The Death Of Cartoon Network

[90's Child]

Juuuuuust when I thought they weren't going to go through with that whole "live-action" bullshit, take a look at this steaming (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/cartoon-network-promises-more-live-action.html) pile of idiocy (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/cartoon-network-promises-more-live-action.html). The majority of their new shows are live-action, which should horrify anyone who grew up with the network as a part of their childhood like me.

The sound you just heard was me horking up my own bile. If you're just as angry as I am at this, you can send a letter to Cartoon Network at 1050 Techwood Drive NW, Atlanta GA 30318. That's 1050 Techwood Drive NW, Atlanta GA 30318. You can contact them online, but they'll probably only listne to you if you send it by snail mail. Tell everyone you know, and spread the word to kill the live action movement on CN. It's Cartoon Network not Cartoonickelodeon!

[Tadao]

You could always start your own cable network and try to pay your bills. I'm sure it is the easiest thing to do.

[Esuohlim]

I grew up with Cartoon Network too but I don't watch it anymore so I don't care! Hope this helps

[The Leader]

Or, you know, you could go outside...

OK but it's CARTOON Network. Live-Action is like the definition of NOT a Cartoon. That would be like Comedy Central playing Sleepless in Seattle, or the SciFi network showing porn. Your analogy is therefore defunct.

[Sam]

SciFi network shows wrestling which isn't sci-fi, and Comedy Central showed Sports Night which isn't comedy. :rolleyes

[Tadao]

Fox Network doesn't even show foxes anymore!

[The Leader]

Remember when MTV played music videos?

[Tadao]

I need to write a letter to MTV. I'm outraged and sure I know what is best for them.

[The Leader]

Ya see 90'sChild, why can't you be a real patriot like Tadao?

[VaporTrailx1]

You know that in Britain, if your station even strolls remotely out of genre it's a violation of law. lol

[Tadao]

God bless America.

[Angryhydralisk]

And thank you very much. Good night.

Yeah, and that was my point. There is one live-action show that looks good, that one pilot scripted by Paul Dini, but it could have been aniamted, why go through all that bullshit?! Or at least put it on a channel that SHOULD have it, like Nickelodeon.

And I do admit I was... overly bombastic and whiny in that first post. But that still doesn't make their decision any less bullshit. I'll still watch that Genndy Tarakofski series and Adventure Time though.

[Esuohlim]

Dude who cares. Try watching some X-Files or something, now there's a good show

[executioneer]

cartoon network's been dead since they stopped making new space ghosts

[Krythor]

I hear David Simon is pitching an animated version of THE WIRE to them next season. He said it'll be in the vein of Johnny Quest.

They already have the Venture Bros. The one and only good thing they have left.

[VaporTrailx1]

Aqua Teen! I dunno, just Rotoscope it. It'll make it better

[Tadao]

There's all kinds of good cartoons still on, but Venture Bros. sucked ass this last season.

[Dimnos]

Yea the last season was a bit weak. :\

[Tadao]

And there really are no good cartoons on anymore :( I was unimpressed with the newest Aqua Teens. It was good, but I think by now they could do the strangest thing ever and I wouldn't be impressed.

[Skulhedface]

Uninspired anger directed at message board! Nonspecific things with no tangible value need to be changed! GENERAL OUTRAGE! THINGS MUST CHANGE OR VEILED, NEUTERED THREATS THAT MEAN LESS THAN THE TIME THEY TOOK TO TYPE OUT WILL HAPPEN!

OR... You could accept the fact that you've gotten older and need to start liking new things.

[DirtySanchez]

aside from the adult swim stuff, cartoon network hasn't shown good cartoons in years. they even have their newer cartoons all over the boomerang channel now. it's sad, this generation of kids is gonna grow up watching a bunch of bitch ass p.c. cartoons and never learn about the joys anvils and exploding cigars. glad i got a closet full of cartoons on tape.

[Angryhydralisk]

Not that Adult Swim's programming is exactly stellar in recent years, either.

Isn't the scheduled block more or less Random ADD program, two retards with a contract, cartoon OBVIOUSLY done in flash, random hip anime, and Cowboy Bebop?

[Esuohlim]

Every generation feels bad for the following generation about everything in the universe.

Everything that's meant for kids is awesome when you're a kid, then when you grow up the new stuff is not awesome anymore from your perspective.

My sister is a lot older than me and she says Salute Your Shorts, Pete and Pete, Rocko's Modern Life, etc. are all garbage and the good stuff was on Nickelodeon when she was a kid.

The kids these days are going to fucking love Cartoon Network anyway, even if you're being melodramatic on the internet about "the death" of it. Your generation was no better than any other.

[Tadao]

Yeah but Adult Swim isn't even entertaining on drugs nowadays.

[Esuohlim]

I stopped liking and watching Adult Swim in 2003, so I don't even know what it's like anymore.

[Angryhydralisk]

Indeed. Last I seen there was a lot of animes, Sealab, home Movies, and Aquateen.

