Nostalgia! As we bid adieu to Cartoon Network, here are some iconic shows

As Cartoon Network shuts down, it's time for 90s and early 2000s kids to reminisce about the beloved shows that defined our childhood.

Firstly, the strangest, Courage the Cowardly Dog (1996) featured an anxious pink dog named Courage, who lived with an elderly couple in the middle of ‘Nowhere’. Courage faced supernatural forces to protect his clueless owners, Muriel and Eustace, who often scared him with a creepy mask.

Next, The Powerpuff Girls (1998) introduced us to Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, three superpowered sisters created by their scientist father. They fought crime in Townsville, with Mojo Jojo, the evil talking monkey, as their biggest nemesis.

Adventure Time (2010-2018) followed Finn, a boy, and Jake, his magical shape-shifting dog, in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. The show mixed whimsical adventures with deep emotional themes, featuring colorful characters like Princess Bubblegum and the Ice King.

People are still crazy over Johnny Bravo (1996) which showcased Johnny, an Elvis-inspired teen with big blonde hair, built, wearing a tight black T-shirt, an inspiration to many boys now. Yet, he hilariously failed at winning women's affections, often interrupted by his adoring neighbor, Suzy.

Steven Universe (2016), created by Rebecca Sugar, broke new ground with its depiction of gay marriage, PTSD, and female superheroes. Steven, a half-human, came of age while being raised by the magical Crystal Gems, learning powerful life lessons along the way.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (2001-2007), another iconic show featured the dim-witted Billy and manipulative Mandy, who befriended the Grim Reaper after winning a limbo contest. The show combined dark humor with supernatural themes and memorable characters.

Last but definitely not the least, The Looney Tunes Show gave classic characters like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, a modern sitcom twist. As roommates, they navigated everyday challenges with help from iconic friends like Lola Bunny and Porky Pig.

As we say goodbye to Cartoon Network, these shows remain cherished memories, taking us back to simpler, fun-filled times.
