The Day Cartoon Network died

What I think of Cartoon Network Now

Cartoon Network was well known in the early 90's for showing all the Looney Toons and Hanna-Barbera

cartoon's,then in the late 90's they were still Cartoon Network when they showed "Dexter's Laboratory", "Johnny Bravo", "Sheep in the Big City","Ed,Edd N' Eddy", and "Cow and Chicken", among other shows.

It was a great channel until one day in 2004 it went downhill, when they moved Toonami to Saturday Night and replaced it weekdays with Miguzi, months later they showed a preview for "Foster's Home for
Imaginary Friends,

It doesn't end, oh no, it gets much worse, they brought us "Hi-Hi Puffy AmiYumi", "Atomic Betty", Juniper Lee, and "My Gym Partner's a Monkey", to make matters worse a few months prior to that they took Boomerang off the air.

Another cartoon that helped make it more sucky is "Class of 3000", what were they thinking, letting a dirty rap guy do his own cartoon, yeah that's a good idea NOT! I mean while they're at it, why not let Eminem do his own daytime cartoon!

In conclusion, maybe Cartoon Network hasn't died completely. Is there hope for this now defunctioning channel? We may never know the answer.

Comments

I have to agree all the way..I'm still wondering why cn took a turn for the worst .but what really bothers. Is that cn was at the top of its game 90s and 2000s, I miss toonami boomerang. And all the classics. That made our generation fill comfort when getting home from school omg good times

You are crazy Foster's is great. :|

i agree CN was the best thing to watch of all time when i was growing up. i always groaned about how theres nothing on at night but few years later CN was made and i got pretty excited of the new cartoons and i loved them for like forever. until 2004 it just became horrible and sad.

I think Cartoon Network sucked before 2004. I just don't get it. I never got the appeal of the Cartoon Cartoons, they are the reason why the network is the way it is today, like it or not. Without them, there would be no My Gym Partner's A Monkey or Ben 10.

Toonami was awesome when they was showing Voltron and Thundercats. When they stopped showing those, I could care less.

What I really hate about Cartoon Network today is how they show a few live action shows & movies on a network dedicated to animation. They even show Goosebumps now & that is not one bit animated. Also canceling Toonami; That was a great block. I noticed too in 2004 of how they changed their logo & all of the classic Hanna Barbra Cartoons were taken off the air except for Tom & Jerry & Scooby Doo.

They totally fucked up Cartoon Network! It was a memory of my childhood. Why did they do this to us?

The only good cartoons that come on now are Family Guy and The Boondocks (although their very controversial shows).

hey their right,i hope there is hope for this defunctioning channel they have
now!!!!!!!!!

Cn's gone downhill since 2002 and don't get me started on cn in 06-today

Toonami was my weekdays bible. I'm all about Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Voltron, Gundam, Outlaw Star and Tenchi Muyo!.

I totally agree with you! Dexter's Laboratory, PPG, Johnny Bravo and Robot Jones was one of the greatest cartoons on Cartoon Network. They're still showing Ed, Edd n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog. And now we can see the greatest cartoons on Boomerang, if anyone has Boomerang, I do.

If I see anymore Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network sucks now articles, I'm gonna scream. Of course the channels suck now! You don't have to remind us.

If you like these shows so much, you would of have recorded them when they was on. If you didn't, you shouldn't even be whining about how much Cartoon Network sucks now. It's time to move on already, if you hate what's on Cartoon Network now, watch Boomerang! It has all of those precious old shows that you all crave for so desperately. Enough of the Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network sucks now articles.

By the way, CN only sucks now because we are older. Not everything about the old CN was great. Sure, CN airs crap now but CN has aired crappy shows back then too, it's just that we were kids back then and we'd watch anything. CN isn't going to keep airing the same shows forever, they would have to play new shows if they want to remain fresh. I don't even know why are you wasting your time complaining about the channel when you know that you are out of the channel's demographics (2-11).

In a few years from now, kids will be saying that CN sucks now and that it was better when Foster's and Gym Partner was on.

