Well Adventure Time has REALLY started to fall from grace. Though no surprise many of the most beloved early episodes were Rebecca Sugar episodes.

As for great... to each their own. I think the characters are pretty deep and they properly explore the relationships and concepts.

I mean Legend of Korra was "not as good as Avatar the Last Airbender" and it still was considered great. Heck it had one entire botched season that was just flat out bad.

Why does everyone love "Stephen Universe" so much? It's an ok show, but it's hardly great or groundbreaking.

A funny, somewhat entertaining show, with feminine overtones with a bunch of strong characters, good music, retro design, great songs (for a TV show), and a great story.

Certainly enough there to like.

It's not bad. It's not even not good. But it certainly isn't great. It's nowhere near the level of Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, My Little Pony, or (on a different note) Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever

okay can you actually elaborate instead of just saying what you think its quality is

i can't even begin to debate with an argument that is essentially "i don't think it's as good as these other things for reasons not given"

and that's not me yelling at anyone, that's me saying that I can't reasonably be expected to yell at anyone who hasn't really said anything that I can yell at in any coherent manner

Ehhhh I don't think you will get much out of that.

It is one thing to say why a show is great, why it is mediocre, or why it is terrible.

It is another to try to explain why a show is good, but not that good without just saying "it is overrated"

Steven Universe had basically one actual paranormal episode.

It has all paranormal episodes. The main characters are space aliens with a bizarre unearthly physiology.

I guess, in the same way that every episode of Superman is a paranormal episode.

And every episode of Pokémon is a paranormal episode.

Well, the way they would be if they explored the fiddly details of his superpowers, and Kryptonian culture, and the weird stuff he has stashed away in the Fortress of Solitude.


Edit:
Or better yet, more like the way every episode of Doctor Who is a paranormal episode.

I don't think paranormal means what you think it means.

Also, that sort of ignores the best part IMO, the slice-of-life stuff.

Yeah but!... err wait... yeah Steven Universe does have the best slice of life.

I mean (and I am being sarcastic here) Gravity Falls doesn't have great slice of life at all. I mean it does feature people living their lives, so it is clearly slice of life.

Also Gems don't really have "Alien physiology" they are gemstones that are able to project a hologram, with mass, that apes a living being.

Favorite animated shows on the air right now, in no particular order:
Archer
Adventure Time
Steven Universe
Gumball (somewhat of a guilty pleasure)
Phineas and Ferb

Not sure if Bojack Horseman counts as on the air but that one's surprisingly good too.
