Shows great. One of the better things cartoon networks done recently

[@NickLogoAbk2913]

It’s not very good

[@wrathofthesage]

I LOVE Craig of the Creek so much! The best modern CN show for sure!

[@KyuriD876]

i don't know if you like netflix shows, but watch Trollhunters: tales of arcadia !!! i'm certain that you will love it. and Craig of the creek is so good too, i'm finishing the second season soon.

[@bjwill9047]

I love this show. Really captured the feeling of being a kid. It’s so creative and imaginative, the characters are fun and they somehow can do emotional wholesome and warm feelings in one show. Also they do representation right, they don’t make the representation the main part of the show, they just have the characters like characters with personality’s instead of token characters.

[@SageArdor]

Craig of the Creek is, in my opinion, the best show Cartoon Network has aired since I became an adult. It manages to craft a great narrative while also being relatable to children in an innocent way.

[@masterknife8423]

Sadly though it's the only great show Cartoon Network currently has. We need another golden era of great cartoons again like the years 2010-2013

[@RobloxEdits281]

Craig of the creek is the only cartoon I watch on cartoon network

[@cryforhelp7270]

What's relatable to children in an inappropriate way then? Lol

[@frytoes]

It's one of my favourite cartoons on air right now. Craig of the Creek has surprisingly interesting world building as well as a wealth of fun characters, it has an appealing charm, and a sense of nostalgia.

[@Pokedexs]

@@RobloxEdits281 that’s sad Cartoon Network has so many good shows like adventure time and gumball

[@ItsKishaK]

It makes me so happy that don’t have “black” characters but characters who just happen to be black. It’s about time media portrays POC as just regular people. This show is great 💕

[@Kram1032]

And not just that, it has a cast of POC that's very diverse and increasingly so. I like to say that, if you aren't represented by CotC, it's because you aren't represented by the show *yet.* - Given enough opportunities, they will eventually have direct representation of just about anybody. And really solid such rep, even if it's just for a single episode. (Given enough time it's likely more)

[@finnmchugh99]

That's how I felt on watching Into the Spiderverse in the same way. To clarify I mean the movie was different from the typical spiderman movie plot. Peter get bitten by spider, becomes superhero, etc. This at least shook up the formula with "What if someone else became spiderman?" and the movie went on with showing the different spider...people(?) and the movie was like Miles not becoming a webslinger like Parker but his own hero, outside of that daunting shadow and mentored on that journey. Man I look forward to the sequel. Anyway sorry for that longwinded tangent but yeah I agree.

[@トーキ-g8v]

@@finnmchugh99 it’s wild to think that in all of Miles Morales’ history as a character Spider-verse was the first story where he actually managed to be his own character and hero instead of just being Peter but black.

[@lugit36]

Exactly

[@wyatt778]

Exactly. And they do this with their lgbtq representation too. Like when secret keeper and george became canon, they don’t treat it as some big thing, just kids asking each other out

[@cruzdesangre2850]

I saw this cartoon years ago and it has become one of my favourite series. It is so relatable, like a better version of what Clarence was, a kid doing things you maybe did when you were one. And I could never understand why nobody knew about its existence. Maybe it's the slow death of TV and shift to streaming services what made people not talk a lot about it.

Also being from Maryland and the suburbs, this show hit me in the nostalgia feels and quickly became one of my favorites. I also like the care they put into each character and some of the family dynamics that are very close to home for me. I'm glad this show exists.

[@NobodyC13]

I live and grew up in Maryland, too and there are several things and signifiers about the state that appear on the show. My county was even namedropped once.

[@k.muffinpug6259]

I live in Maryland too and my neighborhood is surrounded by woods and creeks. Kids would always play there, so this show is very nostalgic.

[@Lastofthescofflaws]

I'll just say I am a Black professional middle class male and I ADORE this show. I wholeheartedly wish I had a show like Craig of the Creek growing up. But I am extremely happy young Black kids have this to enjoy now. Thanks for supporting the show and for all your great videos.

