Cartoons that you think are overrated

So, I've been trying to find a way to make this thread for a while, but I'll just make it a direct statement thread. The point of the thread is just as the title suggests. My contribution, I guess I have two. Feel free to also give criticism to my thoughts and why you disagree if you do.

First up, Invader Zim. Okay, for real, guys, I don't get what's so great about this show. I've watched a few episodes here and there, and maybe because I didn't watch it when it first aired so I don't have the nostalgia goggles to really enjoy, but, really, it just seems more "LOL GUYS, ZANY THINGZ WITH SOME DARK ELEMENTS!!!! BUT MOSTLY ZANY THINGZZZZZZZ!!!!!" Which, I mean, I'm okay with that in Adventure Time and Regular Show, because those show's are great in their own right and I haven't had them shoved down my throat as one of the "best cartoons in a long time". I mean, really, I don't like Invader Zim. It feels off to me. Maybe it's not just the zany elements maybe that's not it at all. Maybe the show just doesn't appeal to me, but I still think that it's entirely overrated and it's really not all that dark.

Second, Teen Titans. Okay, so I watched this show when it did first air. I thought it was pretty good. Now, having gone back to it after having watched other super hero shows that came after it like the Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Even shows that pre-dated TT and watching them with more understanding like Batman: the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and JLU. Compared to all those shows, and just regular comics in general, Teen Titans just falls flat. Slade has no motive in Season 1, and when he comes back and does it's "Trigon stole my soul," which is just really dumb. It's decent at it's best but kinda bad at it's worst. Yet I hear some people say it's their favorite super hero show. One of my best friends says he still thinks it's the best super hero show ever because "it's my childhood" which pisses me off to no end. Maybe it's because I know so much more about comics and just better super hero shows that has kinda turned me off from Teen Titans, and I've heard a lot of people say they love Teen Titans so that's why I feel it's overrated.

So, Escapists, what are some of your cartoons that you feel are overrated.

inb4: A bunch of people say MLP:FiM. Which, I agree. It's overstayed it's welcome.
