Say what you will about Billy & Mandy’s treatment these days, after watching HatsOffMedia’s recent video, B&M is doing significantly better than Johnny Bravo. They actively avoid mentioning Bravo on social media and completely left him out of the 30th anniversary. I don’t think my dude is even allowed to be on Checkered Past.

I know the answer will be sexism, or some SJW rhetoric, but really, has anyone actually complained about JB? Even the staunch feminists seem to like him. Sad that a show made by a Filipino animator that only got green lit due to female higher ups in CN is now caught in political warfare.

Even in India? I heard he was inexplicably MASSIVE there.
The bobs and vagane jokes write themselves.

A lot of smarter people and/or fans will also point out that Johnny, once he falls in love, becomes such a wonderful boyfriend and gentleman the girlfriend actively regrets being forced to dump him for the status quo.

That in addition to him being smacked around for coming on too hard and the aforementioned himbo qualities meant women could easily enjoy him.

He also is willing to date nerds as seen with Velma, along with being courteous to some strange women like the antelope or the werewolf. The nerd girls who would watch Cartoon Network really take to characters that date the strange girl, see Beast Boy as a prime example.

Going off the CN snubbed reboot trail, we forgot to mention Courage:

CN is pretty keen on not allowing Courage to come back, which is total horse-shit as they proceeded to create a Scooby Doo crossover without his involvement after denying his reboot request.

Maxwell Atoms also denied to do the crossover in a bit of a protest. That, and Warner seemingly screwing him over by denying a potential Scooby/Billy & Mandy crossover. Really have to wonder why they won't do B&M, it is probably the 2nd-3rd best CN show for a crossover film.

So here's some surprising news. A kind anon uploaded all Garfield comic strips to the archive in their best resolution than what they were originally released in.
Copy pasted links below.

As well as a model sheet so if any artfags are interested in making Garfield style shit, there's that too

I'm genuinely baffled that series has had such a long life span. I never hear anything about it. No fan art, rants, merch or anything. At least TeenTitans GO had haters who mellowed out and kids seemed to genuinely find it funny but this is something else. Nobody has opinions about it, good or bad, because nobody seems to know about it.

It's because nobody gives a single shit about Craig of the Creek.

It's basically a worse version of early 2000s cartoons like Recess or Hey Arnold, except the focus is on the token black kid and his boring adventures with autistic friends.

It has the art style of Steven Universe.
The show constantly went off-model because nobody in charge bothered to have a Bible to work from, and it was written by the most out-of-touch adults whose only understanding of children and life was through some useless degrees from college.

Too dull for kids, too lame for adults.

I've always thought the SU episode "Onion Gang" was a stealth pilot for COTC. It takes place almost entirely in the woods, not to mention one of Onion's friends is black. The Recess comparison is spot-on imo.

There's also only so much you can do, story-wise, with regular kids playing in a completely normal forest, I don't know what the selling point was supposed to be, or what they did for apparently 5 whole seasons.

Like others have mentioned, it follows the Hey Arnold thing of making everything that's mundane super important. Girl who lives in the sewers, trading card battles, that sort of thing. I've watched a few episodes and it's...fine. Mildly entertaining and funny in places, but pick any other 2010's show and you'll find something more interesting.
