Does anyone here watch Craig of the Creek?
I've only watched the first season, but I think it's a pretty wholesome cartoon so far, and that it's an improvement on some of the things that have been on Cartoon Network in the past few years.
The fact the kids are always exploring the local wilderness is nice to see, and the show touches on problems that children experience in a realistic way, such as Kelsey living with her dad and Craig's strained relationship with his older brother.
The art style is also quite cute and easy on the eyes, and the animation seems a bit different from other things on Cartoon Network right now. Some aspects of it remind me of the cartoons that used to be on when I was younger, but it's still relatively unique.
It also references a lot of games and other hobbies from real life, with sometimes amusing accuracy to details and habits relating to them. There's an entire episode about the kids playing a Pokemon/MTG-esque card game where Craig takes cards from his older brother, who was saving them to sell later. There's also another one where Craig tries to beat his dad at a fighting game, so the "Elders of the Creek" (AKA some geeky teenagers) help him practice and one of them starts teaching him about frame data.
Overall, I think it's one of more interesting cartoons that has come out recently, and one that is also a good example for kids since the characters have actual consequences for the things they do, and eventually learn to handle situations in relatively healthy ways.