[@GeckoTech_Engineer]

I wish the creek was real

[@andrewbrasfield1104]

I love the casual diversity in the show. There really aren't any moments that point out that a character has a certain skin color or has a certain sexuality (I know there's more to do with that aspect in season 4 but I'm sure they handle it well). Its just.. there. I remember there was one episode where the Stump Kids were trying to catch a ferret, so they made a puppet that looked like a really girly ferret. But then J.P. said something like, "Well what if this ferret likes boy ferrets?" And Kelsey just says, "Oh yeah good point," and they just make another one. It's so casual and I love how this show handles everything

[@ReeseHosgood]

One interesting thing that stood out to me about the show is in the one episode where the elders are naming off a bunch of older Cartoon Network shows I recognized almost all of those.

[@moniqueperkinsmp]

Craig is so great but sadly underrated, the story is pumping really good, and it's not even dead by TTG, it's really special, I've seen the pilot, all seasons so far, and I will recommend it to anyone that like stories and lore building, and fun misadventures!

[@tiahahahahahaha8111]

I am so happy I gave this show a chance. It is a truly undiscovered gem that I wish more people knew about. This show caters a lot to childhood fun and nostalgia. Growing up my favorite show was ed Edd n eddy, I loved the shenanigans and scams the 3 Edds pulled In the neighborhood and later on we see growth in some of the characters as the seasons change. It's funny because the show started out as a goofy kids show. I started to rewatch ed Edd n eddy as an adult and just enjoy it much more. It's the same thing with craig of the creek. In the beginning we just focused on playtime, but in later seasons it tackled interesting topics like growing up and how hard it is to make friends.

[@RadioNickWNHS]

As someone who also grew up in Maryland for most of my life I feel like that’s what first brought me to watch the show but the story telling, character design, and environment is what kept me interested in the show and wanting to continue watching

[@berryjunmill9029]

Craig of the creek is definitely a comfort show for me. I love that I can watch it with my little cousin and uncle as something we all enjoy. seeing myself in so many characters and reliving childhood memories.

[@madeforaproject]

Jeff Rosenstock and his experience with DIY punk and Ska music (ASOB, Bomb the Music Industry, solo work, etc.) Is to thank for the composition of music on the show and its sooooo good. Highly recommend anything he's ever done.

[@Blarmenify]

'worry' is so good.

[@JMED0000]

I love this show, it’s amazing and is really complex especially with the development of characters. I was wondering who was going to talk about this show. I love that the main character is a POC, his best friends are raised by single parents and one maybe queer. It’s pretty amazing when I watch the show and have to remind myself this is the same network that gave us Steven Universe which was amazing. ❤️

[@gracekim1998]

Yes Kelsey like the library kid

[@ricktimus73]

One of the major things I love about this show watching it as an adult is that I can clearly see that it's a show made by my generation (all the references to our childhood classics) but it cares so deeply about it's young audience too, what in terms of all the representation and the care that goes into those portrayals. In an age where media thrives on generational divide, it's so refreshing to see stories that are less "Hey, our childhoods were better" but rather, "Hey, look at all these ways our childhoods have been similar." It's just a wholesome show, man. That's always been the main word I've used to describe it.

[@moonie6368]

I actually have a story with Craig of the creek, I remember one day I was in depressive episode, I was feeling numb and overwhelmed, it was 1am and I couldn’t sleep, my one was just fluttering with these thoughts, and I was struggling with feelings of hopelessness, so I decided to turn the tv to distract my mind, and that’s when I saw Craig of the creek, it was an episode where Craig and his brother had to make pumpkin pie, and idk why but for a moment I was able to forget my shitty day, my feelings of hopelessness, and just enjoy this show, and every time I had just cried or felt emotionally exhausted I would turn the tv and this show would start playing. So yeah over the years this has become my comfort series. I think it’s so wholesome, and it makes me reminisce of my childhood ❤

[@songecko1166]

Honestly, seeing a show that encapsulates some of my favorite cartoons as a kid and paying homage to them really is the highlight. Then to see anime references and Craig’s parents sing songs my own parents listen to was amazing. Glad to watch this show.

[@lbjadamskesuma5804]

Go bro Nice

[@ashyaandrews8739]

I’m so glad you reviewed this show. Cartoon Network truly has a gem in their hands. From Adventure Time to Steven U, even Amazing World of Gumball, they recognize that their audience isn’t just limited to kids. Craig of the Creek speaks to the 1st gen of Cartoon Network kids (late 20’s-30’s) and the reference and jokes are top tier. Especially the culturally relevant content; not only do they nail Black culture, but I’ve also been introduced to new ones too like Indian and Filipino. Excited for where this show goes.

