Bracket Bastards #226 "Cartoon Calamity"

Bracket Bastards is crawling out of retirement for a very special occasion.This time, we're teaming up with Dr. P.F. Jeremiah & His Infernal Roommate to take on 50 years of animated television and answer a question that absolutely did not need answering—but we're doing it anyway:Which cartoon is the best of the best?Thirty-two cartoons. Four major networks. One bracket.Nickelodeon. Cartoon Network. Adult Swim. Disney.From childhood classics and Saturday morning staples to talking food, imaginary friends, supernatural teenagers, billionaire ducks, sponge employees, anime demons, and whatever the hell Adult Swim was doing at 2:30 in the morning, we've assembled 32 animated heavyweights to battle it out.But this isn't just nostalgia.The bracket is randomized. Networks can face anyone. Childhood favorites can get eliminated in Round One. And when the debate becomes impossible, there's only one emergency option:Bracket Bastards may have retired from weekly competition...But for cartoons?Yeah, we made an exception.Let the arguments begin.
