This. Chowder and Flapjack were competing against utterly slop like this
Does anyone even remember Squirrel Boy? The literal most I've seen that show get referenced is from people asking 'If Squirrel Girl is a thing, is there a Squirrel Boy? (Google searches) Oh." That's probably the most attention that show's gotten since it went off the air, and no one cares even now.
Who gives a shit about My Gym Partner's a Monkey? Who gives a shit about Chop Socky Chooks? Camp Lazlo was okay at best, but even at the time it was one of the first 'big' shows CN aired that I didn't like as much as the earlier ones. Class of 3000 was cool, but died way too soon. Ben 10 I didn't watch but people liked it, I thought it was a weaker answer to Teen Titans.
That was it, that's all you had before them

And CN Real could go fuck itself sideways.
They were an oasis amid shit. But I'm kind of glad they came out when they did just so CN wasn't completely dead.
