Evan Green
You might as well ask "who was the best besides Betty Cohen?"
Cohen made the version of Cartoon Network that most people remember it by. Mediocre-to-good shows, buoyed by utterly brilliant scheduling that made even the worst of those shows fun as hell.
None of the successors have been even half as good.
Jeremiah Roberts
>DC Nation That doesn't count as an accomplishment seeing as he also killed it in its infancy.
Zachary Barnes
Cohen was the smartest. Samples arguably had the best lineup. Snyder was shit. Miller is too early to tell.
So it's between Cohen and Snyder, and it depends entirely on what your priorities are.
Robert Miller
Fuck me, I meant Cohen and Samples.
Connor Perez
This. She made just watching the channel fun the same way browsing a tumblr dash is fun. After her, it just became a bunch of shows where you tune in when something you like is on.
Josiah Williams
>Notable accomplishments: Not being Stuart Snyder That's a pretty good thing.
Samuel Gutierrez
>Shit >Shit >Okay >Shit >Shit >Shit >Good >Okay
that's anything but solid
Matthew Robinson
Could we get Christina Miller to fuck off already? She hasn't done anything worthwhile and likely never will. Cohen and Samples were the only ones who were able to make the shit in-between shows watchable so far. It's pathetic.
Lucas Diaz
Whoever was responsible for Courage. That is who has my vote.
Christopher Morales
Would anybody seriously not pick Betty or Samples? Like really
That's a bit harsh. Synder brought us CNreal. Miller's only sins are green lighting shitty reboots that she's doing because on paper it's a good move....
That is when the people making said reboots actually can deliver. >like most CEOs she probably never seen TTG or PPG16 before green lighting it
Dominic Ortiz
You guys are forgetting that Samples went senile in his last few years, a la Michael Eisner.
The shows that CN made in the mid-2000s seemed to be widely despised at the time.
Ryder Hughes
Give me a bio that's not for ants.
Alexander Collins
At least there were enough good shows still shown at that point that you could just ignore the shitty ones. Now Cartoon Network shows next to fucking nothing, even the bumps are shitty now.
Nolan Garcia
Camp Lazlo and Class of 3000 were nice though. The Puffy cartoon is okay and probably only watched because they did inserts for Teen Titans. youtube.com/watch?v=hoWynebkAtM
James Edwards
>Miller is too early to tell.
Two years is too early to tell?
Wyatt Miller
I think each President has contributed somethign to cn overall, like runs of a comic.
Cohen built it from the ground up, Samples gave us a lot of classics and great shows while expanding on Cochens base, and while Stuart did fuck up he did provide the core to the modern age of goat cartoons we enjoy on cn today. None were perfect but they all contributed something.
I personally like Samples the best, just because of the high quality work put out then.
Ryder Harris
She ran there merch department under Samples, so I wouldnt say that
Dominic Brown
Only Squirrel Boy and Gym Partner were the only seriously reviled ones
Also wasn't that era around when CN City was a thing? You can't fault that at all
Aiden Turner
>modern age of goat cartoons The vast majority of cartoons currently airing on CN are mediocre to okay though.
Brandon Reed
Thats a really retarded poll
Jonathan Flores
None of those shows are bad.
Lee, Squirrel Boy and Amiyumi were at worst mediocre
You would have to be delusional to say that there hasnt been a spine of cartoons starting with Chowder/Flapjack that branched out into Adventure Time/Regular Show and further on from there.
Most every widely hailed cartoon of this decade and a bit earlier came from that strand of creatives
Benjamin Long
>CN City >Cartoon Network Groovies >That line-up Even if it wasn't the best, the network was at its absolute comfiest when Samples was in charge.
William Reyes
Good premise, but I am not sure if folks can memorize them that well.
What we need is a chart showing every show sorted under Presidental term/year
I wish they would bring back some of those ideas and apply them to the new shows they have.
Jonathan Phillips
Even if they did, they'd never be able to get a god tier line-up of musicians like they did back then. There's also a chance they'd drop the 50's aesthetic from the city and go for something more modern, which would ruin the atmosphere. Not that I'm saying I don't want them to do it, I do. I just want it done well.
Asher Mitchell
nice dubs, ben 10, camp lazlo, andre 3k, and hi hi were bretty good
but i totally forgot about MGPAM and Squirrel Boy lol
Grayson Hill
The only thing I can remember about Squirrel Boy is that episode where the squirrel could sing some viking (pirate?) song really well, but couldn't sing anything else for no fucking reason.
Caleb Reed
He also thought there were too many cartoons on Cartoon Network.
Parker King
CN City should've got its own show.
Alexander Sullivan
I don't see why CN city and Yes are separate on this poll. They were almost the exact same thing (show-wise) except Yes era added trippy colors to the "up next" bumpers.
Josiah Cox
Wasn't Squirrel Boy the Johnny Test/TTG of it's day when it basically played all the time?
Dylan Watson
>All those people voting for Checkerboard (92-97) >When powerhouse (97-2004) was clearly better Either we have some oldfags here, or the voters are mistaking the Checkerboard era for the Powerhouse era (since CN's logo was "checkerboard"-y during both eras).
William Gonzalez
That's a fair counterpoint.
Elijah Russell
>Samples had to retire because people were 9/11 fear-mongering I can't tell who was more stupid in this case.
Daniel Martinez
>CN City should've got its own MMORPG
Wyatt Rodriguez
It did though. I'm still waiting for the remake to come out. Game wasn't half as comfy as the bumps though. Now that I mention them, I really wish I had HD pictures of the city.
Ryan Butler
On second thought, fuck that poll. Don't vote on it.
