2009 (for Worst Years wiki)

A list of the worst things that happened in 2009.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It wasn't a good way to end the 2000's decade.
 * 2) This year and 2010 (the next year for a decade) weren't good years for live-action films based on anime (Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender).
 * 3) Cartoon Network went downhill when the CN Real block aired. Thankfully, it left May 2010.
 * 4) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was the first film in the Transformers franchise to get negative reviews, and be nominated at the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and Dragonball Evolution should have also been nominated at the 30th Golden Raspberry Awards.
 * 5) The rest of the second half got worse after Michael Jackson passed away in June.
 * 6) Many terrible shows like Kid vs. Kat, Glenn, Martin, DDS, Fanboy & Chum Chum, and the Season 7 premiere of SpongeBob (Good Neighbors (TV Episode 2005)) started the downfall of SpongeBob.
 * 7) As with BQ#6, Glenn Martin, DDS caused Nickelodeon (aired on Nick at Nite and Nicktoons) to go downhill.
 * 8) In December 2009, PBS Kids Sprout began going downhill (and went worse in the 2010's until it rebranded as Sprout in 2013, and Universal Kids in 2017) when Kevin left The Sunny Side Up Show, saying that he wasn't going to be hosting with Chica anymore. He continued to voice Ricky in The Sprout Sharing Show until the program block closed in 2014.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Some good movies like Monsters VS Aliens (despite being a box-office bomb), Pixar's Up, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and The Princess and the Frog.
