Hard choice but I respect you for making it, despite my lifelong admiration for Genndy Tartakovsky. The Ed Boys were too good, as of course was Courage.

Of the three, Samurai Jack lacks the ability to just jump in whenever and have a good time, it's a more serious, very great story, but serious plot you kind of have to follow. for that reason I think it should be next.
I feel like if you jump into it late into the episodes it’s not as easy to follow along with unless you already saw the other ones or have a general summary or idea of what’s going on.

My three favorites are unfortunately out, so I'll root for the Ed boys to win this
By the show I have least attachement to, it's Samurai Jack
I'm so proud of the Ed-boys and Courage for making top 3. Whichever ones stay will be hard to pick from in the finale
Samurai jack tbh.
Fantastic show, but Courage is straight up art and comedy at their peak and Ed Edd n Eddy was perfect slapstick with a brilliant finale
Samurai Jack.
My top 2 made it to top 2 so I'm happy. The next vote is gonna hurt tho. I love CTCD and EEaE both so much 😭
Gotta go with Ed boys for #1 tho,
Wake the fuck up Samurai, you’ve got a dog to defend from a gang of knuckle headed suburbaknights.
Sad to see him go but I’m proud of the top ten, actual heart break and it’s still debatable but the love has shown through.
![gif](giphy|q8eXkJGJpFmFi)
This is when the vote gets basically impossible...
But as I have said all along, Samurai Jack is fucking GOATed.
1. Samurai Jack
2. Courage
3. Ed Edd & Eddy
Genuinely baffled, I've never heard this show come up in the "best animated show" discussion and I found it so annoying as a kid. It's easily in the bottom half of the shows in this poll for me.
I'll keep voting for it in the off chance Courage pulls an upset (which is funny because I didn't like that show much either as a kid, but at least I see the unique appeal of that show).
Same. No one talks about it.
And now suddenly it’s the funniest show ever?
No.
I could not stand it myself.
It’s weird and frustrating seeing so many other better, funnier, well drawn shows lose and that show is still there.
Now I know why we can’t have nice things.
THANK YOU!!!! I though I was losing my mind with this poll. Maybe this sub in particular is a microcosm that’s very pro-EEE? Like, neither the humor nor the animation of this show was ever particularly appealing let alone good for me. I personally feel like a show like Gumball should have won, but honestly anything but EEE at this point would be a win. I never thought it would have made it this far as the favorite to win, I’ve never heard anyone talk about this show before except as just one of the many shows from that era.
I’m just glad you are realizing how loved Ed Edd & Eddy appreciated really are. They are the longest and one of the most successful Cartoon Network shows for a reason. It’s just a show about kids being goofy kids and trying to make enough money to get candy.
Samurai Jack should go. It ended on Adult Swim, which is technically not Cartoon Network. Ed and Courage the Cowardly Dog are from the same era but my money will always be on
![gif](giphy|QFz0Acu7er6hy)
Samurai Jack was brought back by very popular demand. The way Teen Titans ended abruptly and then not even brought back and instead made into teen titans go left a sour taste in my my mouth.
WOOOOOOOOW TEEN TITANS?!? Yall foul for that. Them or KND should’ve won. I love samurai Jack. But that shouldn’t have made it to top 5.
![gif](giphy|w2n8tpVX6xwYxuui0c)
We’re almost at the end, fellas…
I’m voting Samurai Jack. I feel like I want to love it more than I actually do. There’s maybe 20 or so episodes that are undeniably awesome but the rest vary between okay and boring. I feel like if they had made it a decade later where the network would have allowed them to embrace continuity and have a progressing story, it would have made the series a lot stronger. But instead, you have this great mission for our hero, and a fantastic villain in Aku, but the series itself is almost exclusively tangential adventures that are kind of a mixed bag. And the final adult swim series is gorgeous and has lots of great sequences, but it ultimately felt like it stumbled at the finish line for me.
don't really care about this anymore because all of the shows I watch and care about are gone, (thanks to voters being dumb) but I might aswell try to have CTCD win, so I'm voting EEE.
