Thank god my cable package comes with Boomerang (For those who don't know, it's Cartoon Network's old school cartoon channel) and I can still catch all the old stuff that actually entertained me. Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry, and all the awesome stuff that used to show all the time on Cartoon Network are still there, plus they apparently just added a Dexter block, so if you want things from before the new, brain damaged executives of Cartoon Network took over, Go there.
Btw, does anyone else think someone from 4kids ended up getting the lead for Cartoon Network? They seem so accomplished with destroying anything good, I just assumed it was one of them.

Personally, I think the anime is what helped to kill it. I grew up with Cartoon Network, and I remember when it only consisted of the good-ol-American slapstick cartoons. Cartoon Network used to be dedicated to all things classic, and it managed to throw in something new now and again as well as some work from independent cartoonists. Now... I don't even want to think about it...infernovolver said:

Well, some anime was in good fashion used, but yes, it went from well-written american slapstick and independant cartooning, to prideful and distasteful rating jumpers based on the most unintelligent dribble and script writing. Not to sound insulting, but as far as I've seen, the current three cartoon titans all of which being Total Drama, Flapjack, and Surf's Up, could be written while stoned and asleep. The basic plots of two being basically sitting around doing nothing, then with a sort of ironic commercial, telling you to get active. Total Drama uses mass stereotypes, and though it was funny as the Island, it began to get reptitive near the end, and the re-release of Sixteen was a quick rating hop to get past the lower ranks of the ratings. Currently, as far as entertainment value goes, I prefer SyFy [Sci-Fi channel had it's name changed to sound more Hip, hopefully it will not be next. *Misses Doctor Who*] at the moment to fufill my fiction feed, except for Metalpocolypse [Find it funny such brain dead people can keep killing thousands of people legally]. Cartoon Network is swirling the drainpipes and unless it removes it's current programming schedule and replaces it with something far more intelligent, I'm afraid it will soon lose most of it's funding for new shows and become more reality related. Also Inuyasha Dude, very nice script. I laughed when I saw that, and quite agree that is most likely what happened. However, Reality in itself can be great if it has a well written script. As I mentioned earlier, if any of you were alive at the time, Nickolodean used to run several real reality shows as well as several active game shows, one being Camp Salute Your Shorts, which had several characters and when I think about it, seems quite similar to the plot of Total Drama Island without the elimination. Another being the Legends Of The Hidden Temple which taught a good bit of history, had a good amount of action, and was very enjoyable and surprising to watch[Always wanted to be on that show]. A final one was Pete And Pete, about two brothers who had miscellanious adventures in a small burg of a city, from getting a vitamin stuck up his nose and discharging it with static electricity to meeting a giant man in an ice cream cone mascot costume and somehow getting good advice from him. Even today, the shows of reality cannot compare to the shows of old. Take Doug for instance, another classic that was removed before it's time. When you look at old shows and new, you notice a trend of scripts, and seem to find a lot of ideas completely and utterly recycled. Shows like Robot Chicken, degrading the overall enjoyability of these old shows. All in all, it's things like this that make me buy Season DVDs, because I find as time goes on, television is becoming less enjoyable. I don't know about you, but man, childhood in about ten years is going to probably remind me of being a toddler at this rate. With all the dumbing down, simplification, retroactive word association, censoring, and language restructuring, it will become a world of Teletubbies and kids with a two digit IQ as a standard. That also includes children in the "No Child Left Behind Act", while bringing to the table a great idea, the way they do it is quite flawed. You don't push the child forward, you teach him how to. The old proverb being "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll be able to eat the rest of his life".
It was the channel that introduced me to anime via DBZ for that I will miss it. R.I.P Cartoon Network
Alas poor cartoon network we knew you
a channel of infinite jokes and most excellent shows.
it made us laugh a thousand times
and now how horrid it is, my bile rises at it.
Seriously this network held all the shows I held dear as a kid, Dexter's laboritory, Johny bravo, megas xlr, hell it even introduced me to anime with shows like fullmetal alchemist and Neon Genesis Evangelion, and now it's just monsterous shit heap...

