Cartoon Network. I hate you

[Diligent]

Just the other night I walked into the room and my brother was watching Spiderman 2 on CARTOON Network. Spiderman 2 is not a cartoon.

I don't know man. When you consider how many fully CG animated scenes are in that movie, it almost has as much right to play on a cartoon network as Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Might have live actors in it, but half of it is animation.

 

[Zorg Machine]

While the awesome shows are a thing of the past, at least they haven't stooped to the level of disney channel.

I used to love cartoon network. Ever since toonami started airing nothing new except Naruto, I've had little reason to watch it. Now the only things I watch are Adventure Time and comedy central standup.

They killed the idol from my childhood *SNIF* I'll always miss you tonnami!

 

[natster43]

I hate that they only play kids Anime in the morning around 8, I want to watch Pokemon, but I can't due to school or waking up at 11. They als air more crappy show then good ones now, and also aired a lot of stupid live actions show that were crap, though Destroy Build Destroy with Andrew W K was pretty good.

Yea they canceled "Batman: Brave and the Bold"
And now all they have is a bunch of shitty reality shows.

FUCK YOU CARTOON NETWORK

Huh...? Its still on, new episodes too. The one this past Friday involved Batman teaming up with the "Doom Patrol".

Yeah I just looked it up to confirm it, it is in no way cancelled. I guess people are jumping to conclusions with a lot of things.

They NEVER showed the cell saga of dbz ,they would just show the friza saga the skip to half way thru of the buu saga.so i never got to see the cell saga because they took it off after they finished the buu saga.

Huh... I remember seeing the Cell Saga on Toonami.

I wasn't saying it was never on there but around the time I started watching DBZ,thats what was going on.

Cartoon Network used to be so awesome. They had GOOD anime and awesome shows like samurai jack, megas xlr, justice league unlimited and so many others. Now...now its just garbage. Cheaply made garbage. G4 took the same route from awesome to,*G4 boss gets smashed in the head with a frying pan* "Hey if we show cops 20 hours a day people will love us!"

Regular Show and Mad are 15 minutes long and, I haven't seen many new episodes of Chowder. Also, What happened to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends?

Another gripe: How did Ed Edd n' Eddy survive so long but Dexter's Lab and, Johnny Bravo not?

edit: Also: Why do they play Tom and Jerry but not the Looney Tunes!? Everything Tom and Jerry have done was also done by the Looney Tunes only better. Cartoon Network is also showing live action shows. You are Cartoon Network, a network for cartoons! It's really hard to screw that up and yet there you go!

Uh, Ed, Edd and Eddy got renewed only for an extra season or two in comparison to the aforementioned shows. And why? Because it's a god tier show on that network.

I used to have a pretty big disdain for CN, but there are four things making me watch it lately:
1. Sym-Bionic Titan
2. Regular Show
3. Adventure Time
4. Monday thru Friday airings of Ed, Edd and Eddy

Still waiting on a complete box set release for E,E & E though. I don't see why PPG got one and not the former.

 

[Berserker119]

Every show I ever loved as a kid got cancelled.

Every show I ever loved as a kid got cancelled.

And you can still see them on boomerang.

Yeah, it was announced, during Comicon 2010 though, that after Season 3 the show will end, but right now we're still in the midst of season 2.

Well then that is a far way off and doesn't seem to be cartoon networks idea to cancel it, it is just has a planed ending from the studio. Thats not such a bad thing provided it gets there, Spectacular Spider man was intended to be about 60 episodes but got canceled after 2 sessions do to poor viewership and the Disney buy out, and let me tell you that sort of thing sucks.

2 Stupid Dogs...

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

You do know I did an entire fucking thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.209746-Cartoons-of-the-90s] on this subject yes?

FYI Ed, Edd, n' Eddy was renewed by Nickelodeon and is scheduled to air next year sometime.
Warner Bros has released multiple collections of their older 90's shows on DVD.
Finally, for those of you being pissed that CN cancelled shows that were doing great... Well the creators of the show signed a contract with CN saying 7 years of that show, and then you're done.

 

[RaikuFA]

ever since SWAT Kats was cancelled CN has done downhill.

the kicker, swat kats was cancelled because ted turner didnt like how violent it was and said captain planet was better for everyone

 

[RheynbowDash]

I swear to god, let me run CN's programming for ONE day, i guarantee i could bring in more revenue then they could in a month.

Animaniacs
Tiny Toon Adventures
Dexter's Lab
Powerpuff Girls
Samurai Jack
Reboot (Back when Toonami had this on every day)
Swat Kats

And i know Disney would never allow it but:
Ducktales
Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers
Talespin
Bonkers
Darkwing Duck

 

[zombie711]

I dare you to name one good show still on Caritoon Network (well, I mean like premiering ones with NEW episodes so no Courage reruns, etc.)

Sym-bionic Titan. It's made by the same guy that created Samurai Jack. It has had to hand fighting, humor, great visuals, the sound effects of Samurai Jack and The Power Puff Girls, and giant robots. And I shit you not my good sir that this new show balances everything just perfect: humor and action and big and small fighting, etc.

but really which giant robot show would you watch

 

[Gudrests]

they still have adventure time and regular show

thats 2 things...and thoes things scare me....
