I used to love Cartoon Network! The only good things they have one there now (mind you that I don't know what they actually have now) are Adventure Time and Regular Show. Since they've played host to those horrible, horrible live-action shows, I've lost a lot of interest and respect... NOW THEY TURN TO ANNOYING ORANGE.
The first time I looked at Annoying Orange, I thought it was stupid enough that it would die off quickly. If there was a way to measure how wrong I was... yeesh. I have never seen anything redeeming about AO... (Also: You people have good taste in TV)

And even the mediocre anime is ten times better than anything else on Cartoon Network

Oh, I love the new ThunderCats...I also have a guilty pleasure in watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars, despite the fact that I'm not really into the style of it, but it's Star Wars, and mostly anything Star Wars has a hold on me. Plus I was made a very happy camper in the 3 episode story arc that began with "The Citidel" where we get an OT referance with Captain Tarkin, the man who becomes Grand Moff....dear god I'm a geek...

ಠ_ಠ ... This is the first I've heard of a Thundercats reboot. However, I recall seeing trailers for the Star Wars show. It looked neat; AKA doing what a trailer's supposed to do. Can't say I watched much anime. I liked Cowboy Bebop back when they were showing it, though!

It's different enough from the original show to not be a rehash, yet it's similar enough to appeal to the original fans, and good enough to appeal to new fans. Also, it contains a lot of throwbacks to Thundercats AND at least one throwback to Silverhawks.

Tai's most recent favourite shows, in no particular order! Yes, they're all cartoons! Most of them are on Cartoon Network! Why would I watch anything else?
Adventure Time - It's quirky and weird and is like playing imaginary games as a kid. Also a great source of accidental nightmare fuel. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Cuteness and character depth! Memes everywhere! Seriously, do I have to go into depth here? Young Justice - It plays fast and loose with DC's actual continuity, but it's a great superhero show. And we've needed one of those ever since Teen Titans and Justice League ended. Regular Show - Finally someone who listens to Tai when Tai says things don't need to happen in a way that makes sense. Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. - I will technically count this even though the new season hasn't started yet. It's new enough, and there's DVDs! But: it's a Scooby-Doo show. With character depth. Actual entertainment value. Self-referential humour. Things that are actually scary. And an on-going story arc. Holy crap. Dan Vs. - I wish I could see more of this show, because the surly jerkass protagonist is entirely relatable to me. Also, the Hub's only truly unique show! Generator Rex - This is not the worst show! It's frequently corny and silly, yes, but it has an interesting concept, and when it's actually doing something to advance its plotline instead of filler, it's pretty adequate! Also, there's some genuinely creepy body horror, and it's also where I first saw the recent aversions to NeverSayDie and FamilyFriendlyFirearms. And it doesn't always let status quo sit. Always a plus! Ben 10 - Yep, this show is still on. It's at the bottom of this list for a reason, even though I said no particular order. I still like the concept. I do not like the execution (unless one of the leads is executed?). I watch it largely to make fun of it and see how predictable it is. Much like why I still read Goosebumps. But dammit, I have fun mocking it. And that's good enough for me!

What about NTSF:SD:SUV? It has Captain Janeway in it but the whole thing is so... stupid.
I do however enjoy the Robo Chikken and ze Scooby Doo.

No list is complete without MLP:FIM, I used to love MLP when I was kid watching the G1 version, but G4 has blown my mind, I will never be the same. MLP:FIM is truly one of the best shows of TV right now, hands down.

Say what you want about the plot of Voyager (Yeah, it is a little contrived) but the characters were goddamn great. I grew up watching Voyager :V Loved it a lot. Didn't care for the original series or next generation, though. (Though I didn't hate them either). Deep Space Nine was also awesome.

I got to meet her at Dragon*Con and people kept asking about NTSF:SD:SUV >.< Though they did mention Dragon Age, so that saved it.
:V Oops, off topic.
As for Tim and Eric... can we like drop a bomb on them?

I will now comment on Tai's list, because that is what I do:
I see the memes, anyway.
Never seen it.
Yeah, I could actually see myself watching this regularly, if it didn't take me effort.
For those of you who are not in-the-loop, my TV is broken, which means I'd have to keep up with it online. Nope.
Never seen it.
People say it's good, & that does sound good, but it seems like every time I see it it's really bad.
My nephew was watching some Ben 10/Generator Rex crossover earlier & I remember thinking, "Wow...relatively speaking, Ben's not annoying & his jokes aren't that bad."
We are in agreement, but might I just add, what the fuck is with the show completely changing the rules every season?

That doesn't bother me half as much as Kevin being an anti-hero with completely different abilities, Gwen being half-alien, & this being the, what, 3rd timeskip with just as many new Big Bads in a series that's not even that old?

Even Rusty, who loves the show, admits that those first two things are a big plothole of plotholiness. As far as timeskip goes... well, it's better than the main character being 10 for ten seasons straight. *eyes Pokemon*
