Man, this show had a lot of potential but fuck them. I hated the constant "snap" sound effect every single character made with every single movement. I swear it happened every 5 seconds. What the fuck?
 
Holy shit, I remember this starting when I regularly watched Cartoon Network. It was a flimsy premise when it started- they managed to stretch 130 episodes of content out of this thing?

Four.
Well, 13 were made but only four were shown.
I'm flat certain that more than those four were shown in the UK. Not sure if it was all 13, but definitely more than 4.
 
I didn't hate it or love it. I thought it was alright (if nothing else was on it wasn't bad to watch but it wasn't something I went out of my way to watch. Hell, it was pretty good for being on my list of, "Can watch if nothing else is on."

Pretty much how I felt about it too. There were/are certainly worse CN shows to wake up to in the morning than Johnny Test.

They probably showed all 13 in the UK.
In the states they only showed 4 episodes.
 
Hopefully Adventure Time follows shortly.

Come at me, butthurt Adventure Time fans. Yes, I know it'll never happen because it's a massive cashcow for Cartoon Network.

I think Adventure Time is more worn out and past its prime rather than the mediocre trash Johnny Test pretty much always was.
 
We need someone to compile a list of all the shows that were cancelled between when CN picked this show up and when it was finally cancelled. Y'know, just to remind us how shit CN is sometimes.

My sentiments exactly.

It ain't even sentiments. It's the truth. Dexter's lab is about a redheaded boy with a secret lab, a dumb sister, a stay at home mom and businessman dad. Johnny Test is about a stay a dumb brother, his twin redhead genius sisters and their lab, his stay at home dad and businesswoman mom.

Also Dexter's had a creepy genius who rivaled Dexter and was rich but in love with his sister. Johnny's has a creepy genius who is rich and in love with Johnny's sisters.

Etc etc etc.

AT ain't shit compared to Regular show tho


Yea.....I said it

I think Regular Show could be better if more episodes were funny ones like the recent one about Pops catching waves and less about Mordecai's goddamn relationship issues. It's gotten to the point where I sympathize more with Rigby than Mordecai now.

Hopefully Adventure Time follows shortly.

Can't hear you over the sound of your own butthurt.

But speaking of pain, this hurts here. How Johnny Test survived while Cartoon Network slaughtered stuff like SymBionic and Mysteries Inc I don't even want to think about.
 
God this show was horrible, god damn this horrible show had so many episodes and lasted that long....

7 SEASONS DOE!?? Where's Chowder and Flapjack's 7th season man?! :(
 
Clarence slays me to pieces, man. Every episode of that show is magic. Kid is like, my spirit animal or something.

The Clarence dollars episode is amazing. Both for the Ducktales homage and that i took the entire episode as making fun of bitcoin

There are a lot of shows missing from this list, the most damning being Green Lantern. Also, I wouldn't count Alien Force/Ultimate Alien, as those weren't cancellations as much as the show being retooled.
 
Now, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, that was legit.

Well, I read the thread title as it was about Johnny Quest and I was pretty surprised until I read the rest.
And TBH I'm not sure if I even heard about Johnny Test before... shows how much I'm not really oriented in today's cartoons.

why include ben 10 if it's still going?
 
This just happened now?

WOW. I can't believe it took them this long.

Most irritating thing about that show were its references. With many of the episodes doing other cartoons' famous comedy shticks while the characters go: "HEY, I'VE SEEN THIS SOMEWHERE BEFORE."
 
I remember watching a couple of episodes about three hears ago and I remember thinking, man, everything about this show is bad to average. The writing, the art, the music, the characters...
 
Good lord that took a long time. Was the show really that popular or just super cheap to make? But I guess now it'll stay in syndication for the next decade.

My oddest memory of the show was it being played on a big tv at a local pizza place I was trying out for the first time. Everything about the place was already bad (bad lighting, dirt, ceiling tiles falling out, literal frozen pizza from the supermarket), but being subjected to Johnny Test blaring from the tv the whole time just made everything worse. It was like a pizzaria as featured in purgatory.
