That kinda makes the assumption that Chowder needs writing. "Radda radda radda" is comedy gold.

You've never actually sat down and watched either show, have you?

Also, "LOL ICARLY IS THE MOST WATCHED THING ON THE INTERNET TO THE POINT THAT SOME CORPORATE SUITS WANT TO BUY HER OFF EVEN THOUGH SHE'S A NON-PROFIT YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT ISN'T EVEN PARTNER LAWWWL"

ICarly is ok, but Drake, and Josh was a better show. I like her better as Megan than Carly.

Not really interested in the rest, though Teen Titans was pretty good, I just wish they'd given it a proper ending instead of the last episode being a kiss-off to Terra.
Actually, I'd say the official final episode was when defeated the Brotherhood of Evil, the whole Terra episdoe after that one I think was just a way to tell viewers what happened to her...

Is it just me, or did Cartoon Network get significantly worse around the same time their logo changed to 'CN'?
I wasn't sad at all when Toonami disappeared. The only thing I was missing out on was Naruto (in other words, not much). Though I WAS sad when they stopped showing Dragon Ball/DBZ. I remember when I had a sort of ritual going on, I'd watch Dragon Ball in the afternoon, then Sailor Moon, then Powerpuff Girls later on at 8 PM.

What's with the "CN Real" crap??? It's called CARTOON Network, for crying out loud.

Actually I have. My friends and cousins like Chowder and Flapjack. I just don't find them to actually be funny.

The web show is just the thing holding the character in iCarly together, not the point of the show. The real point is just to watch the funny things that go on in these kids lives. They rarely get serious and in the end have a lot of fun or when they do get serious they have a touching moment then everything's ok at the end. In the mean time comedy ensues via Spencer.

You can thank the current CEO of Cartoon Network. He f*cked many things up.

Pfft. YGOTAS has provided a safe haven for me when it comes to my daily dose of animated comedy, which by the way, completely blows these modern day cartoons out the water. :). There's also The Boondocks, as well as TDI, TDA, and coming soon in June, TD:World Tour. So, Cartoon Network hasn't COMPLETELY lost it's luster, with things like Flapjack and Chowder running, especially Chowder, because I managed to catch some adult references in that show, one being the episode where Chowder had to find letters, and each letter stood for the situation he was in. Can anyone think of a word beginning with R that symbolizes someone standing behind another in an abandoned alley? XD

In terms of Cartoon Network; I really don't like what they've done either. I never really liked Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, or Courage the Cowardly Dog; BUT I Love Ed,Edd, and Eddy. But in terms now with the CN Real ****, I hate it. It's suppose to be about CARTOONS not reality shows. Survie This was good at first but I got bored after the first few episodes. TDI was okay as well, TDA I got bored with and didn't bother to finish. Dude what would Happen is just idiotic the same with Destroy Build Destroy...ugh. And now they have this new show coming in June; Unnatural History...it looks interesting but remember the last time they made a live action super hero show? Zixx? yea that one. That show didn't last more than a few saturdays, I'm not sure about this one either. But I guess we'll see....I'm particularly interested since the hero is able to do Parkour...from what I've seen.
