MegasXLR, Two Stupid Dogs, Courage, Billy and Mandy, Evil Concarne, Chowder... so many good shows...
Cow & Chicken, need I say more?
Forgot that one, also epic ๐.
The one that I'm the most bummed out about is Megas, I just loved that show, only 2 seasons man ๐คฆ. There was a petition to keep doing it, but have no idea why CN pulled the plug, that show was epic anime satire, just loved it. Not to mention the score, people still share tracks from that show on YT.

You're preaching to the choir, brother. I'm a huge mecha nerd, owed in large part to Megas XLR. I've read that the show was really meant for a more mature audience, and had it waited a year to debut on Adult Swim, who knows where we'd be now? I have both seasons on my Plex server, and it's such a guilty pleasure to live my childhood again. Chicks dig giant robots.
To be honest, I was never a mecha nerd. I mean, a few episodes of this or that, mostly at friend's places, but I never watched anime or mecha on a daily basis. But yeah, I did understand the culture and the people (some of my friends were anime and/or mecha nerds).
That's why I LOVED Megas ๐. It was an anime parody ๐. You don't see too many of those, not to mention with good animations and made to look like it's a dead serious show, lol.
Yeah, it was meant for a more mature audience, I mean there was a lot of sex related jokes and dialogue, lol. I wish they bring it back on Adult Swim ๐ญ. I would pay good money to see new episodes of it... I really would, that is probably the one show from my childhood that I was like "huh ๐คจ... you show this to kids?... that's so cool ๐" (I wasn't that young, I was like 17, 18, I understood the dialogue and the jokes).
What can I say, chicks dig giant robots man ๐คท ๐ค ๐.
