No one touches cartoon network: Samurai jack , justice league , ben 10, teen titans, billy and Mandy , Dexter , cow and chicken, Scooby doo, Power Puff girls , KIDS NEXT DOOR , adventure time , ed edd and eddy, young justice , Johnny bravo , Fosters home for imaginary friends , Flap Jack , Johnny test , Lonney tunes ( bugs bunny, tweety, Wiley coyote, etc. ) , courage the cowardly dog , tom and jerry, camp lazlo, totaly spies, code lyoko, BATMAN , SUPERMAN, young justice , total drama island , regular show, gumball, This not even counting TONAMI WHICH IS SEGMENT OF CARTOON NETWORK ,,, just like nick at night, nick jr, and disnet movie and disney XD .... CARTOON NETWORK SMASHESSSSSS

The old Cartoon Network will always be the all time GOAT to me. They had everything from Samurai jack to Dexters Laboratory 🔥🔥🔥

So we just gonna skip Ben 10, Total Drama Island, Secret Saturday’s, and 6teen

Nothing makes me happier than grown ass men HYPING to my childhood shows 😭🤘🏻

Ben 10 got everyone wanting an omnitrix🚫🧢

Those old CN commercials when the cartoons characters used to interact was 🔥

Cartoon Network does deserve credit for really introducing anime to western culture at a young age. A lot of us may not have realized we were watching anime at the time when we were watching dbz and Naruto on Toonami, but looking back that was my first introduction to anime. Not only that but pokemon, Bakugan, and Yugioh are straight-up anime that they would show during the day.

Y’all ain’t *EVEN MENTION* Beyblade or Ben 10. And y’all slept on Neds Declassified, ICarly and Victorious like they didn’t carry Nick when Spongebob was just doing reruns😤😤

U BEEN SLEEPIN ON JAKE LONG THE AMERICAN DRAGON!!!!!!!!

I know yall didnt forget the entire Warner Bros franchise, Tom and Jerry, Looney tunes, Space Jam..etc? The disrespect. Cartoon network even let Disney borrow a couple of shows to get their ratings up. Cartoon Network #1 with and without anime.

Avatar and Spongebob carried Nick when it comes to the cartoon shows

our generation had great shows to grow up on. These 3 channels literally shaped our childhood

Yall forgot about Chowder, The Adventures of Flapjack, Dexter Labratory

All 3 Channels had heat back in the day but I say Cartoon Network

Nick had the Avatar series. That’s 09 LeBron. Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra too fire.

Nick had Kenan & Kel Drake & Josh Avatar The Last Airbender. And honestly that’s all I need

Yeah Cartoon Network wins not only do they have Toonami, but they got Adult Smim and Boomerang. You can’t beat DBZ, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, the Flinstones

Don’t sleep on wizards of waverly place, that show SLAPS

"Boy meets world" "Naw" "Zoey 101" "Naw" "Ned's declassified school survival guide" "Naw" "INCREDIBLES!!!" "Hell naw, you cheat'in!" "Rember The Titans" "Ok...... " You Daaaaaaamn right!!! LEFT SIDE!!!

Cartoon Network takes the cake man. The jetsons, the flinstones, Johnny bravo, courage the cowardly dog, billy & Mandy, Ed Edd and Eddy?? Teen titans?? Samurai Jack?? TOM & JERRY??? Come on stop playin!!

Boys really left Looney Tunes , Tom and Jerry AND Scooby-Doo out of Cartoon Network smh

Yo Imma be honest This is how I see it Disney got the Movies Nick got the Comedy And Cartoon Network got the Action If we are basing it overall

Y’all forgot: Ying Yang Yo Digimon Pucca Lazy Town Goosebumps Power Rangers The Replacements Brandy and Mr. Whiskers And Recess

Ya'll slept on Nick's game shows. Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Nick Arcade, Guts.

CN vs Nick vs Disney _Truly a battle for the ages_

I'm with Cartoon Network all the way on this one, the others are still good and everything but still. Edit: Y'all some real ones frfr, a salute (armin if you will) to you all and thanks for the likes.

