I've made my peace with them too, but by not watching them for a very long time. The prequels' Anakin is not at all my Anakin (you know, the one Ben described to Luke!) so I've unfortunately avoided Clone Wars as well to avoid reinforcing their portrayal of him. I've heard mixed things about it though, so I'm not sure how much I'm missing there.
I can certainly promise you a better Anakin than in the films. There were so many subtle ways that they showed his potential fall out with the jedi. And you could see his connection to both palpatine and with Tarkin.
The clone wars really did have my favorite versions of both Obi-wan and Anakin.
The problem (which is also the best thing about it) with the show is that it's more like "tales from the clone wars" than anything. It has such a large cast of characters that's it's able to focus on them all. There are episodes that deal entirely with people like Dooku. And he becomes a well written character. And the clones become the characters they need to be.
It's all very interwoven.
There's even a great episode where a clone crashes on a planet and he meets up with a fellow clone...who went AWOL and started a family. It's really great seeing it all fleshed out so well.
But it also means that there can be some very bad episodes. Skip anything that centres on Jar jar or droids
