Well really Raxer92 this thing is talking about the condition of CN that was how it was started and it seems only negitive stuff is being sad. All true, so why do you have a problem with that. Go somewhere else plz.raxer92 said:
Now that that is out of the way. Yes Cartoon Network has indeed gone down hill. All they really have Ben 10 and Robot Chicken as the high end stuff with nothing else to hang there hat on. Even Bleach isn't enough to satisfy anime fans. Time to move on it seems.
What A Cartoon was excellent. A friend of mine showed me an old cartoon from that line to show me where Family Guy originated from. I completely forgot about it, but apparently What A Cartoon had a Seth McFarlane toon that already featured the idea of a dumb guy owning a smart dog, using the same voices as the Family Guy version:Snotnarok said:

Pretty much all the good What A Cartoon stuff came from the first run. Heck, if I remember correctly the first 3 What A Cartoon episodes were Dexter's Lab, Cow n Chicken and Johnny Bravo. All of them became long running shows. All of them a brilliant as the next.
Brilliant? To say the least, there was a lot of wit and charm to those shows..and just hidden dirty jokes but they were all fun to watch.AboveUp said:
I remember the "family guy pilot", I recall him saying he was working out the kinks and there's even a line where the old guy says "Next time we'll try Stewies".
The magic has run out and cartoon network had decided to add more money to it's money swimming pool by cashing in on reality TV and disney like sitcoms.
I refuse to call it "CN"
To me it was, is, and always will be Cartoon Network, andything else is wrong
And it died a looooong time ago. It started with Toonami going from a show that was on all week, to a show on saturday nights, to a quiet, sad, death.
And then more fell.
Whoever cancelled Samurai Jack deserves to die a slow, painful death.
It still graciously airs Ed, Edd, n' Eddy now and then, and even Courage the Cowardly dog if you are lucky, but that is all that's left of a once great network.

it's a shame i loved that channel growing up. i voted for billy & mandy one summer and i always felt like there was a little bit of myself in that channel. reality television isn't just killing 'the CN' it's ruining decent television. except for 'the soup' it almost makes it all worthwhile.
i loved it when i was a kid, watching looney toons at 6 am. Then they took it away. I was sad, until they got new shows like teen titans. LOVED THAT SHOW. Now they have reality shows. Makes no sense. Its a CARTOON CHANNEL, not reality channel.
Pretty much this. Anything worth watching on Cartoon Network like Metalacolypse is on Adult Swim. I do wish they focused a bit more on anime, though; I know I can find it online easily and I do like their original programming, but Adult Swim did a great job of introducing people to series like FLCL and Death Note. Hell, they had the guts to show Evangelion at all on American TV.DrDeath3191 said:
They changed it to CN so that it would be easier to txt to your other 11 year old friends what channels are okay to watch. But seriously, my friend keeps Cartoon network on alot of the time. It's not that he's particually interested in the antics of the kids on "Stoked", but because he's not watching it and keeps it on for adult swim (soon to be changed to AS). And you got to know that they do have cartoons still, but they are cartoon versions of a reality show and a Mtv soul rape show. And isn't kind of funny that the majority of their cartoons are either anime, or targeted to adults? Also Nck (easy to txt) has always had live shows [pete and pete anyone?] but they are no longer even doing the shitty kid sitcom anymore. And I'm glad the talents jumping ship.
Oh man, I completely forgot about that cartoon. It's every bit as borderline schizophrenic as Family Guy, too. Erm, I don't mean that in a a bad way, just as a statement.AboveUp said:
