7 cartoons that must die, and 8 cartoons that should keep going

There are many things in my life that are sometimes good and sometimes bad. There is good stuff like classic Disney, and bad stuff like 9/11. However, the world has become a terrible place since 2007, but however things are always sweet the way it used to be. However, here is a list of cartoons that must go, and cartoons that must stay.

15. Just Stop: Family Guy

A long time ago in 1995,  Seth MacFarlane created Larry and Steve for Cartoon Network's What-A-Cartoon Show, a cartoon about a middle aged man, with a very smart anthropomorphic dog. Larry is the human, and Steve is the dog. (I'm not talking about the two teenagers from Rugrats, I'm talking about the man and the dog.) Fox saw the Larry and Steve shorts, and then asked MacFarlane to create Family Guy. By doing that, Fox recommended him to finalize and 15 minute short with a budget of $50,000, which then evolved into the first episode of Family Guy, which aired after the Super Bowl.

The show was originally going to be short movies for the sketch show MADtv, but the plan was reciprocated due to MADtv's budget not being big enough to support projection in animation. MacFarlane mentioned that he wanted to pitch Family Guy to find a place to create a prime time cartoon. The show was originally pitched to Fox the same year as King of the Hill, but it wasn't bought until years later, when King of the Hill became victorious. Fox ordered 13 episodes after MacFarlane affected executives with a seven-minute demo. However, the show aired for three seasons, but now was canceled due to low ratings.

In 2003, Family Guy reran on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, boosting viewership by 239%, which then brought a cult buying over 400,000 copies not beyond one month. The DVD set sales reached over 2.2 million copies, becoming the best-selling television DVD of 2003. The popularity of the show in DVD sales and reruns revived Fox's interest, and on May 20, 2004, Fox ordered 35 new episodes of Family Guy, making it the first revival of a TV show based on DVD sales. Now for 13 years, the show has gone very bad, spreading embarrassment, consternation, and too many cameos. So we need this show to be canceled, with a two-part finale where the whole Griffin family goes to jail, for not helping an autistic guy in a mid-Atlantic town in New Jersey. (Similar to Seinfeld.) Also, it should be revealed that Stewie isn't a baby after all, but a MIDGET!

14. Keep Going: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

In 1984, somewhere in Dover New Hampshire, Mirage Studios published the first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The concept emanated from an amusing drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during an offhand event of brainstorming and bad television with Peter Laird. Using money from a tax refund, together with a credit from Eastman's uncle, the two young artists self-published a single-issue comic designated to parody four of the most popular comics during the 1980s, such as Marvel's Daredevil, New Mutants, Dave Sim's Cerebus, and Frank Miller's Ronin. The TMNT comic book series has been published in diverse incarnations by various comic book companies in 1984. Three years later, Eastman and Laird teamed up with Playmates, and Murakami-Wolf-Swenson to create a line of toys and a TV series on CBS, until three more years later, a movie was produced, followed by a film franchise during the next three years. In 1997, Saban created a TV show Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, using the same puppets as the live action movie trilogy, but with different looks, but lasted for two years. After four years dormancy, a new TV series dubbed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, aired on FoxBox, later 4KidsTV. The series storyline stuck closer to the initial Mirage comic book series, but it was still less violent. It lasted for seven seasons and 156 episodes, leading the series to end in February 2009.

Eight months later, Viacom bought the Ninja Turtles, making it related to Ren and Stimpy, Rocko and more, leading Nickelodeon to produce a TV show on September 29, 2012, which aired for a total of five seasons. Now, with a lot of success, Viacom has plans for the next show, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which will air in September 2018, which will be hand drawn, and will have adventures before the 1987 series, (Possibly) and then Nick will make a better film franchise. (Next thing Viacom should buy, is Alvin and the Chipmunks.)

13. Just Stop: Angry Birds

In 2003, three students from Helsinki University of Technology, Niklas Hed, Jarno Väkeväinen, and Kim Dekert founded Relude, along with Nik's cousin, Mikael Hed. The team created King of the Cabbage World, which was sold to Sumea Studios of Digital Chocolate, which led Relude to bankruptcy. In January 2005 Relude changed its name to Rovio Mobile. ("Rovio" means "flame" in Finnish.) In early 2009, Rovio began to analyze proposals for potential games. A simulated screenshot of angry-looking birds with no visible limbs was created by non other than this guy. 
Jaakko Iisalo, that's right! Jaakko Iisalo. He was born in the same year Donkey Kong was released, and probably likes Homestar Runner cartoons. The staff at Rovio liked his characters, and the team accepted to design a game around them. During the same time, Crush the Castle was a very popular game, so Rovio got inspired from it and other games similar to it. During the development of Angry Birds, the staff needed an enemy for the birds. In the news, the dreaded "swine flu" pandemic came about, so the staff made the birds' enemies pigs. (The reds taste like cherry, the yellows taste like banana, the blues taste like blue raspberry, the blacks taste like licorice, the whites taste like pineapple, the greens taste like apple, pink tastes like bubble gum, big red tastes the same as the small red, and orange tastes like orange. I wouldn't eat the pigs anyway, they probably taste like boogers.) The game was Rovio's 52nd produced game and on its initial release, it didn't sell many copies. The game has scored over 500 million downloads, which led Rovio Mobile to change its name to Rovio Entertainment Ltd. for bringing the merchandise and cartoons of Angry Birds.

Now it has gone too foul for bad promotion, pointless stereotypes, and worst of all, The Angry Birds Movie. Well, at least the merchandise sales dropped by 43% due to poor sales in 2014. But however, something topped it off.  Yes, it's Minecraft, made by Microsoft's Swedish subsidiary, Mojang, which Minecraft was created by this guy. Markus Persson, that's right, Markus Persson. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden to a Swedish father, and a Finnish mother on June 1st, 1979. He lived in Edsbyn for his first seven years before he and his family moved back to Stockholm, Sweden. At the age of seven, he began to program on his father's Commodore 128 computer. Having explored with various type-in programs he assembled his first game, a text-based adventure game. For over four years, he worked at King.com, where he professionally worked as a game developer, until 2009. He later on worked as a programmer for Jalbum. He's also one of the founders for Wurm Online, thus he no longer works on it. He has made seven games for competitions. In November 2011, he created Minecraft, which became a smash hit, and scored over 1 million downloads. Thus, Microsoft feels proud of himself. (He's my hero too.) I know Minecraft is not on the list, but it should keep going.