The new year starts off with a CN sucks now article. Wow, enough of these already.

I admit that the shows from the 90s and back mean the most to me and are my favorites. Still, I don't agree that the new shows are pure trash. They are meant to belong to this generation of little kids. These shows probably mean a lot to them.

I will not rate this one way or the other though, because I do agree with the simple fact that the 90s Cartoon Network was great.

You pretty much think everything from after 2004 is utter shit, don't you?

We need to enforce some kind of rule that prohibits articles like this from being submitted. Except if, you know, the article makes a point that hasn't been proven by someone else already or it's ORIGINAL.

It's sad but true. Cartoon Network is definately total crap now.

Enough of these shitty, How tv sucks nowadays. If it sucks, dont fuckin watch it!

holy crap this article went to the back page just like that. this article has been declared "PWNED!"

"...a dirty rap guy..."

"...defunctioning..."

Wow. I'm speechless.

While I do think Cartoon Network has gone way down the hill. We don't need another TV sucks now article. There's plenty more on this site, we already get the point that CN's been going downhill.

I agree with you, CeciliaFett. This article would have been improved if the author had stated why he didn't like the new shows.

Yet another "TV sucks" article. Even if it wasn't a TV sucks article, it still suffers from shortness and no details. At least say why you don't like the shows. And Boomerang IS still on the air. 24 hours a day, but its on digital cable, so it costs more.

...is this a joke?

I apologize but something keeps causing my comments to post before i can make changes...anyway, the shows imho are good right now is Chowder. And not because it made a reference to Katamari Damacy. and Gym partner isnt THAT bad, i mean it is watchable. Ben10 is also a pretty good watch, it seems to reach out to a lot of audiences with its balance of violence and child-like humor.

Though with shows like Squirrel Boy and...ugh...Out of Jimmy's Head they make CN look horrible.

OOPS YOU DID! IM SORRY!

You forgot to mention Class of 3000......which sucks...100% cliches, man.

once upon a time, retro junk user "Spongerocks" made an article of how he/she is sick of these tv sucks articles, and that's exactly what you've made.

Oh joy, another article about complaining how one's favorite shows aren't being showed anymore... Just buy some DVDs, and if for nothing else watch Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network, quite possibly the most brilliant nostalgia show ever.

Remember 10 years ago, when they air the Bugs Bunny marathon every summer? "June Bugs"? I only watch CN for [Adult Swim] now (and even that has gone downhill so fast, that I usually don't bother anymore). I'm guessing June Bugs has been tossed out in favor of about 20 crappy anime shows?

I do have to say, though, my girlfriend's dog likes My Gym Partner's A Monkey. But what the hell does a dog know? lol

I don't even watch CN anymore, I miss the shows like Johnny Bravo and the original Dexter's Lab

Yea, I also totally agree. I remember when I first saw Cartoon Network when it got its new look. I then looked at the schedule & I'm like what the hell happened because I noticed that many of the classic Hanna Barbra shows were taken off & then I knew that C.N. was then starting to go down hill. The only two good shows currently still airing are "Ed Edd N Eddy" & "Tom & Jerry".

*Sorry for my many typos*

I have to agree with you but one thing you have to remember, when something has bad times, good times are sure to follow, you'll see CN will get better. One more thing, Gym partner is actually a pretty funny show when you get use to it. Jake is the whole show. Each cast member brings their own unique comedy, except for Lupe, Ingrid, and Slips who aren't very funny. Camp Lazlo is so dull I can't even give it a pity laugh, I don't know if other people use this but me and my big sister give shows "pity laughs" for 2 reasons, one is to keep ourselves interested and the other is becuase sometimes a show is new and we would think it was funny but it disappointed us and we give it a pity laugh. Camp Lazlo is like a demo of how to make a cartoon. Fosters Home isn't all bad because of Bloo. I regret not getting to watch Juniper Lee and Atomic Betty, because they would good but I never gave them a chance.

This is so true