[@justinsinger2505]

Craig of the creek is honestly super amazing for a modern CN show. I’m glad it’s gotten a chance to continue and keep going. I was watching my girlfriends little sisters and we just marathoned some of the show and had a good time. Also if you love this show i’d reccomend checking out clarance since that plays on the childish imagination and being a kid thing

[@jasminecarter9594]

I've been watching Craig of the Creek since it started and I love it so much! my favorite thing about the show would be how it pushes its own reality. There are always things that happen and you can't really tell if it's their imagination or is actually happening. Like I'm pretty sure JP is a magical being but no one really addresses it lol. I'm also a POC and seeing a family like this is so nice. The episode where Craig's Uncle, Aunt, and cousins come to visit is exactly how it is in my family.

[@avidpaintwatcher]

What I get from Craig of the Creek is a fusion between KND and Ed, Edd, N' Eddy. With just enough watering down it goes from fantastical and silly to generally believable and endearing. It also has the variety of cast that any clade can understand it and enjoy this innocent, and imaginative romp of kids being kids. With just enough adult themes and references that a younger adult can appreciate it too. Edit with a ps: said before I watched this so I can reflect on my opinion after hearing this mans

[@kingjunior525]

I'm 27, watching this with my daughter made me realize how much childhood can still be the same for her, despite the way the world is now.

[@crimewizards]

this show absolutely brought me back to being a little kid and running around in the backyard with all the other neighborhood kids, the nostalgia is wild, and it also means so much to me as an adult, because the older characters in the show also reflect my current reality. seeing a show with such diversity of characters has been so refreshing and i just.

My dad absolutely loves this show. He used to play in the creek with his friends and siblings a whole bunch and also lived in Boltimore, Maryland for his whole life before moving to Missouri. I love it because it brings back memories of when I was a kid and how I used to act. It’s absolutely incredible and nostalgic for me.

was so thrilled to see you have a video about cotc, since obviously you dont tend to cover modern cartoons. its really the one ongoing modern cartoon i wish more people would talk about! i loved it when it came out and having been able to intern on it a few years ago made me love it even more, the crew puts so much heart into it. the show is certainly getting more attention now than before but seeing videos like this make me excited that even more people will consider watching it!

I’m happy to hear that Craig of the Creek is still going on. It’s the closest show out right now that captures that feeling & energy of other shows from my childhood like Kick Buttowski, Randy Cunningham 9th grade Ninja, & Johnny Test that a LOT of other shows fail to capture nowadays. It doesn’t try to push any specific agenda, it’s just kids being kids & I really HEAVILY respect the show for that.

[@yvaincallipso84]

It honestly gave me so much nostalgia for playing in the neighborhood with my friends. They really did capture the feeling of being a kid

[@yannthehuman2959]

I love Craig of the Creek and it always felt like the show didnt get the recognition it deserves just because it is "new". Personally I cant really relate to the life the kids are living (im not from the US or a suburban area etc) but I still get a homey feeling, watching the williams family, and nostalgia for something I never got to experience myself. They really did a great job catching an essence of childhood and turning it into a show. Great video btw, thank u for your content :)

[@originalrkmorton]

I live vicariously thru this show now. It embraces the imagination and creativity of a show like Rugrats and injects the diverse social structures of other projects like a Recess, two of my favorite shows as a youngster. Many recognizable characters, fleshed out with their own desires and backstories. Rarely a miss in the catalogue. Posting about a year after this vid was made, I hate the flagship is being wrapped up in the next few months. Feels too soon.

[@simoneperkins4419]

Craig of the creek is like the Shrek 2 to Steven Universe. It's created and worked on by some of the crew from SU. Even voice actors. I absolutely love the representation of both different cultures and lgbtq. Every episode is great in some way rather that's slice of life or lore driven. Honestly I feel like I will look more back more on this then SU.

[@xelthos2051]

Craig of the Creek is amazing, one of my favorites to watch. A bit more realistic Adventure Time, just reliving those fun adventures in my head as a kid. There are some really amazing current shows out there, Infinity Train, Craig, Owl House, Amphibia, even the Duck Tales reboot was so amazing. *Almost forgot Summer Camp Isle as well.