12. Keep Going: Pokémon

A long time ago, a boy named Satoshi Tajiri loved collecting insects. As time rolled by, he observed more civilization taking place in the town where he resided and as a result, the insect population dwindled. When he grew up, Tajiri noticed that kids nowadays played in their homes instead of outside and he came up with the concept of a video game containing creatures that resembled animals called CapuMon, but it couldn't get off the ground, so instead, it became Pocket Monsters, or Pokémon for short. He thought children could disclose to Pokémon by individually naming them, and controlling them to represent happiness, gloom, fear, anger, and antipathy as a good way of euphoria, despair, relieving stress, and revulsion. However Pokémon don't bleed or die during battle, they faint - this was a very precarious subject to Tajiri, as didn't want to further fill the world of gaming with "fruitless violence". When the Gameboy was released, Tajiri decided the system was perfect for his idea, especially because of the link cable, which he imagined would allow players to trade Pokémon with each other. This approach of trading information was new to the industry of video games because connection cables were previously being used for competition. Tajiri said, that he imagined a chunk of information being transferred by connecting two Game Boys with significant cables, and wow, that's really going to be something. He was also impacted by Square's Game Boy game, Final Fantasy Legend, observing in an interview that the game gave him the idea that further than just action games could be developed for the handheld. The two main characters became Satoshi, who was named Ash in the US, and Shigeru, who became Gary in the US as well. Ken Sugimori, Tajiri's longtime friend and artist, lead the development of illustrations and designs of the Pokémon, working with a team of less than ten people, who conceived the numerous for all 151 Pokémon. Junichi Masuda was the music composer for the game, in which he utilized the four sound channels to create the music, the sound effects, and the voices for the Pokémon heard upon encountering them. The games, Pokémon Red & Blue were released on February 27, 1996 in Japan, and September 28, 1998 in the USA, selling a total of 31 million copies all over the world, leading the TV show to air in 1996 in Japan, and 1998 in the USA. Wow, what a blast!

Due to the franchise's success, it had led to new generations, and new mechanics, entertaining people with types, animals, cards, toys, and other stuff. Now that I think of it, it should keep going on television for more fun. Otherwise, the Team Rocket trio (Jessie, James, and Meowth) should appear regularly in further Pokémon episodes, so Ash and his friends can keep traveling the world, meeting fun friends, evil enemies, and cool critters. The famous countries they have been to were the USA, Japan, and France. But where should they go next, Mexico, Egypt, Scandinavia, The United Kingdom? Tell me where they should go next in the Pokémon world. Just let me know in the comments.

11. Just Stop (But it already did): The Fairly Odd Parents

A man named Butch Hartman originally pitched the show to Cartoon Network, but the pilot was never shown because Hartman was to busy with Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and I. M. Weasel. The show's pilot wasn't actually finished until it was pitched to Nickelodeon. The producer and creator, Butch Hartman originally created The Fairly OddParents as Fairy Godparents, a seven-minute short film for the first season of Fred Seibert's Oh Yeah! Cartoons. During season 3 of the show, six more short films were made. Nickelodeon then complied to an order of seven episodes (consisting of two eleven-minute segments) of The Fairly OddParents, which began to air on March 30, 2001 along with Jhonen Vasquez's Invader Zim. Fun Facts: Timmy Turner was voiced by Mary Kay Bergman in Oh Yeah! Cartoons, while Tara Strong voiced him in the series; Wanda's middle name is Venus.

The show has ran for five seasons, until January 24, 2006, it stopped. Until February 2, 2008, it made a comeback. The new character became Poof, who is the son of Cosmo and Wanda, made his first appearance in Fairly OddBaby. The show ran for ten more years, but now the series is over because the creator, Butch Hartman is gone, and it's permanently kaput. I know the show has been cancelled, and it needs a replacement, it needs something like...

My Life As A Teenage Robot
That's right, My Life As A Teenage Robot. Like The Fairly OddParents, the show started on Oh Yeah! Cartoons, and then got a final cartoon series. It's a cartoon about a teenage robot girl named Jenny, who wants have fun with other humans, rather than save the world. The show aired from August 1st, 2003 to September 9, 2005, and then its new season aired from October 4. 2008 to May 2, 2009 on the Nicktoons Network. The series began rerunning in the mid 2010s, and its popularity was booming. (Sorry Dora the Explorer) It was beaten by Vasquez's Invader Zim, during a Upick, and now it needs new seasons. Speaking of which, if you want MLAATR back, you should visit www.teenagerobotrebooted.com/ and become a member there.

This is what the future of MLAATR would look like.

10. Keep Going: Ben 10

Before Cartoon Network picked up some action based shows, a group called Man of Action, consisting of four comic book creators, Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle (I don't know what the T stands for.) worked on the Ben 10 concept for roughly 3 years before Cartoon Network picked up the series. Early on in development, it was established that a villain would be within the Omnitrix. After Ghostfreak was designed, the group added dialogue into the first season to give the audience that there's something more to Ghostfreak. Formerly Canonbolt the eleventh alien transformation was going to be in the first set of aliens, but was replaced by Ghostfreak. While doing test animations for the series, Four Arms became the first alien transformation to be tested. It was the most famous transformation out of all the aliens for Man of Action. Many of the unused concept art for Upchuck were recycled into the episode, Ben 10,000 as two of Ben's aliens, Spitter and Articguana, and as Sploot, the villain. Steven E. Gordon worked on the show during its early stages. His concept work reports that Ben Tennyson was originally going to have red hair, but was changed to brown to avoid confusion with Cartoon Network now-then mascot, Dexter. Gordon also has very early designs of the Omnitrix which really looks more like the watch than the final version, as well as diverse designs and names for the alien transformations. Some of the previous designs for the transformations were "StrongGuy", "Inferno", "RazorJaws", "Dragonfly", "Plantguy", and "Digger". Some of the early concepts for the aliens are more like aliens and superheroes, similar to Dial H for Hero. The show's theme song was written by Andy Sturmer and sung by Mz. Moxy. The main title was done by Renegade Animation, in flash. Kris Zimmerman (the ex-wife of Patric Zimmerman) became in charge of casting and was the voice director. Tara Strong (Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls) voices Ben Tennyson and some others, Meagan Smith voices Ben's cousin Gwen Tennyson, and some others, and Paul Eiding voices Grandpa Max, and his version of Upgrade. Plus, the others like Steve Blum, Dee Bradley Baker, Richard Wood, etc. joined the series. The show premiered on December 27, 2005 and ended on April 15, 2008.

Now that I see this as Cartoon Network's cash cow franchise, the show produced many movies, and three sequel series, but sadly, Ben 10 Omniverse didn't do too good, due to low ratings. (That's sad.) Until 2016, the series got a reboot. (Cool, isn't it.) I should however give the TV reboot 9.0, while IMDB gives it 2.6, Common Sense Media gives it 3, and TV.com gives it 8.5. The main character's transformations are Heatblast, Wildmutt, Diamondhead, XLR8, and more you can think of. Besides Ben 10 is Cartoon Network's best cash cow franchise ever, so you boys have to keep watching the series.