I don't see what's surprising. Mtv doesn't play music videos anymore; I don't even think M2 plays music videos any more and that was the channel that they made on the side just for music videos.
Cartoon network peaked a while ago; the only thing they got left worth viewing are a few things on adult swim: Venture Bros, Boondocks, and Robot Chicken. It's too bad, for a while they were on top of things, they even had the best anime on tv: Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, DBZ but what I'm guessing is that they got new leadership that wants to fund friends of theirs.
It's kind of like how the mayor of nyc has made things very comfortable for his landlord friends by giving them insane tax cuts.

Yeah, what the hell was up w/ that?AboveUp said:
OT: I miss Foster's and I kinda like Chowder, but Cartoon Network has been rotting for a long time... ever since Toonami got fucked over.
they just fucked themselves in the ass doing that. some stupid show called
"Dude what would happen" was aired some kids with the IQ of a sesame seeds do stupid stuff like fill a punching bag with whip cream and see what happens if the smash into it? does that make any sense at all ? if you haven't taken basic physics you would know that the fucking bag would bust just like there stupid air filled brains. the only okay shows that are on are flapjack and chowder because of there slapstick comedy attempts portraying that its hard being a kid which is the only good moral this network has shown plus its rediculus how i have to wake up at 5:00 to watch a actual original show tom and jerry.
hopefully they drop this shithole of a act they call a television station

this is what happens when you let soccer moms run the show. However the people at adult swim will just buy it out because the viewers for that are 10x the amount that actually watches the network during the day
Cartoon Network's been dying since they stopped showing Looney Tunes, cancelled Dexter's Lab, gave Johnny Bravo the axe and they ran out of Ed, Edd n' Eddy cartoons.
This is just the funeral service to CN's demise.

You know the nail is in the coffin when they change the name of the network. As soon as they do that its over because they are trying to get away from their roots. Cartoon Network becomes the CN. SciFi becomes SyFy. A&E went from Arts & Entertainment to "The Art OF Entertainment". The Discovery Channel became..."Blue collar workers weld shit together and cut down stuff" Channel. etc...
And hey guess what?
Almost all of them are under MTv Networks. Those cock suckers.
ahh well.

And I saw it as a good sign that they released this after the abomination that was KND.
Damn, I guess I really underestimated the following cartoon network had here. I think back to my childhood, spending the afternoons at my grandma's watching loony toons along-side shows like a pup named scooby-doo, swat kats, and batman.
We as the generation that grew up on the creative boom of the 90's can only look on and sigh with regret as we see yet another artistic medium be pulled down into the sea of mediocrity by the scourge reality television. The cartoons of today no longer inspire children to be the best they can be, to act with honor and justice. Nearly all the cartoons I remember watching as I grew up had heroes in them; and I believe that is what is lacking in the animated medium of today.
Creators are so caught up in making shows & cartoons that are relate-able to the younger viewers that somewhere along they way they forgot the medium they work in is suppose to be fun for the viewer to watch. Nearly every cartoon that plays now has some kind of shallow teen drama added to it or is simply just 30 minutes of abstract craziness that occasionally has repercussions in a later episode.
To be bluntly honest I feel the era of animated series has ended, or rather came to an end some time ago when (at least the U.S.) decided it was to mature; no that's not right, decided it was to young or incapable of dealing with cartoons that had cross-dressing wiley wabbits, or urban warfare using a pimped out jet in a city populated by cat people, even the world's greatest detective has had his world "lightened up" from the dark crime infested city he sworn to protect.
Friends, associates, and trollz; in the realm of televison The Bat's wings have been clipped, The Turbokat has been grounded, and Wabbit Season has come to a close. As our generation forges ahead into the future it is our duty to fix what has been done and bring back the creativity and wonder to the field of animated series.

Cartoon Network has been dying a slow, painful death since they stopped playing Dexter's Lab ... and Loony Tunes ... -sigh- it can't be a 'cartoon' network if it stops airing cartoons!
