The life of Gumball Watterson, a 12-year old cat who attends middle school in Elmore. Accompanied by his pet, adoptive brother, and best friend Darwin Watterson, he frequently finds himself involved in various shenanigans around the city, during which he interacts with various family members: Anais, Richard, and Nicole Watterson, and other various citizens.

If you loved The Amazing World of Gumball, the closest series we have are Phineas and Ferb (2007), Frasier (1993) and Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia (2016). All three share The Amazing World of Gumball's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010).