9. Just Stop: Robot Chicken

This show is based on the now defunct Twisted ToyFare Theater, a popular comic strip in the monthly magazine ToyFare. Originally, show was going to be called Junk in the Trunk, but was changed to Robot Chicken, which was named after a food on the menu, of the West Hollywood Chinese restaurant, Kung Pao Bistro, where Seth Green and Matt Senreich ate. Green and Senreich produced the show at Stoopid Buddy Studios, Williams Street, (Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law) and Sony Pictures Television. The series first appeared as Sweet J Presents on the Sony website screenblast.com in 2001. Seth MacFarlane (the Family Guy creator) voiced Conan O'Brien in the first episode of Sweet J. Sweet J ended after 12 episodes, and Robot Chicken got it's start on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on February 20, 2005. Some TV networks and sketch shows rejected Robot Chicken, including Comedy Central, MADtv, Saturday Night Live, and Cartoon Network, but someone at Cartoon Network gave the pitch along to Adult Swim, during the same time MacFarlane told Green and Senreich to pitch the show to adult Swim. The show makes fun of pop culture, referencing toys, movies, television, games, fads, anime, and old TV programs, much in the same vein as Saturday Night Live. It handles stop motion animation of toys, action figures, claymation, and other various objects such as tongue depressors, Game of Life pegs, and popsicle sticks. One particular pattern involves the idea of wondrous characters being put in a more realistic world or situation (such as Mr. Potato Head selling his body, Mario having an impassioned conversation with Bowser, and The Joker from Batman having an innards problem). The show airs on TruTV and Fox's Adult Swim block in the United Kingdom, on Teletoon's Teletoon at NIGHT block in Canada, The Comedy Channel's Adult Swim block in Australia, 2x2's Adult Swim block in Russia, TNT Series' Adult Swim block in Germany, and the I.Sat Adult Swim block in Argentina (After the Adult Swim block was canceled from Cartoon Network Latin America in 2008). Many of the show's sketches from Sweet J were redone for Robot Chicken. The show lasted for eight seasons, and its currently at Season 9. The recurring sketches that are predominant include parodies of Disney shows and movies, Classic Nickelodeon shows, DC Comics, Peanuts, Scooby Doo, etc.

Now that I see all this, this show is a very bad show because it puts pop culture in a very terrible situation. It's STILL here for nine seasons, and it needs to REALLY stop. I see that the title has nothing to do with a robot chicken, and it's not an original Cartoon Network family show. It's a show that should stop, due to pop culture parodies upsetting some kids. You know, the Robot Chicken Has Been Cancelled sketches are pretending that Robot Chicken has been cancelled, but I REALLY want Robot Chicken to be cancelled for having a disregarded title, and for making fun of pop culture. However, there is another show that has the same people as this, it's nothing but...

Greg the Bunny
Yes, Greg the Bunny. Like Robot Chicken, it has Seth Green, Dan Milano, Drew Massey, and Victor Yerrid. The show doesn't make fun of pop culture, it has puppets, but not the stop motion kind, and it has other actors like Eugene Levy, Sarah Silverman, Bob Gunton, and Dina Waters. It ran from March 27, 2002 to August 8, 2002 and had two unaired episodes that appeared on DVD in October 19, 2004. It later returned in August 19, 2005 as a series of 12-minute shorts on IFC. The show was released on DVD via Fox and Shout! Factory. Come to think of this, Robot Chicken needs to end by having Greg the Bunny on the final episode, where he is puppeteered by Dan Milano, and have him host the intro and ending to the final episode of the show. Also the final sketch should parody the end of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life by having these characters... 

meet Death, but then kill them and send them to heaven, and see a whole mob of characters from every single previous Robot Chicken sketch, and have a Tony Bennett-lookalike perform "Christmas in Heaven", but then, Greg the Bunny turns off the TV offscreen (Greg the Bunny is not stop motion, but a hand puppet), and talks on "The End of the Show", and then is handed the real robot chicken.
However, Greg says his final words during the show before he eats, and then says "Where the h*ll are the pictures? Oh well, here we are. Here's the theme music. Goodnight.", then the theme from Greg the Bunny plays, showing the intro on TV, floating into space. Then the end music plays, but instead of "The Gonk" by Herbert Chappel, it has "The Galaxy Song" by Eric Idle, and we see a robot chicken floating into space during the song.

Here's one last thing I have to say to you in this topic about RC, if you like this show, watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIuao-yRP4s
By the way, Robot Chicken is really crispy chicken in a sweet and tangy sauce, served with broccoli, and is gluten free.

8. Keep Going: PAW Patrol

On August 12, 2013, Nick Jr. released a show on TV about a boy and his six patrol pups. It has good storytelling, fun adventures, and fantastic characters. The gang of seven has a group consisting of Ryder, a human being, Chase, a German Shepherd, Marshall, a Dalmatian, Rubble, a bulldog, Rocky, a mongrel, Zuma, a Labrador, and Skye, a cockapoo. For people and dogs everywhere, here are the fun facts you should know, German Shepherds are for the police, Dalmatians are for firefighters, bulldogs are for construction workers, mongrels are for garbage collectors, Labradors are for sailors, and Cockapoos are for pilots. This is all the information I have to tell you, but to tell you the truth, here is one man who created this show. It's...

Keith Chapman. Yes, Keith Chapman. He worked for the Jim Henson company a long time ago, before pursuing his career into advertising. He became an agency art director, during the early 1990s. He created Bob the Builder (left), acquired the intellectual property rights, and created a TV show based on his property. The deal saw him retain a share of the copyright and also a fair clause which sees his name on all merchandise related to Bob. The show, Bob the Builder was produced by Manchester's HOT Animation Studio, with Curtis Jobling's distinct character and world designs to help impel the character, and the show on to an international audience. The show became a humongous success, achieving around 1 billion pounds a sterling in international retail sales. Chapman decided to provide his shares of the profits in establishing his own television production and rights ownership company, Chapman Entertainment, starting his own idea that "the closer involvement of creative talent can get more of a property over the long term". Keith Chapman also created...  Fifi and the Flowertots, which launched on Channel 5 in the UK, which was also a smash hit. When Chapman marched into Spin Master Ltd., and drew the early designs of the PAW Patrol team under the beta title, Raffi and the Rescue Dogs.
The early design of the puppies
However, Spin Master decided to hire toy designers to expand the format further, after the concept was in place, and then they began designing the merchandise. Chapman's original pitch met on the idea of the six pups being rescued by Ryder before joining the team. However, the idea was dropped. Other beta names for Ryder were Raffi, Roddy, and Robbie before Spin Master decided to clinch on Ryder. In early 2012, Spin Master was looking for TV broadcasters, until they found Nickelodeon, and the network first announced that it took up PAW Patrol at the 2013 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Once it was released, the show became the first solely-owned intellectual property in August 2013. The animation for the show was maintained by Guru Studio, since it had began production. The Canadian rock band, Voodoo Highway Music and Post composed the rock-inspired score, and Scott Simons performed the vocals for the intro and ending songs.