Never watched it but just your review has given me all sorts of feels and flashbacks. I live in a rural area so there are less kids but we did have all sorts of adventures in the the woods that surround the area. Building forts, exploring parts of the woods we had,'t been to. Creating challenge of random sorts. Hunting for lizards was a favorite activity in the summer. Now that Im the only one still living here its kind of sad thinking back.

I’ve lived in Maryland my whole life and Herkelton really reminds me of Anne arundel or PG county. What’s funny is my brother,sister and I are the same ages as Craig’s siblings. We had a “creek” that was behind the playground of my elementary school where we would all meet up and play. We even had a “dinner” horn which was this super loud trumpet song that would play every day at 5 PM and that’s when we knew to go home

Craig of the creek is genuinely one of my favorite cartoons of all time. I am currently a late teenager rn and I’m desperately trynna to find shows that recapture that magic of the cartoon renaissance I grew up with such as Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Gunball, Steven, etc. and not only did I find that in Craig but I find such a great feeling a joy and childhood wonder. It has so many great thing from story telling, to representation, to humor, to literally making me tear up.

I am so glad that you covered this show.

I grew up moving around place to place, switching locations every couple of months. Craig of the creek really resonates with the ideal childhood that I wanted. Craig has friends, a save and caring family, a place to explore and imagine, and the consistency to be able to enjoy it all day in day out. I find myself watching in bitter sweet enjoyment. Glad to see what I always hoped for and envious that I never had it.

[@pilotman463]

Not to mention how incredible the overall plot is, it's so nostalgic and yet such an epic tale. And also the fact that this show is extremely diverse and open and shows how such topics don't harm kids, they are being themselves and adventuring their world of life as children, they aren't dumb kids but they have wild imaginations and can be naive

[@aquadragondavanin6745]

craig of the creek is truly an incredible show that people are really sleeping on. i've been watching it since the pilot aired. it's really just got so much love put into it and the adventures the kids go on are not only fun to watch but genuinely inspired. i love when the show blurs the lines on what is dreamed up or exaggerated by the creek kids and what is actually happening. of course pretty much everything they do is a bit beyond what many consider, uh, plausible? but i mean those moments where the characters themselves aren't sure. like the doorway to helen, the haunted dollhouse, whatever is going on with the witch girls in general, and many more. the show is so grounded and yet so imaginative. it's gotten such a perfect blend and nearly every episode is pure joy and a treasure to watch.

[@yogibear8683]

I’m 19 and I’ve been born and raised in Columbia, Maryland. And not much happens on that end. It’s pretty boring. But I remember as a kid me and my friends would come home from school and group up and just run around the neighborhood. We played in this giant ditch in our neighborhood, and the patch of land in the middle of our culdesac we called the island. Craig of the creek gives me a glimpse of what my childhood could’ve been like if we had a creek like that near our neighborhood. This show also has such good rep. Wether that’s poc rep, with their showcase of many different cultures, or that’s lgbt rep, with all their queer characters. Craig of the creek is a show I needed when I was growing up. To help guide my younger self in the direction of play how you want, be who you are, be kind, and let yourself enjoy being a kid. As a kid i was in so much of a rush to grow up faster than I needed too I never was allowed to truly be a kid and have fun. Watching Craig of the creek gives yoh a warm fuzzy feeling and reminds you of those days after school where you dropped your backpack off grabbed a snack and went right outside

Whenever people would tell me that nowadays cartoons aren't as good as they used to be, this is the first show I recommend, it's so wholesome and has such a good message and good vibe

[@Savagery21]

What i love about the show is how nostalgic it is. Whether you're a teen or adult, when you see the show you'll feel like a kid again.