Cartoon Network - best cartoons Nickelodeon - best sitcoms Disney - best movies

its a tough one - CN introduced Anime to a western audience, Disney definitely had the best movies, but i think Nick had the most iconic shows

Who’s team Cartoon Network if so like this ✋🏾

Only thing wrong with Nickelodeon was that stupid world wide day of play 😤

Cartoon Network had the hardest fall-off.

There’s nothing I love to see more than a group of adult men arguing over which children network has the best children shows

Toonami was a part of Adult Swim which was the Adult Part of Cartoon Network so TECHNICALLY.... Cartoon Network was the best lmao

Disney - movies CN - variety Nickelodeon - My Childhood.

Don’t matter who is better. I’m glad I got to live in a time when all three networks were in their prime.

watched the Avatar moment like 16 times. been waiting for em to bust that out n it was perfect thank you

They forgot JetiX which is owned by Disney! It had shows like Super Robot Monkeys, Digimon, Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man and Iceman, Sonic X, Superman! Well at least that’s what I remember

1. Cartoon Network - Mostly All Cartoon by heart and less live-action. Variety of awesome shows personally from Regular Show, Adventure Time, Ed Edd n Eddy, KND, Johnny Bravo, Courage, Billy and Mandy, Fosters, Dexter, PPG, etc. Granted, Toonami and Adult Swim are apart of the channel block, it counts as personally as it's own separate things considering the anime, etc. 2. Nickelodeon - They were a close competition with Cartoon Network with the cartoons and had variety as well but also had some dope Live-Action that was well-received from Drake and Josh, ICarly, Victorious, Amanda Show, All That, Kenan and Kel, etc. As for the cartoons that was hot fire, it was Spongebob (especially the early years), Fairy Oddparents (early years), Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom, Rocket Power, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey Arnold, CatDog, Angry Beavers, etc. Reason why it's 2nd for me is because it kind of fell off around 2008 personally and Cartoon Network personally was on it's last legs with Adventure Time and my all-time favorite, Regular Show. 3. Disney - They were going in with the cartoons, live action, and movies altogether but honestly they were lit. I only watched few animated shows at best from Phineas and Ferb, Kim Possible, Recess, Proud Family and that was practically it really for me. As for live action shows, it was Zack and Cody (and On Deck), Hannah Montana, That's So Raven, Cory in the House, and Wizards of Waverly Place. Original Movies I felt established the original movie trend for other channels because not only they provided those in theaters but also on television as well equally I would say. But why it's last is because they're weren't as much animated shows for me compared to Cartoon Network and Nick.

Just came across this topic on ig reels and it’s crazy how y’all are the ones doing it

The boomerang bumper theme will always be a mark to my childhood always waking up in the middle of the night and seeing that brings so much nostalgia.

Cartoon Network:what we would watch on Saturdays and Sunday’s for variety Nick:what we would watch in the evening after school Disney:what we would wake up randomly at night and it’s playing so we watch it since we can’t fall asleep Adult Swim:We wake up early in the morning around 1 am and a anime opening is randomly playing so you watch it and turns out it was either (Inuyasha,Dbz,YuYuHakusho,Bleach, Naruto or even one piece)

Ok but what about symbiotic Titan and Voltron not to forget the old Cartoon Network commercial break theme "YOU ARE WATCHING CARTOON NETWORK" in that robot voice with all the Cartoon Network figurines in the background

I done listened to all of these 30 times each at work RDC we need more.

Thank you for this video bros keep up the greatness

Y’all really left out all the dc shows on Cartoon Network like justice league

Idc what anyone has to say, Cartoon Network had all the classics from age 5-12

Who remembers that show called “H2O just add water”?? That was the shit😂

Man!! Ya brought me back to my childhood with this one.

Honestly all three channels were cold but Cartoon Network imo.