However, this is the only show on this list that should keep going, so the rest of the shows on the list are franchises. Now that the series is running season 5, season 6 will be finished. Then, more seasons will come after this. Now that this is a new Nickelodeon era. Since things are just great it is Nick Jr's new icon, thank goodness for Viacom and Spin Master's partnership. Since everything is good, there is one show that should not come back, and that is...

Dora the Explorer. It was a show created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner that taught kids Spanish. It had its first season starting from The Big Red Chicken to Call Me Mr. Riddles. Then seven more seasons followed along, and Go Diego Go and Dora's Explorer Girls were it's spinoffs. The good stuff is that its final episode Dora's Super Soccer Showdown ended the show with a bang, the bad news is James Bobin, the man who directed both Muppets movies and Alice Through the Looking Glass for Disney has plans for a live action adaptation of Nick Jr's former icon, which will be released August 9, 2019, so you need to tell him to cancel that movie, or it's Dora all over again. So please tell the Mr. Bobin "No more-a Dora!" Enough about that. The truth is that Spin Master should keep spending a striking good deal with Viacom.

Also, there's another Spin Master show called Rusty Rivets, so watch the show on Nick Jr.

7. Just Stop: Steven Universe

In 2013, Cartoon Network commissioned some people to make new shows, and Rebecca Sugar was one of them. She created a cartoon with LGBTQ themes, and its name was Steven Universe. (Now that I really mean it, Rebecca Sugar became the first sole woman to created a Cartoon Network show) The show centered on a half human/ half gem, Steven, a human being who grows up and moves on in a fictitious town of Beach City, with his father Greg. However, he is trained by female-only aliens, the crystal gems. (The left being Pearl, the center being Amethyst, and the right being Garnet) The show started with the first episode, Gem Glow, an episode where Steven wants one of his favorite ice cream sandwiches. Thus, the show lasted for five seasons.

What I have heard in Comicon '18, that there's an upcoming TV movie called, Steven Universe: The Movie, which is going to have White Diamond as the main villain, and it is going to have MORE gay themes. Also there's a new episode, Legs Here to Homeworld coming later this year, and I really don't want this show to keep going on forever, I want it to come to an end. So, what my opinion is for Becky is that I want her to have Steven Universe: The Movie to be the finale for this show, and the reason for this is I have to tell her "Make it stop. Please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please make it stop.". Now that this is out of the way, Deedee Magno Hall, the one who voiced Pearl is part of a musical group, and they are...

The Party, a 90's musical pop group that debuted on The All New Mickey Mouse Club from 1989 to 1991, and have released the following singles, "I Found Love" and "That's Why". In 1990, the Disney Channel assembled a pop band composed of the then-current cast members of the 1989-1994 Mickey Mouse Club (or the MMC for short). As part of the promotion for the band, a contest for name-the-band was held. "Positive Attitude Reflecting Today's Youth", backronymed "The Party" was a result. The group was also the first signing to Hollywood Records, the Walt Disney Company's pop-music-oriented label, which was at the time distributed by Elektra Records. Albert Fields recorded his first solo album "Back to Reality", Chase Hampton starred on The X-Files, Damon Pampolina worked at a real estate, and Tiffini Hale retired from the group, thus she never did voice a Crystal Gem on this show I'm talking about. Since now this has been set aside, Steven Universe needs to end because I do not want this to go on forever, but you can watch another Cartoon Network show solely created by a woman. It's called Summer Camp Island. It's a show about an elephant named Oscar, and a hedgehog named Hedgehog who are dropped off to a magical summer camp. There are many extraordinary occurrences such as counselors who are popular girl witches, horses that turn into unicorns, talking sharks, yetis, etc. It's not created by Rebecca Sugar, but Julia Pott, it's a pretty good show, and its spiritual predecessor is Camp Laszlo by Rocko's Modern Life creator Joe Murray. So, watch it on Cartoon Network. (Besides as I said, men and women should be equal.)

6. Keep Going: Peanuts

In the decade of WWII, a weekly panel comic strip called Li'l Folks appeared in Charles M. Schulz's weekly paper, the St. Pioneer Press, from 1947 to 1950. It introduced two characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy. In 1948, Schulz sold the cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post, which published 17 of his single-panel cartoons. The first of these was Charlie Brown. In early 1950, Li'l Folks was dropped from newspapers due to confusion with Al Kapp's Li'l Abner, but however, Schulz went to United Features Syndicate and named his new comic strip Peanuts, after the Peanut Gallery, from the old TV show, Howdy Doody. Schulz did not like the name Peanuts, despite the fact it was totally ridiculous, had no meaning, had no dignity, and was simply confusing. The periodic collections of the strips in the form of paperback commonly had either "Charlie Brown" or "Snoopy in the title, not "Peanuts" , because of Schulz' disgust for it. From November 20, 1966 to January 4, 1987, the openings for Sunday panels exemplarily read Peanuts, featuring Good Ol' Charlie Brown.

The first strip premiered on October 2, 1950. It began as a daily strip, and had Charlie Brown, Patty and Shermy. Shermy eulogizes Charlie Brown as he walks by, and then he tells Patty on how he hates him. This was innovative, and then rarely had children disclosed hate for others in comic strips. Snoopy made his debut in October 4, 1950, where he was walking on the street carrying a flower, until a little girl waters the flower, making it droop. The comic's first Sunday strip appeared January 6, 1952, in the half-page format, which was the only full format for the entire life of the Sunday strip. Most of the other characters sooner or later became main characters of the strip didn't appear until later: Violet and Schroeder first appeared in 1951, the first two Van Pelt kids first appeared in 1952, Pig-Pen first appeared in 1954. Sally Brown first appeared in 1959, Frieda first appeared in 1961, "Peppermint" Patty first appeared in 1966, the unnamed yellow bird first appeared in 1967, and then was name Woodstockin 1970, Franklin first appeared in 1968, Marcie first appeared in 1971, and Rerun Van Pelt first appeared in 1973. The 1960s came, becoming known as the "golden age" of Peanuts. During the time some of the well-recognized themes and characters appeared, especially Peppermint Patty, Snoopy as the "WWI Flying Ace", Frieda and her "natural curly hair", and Franklin. Peanuts is impressive for its deft social commentary, especially with the other strips during the 1950s and early 1960s. Schulz didn't correctly address racial and gender equality issues so much assume them to be unquestionable Peppermint Patty's athletic skill and self-assurance is simply taken for granted, for instance, as if Franklin's existence is in a racially integrated school and neighborhood. Schulz threw mordant quills at any number of topics whenever he chose. Over the years he embarked upon everything including the Vietnam War, to school dress codes, to new math. In 1963, he added the new character, "5" to the cast, whose sisters are named "3" and "4", and had a father who changed their family name to their zip code, surrendering to the way numbers were reinstating people's identities. The first animated Peanuts special was A Charlie Brown Christmas, which involves Linus getting an aluminum Christmas tree, and Snoopy trying to decorate his doghouse for Christmas. The special was a D-Rank with 45% of those watching television in the evening, the number of homes watching the special an appraised 15,490,000, placing No. 2 behind Bonanza on NBC. The New York Post claimed the "very neat transition from comic to screen", while the New York World Telegram acclaimed the scene in which Linus recites scripture, disclosing "Linus' reading of the story of the Nativity was, quite simply, the dramatic highlight of the season.", and the San Francisco Chronicle wrote "Charlie Brown was a gem of a television show." Later on, Peanuts got more specials, continuing to this day. In the mid 1970s, the panel format was slightly shortened horizontally, and shortly thereafter the lettering became larger to satisfy. Previously, the daily Peanuts strips were formatted in a four-panel format that had "space saving" beginning in the 1950's with a few eight panel strips, that were very rare and still fit into the four panel mode. Beginning in Leap Day '88, Schulz vacated the four-panel format in favor of three-panel dailies and seldom used the entire length of the strip as one panel, slightly for experimentation, but also to combat the shrinking size of the comics page. Later in the '90's, Schulz got rid of the original Patty, the other black-haired girl, Violet, the dirty Pig-Pen, and the black Franklin. The franchise had four movies through the '70's and '80's,  A Boy Named Charlie Brown, Snoopy Come Home, Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown, and Bon Voyage Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back). In the '80's and '90's, the strip remained the most popular comic in history, rivaling with Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes in popularity. Schulz continued to write the strip, until his retirement on December 14, 1999, due to his health failing.

