Hey, good point about the CN big picks! What ever happened to that?! i hope another one comes soon. And all I can say for Flapjack is... well, atleeste it's not typical, like some cookie-cutter excuses for shows, like "Totally Spies" Sorry to anybody who liked that show, but I just couldn't stomach it. At all. Or any show in which the main character is a "Typical teenage girl trying to fit iiiiiin", and all they wanna do it shop for shoes, go on dates, and talk like valley-girls at the mall, but also somehow kick butt and save the daayy. It's almost insulting, like it's saying all teenage girls are materialistic idiots or something, and it's so predictable! And "My life as a teenage robot" was the same thing, only with a robot! And to be on-topic (or a sorry excuse for it): Gimme a C! Gimme an R! Gimme an O! Gimme a... Ah, forget it XP Crossover, Yaaaayy!!

@ "Cartoons are getting worse"
I've been hearing this since I was in grade school. I think this has a lot to do with personal preference, more than whether or not cartoons are just "going downhill."
Personally, I never liked most of Cartoon Network's original shows. I was of the crowd that thought the channel went downhill when they started pre-empting 1980s reruns in favor of "junk" like Dexter and Powerpuff Girls. But then, 1980s reruns are my thing... as long as the shows being rerun aren't by Hanna-Barbera or Ruby-Spears (which most of CN's were, so maybe they were doing the world a favor). KND was sort of a diamond in the rough for me--the only good original show out of a channel that had become known as a producer of junk.
Personally, I think what a good cartoon needs is believable characters, action, drama, and an interesting story or two. This is why I find a lot of CN's stuff lacking. The only show besides KND that I felt had potential was Juniper Lee, and they ruined it by playing everything up for laughs.
@ The Crossover
I'm probably not gonna like it. There's what other people have mentioned about the two shows not being all that compatible (one actually has a plot, the other's just a novelty comedy with a lot of gross-out jokes), and also, most crossovers tend to be little more than excuses to have improv teamups or have the casts fight each other. They're usually more about "Let's try to show off each other's characters!" than good storytelling. If this one is different, it'll be good. Though Mandy taking over the KND sounds like an unfeasible premise.
