Every show or special worked on by Williams Street (to my knowledge), where they are credited as “Cartoon Network” or “Cartoon Network Productions”

This list is incomplete, it’s just the ones I know. I’ll update it if any commenters notify me:

Toonheads

The Popeye Show

Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Cartoon Planet

The Bob Clampett Show

Run it Back (much later than most shows on this list)

The Scooby-Doo Project

Night of the Living Doo

The Venture Bros. (This one is the strangest as it is literally an [adult swim] show, so crediting them as Cartoon Network certainly is… a choice. This was changed starting with Season 6.)

Shin doesn’t usually show attraction to his teachers - but there are always exceptions…

I find it crazy that it took until later airings for CN United States to censor this episode. It was initially broadcast uncensored, with a TV-Y7 rating.

If you can name this character, you are in the top 1% of CN fans

Yes, he is official. No, he is not “black Dexter”.

“Shin Chan isn’t for kids in Japan!”

Yes. Yes it is. Assuming you’re talking about the anime.

The anime was always targeted at children. Yes, some JP parents didn’t like it. Like how parents in the US didn’t like Captain Underpants. It isn’t different.

The manga is a different story. It‘s target audience is adult males… sort of.

A bunch of stories are missing from Volume 1 of the manga because they were more mature, and the anime was going to come out. In addition, Japan has an edited “Junior“ version of the manga, made so that kids as young as kindergarten can read and understand it. In fact, Shin Chan’s manga was moved from Manga Action to Manga Town. And while Manga Town is still a seinen (adult men) magazine, it considered a more general audience-oriented version that anyone can pick up and read.

They literally sell Shin Chan workbooks for preschoolers.

And the final nail in the coffin for those who don’t believe me. This is a list of Shogakukan publications that have re-printed the Shin Chan manga (in an edited form):

  • Mebae (めばえ): A magazine specifically for toddlers aged 2–4.
  • Yoichien (幼稚園): The flagship kindergarten magazine for 4–6 year olds.
  • Shogaku Ichinensei (小学一年生): Targetted at children in their first year of elementary school
  • Shogaku Ninensei (小学二年生): For second graders.
  • Shogaku Sannensei (小学三年生): For third graders.

And also, another piece of misinformation is that “Shin Chan has been pushed to kids recently, in the last 10 years or so, but it wasn’t always like that in Japan!

Mebae has been re-publishing the Shin manga SINCE 1992!

’Nuff said.

I mean… it has animated boobs AND live-action ones, both presented in a sexual manner.

I don’t think kids seeing boobs is a problem, though usually the MPAA gives an R for that kinda thing.