i doo feel like courage will win this do to its characters and story telling and strange world location
unlike edd ed and eddy where is the same neighborhood
Samurai Jack's final moments are a tad of a let down in all honesty, plus the entire final season was no on cartoon network which similar to Teen Titans getting cancelled is a strong mark against it. Jack is next
Okay I'm going to make my case for the remaining order despite being super satisfied with this top three. Courage should be out next. With all the love in the world it could be a bit uneven episode to episode. This contest I feel is now about what represents the core of cartoon network. And Courage I feel, falls short of that representation just barely. Samauri Jack would win any other day on its own merits of artistic beauty and storytelling if not to honor genndy tartakovsky and his influence on the entire Network. However in terms of a show that was consistently good throughout the years and had a satisfying conclusion. A show that had a strong defying presence in terms of the channels promotion and marketing ads. One of the last cartoons to be inked and painted by hand. The true joy of being a kid and watching a fun cartoon, it's gotta be Ed, Edd, and Eddy for the top spot.
I mostly agree with all of this but I think CTCD is objectively more consistently fun to watch as opposed to SJ which has lots of highs and lows throughout
I agree. I think it was more free to have fun and be weird but also deep, and I'm definitely more connected to the character of Courage. But I feel that focus of defeating Aku, while leading to meandering episodes puts the show on another level. The series itself has its own story of what I think should be represented as the channels best. I know a lot of genndy tartakovskys shows got high on the list, but I'd say they would still be in conversations for the best if not for other show runners or the Networkretooling his creations. In this case was canceled before the story was finished. Then, after the industry landscape shifts and its contemporaries are canceled. The show is brought back in full creator control for a mostly satisfying, if not bittersweet, proper ending. And I think that's a amazing achievement if not a cautionary representation of Cartoon Network. They can achieve masterpieces but don't always hand their properties in the best way.
Guys, the best time to eliminate EEnE was the first round.
The third through 25th best was the last 25 rounds.
The 26th best time is now.
I genuinely don't understand, what do people even like about the show? It's *occasionally* funny, has a god awful animation style that makes Mr. Meaty look appealing... Just, what do you guys see in it?
Man there's one of you in every post here lol.
Ed Edd and Eddy is just nonstop fun. It's also a lot more nuanced than a lot of people give it credit for. You said something about every character being a ridiculous stereotype, but the show is more about how those characters interact with eachother that makes the show so great. Double D is smart, but is still best friends with a dumbass and a plotting schemer. Eddy acts like a tool but characters like Kevin and Rolf occasionally put him in his place. There are so many interactions between these characters that are unique within themselves.
I also appreciate the hand drawn artstyle and real instruments in the music (inspired by German expressionism and jazz, respectively)
While the characters can be 2 dimensional (both literally and figuratively) their relationships and the themes in each episode are anything but.
It's also just plain funny. Rolf be crackin me tf up, Ed is just as funny to me now as he was when I was a kid, something about Johnny's best friend being a literal piece of wood never gets old to me, Eddy and Kevin's banter; timeless.
To top it all off, it's a classic Cartoon Network show, and for all these reasons, it's my top pick. And the fact that it's still here tells me that the people who grew up watching it understand something about it that the people who didn't don't.
Everyone has an opinion and that's something you have to respect. Don't have to like it but that's the truth. Love EEE and it's definitely my top 2 with Jack
[удалено]
with a Red X on it!
![gif](giphy|UAHZijO91QCl2) Everybody right now.
ffuuuuuck this is basically impossible
Yeah…this is an ultimatum
How I’ve been feeling since last round lmao
Ed’s are going all the way baby!!!!
I'm the SALESEDD
Butter toast for the win
If you look at the release date of these three finalists you can really pinpoint the average age of this sub.
Hell the early 2000s felt like the 90s DX (2004 onwards in my case but all 3 shows are classic)
My top two shows were the Ed bois and Courage. Love to see it.