I also recently discovered this show via HBO Max, and it's an instant favorite. And watching it, some characters looked familiar, and it clicked once I heard them. Ben Levin and Matt Burnett got their start here on KZbin, from what I can tell. In one of my favorite shorts from years ago (when animation was still viable on this platform, THANKS ALGORITHM!) IM IN UR MANGER KILLING UR SAVIOR, the elders of the creek are those same characters and I love it since it fits their characters so well from the short, as well as the short series they did, Ronin Dojo Community College DX. Look up For Tax Reasons and Doris & Mary-Anne Are Breaking Out Of Prison here on KZbin for some of their earlier works.

im glad somone else brought up For Tax Reasons...me and my best friend found their video "HP Papercraft" in 2011 and still quote it to this day

this is the one and only time I'm going to say this, I live in Virginia, pretty close to Maryland, right? anyways, this show hits close to home because not only did I always have friends to play with, but Craig of the Creek captures the child's imagination so well. I don't even know why but doing so many of these childish tasks seemed like such an adventure to me. maybe it was because I was an outdoor kid, maybe not. but something about this show just lets the nostalgia waves flow through. this show just speaks so much to me. anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk, see you next time.

This show is just absolute perfection. It ticks every box for a good show and then some. And as for the relateability aspect of it, the show manages to invoke nostalgia even in me, a kid who grew up in dusty deserty las vegas with barely any bodies of water in sight lol. It feels like home even if the stuff thats in it seem foreign and like something I've never even seen before. Like deja vu but even more familiar. Like I'm sure we've all had a friend like JP, and I'm sure we've all had annoying experiences with older siblings, or if youre the oldest or an only child maybe a cousin or something. We've all had those teenagers or older people that as kids we just thought were the coolest people ever We've all had to deal with our first crushes, with finding out our interests, etc. This show is just the most perfect thing ever and I'm glad I found it.

I had to keep this video on hold because I was catching up with the series, but now I’m here and I’m glad to listen to your perspective. Although this video had too many moments from the Capture the flag saga and not enough Slide the Ferret ones

[@NeoXDonut]

Craig of the Creek" is my fav recent cartoon network show, last one was "Ok ko" they made me feel the same as back when i would watch all the classic old shows after school

[@deshawnedwards6412]

YES! I've been waiting for you to do a Craig of the Creek video. I LOVE THIS SHOW! It's my favorite Cartoon Network show on the network. I love the characters, I love the story and I love the adventures they go on in every each episodes. I have at this point watch every episodes of the series at this point and I can't wait for more episodes of Season 4 to come out.

[@jbleichman]

It’s like the love child of Recess and Kids Next Door.

[@Waffle_bleb]

I really love how the characters aren’t written as the color of their skin or their history, but instead they are written as characters (also Jessica NEEDS a spin off show)

[@goldengaruda8935]

Granted

[@Waffle_bleb]

@@goldengaruda8935 YESSSSS

[@wesleypatterson2989]

I absolutely fell in love with this show. All the creativity of something like Ed Edd and Eddy with a really genuine, charming positive vibe

[@Impendingdoomiedoom]

Craig of the creek is a underrated masterpiece in my opinion

[@haleykeck7430]

The animation style is just adorable, I love the oversized jersey! So cute and sweet. I've been interested in learning more about this show, thanks for another great upload!

[@tylerensminger]

I like it. Has charming characters, wholesome moments, and creative stories. It was overshadowed fo a while with Gumball and Teen Titans Go being aired so much but I'm happy to see it get more focus on KZbin

[@sachsoup]

The representation is top off! I almost cried when I found out Sewer Queen was Filipino. I can't relate about her being an immigrant but IT WAS JUST SO TOP OFF WITH THE ulam in ice cream containers, tortang talong (even though I hate it) and SINIGANGHRKEJHSHDOWOWO

[@H3y_Im_Rob]

While you see it as a cross between Hey Arnold! and Rugrats, I see it as a modern day version of the Disney cartoon Recess.

[@fan1000]

Jordan fringe (the icarly guy) talking about Craig of the creek,am I dreaming?

[@deviantgazer4626]

Craig of the Creek is fantastic. It reminds me so much of my Early Childhood Days, we're a lot of kids were basically doing the exact same thing they were doing. Having fun their own way in the creek. Probably does help that this cartoon is set in the same state as my childhood I love this show because it immediately captures the imagination that kids have of that age. Where they want to be something or do something, that kid will do everything in their power to do so making it even a part of their identity

[@elnaoya9274]

FINALLY someone's talking about Craig of the Creek. Hands down the best cartoon currently airing on Cartoon Network right now.