Bruh how yall forget looney tunes man! Tom and Jerry, cartoon network had movies too! Fire Breather was flaammmeesss

Y'all can make a part 2 to this no cap

Yall should do like a top 20 shows from these channels combined

*I can't be the only one who remembers Class of 3000😭😭*

Man I feel disrespected with them putting Ben 10 in honorable mentions 😂

This has always been one of the hardest topics for me to discuss because you have to be very precise with how you decide which of the channels was the overall best. I like to rank them based off 3 categories and I exclude movies and late time networks like adult swim and Nick @ nite from the discussion because they were separate networks and only Disney and Nick made ORIGINAL movies. Also anime may have been on the channel Cartoon Network but they were shown on adult swim so they don’t count. The three categories are Peak prime, Longevity and Number of hit shows. First off is longevity, now in my opinion Disney wins in this area. They had great shows for a solid 20 plus years from the early to mid 90’s all the way until 2016 or so. Next is number of hit shows and I believe Cartoon Network wins this category hands down. They had an endless amount of great TV shows for ppl to watch for 15-20 years. Hit for hit they easily beat Disney and Nick. Now for the hardest category, peak prime. I believe all three channels peak primes were in the 2000’s. Of course each channels peak didn’t start and end at the same time. I believe Disney’s prime ran the entire 2000’s and into the early 2010’s but their peak during that time was definitely 02-09. Everything was practically perfect on the channel from the shows to the movies and even the specials. Imo Cartoon Networks peak was from 1998 all the way until 07. They were perfect for almost 10 years and it’s reasonable to even say from 98 all the way to 2010 was CN’s peak. They had the longest running peak I’ve ever seen from one channel. Last but definitely not least, Nickelodeon. Their peak went from 2000-08. Like Cartoon Network, Nicks peak almost went for 10 years and they had a perfect balance of cartoons and live action shows. The best out of the three channels imo. When it comes to who had the best peak prime I have to give it to Cartoon Network because there’s was the longest. In conclusion the best channel from our childhoods is NONE of them. It’s all objective, everyone has their own valid opinion and reasons for choosing any of the three channels as the best. I personally don’t have a favorite because I loved them all so much.

Forgot one of the most goated shows on Cartoon Network Tom&jerry and forgot looney toons too😭😭😭

ED EDD N EDDY, Monster House, Camp Lazlo, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Billy and Mandy, Flintstones etc. When it comes down to cartoons n movies I have Cartoon Net. winning lol but Nickelodeon had some great original shows too plus spongebob is still poppin to this day. Then Disney was a great combination of both movies and cartoons. It’s really complicated to choose one over the other... Shit Animal Planet w/ Steve Irwin was a hit to me growing up😂r.i.p.🙏🏽

Bro how tf are they going through my entire damn childhood lmaooo

The nostalgia and memories from watching this almost brought me to tears

Damn what about "the journey of Allen strange" (gala gala's island) (Goosebumps) (Are u afraid of the dark?) (Angry beavers) (Catdog) (Monsters)

I'll be real with you Cartoon Network was the main event as a kid Nick and Disney were like the side pieces

Cartoon Network even without Anime had Ben 10, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, KND, Ben 10 Omniverse, Code Lyoko etc. Disney Channel was solid but it was geared more toward girls in my opinion.

This video was pure gold, non stop nostalga and laughs 😌

Such an underrated episode. Super funny debate

Y'all forgot Cartoon Network had BEYBLADE,Bakugan,Ben 10,Secret Saturday's

Should've brought up "good burger"

This is the debate we needed

Nickelodeon 100%. Avatar the last Airbender, Avatar legend of Korra, Invader Zim, Angry Beavers, Fairy Odd Parents, and Spongebob. You can’t beat that lineup. The Avatars alone are good enough to beat everything else single handily

The debate of my childhood, had this argument all the time.

Varsity: Cartoon Network JV: Nick Not even the same sport: Disney

Daaamn, when Leland said Cheetah girls my whole childhood flashed before my eyes. That shit was hard ngl and I deadass forgot about it until now.

