Choose the best CN original currently airing.

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
Camp Lazlo
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Juniper Lee
Krypto the Superdog
Codename: Kids Next Door

I'm not counting Toonami shows (since as you know there's a forum for that). I'm also not counting Tickle U shows or shows that came on a different network first (like Totally Spies, Mucha Lucha, etc.).

For me, it's no contest. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends takes the cake. It's got great characters and it's really funny and engaging.

Ed, Edd 'n Eddy is a close second.

Billy and Mandy is my current favorite, with Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends as a close second. The Eds come in third for me.

Ed Edd n Eddy wins for me.
Lazlo and Fosters are tied for second, with Billy & Mandy VERY close behind. KND is quite a way behind, but everything else on CN, I just wouldn't watch.

Shows I enjoy Watching. Infact, theres no other non-Adult Swim shows I enjoy watching besides these 3. Pretty sad
1. Ed Edd 'n Eddy
2. Fosters
3. Billy & Mandy


Thinks i dont really care about but I could survive watching:
4. KND

Things I avoid at all costs and what I consider to just simply be "garbage":
6. Juniper Lee
7. Krytpo the Superdog
8. Hi Hi Puffy


End.

I agree with Coolboyman, exactly

Juniper Lee is a crappy show and I hope it gets kicked off.

Krypto the lame***** dog needs to be put down.

And I wanna say Bye Bye Puffy AmiYumi.

All the other's are ok.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is far and away the best show currently airing on Cartoon Network. Nothing else even comes close.

Do I really need to answer that question? :p

All right, I will -- Foster's is, without of a doubt, the best CN original for quite some time. There are so many elements that make this show so intriguing and entertaining. Second would probably be EEnE.

Foster's, Eds and Lazlo entertain me the most and Billy and Mandy has some good stuff in it. The rest is pretty much crap to me.

Ed, Edd, n Eddy is my personal favorite. I have liked the show when I first saw. I have to say that the first season was quite risque and they achieve in getting an audience for the show. Fosters, Bill & Mandy, and Lazlo are the other shows I enjoy from time to time.

I have to go with Fosters here.

Just a wonderful show on so many levels.

Ed, Edd, N' Eddy, Billy and Mandy, Fosters's, and Camp Lazlo I enjoy watching. I use to like KND but recently its gone downhill. All the other shows I wish were never on Cartoon Network in the first place.

Fosters, Eds, Billy and Mandy, Camp Lazlo. I haven't seen enough of Juniper Lee to say one way or another. As for Krypto, I generally consider it to be aiming for a younger demographic than the rest of the shows listed and thus I withhold judgment.

Instant vote for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. One of my favorite cartoons of all-time already! It's creative, funny, has great characters and truly top-notch writing and voice acting.

Second is Krypto the Superdog. Enjoyable light-hearted take on the DCAU with great characters (Streaky!) and good animation.

I also enjoy Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi. The animation style is unique, the characters are appealing, and the classic short structure is nice.

As for the others...I've never liked Ed, Edd, and Eddy--not in the 90s and not now, Camp Lazlo is boring and too reliant on bodily humor and bland jokes, Kids Next Door is very dry to me, and the others I haven't seen enough of to pass judgement on.

1. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
2. Camp Lazlo

After that I'm not liking any of the other new originals or don't care much for the new episodes of current shows (Billy and Mandy is alright though.)

Would Sunday Pants count (even though it's not played?) If so, then count that as number one and move the other 2 down one spot each.

Jeez that's sorta a sad list.

J. Lee has the highest ceiling, I think, but what's the best *current* show?

Grim and Mandy can be pretty entertaining.

I guess I'll go with that for now.:shrug:

I also enjoy Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi. The animation style is unique, the characters are appealing, and the classic short structure is nice.I could argue that only the main characters' designs are inspired, with all the rest being uninspired garbage. The characters and situations, however, are appealing... though, the "classic short structure" allows for even some of the best writers in the business to write horrible stories for the show. David Slack and Michelle Lamoreaux have done better work on Teen Titans and Totally Spies!, respectively, to be honest. Even I could write a better and more relevant script for the show.

Currently: Foster's.

Billy and Mandy and EEnE (purely for the animation - the writing I couldn't care less about) are the only things on that list I'll consider worthy to be considered good.

I formed this list based on schedules and CN's website. So...yeah...what should I add?

Juniper Lee is at the top for me. The show has a brand of humor I really tend to enjoy and the animation is actually quite good in my opinion.

After that I would have to go for Fosters and Grim Adventures. Fosters is another great light hearted comedy, and Mandy is an amazing enough character to carry Grim Adventures.

Choose the best CN original currently airing.

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
Ed, Edd 'n Eddy
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
Camp Lazlo
The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Juniper Lee
Krypto the Superdog
Codename: Kids Next Door

I'm not counting Toonami shows (since as you know there's a forum for that). I'm also not counting Tickle U shows or shows that came on a different network first (like Totally Spies, Mucha Lucha, etc.).

For me, it's no contest. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends takes the cake. It's got great characters and it's really funny and engaging.

Ed, Edd 'n Eddy is a close second.For me it's Foster's (although it aggravates me at times), followed by Kids Next Door. That one really makes me laugh sometimes.

