I recently downloaded
the Cartoon Network app
on my iPad
and I've been
on cloud nine
before bed every night.
While I have
a great deal more
to cover, and while
some shows I've already
seen and won't mention
(shout-out Steven Universe
and Adventure Time)
I'll talk about three shows:
two that are new
and the other that
is new just to me.
Summer Camp Island
This show is the
new brain child
of Julia Pott,
the second female
showrunner on Cartoon Network,
(following Steven Universe).
The 20 episode show
consists of an island
where anything can happen
at summer camp.
Highlights include
a tree of convenience,
counselor witches,
yetis, talking pajamas,
and haunted libraries.
I found out about
this show through
animation designer
whose art is next level,
and Charlyne Yi,
who is the voice
of Alice (and others)
on the show.
Two co-signs.
Watch every episode.
Craig of the Creek
This show is exactly what
I've been looking for
since I finished
watching Gravity Falls.
Craig of the Creek
is equal parts adventure,
clever jokes,
and endless energy.
To watch 11 minutes
of Craig of the Creek
is to drink three
pots of coffee,
win in Laser Tag,
and get straight A's.
I'm forever grateful
that this show has been
picked up for a second
season in 2019.
Uncle Grandpa
This is the third show
I've watched
on my Cartoon Network
app, and certainly
the most twisted.
Maybe it's my age
range, but it reminds
me very much of
Ren and Stimpy.
The more I watch,
the more I enjoy
the playful psychosis.
What a blast.
I love all of the characters.
Unlike Craig of the Creek
and Summer Camp Island,
both of which only have
one season to watch,
Uncle Grandpa has five seasons.
I have plenty of mayhem ahead.
What show should I watch next?
Gumball? We Bare Bears?
Clarence? Apple & Onion?
Regular Show?