On February 13, 2000, the day after Schulz' death, the final strip was put on papers. Three panels long, it began with Charlie Brown answering the phone with someone at the other end seemingly asking for Snoopy. Charlie answered "No, I think he's writing." The next panel shows Snoopy sitting at his typewriter with the opening of the letter dispatched to "Dear Friends". The final panel features a large sky blue background over with several illustrations from past strips are placed. Nether those drawings is a colorized version of Schulz' January 3 strip with a letter that reads. Thus, this is the final Peanuts strip.

Now that Peanuts has ended, and is now on reruns, the franchise should keep going. Six specials, A Charlie Brown Valentine, Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales, Linus Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown, I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown, He's A Bully, Charlie Brown, and Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown aired on prime time television. The Metlife commercials aired from 1984 to 2016, leaving Fred and Barney from The Flintstones still appearing on boxes of Pebbles cereal to this day, while the video distribution for Peanuts has gone from Kartes Video Corp to Hi Tops Video to Paramount Home Video to Warner Home Video. On June 3, 2010, United Media sold all of its Peanuts content to the new company to Peanuts Worldwide LLC, a joint venture of the Iconix Group (which owned 80% and its soon to co-own Pokémon (another cartoon franchise that should keep going) with Nintendo) and Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates (20%). In inclusion, United Media sold its licensing arm, which represents licensing for its other properties to Peanuts Worldwide. The syndication to the strip was continued by United Feature Syndicate, until  February 27, 2007, when Universal Uclick took over syndication, ending United Media's sixty-plus-years management of Peanuts.

In 2015, Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios released The Peanuts Movie, which got great reviews and became the highest grossing G-rated movie of 2015. (Mind you, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron got the E10+ rating due to violence) Speaking of G-rated movies, they are fading to black, while Hollywood and Burbank are making kids' movies more adult-friendly, and that's not good. The other highest grossing G-rated movies however, are good, like the original Toy Story trilogy, the Cars trilogy, the big four Disney Renaissance movies, The Polar Express, A Beautiful Planet, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Hercules, The Princess and the Frog, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, A Bug's Life, Chicken Run, Rio 2, The Santa Clause 2, Chicken Little, Monsters University, and a remake of 101 Dalmatians. The main cause was Jeffrey Katzenberg tricking everyone into seeing Shrek 2, a PG-rated movie. In fact, all other ratings are disappearing for the PG-13 rating to dominate all further movies. So whatever we do, we should beg for more G-rated movies, especially for a forthcoming The Sixth Peanuts Movie, and get other ratings to be equal with PG-13. Anyways, back to Peanuts. In May 2017, DHX Media (The guys who own the DiC catalog) announced to buy Iconix, including 80% of Peanuts and the whole rights to Strawberry Shortcake, for $345 million. DHX officially took authority of the properties on June 30, 2017. On May 13, 2018, DHX reached an important agreement for Sony Music Entertainment Japan to buy 49% of 80% stake of Peanuts for $185 million, with DHX holding a 41% stake, and Sony Music owning 39%. (Sony Music's consumer products division has been a licensing agent of Peanuts since 2010) The deal was completed on July 23. Things are looking pretty darn good! By the way, here's a picture that will excite you.

Charlie Brown has made a cameo on My Life As A Teenage Robot.

5. Keep Going: Scooby Doo

In the late 1960's, CBS and Hanna-Barbera wanted to create a kid-friendly Saturday morning program that wasn't violent that would placate the parent watch groups that hated superhero-based programs of the mid-1960s. Two men, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created a new show called Mysteries Five, which was later titled Who's S-S-Scared?, and then was titled Scooby Doo Where Are You!. The show has gone through a number of changes from script to screen (the most meaningful being the whitewashed of the music group borrowed from The Archie Show). However, the basic concept of four teenagers from left to right (Fred, Velma, Shaggy, Daphne) and a cowardly, clumsy Great Dane (Scooby Doo) solving supernatural-related mysteries was always in its place. The show did so great, similar concepts like Josie and the Pussycats, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, The Funky Phantom, Speed Buggy, Jeannie, Jabberjaw, The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, Inch High Private Eye, Goober and the Ghost Chasers, Clue Club, Captain Caveman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, and The New Shmoo followed along. The next show after Where Are You! was The New Scooby Doo Movies which had famous stars like The Three Stooges, Batman and Robin, The Addams Family, Jonathan Winters, Don Knotts, Phyllis Diller, Sandy Duncan, Sonny and Cher, Laurel and Hardy, The Harlem Globetrotters, Davy Jones of the Monkees, Jerry Reed, the cast of Josie and the Pussycats, the cast of Jeannie, Tim Conway, Don Adams, the cast of Speed Buggy, Mama Cass, and Dick Van Dyke. The show was great as the last one. The new character who joined the cast was Scrappy Doo. He was the nephew of Scooby Doo, and the son of Ruby Doo. He wanted to fight monsters, but was dragged away by Scooby. His two catchphrases were "Let me at em'! Let me at em'! I'll splat em', and rock em', and sock em'!" and "Da dadada da daaa! Puppy power!" He is also strong and capable of smashing down walls, and carrying Shaggy and Scoob over his head without any effort. Joe Barbera created the character, and he was based off of the Looney Tunes character, Henery Hawk. However, for years, they did not like him due to his annoyance, his disrespectful attitude, and the way he ruined the Scooby Doo series, Hanna-Barbera threw him away in 1989. In 1988, Hanna-Barbera created A Pup Named Scooby Doo, a show about the Scooby Gang when they were little kids. (A show that follows The Flintstones Kids, Muppet Babies, and Tom and Jerry Kids fashion.) It had Scooby Doo as a puppy, Shaggy still a little scrawny, Fred who is the blockheaded leader, Daphne who is rich, egotistic, and sardonic, and Velma who is smart, but very shy. The show lasted for four seasons, 27 episodes, and 30 segments, and was Don Messick's last show in the franchise to voice Scooby Doo. Three years later, Hanna Barbera released the TV special, Scooby Doo's Arabian Nights, which had Shaggy and Scooby take a part-time job in the Middle East as royal taste testers, and tell stories about Aliyah-Din and the Magic Lamp, with Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo as genies, and Sinbad the Sailor with Magilla Gorilla as the title character. Years after that, Scooby Doo was on hiatus, until 1998, Scooby Doo Zombie Island was released, and three movies followed in the next years. In 2002, a live action Scooby Doo was released in theaters, which grossed $275.7 million.

