Cartoon Network. I hate you

[Souplex]

....i miss the 90's...cartoons and cartoon studios didn't suck back thien.

You can blame Pokeymanns and the Japanime invasion that followed in its wake.

after the removal of toonami, i have never been as interested in CN again.

i lost interest when they started fucking with it and moved it to Saturdays only, now,
fuck CN, ALL the good shows are gone, replaced with crap, don't even watch adult swim, but, i've also have forsaken TV on the whole

 

[Plazmatic]

No one likes Cartoon Network and with good reason. They seem to have forgotten that the word "Cartoon" is in their name. But they haven't put out a good show since Teen Titans. It's almost as if they don't try anymore. Adult Swim is no better. All the awesome Williams Street stuff and the kickass anime they used to show, have been replaced with crappy FOX animation shows like Futurama and Family Guy. Annoying as it is, I'd let it slide if the block wasn't also still pushing Tim and Eric shit, despite the enormous amount of hate mail they receive for keeping those two untalented doofs on the air. And then they green light shit like Squidbillies, Assy McGee and 120z Mouse in an effort to appease the handful of viewers who possess the necessary brain damage to think Tim and Eric are funny. I haven't really paid a great deal of attention of CN or AS lately, for obvious reasons. I don't know if those shows are still running. But considering CN is more tone deaf to it's audience than Barack Obama is to his voters, it would not surprise me if those idiotic shows were being picked up for 7th or 8th seasons...

Robot Chicken is the only watchable show, but you can see their best stuff on their youtube channel. Sadly we mourn the loss of truly hilarious shows like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021.

Tim and Eric: Awful Show, Good God! is easily the worst show in the history of television.

There are two good shows CURRENTLY RUNNING on adult swim, Venture bros, and Boondocks.

Well, there was the fact that they got rid of Megas, as you said. And then there's all that Ben 10 bullshit...

But that one Canadian cartoon, I forget what it's called, about a reality TV show is pretty good... And they ended Ed, Edd and Eddy on a spectacular movie, so it's about even.

CN is actually starting to get much better now. Sym-Biotic Titan is an excellent show, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. is absolutely fantastic. While I don't really dig Adventure Time/Regular Show, I appreciate that they are quality shows (for the record I prefer Regular Show). I feel I have to mention Generator Rex and Ben 10 as well, I hate them but at least they aren't total crap.


Batman: The Brave and the Bold is NOT CANCELED. The new season of Batman just started, I can't believe the amount of people saying that it is. They show new episodes of it on Fridays, along with Sym-Biotic Titan.

Anyone who says CN sucks is just bitter about canceled shows. Yes, it sucks CN canceled a bunch of good shows, but give them a chance. I'm more mad at the people that didn't watch the shows than the people that canceled them. I mean, they're a business what are they going to do. Apparently, they are a bunch of people that aren't watching the brilliant shows (Batman, Scooby, Sym-Biotic) on CN based on the comments on this thread. There's pretty much no buzz on those shows, yet they are on par or better than some of the shows people are complaining about. It just seems so hypocritical. Watch the shows maybe we might be able to keep them. Gah! Sorry for the rant, it makes me so mad.

It's weird that at the time CN started airing awful reality and live-action programs like "Unnatural History" and "Dude, What Would Happen" good cartoons started to appear. They should get rid of the live-action/reality shows it really undermines the quality cartoons they're getting.

Cartoon Network has been crap for ages ever since they dropped their commercials with Droopy and Shaggy in a convertible bragging about cartoons 24/7 and moved on to shitty reality shows.
They dropped the great classics and moved on to crap,

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!

I believe Dexters creator moved on to Power Puff Girls, then before long Samurai Jack, then Fosters Home, he didn't really focus on one project too long. Which is a shame because a ending to Samurai Jack would have been nice.

Samuri Jack and Dexter was made by Genndy Tartakovsky, but Fosters was Craig McCracken

Whoops haha, well either way. :\

 

[MDSnowman]

The only thing on Cartoon Network I still watch is Venture Bros.

CN deserves a flogging for getting rid of Toonami and moving all the anime so damn late normal people aren't going to watch it.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Yes, I despize Cartoon Network, I only watch when Adult Swim is on, but now they are putting up live action stuff. It's only a matter of time....

That avatar. It made me laugh. Loudly. Thank you.

Anyway, I think it's safe to say that Cartoon Network went down the shitter when Johnny Bravo left its programming schedule and anything after that was just gasping for air. Of course, I'm not including Adult Swim in this assessment, as that would require quite a lot more writing to describe.

 

[Thaius]

American cartoons in general suck these days. There have been exceptions, like the wonderfully bizarre and creative Invader Zim and the fantasy masterpiece Avatar: The Last Airbender, but beyond that there hasn't been much quality since Recess. And considering neither of the shows I mentioned were on Cartoon Network, I'm going to say I simply don't care. They haven't done anything to specifically offend me, I just see no real quality there.

also Craig McCracken made power puff girls not Genndy. also check out power puff girls z and tell me if you cry and/or rage.

the girls are no longer related and no longer have super powers ( they have super suites and weponds. also NOBODY knows their superheroes

 

[teutonicman]

They killed Samurai Jack...

Oh, how I weep for his chiselled Japanese jawline...

52, 52 episodes of awesome and that's it, that's all she wrote.

(Below is a lost letter from Cartoon Network to its fans)
FUCK YOU

Sincerely,
Cartoon Network

P.S. Where canceling Toonami so suck it.

 

[Ensiferum]

Watch Adventure Time. It's the most original show that I've ever seen on CN.

 

[DarkPanda XIII]

Cartoon Network has so far just done what everyone else has done, hitched onto the bandwagon that the populous seems to want to see....for that I blame Real World and Survivor...even though the first Survivor was funny as hell.

But really though..they should have kept it where it was going originally with Courage, Powerpuff girls (not my tastes, but I see why people like it), Samurai 'f-ing' JACK, Dexter's Laboratory before they changed artists...etc. >.>

 

[Kyogissun]

Lots of unjustified hatred going on in here. >o>

 

[k-ossuburb]

I've personally found that the rapid decline in quality for cartoons since the 90's classics is what lead most people to watch more anime in search of the cult classics people of my generation were used to. As much as I miss the old shows from my day like Ren And Stimpy, Courage, Johnny Bravo, Beatlejuice, Earthworm Jim, Animaniacs, The Tic, Batman Forever and Gargoyles; their departure has drawn me over to love other classics and inspired me to try to revive the old 90's style by attempting to writing my first comic. (As soon as me and my co-writer can find the time between her moving house and me being snowed under with work, that is).

 

[Mariakitten]

I havent even glanced at them since they got rid of that anime block, come to think of it I'm not sure I even get the channel anymore.

A snip that should never be seen

[HEADING=1]WHUT DER FOOK JUS HAPPENED?!?![/HEADING]

*Cue mega rage*

 

[Terminate421]

Its called Cartoon Network, what the fuck is with the reality shows?

MegasXLR was a master piece, why'd they have to get rid of it

 

[strum4h]

Megas XLR was the best show. I have all the episodes on my PC.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

they still have adventure time and regular show

And Courage and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Generator Rex and Sym-Biotic Titan.
