Which current CN show has the best voice cast?

Hmpf. Good topic (IMO).
I would say either Chowder or TSS. Those are the most unique to me. Followed by Star Wars (bite me), Brave/Bold, TDI, and finally Flapjack. I am not basing this on what shows I like the most.
I would have to say Flapjack. Chowder is a close second, but Truffles and Gorgonzola's voices are too shrill for my liking.

Ben 10: Alien Force, for me. TSS was a close second.

Chowder, absolutely Chowder.
Best cast for action show? Hmm... It sure ain't Clone Wars. I'm gonna go with Batman Brave and the Bold.
Chowder and Flapjack. The casting in each is perfect.

Let me chime in and say Chowder and Flapjack.
I know Flapjack's voice (which is provided by the creator himself) gets criticized as annoying, but I personally like it.
And they got the guy who did Bender to voice a character that only speaks in "Radda"? That's an automatic win in my book.

Though I do give props to the various Teenage voices heard in Total Drama Island fitting the characters well, I'd have to give best voice cast over to Chowder. I don't like Tara Strong's Truffles character (far too shrill for the most part) but the rest of the cast is top notch. Props to CN actually getting a kids voice to do Chowder (when's the last time they did that for one of they're original shows anyway), and double props for getting Dana Snyder to do a voice since Dana is probably the best VA out there who can only really do one voice. (I've yet to see a show where it isn't blantaly obvious that he's a part of it in some role or another).

In terms of comedy, Chowder, hands down. Nicky Jones fits perfectly with Chowder and the entire cast works well together. In terms of action, its a tie between The Secret Saturdays and Alien Force. In both shows, I think that they have the right line for each character and their voice actor/voice actress give their characters just the right amount of emotion in my book.

That would be John DiMaggio, although Kevin Richardson voiced Shnitzel in the first episode.

This is a really hard one. Nicky Jones and Joe Dimmagio as Chowder and Schnitzel respectively do their jobs wonderfully, but I don't think Thurop Van Orman and Brian Doyle Murray as Flapjack and K'Nuckles do their job any less excellently.

I'd say Chowder. Flapjack ain't far behind, but 90% of that show's cast is Jeff Bennett, so the big C wins on account of fresh talent.
The Secret Saturdays also deserves mention, as the voice directing is especially well-done and natural-sounding.

Chowder, definitely. Nicky Jones sounds like he's having a blast as Chowder (he must be a handful in the studio), and just about everyone else in the voice cast seems to fit their characters to a T.
As for Flapjack, I like some of the voices, but I think Flapjack himself is a tad annoying. I do like Bubbie's voice tho.

Secret Saturdays, no question about it. Have you seen the all-star cast that they've got: Phil Morris, Nicole Sullivan, Corey Burton, and Will Friedle!!
Well, the only CN shows I watch are TDI, Clone Wars, and Batman: BATB. TDI has excellent VA, easily some of the best I've heard. Clone Wars ranges from "decent" to "unimpressive" to "God, shut up already!" And Batman is pretty good, so far.

Not sure why but I think 6teen has a good voice pull. After all it might be a show that seems like it could work for live action, but the fact that most of them are realistic does get me to watch it.

Flapjack, TDI, and Ben 10: Alien Force. :cool:
As for Clone Wars.....well.....Matthew Wood (I don't care if his voice is digitally-enhanced for Grievous and the droids :yawn:) , James Arnold Taylor, Tom Kane, and Dee Bradley Baker are all good at voicing their respective characters. I just wish Mat Lucas would've voiced Anakin.

This thought keeps entering my mind as I watch Chowder--- Somehow or other, as Chowder gets more and more seasons, they're gonna end up speeding up Little Nicky Jones' voice to compensate for the effects of puberty. This is not hard to do---this is achieved by either running Nicky's tapes through a Thiatron at a slightly faster-than-normal speed while a recorder (running at normal speed) records the sped voice, or through digital resampling. If this was done for Chip n' Dale, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and even a few Looney Tunes characters (Daffy, Porky, Tweety, Speedy Gonzales) back in the day, it'll also work on Nicky now.
What's your take on this matter?

I know it's something C.H. Greenblatt admitted is a dilemma in alot of his interviews. He says that he may let Chowder age a little if Nicky's voice changes.
Otherwise they'll probably just work on many episodes as possible in order to have a decent backlog.

The best current cast is either Secret Saturdays or Batman: Brave And The Bold.
I think the casts of the two canadain shows TDI / 6teen have impressed me, even though I don't know much about them. Except for one though not as a voice actor, I know Adam (Justin) Reid from You Can't Do That On Television. But other than that, I don't know anything about the cast of TDI / 6teen, except they are pretty good.
I am surprised to hear that Tara Strong is not Izzy, whoever Katie Crown is, she sounds just like Tara, who is canadian BTW. I guess Tara doesn't do canadian voice overs anymore.

While tara does live in LA now, going to Canada would be a hell of a commute. ;)
According to her imdb page and myspace Katie Crown is a Toronto area comedian who writes and stars in various Canadian comedy productions, TDI is the first voice acting project she has done.Considering she is from Toronto and Tara strong was born there, perhaps that can explain why they sound somewhat similar, perhaps they come from the same area of the city.
Anyway most of the TDI voice actors are Toronto area actors who divide their time between voice acting, appearing on Canadian TV and movies and being extras in American movies shot up here.