Now that in 2002, What's New Scooby Doo? hit television, all further Scooby Doo movies and TV shows are still going strong without fail. The next Scooby Doo show, Scooby Doo and Guess Who? will have new celebrities teaming up with Scooby Gang, like Steve Urkel, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Chris Paul, etc. Also, a new Scooby Doo movie is heading for May 15, 2020, so stay tuned. Things should go really great, like Scooby and Shaggy going for more snacks, Fred leading the bunch, Velma researching in books, and Daphne being the chick, and for this more supernatural mysteries should be solved. Until next time, Scooby Doo!

4. Just Stop: SpongeBob SquarePants

In the late 1990s, a marine biologist, Stephen Hillenburg was interested in creating a TV series based on the comic book series, The Intertidal Zone. Hillenburg liked the idea, and inspired his new series inspired from Ren and Stimpy, Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Jerry Lewis, and Paul Reubens. The first characters for the show were an unnamed sponge, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Pearl the Whale. The unnamed sponge was named "Spongeboy", and then Hillenburg titled his series, Spongeboy Ahoy!. But however, "SpongeBoy" was already in use for a mop product, so it was changed to "Spongebob", which led to the final name Spongebob Squarepants. (Hillenburg kept the word, "sponge" not to have viewers mistake the character for "Cheese Man".) In 1997, the pilot episode Help Wanted was written, with Tom Kenny as the voice for Spongebob. The pilot involved Spongebob getting a job at the Krusty Krab. The pilot was so successful, it led to a TV show in 1999, starting with Reef Blower. The show won the Golden Reel Awards for best sound editing, with three of the episodes consisting of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, Pickles, and Karate Choppers. In the Washington Post, Michael Cavna ranked Help Wanted No. 3 at his The Top Five SpongeBob Episodes: We Pick Em' list. The show lasted for two more seasons, until The Spongebob Squarepants Movie successfully hit theaters, grossing $140.2 million.

The year after 2004, many Spongebob fansites became deserted, leaving Spongebob's quality to decline, as the show aired for ten more years.  The Sponge Out Of Water hit theaters on February 6, 2015, grossing $325.2 million dollars. (It used CGI in the live action world, but can't Space Jam 2/More Space Jam use a combination of live action and 2D animation, so the lost villain, Berzerk-o be the main villain, and the Nerdlucks (formerly alias the Monstars) can stay good and never steal talent again?) Since now that Dora the Explorer's gone as good, like I mentioned four articles ago, I do not want it to come back. So, like Dora, Spongebob needs to go too, and the final movie in the trilogy, It's Wonderful Sponge should gut the Spongebob franchise for good getting replaced by nothing but...

The Loud House
Yes, The Loud House. It's a show about a young boy named Lincoln, or Link for short, who lives with 10 sisters, a dog, a cat, a bird, and a hamster. It's created by a man named Chris Savino, who's taking a one-year suspension from the animation guild. This show has gay themes, yes, lots of gay themes, and they are the coolest. However, there is a movie coming in 2020, and a spinoff titled, Los Casagrandes. They are pretty cool, you have got to look FORWARD to them, and they has lots of excitement, indeed. Since it's predecessor, Spongebob needs to stop, the movie adaptation of Dora the Explorer needs to get cancelled too, so PAW Patrol can continue. (The Spongebob/Dora era is over, now here comes the Loud House/PAW Patrol era.) One more thing, Steve Hillenburg is dead.

3. Just Stop: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

In the late 2000's, Mrs. Craig McCracken, a. k. a. Lauren Faust wanted to develop her girls' toy property Galaxy Girls into an animated series. Faust, who used to work on the next article I'll talk about next, and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, had tried to pitch original animation aimed for girls for years, but was always rejected by studios and networks by studios and networks, because they thought cartoons for girls were considered ineffective. When she tried to pitch to Lisa Licht of Hasbro Studios, Licht showed her My Little Pony: Princess Promenade, "completely in progress" Licht considered Faust's style was relevant to that line and asked her to examine some ideas to take a new direction to the franchise. Faust then provided Hasbro with more of her ideas for the show, as she was inspired by their absolute response to the non-traditional elements. Faust then initially pitched the show to include "adventure stories" in same expanse to "relationship stories", but distinguishing the young target audience, as well as the difficulty of basic motley plots on the adventure elements, she cut back this content, focusing more on commences between the characters. The show still included dragons, monsters, hydras, manticores, wolves, demons, etc., but it places more priority on the friendship around characters, displayed with a funny tone. By the time the show was applauded, Faust developed the full scripts for the series. Faust and Hasbro took the animation studio, Studio B, a subsidiary of DHX Media (The same company that bought 80% of Peanuts). Faust approved of the animation studio that previously worked on animations of shows that featured a big number of animals. Faust then teamed up with Jay Thiessen and James Wootton to created a pilot for Hasbro, which was then successful. On October 10, 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic hit the airwaves with the episode of the same name after the My Little Pony title. The first season aired with a total of 26 episodes, and then after that, 39 episodes (seasons 2 and 3) followed along.

5 new seasons and a movie kept entertaining more people, but right now, the show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic should come to an end. Because I have had it up to here with Bronies, they love MLPFiM, they make ponies out of every other character, and they're continuing with every single pony nonstop. What needs to happen, is that Hasbro needs to end MLPFiM, because we have seen every previous pony incarnation such as My Little Pony and My Little Pony Tales have ended. When this incarnation ends, a new MLP incarnation should appear in about 5, 10, or 20 years. (That's years away from now.) You know, I have heard that Nick and Cartoon Network rarely get female protagonist centered show because of this. Speaking of that, Nickelodeon was planning an upcoming Nicktoon about espionage, but it was rejected in favor of Fanboy and Chum-Chum. So let me get this straight, it is...