I really can't stand Camp Lazlo. The character designs are incredibly ugly, and the characters themselves are uninteresting. Bleah!

I think I've watched only 3 Ed, Edd and Eddys, and it did amuse me at times. The really dumb Ed has a hilarious voice.

Juniper Lee is gorgeous to look at. But the writing's a bit lame and the little brother isn't funny in the least. Best ep, as I've noted elsewhere, was the one with the magical little girl and her flying horsie. That made me laugh, and she's a good original character. If she were in it more often I'd watch more often.

"Krypto" - acckkk! It's drawn in the clunky angular style of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and why????

It's so nice to see Dexter back in the lineup. CN should order new eps of it, and give it a bigger budget IMO.

Well...yeah, most of them do. I agree. I asked that because your post seemed to indicate that I was missing something. I might be; I dunno.

"The Grim Show" followed by "That Imaginary Friends Show."

Too much applause. Let's not turn this into "The Late Show"

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends-I'll watch it sometimes, liked "RIP-OFF ARTIST!" though.

Ed, Edd 'n Eddy-It's not as good as it use to be.

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi-I thought it was okay at first, but now I realize that the plot's are really retarded and cliched & all the characters are one-dimentional and bland.

Camp Lazlo-This is just sad, the who created this made Rocko's Modern Life. Lazlo himself is wannabe SpongeBob, so is the humor. It's Joe F'n Murray where's the hidden adult jokes.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy-Very good, though Mandy is very flawed. Grim and Billy are funny, I like the random, longer, later episodes though.

Juniper Lee-Never really watch it, though I like Kari from Digimon & her VA plays the title character I might watch it.

Krypto the Superdog-I like it, it's like the 60's Hanna-Barberra cartoons. I also like that Superman himself appeared in the first episode.

Codename: Kids Next Door-Hate it, especially now it bumped off Totally Spies on Miguzi. Plus I thought teenagers are suppose to rebel against adults & now on this show they work for them, which makes this show stupider.

The absolute best:

Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends,
Ed, Edd n Eddy
&
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Shows I liked until they gotten old (reasons why are beside each other):

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi (Reason: First, shut up! I actually thought this show was pretty good. And second, the reason why I grown out of the show is because they didn't even bother with making more, better episodes. Thus CN UK repeated the same 3 episodes again and again and again).

Shows that were crap from Day 1

Codename: Kids Next Door,
Krypto the Superdog
&
The Life & Time of Juniper Lee

I think CN's best current offerings would have to be Billy & Mandy, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, and Camp Lazlo. Fosters can make me laugh sometimes, but I don't like it as much as the others I listed.

1. Ed, Edd and Eddy - One of the few CN originals to get noticeably better every season without fail, resulting in a new season that's just comedy gold. It doesn't achieve it through a lot of word play or plot; it gets those laughs through straight up comedic animation, poses and storyboarding and result is something that's funny whether you're 3 or 103. It gets belly laughes from me (and everyone else in the house) with every new episode, and that's a good sign.

2. Billy and Mandy - Incredibly close second. The show manages to adeptly weave gross out humor, animation-driven gags, dark comedy and even a been of parody and satire without missing a beat most of the time. Almost getting to the point being self-depricating and out-right smart-alek with some of it's writing as of late (the notorious yo's being a great example,) Billy and Mandy manages to forge a unique identity among cartoons in general. If nothing else, it's come along way this the Grim and Evil days.

3. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends - It's definitely brought it's game up since season 1, and those it's still a little wordy at points with out payoff from those words, the animation (albeit a little recycled at points) definitely makes it a standout among Flash/After Effects productions. If it can continue the trend of raising the amount of comedy in each episode, it could easily be outstanding by the 4th season.

Rocko wasn't good just because of the hidden adult jokes.

Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends (1) - My favorite show on this list and one of my favorite cartoons of all-time. :)

Ed, Edd 'n Eddy (8) - I've never understood this show, I also don't understand how people like it. I don't see the comedy and without the comedy - the show's terrible. Not to mention - the animation drives me crazy, it's so terrible.

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi (6) - A half-way decent show that is just right in the middle for me. I can't say anything good or bad about this toon.

Camp Lazlo (3) - This show used to be one of my favorites for a short amount of time. Not a bad show, I think it compares with Rocko's Modern Life pretty well.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (4) - Another great Cartoon Network show, I love the comedy and the animation.

Juniper Lee (7) - An alright show... the voices annoy the sh** out of me though...

Krypto the Superdog (2) - This was one of my favorite shows for a long period of time, I don't see it much anymore because it's on at 1:30 PM. Overall, one of the better shows on Cartoon Network.

Codename: Kids Next Door (5) - (See Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi)

"Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" is not only the best kids' show on cable, it's also the deepest, the most complex, the most heavily satirical, and the smartest show Cartoon Network has to offer. Teens and adults can enjoy it on a whole other level than kids do. I actually didn't think I'd watch CN again after "The Looney Tunes Show" got axed - until I discovered "Foster's".

I'll have to go with Foster's and the Eds. Juniper Lee and Lazlo are OK, but I can't stand Billy and Mandy or Codename: Kids Next Door.
