Let's see...
Squirrel Boy - Haven't seen much of it but the squirrel's voice is the same as Dagget from The Angry Beavers. God I loved that show. Anyways, the animation bugs me, especially the kid's deformed face.
My Gym Partner's a Monkey - ....
Tom
Kenny
how
could
you.
Anyways, the theme song makes me cry a little, as well as the name. But I watched some of it because, well... Tom Kenny.
Camp Lazlo - I like the animation, it's not computer generated and the whole camp premise seems full of possibilities although it's slightly confusing -- what? Do they LIVE at camp? Is the show gonna be on for a year and then they'll all just go home?
Billy and Mandy - I watch this sometimes because it can be funny, but in a Family Guy way (oh yes, I went there.). If only they could be less... y'know, gross.
KND - I know I shouldn't judge shwos based on their animation style, but you know that disease that makes your hands and feet get giant and bloated?
.....Yeah.
Juniper Lee - Unbearably boring.

I swear, every time you post on this forum, I think I love you a little more. (I freely admit to judging shows based on their art style. I do it all the time.)

You get a gold star. Use it well. I'm also guilty of judging a book by it's cover. Squirrel Boy is a victim of that, even if Dagget's voice artist works on it (I looovve that beaver). Same with KND. For some reason the football headed guy reminds me of Stewie Griffen. Even their voices sound somewhat the same!

Why thank you! But seriously: How can you have a character with legs so thin that there's no room to fill them in with the flood tool and not think "Hey, maybe making her feet bigger than her torso and head combined isn't such a great idea"? Sure it's a cartoon, but that bugs me every time I see KND. And: His head = GOD NO. Call me shallow, but one of my biggest beefs with both Squirrel Boy and MGPM is that they have possibly the most unattractive lead characters ever. THIS KEEPS ME AWAKE AT NIGHT

...Is anyone else slightly disconcerted that the boy from Squirrel Boy's eyes appear to be his glasses and have no actual physical connection to his face? Tell me I'm not the only one?

Its Everett Peck's style. I can't knock people having unique styles, whether or not I personally like them.

Reminds me of that show that had Jason Alexander voicing the Duck, what was it. Duckman. He removed his glasses and his eyes were in his glasses.

Duckman was also by Everett Peck.
(Peck's sister was my high school art teacher, btw.)

I pretty much met all of the creators from all of the current CN originals at Comic-Con, except Tim and Julie Cahill (from My Gym Partner's a Monkey) -- though I did see them from a distance. Same goes for Maxwell Atoms. I just can't get into MGPAM, I'm sorry to say. Before I first watched this show, I wasn't expecting it to be so -- gross. I know B&M has gross moments, but at least I was expecting it (because it's somewhat of a darker series), and the fact that there are episodes I really enjoy. KND has some good episodes, though some of the more recent ones, I haven't cared for. Juniper Lee is okay, I'll admit that the more recent episodes are better. Camp Lazlo is pretty good. Same goes for EEnE, though I wasn't impressed at first. Squirrel Boy -- I haven't seen any of the newer episode since before leaving CA, so I'm behind.

What's Gym Partner about? Is it about anything? Sorry, haven't seen it yet. And Squirrel boy?
Detailed about me (of course, only the shows I have already seen):
- Foster's: I guess you know
- Ed, Edd n Eddy: I like it, it's funny, though I have already seen most eps so I don't care so much. It was my fave for a year, though. (I don't watch it any more mainly because CN has dubbed the shows and the Hungarian voices... oh, cra-...! Well, most shows are like that in Hungarian, except for Foster's and KND; these two are pretty good)
- Billy and Mandy: I used to like it, I still do, but, oh... when it gets too gross, well... I'm sorry.
- Juniper Lee: I couldn't bear watching a full episode, I was so bored. Seriously, it lacks originality so much it hurts. I have seen the end of an ep, it was too easy. I've seen the beginning of one, when it was supposed to get all "OMG! Trouble! What's gonna happen?!" I yawned and switched channel.
- Camp Lazlo: haven't seen a full ep, but the pieces I've seen weren't so much of my taste. True, it's not bad, I just don't like it.
- KND: has been my fave for more than a year, was actually checking if it was on TV when I saw Foster's for the very first time! The older eps are funny and much better than the new ones, I must say. Well, yeah, the character design is weird, but, about proportions, just look at Mac. (I'm sorry!) -

I really like Billy and Mandy. Even more when it was Grim and Evil. There was an episode the other day where reality fell apart and Billy, Mandy and Grim turned into the Powerpuff Girls. It was very funny indeed. You don't seem to have mentioned my least favourite. Have none of you seen Xiaolin Showdown? It really is bad.

Foster's being the sole exception, I thought that Cartoon Network went downhill when they stopped showing the old Warner Bros. cartoons, and some of the Hanna Barbera shows from the late 1970s-early 1980s, the ones that, when I was growing up in the mid-1980s, were shown on the USA Network on Sunday mornings (albeit heavily edited).
I really, really, REALLY HATE ED, EDD, AND EDDY!!

I just had to vote for The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (with My Gym Partner's A Monkey following in on a VERY close second). I just can't STAND that show for some reason. I just find it simply uninteresting.

The thing I dislike about Xiaolin Showdown is that you can just tell it's trying to be more complex than the other guys. Calling all animators: We don't want cartoons that are complex, we want cartoons that don't suck.