 The Modifyers, a cartoon pilot that Chris Reccardi and Lynn Naylor pitched to Nickelodeon, but was rejected due to failures of the final seasons of The Wild Thornberrys, As Told By Ginger, and obviously, My Life As A Teenage Robot. The unfinished show revolved around Agent Xero and her sidekick, Mole (A shapeshifting robot) fighting against the evil Baron Vain. I know a strong fan following has flourished around with hopes that it will be another female-led Nicktoon, but there's one last thing I have to say on this article, "PLEASE TELL NICK AND CARTOON NETWORK TO STOP REJECTING EVERY FEMALE LEAD CARTOONS DUE TO FAILURES BECAUSE THERE WAS A SUCCESSFUL DISNEY AFTERNOON SHOW WITH THREE SEASONS CALLED THE LITTLE MERMAID. IN FACT, YOU SHOULD OPEN UP TO FEMALE LEAD CARTOONS, PLEASE!!!" Since now I have finished off this article about a show created by Lauren Faust, here is a franchise created by her husband, Craig MacCracken, it is...

2. Keep Going: The Powerpuff Girls

The blog of PPG Center, home to shows from Disney Afternoon, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and other stuff, especially The Powerpuff Girls. In the early 1990's a man named Craig MacCracken created a series based on the character "No Neck Joe". In June 1991, he drew a picture of three girls on a sheet of orange construction paper as a birthday card for his brother. He wanted to create a series of shorts called Whoopass Stew, but as it turned out, he finished one short called A Sticky Situation, which hit Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation in 1994. In the same year he created Whoopass Stew, Cartoon Network picked up the series, but did not want the word "Whoopass" in the title, just because "ass" was in the title. But then, the new title The Powerpuff Girls was born so a child audience can esteem the series. In 1995, Craig McCracken released two PPG shorts, Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins and Crime 101 on Cartoon Network's What-A-Cartoon Show. Dexter's Laboratory creator, Gennedy Tartakovsky directed the the shorts, which were very successful, but not as popular as Dexter's Laboratory, a project that Tartakovsky and McCracken worked on as most popular of the shorts, and then was greenlit by Cartoon Network. The show made its debut on November 18, 1998, and became the highest rated show on the network. By the end of 2000, books T-shirts, rings, toys, video games, and more. In 2002, The Powerpuff Girls movie was produced by Warner Bros. (Space Jam, The Iron Giant, Looney Tunes Back In Action), but has underperformed, killing all further Cartoon Network theatrical movies, after this, Craig McCracken had to end the show in two seasons, by saying "The show's over, it had it's run.", and then replacing it with his second creation, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, which ran the same number as this show I'm talking about. Two years later, Cartoon Network teamed up with Toei Animation and released the anime, They're Here! Powerpuff Girls Z, which aired 52 episodes. In the late 2000's, Cartoon Network released a 10th anniversary special called The Powerpuff Girls Rule!, which brought the original show, 4 years later, back on Cartoon Network, but no new episodes. One year later, Cartoon Network team up with the British studio, Passion Pictures to animated the computer animated special, Dance Pantsed, which got poor reviews.


Cor blimey! (I can't believe they did that!)
However, Cartoon Network built a better mousetrap by announcing a new TV reboot, and hiring Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle to redo the series. The original voice actresses, Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily were replaced by Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides, despite the fact Cartoon Network had nothing with Cavadini, Stong (maiden name, Charendoff), and Daily. The show hit the airwaves on April 4, 2016 which got mixed-to-negative reviews and it has got a Teen Titans Go! crossover special, which received 2.42 million viewers. By and by, after fans were wondering what new PPG should join the group, Bliss was the answer.

This is Bliss
Bliss is sort-of an African-American PPG, who has blue hair, and is 8 years older than the three, and has appeared in The Power of Four. However, there are three more unofficial PPG's that tried to join the three, but were kicked out. One was Princess, but she is a natural human, and is very bratty, the other was Bunny, but she was overgrown and didn't last very long, and the last was Bellicose or "Bell" for short, but she is a Shadowpuff, not a Powerpuff like the three.

According to the other blog, Tomb of a Cartoon Monkey, it said PPG is going to come to an end, but to straighten it out, here is my Last Will and Testament for 2016 PPG's in order to keep the franchise alive.

1. No more memes
There were so many memes all over the internet, that fans were hating them, but for a change, they should get replaced by references to movies and TV shows from 1960 to 2001, just to be a little bit better, like Professor Utonium acting like Homer Simpson, the PPG's behaving like the main trios from Rocko's Modern Life and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, the same trio solving mysteries like the Scooby Gang, etc. This is what I want instead of the memes.

2. The original voice actresses of the PPGs may need to come back
Whenever a voice actor/actress may need to retire, they need to get replaced by new ones. Amanda Leighton replaced Cathy Cavadini, Kristen Li replaced Tara Strong, and Natalie Palamides replaced Elizabeth Daily. To get the original voice actresses back, we need to get to thinking. For Blossom, it would be either Cathy Cavadini, the original Jennifer Fried, or Tara Strong, the woman who voiced Twilight Sparkle, despite Blossom and Twilight have similar personalities. For Bubbles, it won't be anybody but Tara Strong, since it would be just like returning Robin Williams as the voice for the Genie in Aladdin, also Kath E Soucie was the the voice for Bubbles in The What-A-Cartoon Show, but they didn't like it, so Tara Strong is Bubbles, and Kath Soucie is Lola Bunny, Bugs Bunny's girlfriend. And as for Buttercup, it would either be Elizabeth Daily or Pam Adlon, despite the fact they both voiced the Humongous Entertainment character, Pajama Sam. (Also, Adlon voiced Bobby Hill on King of the Hill on FOX.)

 3. Ms. Bellum needs to come back
Cartoon Network has rejected Ms. Bellum out of 2016 PPG, thinking she's not age appropriate, but you could start a petition to bring her back, just like bringing back Figment the dragon to the Journey Into Imagination ride to Epcot in Walt Disney World. Although we never see her face, it was finally shown in The Powerpuff Girls Rule! It's just like not like showing Mom and Dad's face in Cow and Chicken, but in some point, their faces are shown.

4. The animation errors need to be removed
When you see the goofs in animation, you see wrong things, but when you look back at that, all glitches need to be fixed. For example, Buttercup's cutout needs to be filled in, the boxes need to look the same, not different, the eyelid glitch needs to be fixed, the PPG's side view needs look like the 1998 version,  the typos for "destruct" and "achievement" need to be fixed, and Buttercup's body needs to be drawn in for the snowboard scene.

