Cartoon Network is falling off....

[Not talking about [as], I'm talking about their daytime cartoons.]

I really loved CN for having new having new and old cartoons in rotation, but now they are running the same five cartoons (which range from meh to hilarious) into the ground and now they're adding reality shows into the mix. Cartoon Network with reality shows? SMH. What bothers me most is that they shelf great cartoons like KND or Foster's Imaginary Home and won't even bother to move them to Boomerang like they did with Dexter's Lab.

Really sad state of affairs and hope this is just a phase.

Re: Cartoon Network is falling off....

You're about 2 years too late with this opinion really. CN AND Boomerang has fallen off such a huge cliff it isn't even funny. I remember 10-12 years ago visiting family in the US and wanting those channels now they're just shells of their former selves.

Re: Cartoon Network is falling off....

Sadly, all of the good cartoons you can never see like Roadrunner, Looney Tunes, Foghorn Leghorn (one of the best cartoons ever), Doug, etc. because now, all they show is Johnny Bravo, Powderpuff girls, courage the dog, and a bunch of other crud that nobody cares about. The only good ones you can see is Popeye and Tom & Jerry...

Re: Cartoon Network is falling off....

I'm not digging the reality shows. I can't stand the Total Drama stuff. The new game show that takes place on a roller coaster? Not my thing. My kids love it all though. That is the target audience after all. Children.

I think Chowder and Flapjack are hilarious though.

I was kinda hoping the New Year's Looney Tunes marathon would bring them back to CN but I guess it didn't pull in enough ratings.

That "crud" you speak of was awesome.

But yeah, I love Flapjack and Chowder.

Yea sadly this is where television is heading. It started with Disney and moved it's way to Nick and now has taken down Cartoonetwork. Sad times when kids have their own reality television show now

Re: Cartoon Network is falling off....

CN used to show some awesome cartoons when I was younger. Now they're all crap. I'm not sure if it's that they dumped great cartoons like Looney Tunes, Road Runner, Tom and Jerry, ect. or if it's because I've grown older, but I haven't watched the network is several years.
