Cartoon Network vs Nickelodeon Part 10/10

Battle 10: We Bare Bears vs. The Loud House

We Bare Bears was the first Cartoon Network show to have the TV-Y7 rating since Squirrel Boy in 2006, rather than TV-PG like recent hits, and is based on a web comic created by Daniel Chong. Before working at Cartoon Network Studios, Chong worked as a storyboard artist at Disney, Pixar, and Illumination. We Bare Bears is a show about three different species of bears: a grizzly bear named Grizz, a giant panda named Panda, and a polar bear named Ice Bear, who all go on crazy misadventures, like opening their own food truck or searching for their stolen backpack. The show is basically Ed, Edd n Eddy in the 21st century, except the bears are all brothers and none of them have negative traits. The bears are also friends with a child prodigy named Chloe, who's a bit like a cross between Connie from Steven Universe and Hiro from Disney's Big Hero 6. We Bare Bears is different from previous shows from Cartoon Network Studios because there's nothing that will scare or upset single-digit kids, and can be very heartwarming at times.
The Loud House
The Loud House is the newest Nicktoon to hit the airwaves, as of July 23rd, 2016, and was created by Chris Savino, who I nicknamed the 'Joe Grant* of television', because he worked on so many projects. The Loud House is about an eleven-year-old boy named Lincoln Loud, who has to survive everyday life with an ocean of sisters; Ten to be exact. Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, and Lily, each with different personalities and traits. Lori is the oldest, Leni is the typical dumb blonde, Luna has a passion for music, Luan is a comedian, Lynn has a passion for sports, Lucy is an emo poet, Lola is a brat who acts like a princess, Lana is a reptile and amphibian-loving tomboy, Lisa is a genius who has a college degree, and Lily is the baby of the family. Luckily, Lincoln has a friend named Clyde to help him out, but his sisters are always there for Lincoln when he needs them. The Loud House is different from previous Nicktoons because it has humans as major characters rather than talking animals or monsters, and the plots are more down-to-Earth compared to recent Nicktoons. Also, unlike most Nicktoons, the potty humor is kept to a minimum. If I were to make one complaint, I would say that the parents are, most of the time, either irresponsible or goofy. Like in Cow & Chicken, the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Loud are never shown. Also, Lincoln is a bit one-dimensional, nothing more than a male stereotype.
*For those who are unfamiliar, Joe Grant was Walt Disney's right-hand man during the 1930s to the late 1940s. He helped design and write Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi. Also, Lady in Lady and the Tramp is partially based on a dog Joe had when he was younger. Joe returned in 1989 in which he contributed to every animated Disney movie during the 90s, except for The Rescuers Down Under and Aladdin. Joe Grant passed away in 2005, at the age of 96. His last projects to be involved with were Disney•Pixar's Up and, surprisingly, Chicken Little.

So, which show is superior in this situation? Boy, this is a hard choice, since Loud House is still relatively new. Once again, you decide! Put in the comments section below on which show you think is better! On July 30th, I will determine which channel is better in the Breakdown Showdown! However, before that, I will have a tie breaker round in case the votes are even.
The Tie Breaker round will be on July 29th, and it's a bit of a surprise.

  1. In my opinion between We Bare Bears vs. The Loud House. I think the best show in my opinion is the Loud House because they have real characters instead of having monsters. Little Loud has to come through all challenges with an ocean.