5. Make Buttercup a lesbian
Although Buttercup did not like kissing Butch in the episode, The Rowdyruff Boys, in some fanarts, some people made Buttercup a lesbian. Thus, someone on Deviantart got mad just because he wants Buttercup to date a man, but not really, Buttercup needs to date a WOMAN! Although you want Blossom to be with Dexter, and Bubbles to be with Boomer (Thus he should reform), Buttercup needs to find a significant other her own gender. I know you had a controversy with the episode, Horn Sweet Horn, The Last Donnycorn should rerun on television, so things can only get better.

6. The fights need the same punch again
I know he same fights are not like they used to. However, the PPG's punches need to be strong again for muscle-bound violence. The new episode I should predict should be Invasion of the Powerpuff Snatchers, (a remake of the Bugs Bunny cartoon, Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers) where the PPG's are fighting the same villains as usual (Mojo Jojo should take Elmer Fudd's role, Fuzzy Lumpkins should take Yosemite Sam's role, and Princess Morbucks should take Daffy Duck's role), until then, they discover strange looking peapods, after every villain fight, the next day, the girls find out that their enemies have been replaced by the "pale-stereotype" versions of themselves. That's a pretty good episode for the PPG's. (Who would've thought of that, huh?)

One more thing, Tom Kenny's character, the narrator must make a comeback saying "The City of Townsville" at every single beginning of a PPG episode, that would be just like the good ol' days. Now that all of this settled, here is the last thing I have to say. The article is finished, thanks to PPG Center!

Honorable Mentions

Before I get to number one, here are some three honorable mentions that I'm not quite sure of... On the left is The Simpsons, a show that started as shorts of The Tracy Ullman Show, and then got a TV show in the 1990s. One thing about The Simpsons I'd like to stop are the dangerous future predictions. You know, the ones that came true are a dangerous terrorist attack, Toys  R Us going out of business, even a faulty voting machine. With a safe prediction coming true, like 3D projection, it would come true. In the middle is Teen Titans Go! a TV reboot to Teen Titans. I know some of you who watch that show, keep watching, but some of you who don't like it, watch reruns of all the Nicktoons from the '90s. It depends on what you like and don't like about TTG, but whether it continues or ends, it's all right with me. And the one the right is South Park, a show based on a Christmas card Trey Parker and Matt Stone were planning. I'm not too sure whether South Park should keep going or come to an end, but it has been an icon to Comedy Central for 20 years. Since my mentions were finished, the number one cartoon on the list is...

1. Keep Going: Mickey Mouse

Hiya folks, ever read this article? It's all about Mickey Mouse. He made his debut in the 1928 short, Plane Crazy, a short animated film, which was used for test screening, but failed to pick up. However, he has later appeared in the first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, which brought audiences to look at the rodent, the audience was pleased. In the late 1920's, friends of Walt Disney did not want the same old Mickey, they wanted something new, like Silly Symphonies, which got its start on August 22, 1929, starting with The Skeleton Dance. When Mickey debuted along with Minnie in his short animated film, more characters alongside made their debut, Pluto first appeared in The Chain Gang in 1930, Goofy first appeared in Mickey's Revue in 1932, Donald Duck first appeared in the Silly Symphony, The Wise Little Hen in 1934, and Daisy Duck first appeared in Don Donald in 1937, the same year the first animated Disney feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs hit the big screen. In the middle of the 1930s, Mickey Mouse hit full color in The Band Concert, but never received an Academy Award. As the years went by, new characters rolled along, like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Chip 'n' Dale, Spike the Bee, Ranger Audubon Woodlore, Humphrey the Bear, Ludwig Von Drake, and Scrooge McDuck, and during the 1940s, Mickey got his first oblong humanoid eyes in The Pointer, made his feature film debut in Fantasia, and Disney went into war. When WWII was over, The Mickey Mouse Club hit television, and Walt Disney's Disneyland told very fun information. In 1952, when The Simple Things hit the big screen, this was Mickey's final golden age cartoon. He has not been appearing anywhere in the 1960's, but in 1983, he returned to the big screen in Mickey's Christmas Carol. After a bit of success, Mickey's friends got spinoffs for the Disney Afternoon era such as DuckTales, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, and Goof Troop, while Quack Pack became the only Mickey spinoff in the One Saturday Morning era. During the OSM era, Mickey appeared in two shows, Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse, and had two Once Upon a Christmas movies. In 2006, he got his show on Playhouse Disney (Later, Disney Junior) called Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and in 11 years later, Mickey and the Roadster Racers. (Patton Oswald, the voice for Pixar's Remy the Rat, voiced Maynard McSnorter the pig on this show) Recently in 2013 when his final theatrical short, Get A Horse was released, he got his own TV series of his own name.

Now that Mickey should keep going, here are some other things at Disney you should know. Now that Disney bought 20th Century Fox (I wanted them to wait 'til 2025), they should own several movie and TV franchise, but definitely not Matt Groening's cartoons, because I think all of Groening's cartoons should go to Viacom, due to Futurama airing on Comedy Central, and Seth MacFarlane's catalog (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show) should go to Universal due to Ted being a movie produced by them. Now that Walt Disney Animation Studios has their current good luck charm, Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Ice Age, I Robot), Pixar's good luck charm, John Ratzenberger (Cheers, The Empire Strikes Back, Camp Cucamonga) should retire and get replaced by Bill Hader (Superbad, Tropic Thunder, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), but this time, in several films, the way the late David Ogen Stiers has been for Disney (John Ratzenberger has been in every single Pixar film since 1995, Alan Tudyk is in every single Disney animated film since 2012, and David Ogden Stiers was Disney's good luck charm of the 90s and 2000s, but appeared in several films. This will be just like the good old days). I was hoping Hader was going to be the new good luck charm for Pixar, but he appeared in the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, which threw off my idea. Now that my idea has been thrown off, it's time for a new good luck charm, but this time, not in a Disney canon film. According to the 2015-2040 Disney timeline, Disney will remove all of its shows from other streaming service competitors. Wrong, Disney will remove its shows and movies except for the Fox, Marvel, and Star Wars franchises from Netflix, just Netflix. I do not want Disney to buy Universal, Warner Bros., and Sony, because there'd be no more competition for studios. One more thing, Disney should not make any artificial life forms called Creamzoids, man-eating monsters that will live among us. Here are five more things about Mickey Mouse, he is one of the world's oldest mascots, his secondary friend is Oswald the Rabbit, he's rivals with Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker, he's as famous as the Mona Lisa, and he should not get replaced, whatsoever. See ya real soon!

So there you have it, that's seven cartoons that must stop, and eight cartoons that should keep going. That's all I have to tell you. So, what cartoon needs to stop or keep going? Let me know in the comments section. By the way, this webpage https://www.cbr.com/movie-series-that-should-end-or-continue/ has inspired me to create of cartoons like that, and has got me started on it, and let me show you who owns the properties, Family Guy, Greg the Bunny, The Peanuts Movie, and The Simpsons are copyright 20th Century Fox, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Fairly Odd Parents, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahh!!!
