Why It's Very Funny

 * 1) It was the world's first all-comedy network. All comedies. All the time, and it succeeded being a VERY funny channel.
 * 2) It has every program genre like black comedy, sitcom, slapstick, mockumentary, physical comedy, sketch comedy, surreal humor and of course, spoof.
 * 3) The comedy channel made a breakthrough when South Park (its iconic program) premiered in 1997. It became the first major basic cable show to carry the TV-MA rating for mature audiences as the show was too controversial to be picked up by a mainstream network.
 * 4) It airs great syndicated shows like The Cleveland Show, The Office (US), Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, Parks and Recreation and especially MADtv.
 * 5) Besides South Park, they had many other good shows such as Drawn Together, Futurama (the final three seasons for Fox), Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Man Show.
 * 6) Its 1997 city logo was well-received. The logos from 1991, 1992, and 2000 were also similar city logos to the 1997 one.
 * 7) * It also has a new logo style since 2011, which is decent. The first logo was a black big cross Cs, and the current logo since 2018 has the same big cross Cs, but its now yellow.
 * 8) It spawned international counterparts like Canada's The Comedy Network and Israel's HOT Comedy Central.
 * 9) It has its own film division, mh:greatestmovies:Comedy Central Films, which was founded in 1995, although their first film, mh:greatestmovies:South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, was released in 1999.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The network has aired some bad and/or mediocre shows like mh:terribletvshows:Legends of Chamberlain Heights, mh:terribletvshows:Lil' Bush and mh:terribletvshows:Brickleberry.
 * 2) They've gone downhill in its later years:
 * 3) * Much to their sense of irony, they still air shows that mock SJWs or make fun of woke agenda like South Park.
 * 4) * Saberspark said that once the infamous series mh:terribletvshows:Fairview was released, the network had officially hit rock bottom.