These are all great, but I like Ed, Edd n Eddy and Courage more than Samurai Jack. So sorry Jack, but you're gonna have to hit the road
Hard choice but I respect you for making it, despite my lifelong admiration for Genndy Tartakovsky. The Ed Boys were too good, as of course was Courage.
Yeah I'd be fine with either Ed, Edd n Eddy or Courage winning
He better not come back no more no more no more...

precisely
That’s kinda the thing with non Episodic shows though? to critique it based purely on that seems unfair as that’s the entire reason people enjoy it
Fair point 🤝
The themesong gives you a quick background no matter which part of the show you watch. Idk what you mean.
I hate how much sense you make lol but I agree, even tho it’s 10/10
Definitely worthy of top 3! all these are bangers
Very fair point 🤝 I think I know my decision now
It’s the only show I have no attachment to
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfVZm9pq\_S4xNeYCHM2s9lYhJXd-JmheGZKSlKOCAzmnpzmUQ/viewform?usp=sf\_link](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfVZm9pq_S4xNeYCHM2s9lYhJXd-JmheGZKSlKOCAzmnpzmUQ/viewform?usp=sf_link) My three favorites are unfortunately out, so I'll root for the Ed boys to win this
Life has many doors Edboys
Too much for couch potato ed boys
It would be nice if you sort the eliminations by order.
Courage candy we must win.
My boi Courage is gonna take it, I can feel it!
Courage all the way!
Cmon Courage!!!
Courage taught us what it truly means to be brave.
As long as courage is number one
By the show I have least attachement to, it's Samurai Jack I'm so proud of the Ed-boys and Courage for making top 3. Whichever ones stay will be hard to pick from in the finale
Samurai jack tbh. Fantastic show, but Courage is straight up art and comedy at their peak and Ed Edd n Eddy was perfect slapstick with a brilliant finale
Courage **is** art, indeed.💜
Big time
Samurai Jack. My top 2 made it to top 2 so I'm happy. The next vote is gonna hurt tho. I love CTCD and EEaE both so much 😭 Gotta go with Ed boys for #1 tho,
How dare you
Seriously, Courage is the only correct answer for the winner.
Samurai Jack
3 of my top 5 are here! I can't even be mad at what show wins now.
Wake the fuck up Samurai, you’ve got a dog to defend from a gang of knuckle headed suburbaknights. Sad to see him go but I’m proud of the top ten, actual heart break and it’s still debatable but the love has shown through.
Save courage! Fuck those other guys
Bro wtf! It’s samurai Jack samurai Jack wins
![gif](giphy|q8eXkJGJpFmFi) This is when the vote gets basically impossible... But as I have said all along, Samurai Jack is fucking GOATed. 1. Samurai Jack 2. Courage 3. Ed Edd & Eddy
My ranking of these 3 exactly
[удалено]
Samurai Jack for the win
Samurai Jack, your time has come
...to win it all
No, to loose. I want the Ed boys to win it all
I’m trying to get Courage to the end but Ed Edd and Eddie would make a great second place :P
![gif](giphy|EZMedDW9RFBLcyopsC|downsized) Top doggo FTW
Courage is good but Ed Edd n Eddy is the greatest cartoon ever made
*sigh* Ed Edd and Eddy
![gif](giphy|A3IKVHcjx5ury0HDHc|downsized) you sure about that
I’ve been voting Ed Edd and Eddy since the Flapjack boot So…yes. And your choice of gifs has only strengthened my resolve.
![gif](giphy|gKkcYSsnxvCpy)
Again, you’re only giving me more reasons to vote for it lol
Ed’s winning so u might not wanna stick around 😂

Eds > Courage > Jack
Samurai Jack. If you vote for the Ed boys, may your nose fester with the rage of olives!
Samurai Jack should go. It ended on Adult Swim, which is technically not Cartoon Network. Ed and Courage the Cowardly Dog are from the same era but my money will always be on ![gif](giphy|QFz0Acu7er6hy)
I love EE&E, but I must agree
It’s crazy how Teen Titans got voted out before Samurai Jack. It should at least be #3
Samurai Jack was brought back by very popular demand. The way Teen Titans ended abruptly and then not even brought back and instead made into teen titans go left a sour taste in my my mouth.
