Remember The Amazing World of Gumball? That crazy cartoon about a blue cat, a goldfish with legs, and their wacky family living in the even wackier town of Elmore?
You probably watched it after school, laughing at their ridiculous adventures. But then, poof! It seemed to vanish.
The End of an Era (or Was It?)
The final episode, "The Inquisition," aired in 2019. It wasn’t exactly a final final episode, more like a cliffhanger.