I also remember watching it back when it started, with just Space Ghost, Pilot Candidate (Anybody remember THAT piece of shit!?), Inuyasha when it was worth a shit, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun. Now THAT was good watchins' in the heat of the night.

Well, except Inuyasha. I'll never be able to remotely enjoy it ever since I walked in on my gay nephew beating off to pictures of Inuyasha.

DO NOT WANT, DO NOT WANT!And if you watch Adult Swim now, Ireccomend watchign Superjail. Superjail is a kickass show.Uninspired anger directed at message board!

I agree with you on that first mockery, and I was a dumbass for posting that first post. But on your second point, I actually do like some stuff on Cartoon Network, like Batman The Brave and the Bold, Transformers Animated and Chowder. I'm just angry that they're trying to crowd out the animation with live action on the network.

[Misdemonar]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! DO NOT WANT, DO NOT WANT!And if you watch Adult Swim now, Ireccomend watchign Superjail. Superjail is a kickass show.

WHY WHERE YOU IMAGINING HIS NEPHEW MASTURBATING

[Krythor]

Xavier: Renegade Angel is fantastic and new Tim and Eric's are DECENT too. I only saw the first episode of Delocated and it was okay. Have been meaning to catch up with it to form a fairer opinion.

[90's Child]

WHY WHERE YOU IMAGINING HIS NEPHEW MASTURBATING
No I wasn't, if by imagining you mean visualizing in my head. It's just the general "OH MY DEAR SWEET JESUS I WOULD STAB MY EYES OUT OF MY HEAD IF I SAW THAT" of the general concept that frightens me and squicks me out..

[The Leader]

I'm actually masturbating right now while imagining his nephew masturbating so to each his own, I guess.

Also Superjail is pretty awesome. It's like animated comix.

[Nick]

Pilot Candidate (Anybody remember THAT piece of shit!?)
I had forgot about that show. Thanks for reminding me. >:

[Angryhydralisk]

I feel the same way for remembring it. >:

On the bright side, I doubt they ever finished it.

[Schimid]

I'm not on this whole OH BOO HOO POOR NEXT GENERATION or anything, but seriously, Flapjack is the best cartoon I've seen in years.

[Dimnos]

...Flapjack is the best cartoon I've seen in years.


:rolleyes

[Babs]

I'm a knife, knifin around.... cut cut cut cut cut

[Nick]

I love Flapjack, and the new Adventure Time show is going to be fantastic.

[executioneer]

i'm enthused about adventure time too :( AND I LIKE THAT NEW BATMAN CARTOON IT'S BOSS

[Nick]

Brave and the Bold is kickass. They actually managed to make Aquaman interesting.

[Sam]

I like Chowder and Flapjack when I am all drunk. :(

Flapjack creeps me out sometimes. :\

[Schimid]

:rolleyes

So you're a Total Drama Island fan, then?

[Dimnos]

So you're a Total Drama Island fan, then?

Hardly. :sleep

[LordSappington]

Our cartoons could afford to be a little more isque; Looney Toons constantly had mild sexual themes, such as burlesque or clubs, bars, what have you, and violence. DBZ, Batman, Superman, whatever, could get away with their characters actually showing injuries in fights. In cartoons now, they either just got lots of scratches and dirt on them, or just get patched up with band-aids. Hell, on Static Shock, one of the main characters got fucking SHOT. You couldn't pull that off on daytime CN.
Also, fucking Toonami. I can't stress enough how awesome it was to come home from school, and watch DBZ, Zoids, and all that with my friend. That was the best thing ever back then.

[Durrsomething]

Hey, at least that Sym-Bionic Titan show sounds fucking awesome

It totally sucks that Ben 10 is still going. I fucking hate that show

[LordSappington]

Could be worse.

[Durrsomething]

Man, all those live-action shows sound like total horse shit

That Generator Rex shit sounds exactly like Ben 10, meaning it will suck, unless Rex pulls machines OUT OF HIS ASS. :)

And what could be worse then that overated piece of shit Ben 10 still being on?

[The Leader]

And what could be worse then that overated piece of shit Ben 10 still being on?

I don't know, what? :|

[90's Child]

Brave and the Bold is kickass. They actually managed to make Aquaman interesting.
Yes indeed. I also like Transformers animated. Did you know that they put a Rocklord (Or at least an asteroid monster probably inspired by Rocklords) in the Season 3 Premire. Yay.

But there is bad news. CH Greeblatt said on his blog that Chowder would probably be canceled allong with Animated due to being made under previous management and the new management wanting to erase all traces of the previous administration. This pisses me off to no end, and makes me wish I could puch the petty fucks that did this in the face.

[Misdemonar]

WHATEVER YOU SAY JOHN

[LordSappington]

I'm getting a little sick of having to be constantly high to enjoy Adult Swim.

[Tadao]

New Squidbillies are on the way!

[Sam]

:O I love Squidbillies