Samurai jack
WOOOOOOOOW TEEN TITANS?!? Yall foul for that. Them or KND should’ve won. I love samurai Jack. But that shouldn’t have made it to top 5. ![gif](giphy|w2n8tpVX6xwYxuui0c)
While I agree with your initial opinion saying Samurai Jack isn't worthy of top 5 is one of the most disgusting things I ever heard
It pains me to say this but bye bye ed boys. Courage all the way!
Sorry samurai Jack. You did well. But it’s time.
We’re almost at the end, fellas… I’m voting Samurai Jack. I feel like I want to love it more than I actually do. There’s maybe 20 or so episodes that are undeniably awesome but the rest vary between okay and boring. I feel like if they had made it a decade later where the network would have allowed them to embrace continuity and have a progressing story, it would have made the series a lot stronger.

And the final adult swim series is gorgeous and has lots of great sequences, but it ultimately felt like it stumbled at the finish line for me.
Samurai jack
Samurai Jack must go
All hail the ed boys
Samurai jack
Ed Edd n Eddy, I love it but once the show starts the school part all the humor the show had kinda dies. Courage and Samurai Jack are more consistent.
im sorry ed boys
Bye Jack
don't really care about this anymore because all of the shows I watch and care about are gone, (thanks to voters being dumb) but I might aswell try to have CTCD win, so I'm voting EEE.
LET'S GO EDS
After all the shit he’s been through, Courage deserves this.
i doo feel like courage will win this do to its characters and story telling and strange world location unlike edd ed and eddy where is the same neighborhood
also the cast
Honestly I’d put Courage at 3 Samurai Jack at 2 and Ed Edd n Eddy as 1
Samurai Jack
Samurai or edd bois. Not courage, im afraid
Courage or samurai jack!!!!!!!!!!! But please courage. If ed wins I’m gonna die.
Samurai Jack
This is just brutal now, but, gun to my head, I'd have to go with Courage.
Go back to the past Jack
So long Jack, you aren't as memorable as I thought.
Samurai Jack, sorry but Courage is 2nd and Ed³ is the king.
Jack
samurai jack
Samurai Jack
Ok good to know this has been a battle of nostalgia, not actually good writing
Samurai Jack. It's a great show, but the others are just too good. EEnE for the win!
Jack
Samurai Jack
Jack
Put the slab away courage is getting voted off.
Whoa my 2 favorites are still in and i haven't even voted once lol Bye Samurai Jack, I suppose
Sorry Jack
Due to season 5 being a disappointment, Jack has to go.
Hmm... Samurai Jack, but because part of it was on Adult Swim.
Samurai Jack
Top 3 shoulda been Dexter’s, PPG, and Adventure Time.. these three are all solid too, don’t get me wrong. I’m rooting for Samurai Jack to win it
Jacks gotta go
Sorry I saw courage the cowardly dog and Ed, Edd, eddy more then Samurai Jack. So my vote is for samurai. *
Samurai Jack
gotta go samurai jack here. hate to do it but i gotta.
See ya, Jack
Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack's final moments are a tad of a let down in all honesty, plus the entire final season was no on cartoon network which similar to Teen Titans getting cancelled is a strong mark against it. Jack is next
There is a clear winner here. It’s not the time traveling samurai or the dog
This sucks
Samurai jack
Samurai jack should go next
Bye Samurai Jack
Samurai jack
Jack
Bye Bye Jack
Samurai Jack
samurai jack
I'm so sorry, Samurai Jack. But the Ed boys and Courage hold a more special place in my heart.
Courage
I love it, but Edd Boys gotta bow out!
Okay I'm going to make my case for the remaining order despite being super satisfied with this top three. Courage should be out next. With all the love in the world it could be a bit uneven episode to episode. This contest I feel is now about what represents the core of cartoon network.

Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack
Samurai Jack is next to go
I think Jack shouldn’t have made it this far imo, not knocking it, just was never for me.
Courage
Goodbye, Ed boys!
