"CN" killed itself when they decided to take the classic cartoons off the list.
1.) Power Puff Girls
2.) Dexter's Labratory
3.) Ed, Edd n' Eddy
4.) Courage the Cowardly Dog
5.) The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
6.) Tom and Jerry
At first I had hope for them, I thought that they would air even better cartoons in place of the 'already-good-original' cartoons, but my dreams were thrown out the window when I saw commercials for, "Dude, What Would Happen", "Bobby Says", the idiotic roller coaster quiz shows, people playing basketball on trampolines, those paranormal (children) investigators, whom probably shouldn't even be DEALING with that type of activity at that age, "The Garfield Show"... really? It's a total ripoff, and completely insulting Garfield by putting that worthless remake, computer animated cartoon up.
They have to realize that their shows disappear, JUST as fast as they come out. Now, they're going to take down "FlapJack" and "Chowder", and yet, they NEVER learn from their mistakes.

You fools are unaware of regular show and adventure time I guess.
Thundercats, Young Justice, Generator Rex, Mad TV you must not watch CN or else youd know these shows are killer. So stop your whining and actually tune in if you dont want live action.
I actually havent seen the live action stuff for awhile, guess theyll play it while waiting for more eps of the shows i mentioned
They should remove the "Cartoon" from their channel name and logo.
Wow even the creator of PPG is sad of the decline of cartoons and that's is saying something.

Oh, Cartoon Network. I remember being six years old, excitedly turning our satellite big screen tv to the channel (which I still remember, G14) and watching the best cartoons of the 90's. All the classic Cartoon Cartoons. In the beginning, there were three; Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and Dexter's Laboratory. Then came I Am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Mike Lu and Og, Sheep In The Big City...
I remember welcoming new ones even if they weren't quite as good as the older series, even occasionally going over to rival Nick to see shows like Kablam! and Hey! Arnold. I hated Nickelodeon for constantly rerunning their programs in a neverending time loop and not allowing any series to have a final episode (like Angry Beavers wanted to) but at least they still had some good cartoons here and there. They pushed Spongebob and strangled every last dollar they could out of it, but even that series stopped trying a few seasons in.
But the good ol CN is where it was at. It almost never let you down when you needed a cartoon fix. Even the commercials were good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRRl5XQXfTI
Remember that advert for Batman on CN where you first see flashes of a grinning Joker in the darkness? That sure as hell made me want to watch me some Batman, that's for sure. I remember when CN had this giveaway one year, where you would call in a number and try to win a prize each day. I tried in vain for hours for weeks trying to win something, I even got through once on the phone but nobody picked up.
I remember the very first non-cartoon i'd ever seen shown; Dumb & Dumber. Ugh. What a terrible decision, and a brooding omen of things to come. I am lucky enough to have Boomerrang and get to enjoy my favorite shows again, even if I have to put up with Pokeymon being on there too. Sadly, it's just not the same. It's heartbreaking to watch CN anymore.
One of my favorite things to do as a kid was go into a Hollywood Video and rent old VHS of cartoons, and seeing classing characters painted on the wall near the ceiling alongside rolls of film tape. I always thought that the classics would always be there on CN, and never thought the CN could have sunk so low.
So what happened? Well i'm sure the flood of anime didn't help. Why pay people to make a new original series when you can just take any japanese cartoon, edit it to horseshit, slap on horrid voice acting, and fill your network with it? Also, even the best cartoons faultered as they went on. Johnny got dumber and less funny, the animation for Suzy was a terrible change. (Along with the Penguin from Batman, anyone agree?)
The Eds? Don't get me started. Ed went from being funny and ready with a non sequitor to other characters barely acknowledging him because he's always screaming nonsense at everyone. The creator has this strange phobia of ever showing another character, so when they finally went back to school, they were in this strange dimension where they are the only people in the whole building. The Eds themselves can't seem to go five seconds without crashing into something or each other, and when I finally saw the movie when it aired on CN, it reenforced everything I hated about the show and then some. It was a sad letdown to such a promising series.
Ugh. Forgive me for pouring my heart out here, but the Cartoon Network we grew to love is officially dead. I'm going to watch the rest of this Dexter's Lab episode and remember the good old times. (And even now, it still makes me laugh. Dee Dee is holding a stuffed Monkey doll and says "What's that Monkey? Yes, I too see into the future.." (stares off into space while shapes and spirals swirl overhead).

Ha...
I actually am old enough to not only remember when MTV played videos, but when Cartoon Network only had Space Ghost Coast to Coast at 11 pm (and then flintstones the rest of the night) and no Cartoon Cartoons.
It's very sad to see yet another great channel disappear to the same stupid, stupid choices of the management....

My response is that Cartoon Network has been on the downward spiral for longer than a few years. Try about ten, and realize that I have not been back there since they cancelled Megas XLR, which would've breathed proper life back into the place. We all dig giant robots and it would've been a rocking good time, but no. They want to be a contradiction in terms like MTV, and plan their programs and stuff like the boobs at 'Siffy', the sci-fi channel that forgot how to spell or think.KeyMaster45 said:
No, this doesn't surprise me. I already knew that people were dumb and that among them, network executives were among the worst. I could go Yahtzee Frigging Croshaw on the whole deal, but I washed my hands of the asses some time ago, so nevermind. Just shoot the horse already.
I assume we are all adults here correct? What do we care what cartoon network does? Whatever is bet for kiddies is what I support. I can't begin to understand the shit the kiddies watch so I have no opinion on it. They can watch their my little pony and
Dora the Explorer all they want. I don't care. It's not my place as an adult to demand that a child's network cater to my tastes. We have adult swim for a reason after all.
