I don't think that nearly all of the cards that are used in the TV series never make it to the trading card game. There are still plenty of anime only cards in 5D's, but most of the cards used by the main characters and most of the villains are made into cards. I can't think of any recent cards that have been downgraded so much to the point where they're hard to use though.
I'm sorry, but that isn't true at all. There are plenty of differences between Chaotic and all of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Chaotic focuses more on the kids playing the card game among themselves, actually transporting to the world where the creatures live and become the creatures in battle. While there are real and holographic monsters in each Yu-Gi-Oh! series, the characters don't really become the monsters and rarely go to where Duel Monsters live. There's also the fact that most of the arcs involve the characters dueling in order to save their friends and/or the world, which hasn't really happened in Chaotic.
4Kids is the one who created it and that happened before the issue between Konami and Upper Deck came up if I remember correctly.
As for this list, I thought that it was one of the worst "worst show" lists I've seen. I didn't think that the person who made this list did a good job with the reasoning for most of these shows. These are the ones that I had issues with the most.
Super Hero Squad: I've seen a few episodes and I don't think that it's that bad. It's a comedy action series, so it won't be totally serious like past superhero cartoons. If you're expecting a well done drama/action series, then one would be disappointed with this show. But it isn't trying to be dramatic. It's trying to appeal more to the comedy perspective. While I don't find the humor too funny, it is a fairly harmless show and I see it more as a show I would watch if there was nothing else on.
Winx Club: What surprised me the most was that she called the Winx Club girls superheroes and being terrible at crime fighting. The girls aren't going to that school to become superheroes, but to develop and increase their powers. The main cast of girls aren't what I would call crime fighters. They fight villains, but only those affecting their school and/or the world. They don't go after every kind of criminal. While the designs aren't that great, it is a pretty fun show if you just relax and try not to argue too much with it. Though, I'll give her that most of the girls' personalities aren't that well developed.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: This is one show that I especially disagreed with. While 5D's isn't perfect, I think that it is one of the better toyetic series out there now. I really don't think that the introduction of the Duel Runner and Turbo Duels made the show look bad. Sure, the idea of playing a card game while riding on a motorbike sounds pretty lame, but it actually added something new to the game, along with Synchro monsters. That might have been one reason why GX wasn't that great since it didn't add anything new to the game itself.
I also don't think that the cast of 5D's is worse than Duel Monsters. In fact, I think that they have a better cast. Among the original cast, only Yugi/Atem, Joey and Kaiba actually stood out. With 5D's, they've actually made female duelists who are important to the plot and gives most of the important characters equal or close to equal focus/development. That's something that neither DM or GX could really do well.
I'm also not sure why she thinks that the rules are that confusing. It probably helps that I've been watching since DM, but one could easily learn the rules to the game by just watching the series. Granted, the Duelist Kingdom arc didn't have much of any rules, but they did a better job after that arc. Plus, I don't think that the rules for Yu-Gi-Oh! are anywhere near as confusing as Bakugan.
American Dragon: Even though there are some similarities between this show and Juniper Lee, I always preferred American Dragon. I agree that Juniper Lee had better animation and fights, at least compared to season one of American Dragon, but I wasn't attracted to the characters. It just always annoyed me that Juniper and most of her friends could pass for being teenagers in high school when they were in elementary school.
I also prefer the designs for season two. At least Jake actually looked like a dragon in season two. I never did like how his dragon form in season one looked for some reason. It also doesn't sound like she did much research, though the stuff about Winx Club made that pretty clear, since she didn't realize all of the different duties Jake has as the American Dragon. I'm also pretty sure Juniper had to deal with small issues right with the big fight scenes.
Season two made American Dragon much more enjoyable to me. There was a better focus on the plot, a nice handle on the Jake/Rose relationship up until the finale and they had pretty interesting ideas for some of the magical creatures they dealt with. I also find it funny that she mentions that it still airs on Disney Channel, which is true, but it airs at three in the morning where I live. Not too many kids are awake at that time.
Chaotic: While I agree that the rules aren't too clear in Chaotic at first, seeing more of the battles gives one a better understanding of the game. I thought that season one was pretty weak, but both season two and three have been much more enjoyable. At least there's more going on than just drome battles episode after episode and they're exploring the world of Perim. Granted, it could be better, but I don't think that it's as boring as she makes it out to be. Though, it probably helps that she doesn't give a clear reason why she thinks it's boring.
Johnny Test: I understand that there are some similarities between this show and Dexter's Lab, but I definitely don't think that it covers 75% of the episodes' plots. There are enough differences between the two so that Johnny Test isnt' just a carbon copy of Dexter's Lab.
I also really don't think that Cartoon Network airs it so often is because it's so cheap to air. I think that it has more to do with the fact that it has such good ratings. If it didn't do at least somewhat well, I don't think that they would air it so often. I also find it funny and sad when she says that they air Johnny Test approximately twenty hours per day and label it as a rough estimate when that's just a pathetic exaggeration.
I've seen Johnny Test and while the humor isn't my cup of tea and Johnny himself can be annoying, it isn't a terrible show. It's like one of those shows you watch for the heck of it. It obviously appeals to a lot of kids though.
The only show that I do agree with being on the list is The Proud Family. It was a pretty poor show. It was mainly because most of the cast wasn't likable and there wasn't a lot of growth among the characters, even by the finale, in my eyes. While I agree that the abuse Oscar suffered was another negative aspect of the show, I don't remember him being obsessed with get rich quick schemes or inventing stuff similar to Dexter's Lab.
I think what annoys me is that the person here really thinks that these shows make kids dumber. I haven't heard any actual facts about shows damaging kids, or anyone for that matter, in terms of their intelligence. It just seems like a harsh way to describe shows that the person here didn't really like. If it was just something like "My Top 10 Least Favorite Modern Cartoon Series", then at least it wouldn't appear so immature, especially when she clearly gets her facts wrong, thus weakening her argument.
