The 25 Best Cartoon Network Shows, Ranked

If that bright red, lanky, half-devil half-lobster abomination from The Powerpuff Girls still haunts you to this day, then you’re in the right place. Actually, come to think of it, half of the things that lurk around in the back of my mind today all come from Cartoon Network.

Whereas Nickelodeon hit its largest stride in the golden age of the ’90s, Cartoon Network practically had a death grip on the early-2000s with shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Somehow I’ve brought myself to rank the 25 best Cartoon Network shows that we’ve ever seen, from the early days of the lesser-known Sheep in the Big City all the way to the more recent Over the Garden Wall.
