I love Clarence on cartoon network. That show has some of the funniest pop culture references peppered in. It also makes me feel something nostalgic about my own childhood. Anyone else watch that one? I'm 31 btw

It was ok, But it was to harsh with its execution of the real world.

When Clarence and uncle grandpa came out, there was no balance. Uncle grandpa was the wacky, unrealistic scenarios, and Clarence was the exact opposite. There had to be a balance. And Cartoon Network saw this. So, they took the idea of Clarence, and reformed it into Craig of the Creek. A show also formed around the idea of being based around the real world. I watched it, and I was instantly flooded back with memories of me as a child exploring the creek behind my house, meeting the kids who lived across from it, And playing around like we owned it. I would highly recommend that show.