20:35 this man Ben looks disrespected af 😂

Cartoon Network had Dexter's Laboratory ben 10 and Johnny test

1. Cartoon Network (Cause of Toonami) 2. Nickelodeon (Dan Schneider and Avatar) 3. Disney

Team CN for life! Based on your description "which channel had the best lineup," Toonami and Adultswim count because they are definitely a part of CN's lineup. Let's not forget that Adultswim is more than Family Guy. It has original content such as Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, SeaLab 2021, Venture Brothers, Boondocks, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and so on. Toonami also has non-anime shows like Batman the Animated Series (which originally ran on fox), Megas XLR and for some time they ran Symbiotic Titan. The latter two had the makings of iconic shows but were canceled before their time. CN missed out on two more hits when they canceled those shows. Overall, CN wins due to their insane lineup. It appealed to a wider audience; may they be anime lovers, fans of adult animated comedies or shows that think outside of the box/ follows its own unique formula (e.g., Samurai Jack). I really enjoyed watching you guys' trip down memory lane. Great video!

idk if it’s been said already but the intro to this series is fire

Disney should honestly be 3rd. Disney sitcoms not beating Zoey 101, Ned’s Declassified, Drake and Josh, I Carly, Kenan and Kel, The Amanda Show. Not even Thats So Raven, Lizzie and Even Stevens.

I grew up on all of these but, WHERE THE PBS AT?! CYBERCHASE, CLIFFORD, ARTHUR I apologize I’m a 2000s baby, I probably don’t belong here 😂😂😂

LOOOVVEEDDD this episode

the power hour with jimmy and timmy was heat brot don’t sleep 💪🏽🔥

Cartoons: Cartoon Network (stop it if you think anyone else holds a candle) Movies: Disney Best Show: Nickelodeon (Avatar)

I was low-key gon be pissed if you didn't mention Danny Phantom and Avatar and Hey Arnold! 😂😂😂

“We got Naruto!” “Thats so much bullshit”😂😂

This my fav episode of back n forth

No flinstones, jetsons, speed racer? Where did the looney toons start at? Wasn’t it Cartoon Network? Tom and jerry, bugs and daffy, Wiley coyote, taz, Sylvester and tweety. Y’all sleeping.

Bro this hit deep I miss our childhood so much, you forget about all these shows growing up and waking up at 7am with bowls of cereal watching these shows faithfully lol.

Great vid guys. All these shows was heat man. Its so hard to rank the channels. But id have to go with Cartoon network as number 1. With the other 2 very close behind

My question is howwwww did they forget the Original BEN 10!! , the original TEEN TITANS and THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUM BALL those alone are goated🐐♾

Can’t believe you forgot Ben 10, Generator Rex, Beyblade, and Bakugan

_Cow and Chicken_ _Johnny Bravo_ _I am weasel_ _Ed edd 'n eddy_ _Courage the cowardly dog_ I'll make sure the next generation knows about these shows

This was lit! Definitely back and forth lol

Don't forget about the American dragon Jake long! That was my all time favorite childhood show

Tempted to say Nickelodeon just because Last Airbender is the GOAT, but cartoon network was loaded with shows I could watch all day long. Still can't say no to avatar

How y'all miss Total Drama Island?!! Yes, that was around the start of the modern CN era but the concept of an animated game show was pretty good. Also, I want to see y'all do this Saturday Morning Cartoons like Jetix, 4kids, KidsWB, and more cause this brought back good ass memories.

Everybody got a role, y’all inspiration for African American dreamers, keep doing big things RDC ♥️

The old Cartoon Network, hands down. Their Cartoon Cartoons (and original cartoons) were great with Dexter’s Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage, Billy and Mandy, KND, Foster’s, and Flapjack; they had Toonami bringing anime to the west with DBZ, Sailor Moon, Gundam, and action cartoons in general; they originally appreciated their creations with the likes of the Cartoon Theatre, Tex Avery Show, June Bugs, and even playing Studio Ghibli’s films. And then the commercials where the characters interacted with each other was great. They started to fall off when they tried to implement the live action crap in the mid 00’s, but started to come back with Adventure Time, Regular Show, and other shows like that. However, CN couldn’t keep up the momentum. Now, they’re just a husk of what they are and it’s sad…. 😢

All you had to do was say “POWER RANGERS “ Mic Drops 😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

HOW CAN Y'ALL FORGET THE MOVIE HOLES 😭

All these years I'm still watching back and forth

As soon as you guys went crazy over Maggie and the ferocious beast I broke out in tears