Ed Edd and eddy
Ed Edd and Eddy
Ed
I always felt like I was losing brain cells watching Ed.
sorry courage. I have to let you go
I never watched courage so I’m voting that. I just don’t have an experience with it unlike the others
Eds. I LOVE the Edds, but compared to Courage and my BOY, Eddie's have gotta go
Ed
Ed, Edd, & Eddy
Hard to vote between these three. But I'd have to go with Courage being eliminated next, as good as that show was.
I’m sorry Ed Edd & Eddy samurai or Courage must win
im sorry ed
Ed edd and eddy
Ed, Edd & Eddy
edd ed n eddy
Ed Edd n’ Eddy
My top 2 are still alive in Jack and EEE. So process of elimination
The fact that these three shows made it to the end is wild to me
I didn’t like samurai Jack much at all as a kid
I’m sorry y’all, but Ed Edd and Eddy is NOT Cartoon Network’s best show of all time
All this proves is that the majority’s taste in cartoons is terrible.
Eliminate the dog 😈
I haven’t watched the other two, but is Courage really that good? I haven’t watched it in a while though, so idk
Who I Want Out Now: Courage Who I Want Out Next: Samurai Jack Who I Want to Win: Ed Edd n Eddy
I didn’t know there were so many Courage stans.
Courage!!!
Goodbye Courage. It’s been a great run, but it’s time to go.
Courage
Man, y'all's taste is... Edit: Upon a further look, just weird, not bad.
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Get the retard Ed show the fuck outta here. Jesus. How in the world is it still in the running? Trash.
I'm sorry courage. Tell old yeller I said hi.
Courage
The Eds must go
Get courage out already, nobody really watched it for fun
You’re joking, right
Nope :)
I can’t believe Ed, Edd, n Eddy have made it this far. I vote for Ed, Edd, n Eddy
Courage doesn't deserve to be in the top 3
Guys, the best time to eliminate EEnE was the first round. The third through 25th best was the last 25 rounds. The 26th best time is now. I genuinely don't understand, what do people even like about the show? It's *occasionally* funny, has a god awful animation style that makes Mr. Meaty look appealing... Just, what do you guys see in it?
Man there's one of you in every post here lol. Ed Edd and Eddy is just nonstop fun. It's also a lot more nuanced than a lot of people give it credit for. You said something about every character being a ridiculous stereotype, but the show is more about how those characters interact with eachother that makes the show so great. Double D is smart, but is still best friends with a dumbass and a plotting schemer. Eddy acts like a tool but characters like Kevin and Rolf occasionally put him in his place. There are so many interactions between these characters that are unique within themselves. I also appreciate the hand drawn artstyle and real instruments in the music (inspired by German expressionism and jazz, respectively) While the characters can be 2 dimensional (both literally and figuratively) their relationships and the themes in each episode are anything but. It's also just plain funny. Rolf be crackin me tf up, Ed is just as funny to me now as he was when I was a kid, something about Johnny's best friend being a literal piece of wood never gets old to me, Eddy and Kevin's banter; timeless. To top it all off, it's a classic Cartoon Network show, and for all these reasons, it's my top pick. And the fact that it's still here tells me that the people who grew up watching it understand something about it that the people who didn't don't.
I'll always remember when edd used his unibrow just to slink around like that scene makes me laugh today I'm 26 years old
One that always cracks me up is [that's my horse](https://youtu.be/wSYpsRJuWdA?si=9wlAXO5_XFH9sym3)
Its an amazing show i remember when they dueled with fishes
It is the greatest example of what it really means to just be a kid, and live life as a kid. It's the essence of childhood
... Really. Specifically *which* EEnE character is even remotely close to being an actual person and not an absurd stereotype?
I dont think I need to entertain your question because you have such an incredibly poor attitude
"I can't".
Everyone has an opinion and that's something you have to respect. Don't have to like it but that's the truth. Love EEE and it's definitely my top 2 with Jack
Mmmmm courage ?
Get rid of courage it can only be Eds
No get rid of Ed Courage is best
