Cartoon Network's got issues

Why does CN have issues today? Check out this article for answers.

Okay, first of all, none of the stuff mentioned below happened to our childhood! Our generation was better, the new one sucks.

Where to start? Oh yes, with the removal of Tom and Jerry, I have declared that Cartoon Network is nothing. And not only that, they're failing more!

To the shows, I have no respect for. Also, Cartoon Network calls these Cartoon Network Originals! WTF?!!! Originals?!! Wanna know what's original?! The Cartoon Cartoons you bastards!!!

First up is My Gym Partner's A Monkey, the worst show ever made on Cartoon Network. It makes too many ass jokes and almost everything refers to his ass, and nobody seems to care but laugh. God damn, nobody in our generation have watched this piece of crap! Moving on...

Second, Squirrel Boy is awful too, only it copies off CatDog and nothing else. It's rarely shown on Cartoon Network, at least it's better than MGPAM! I don't know what's the point of this show, but it's probably shown that CN is having aids I assume. Oh well, never mind this dirty crap. Let's keep going...

Third, Camp Lazlo is more like SpongeBob only it's on a campground and it is worse than SpongeBob Squarepants. I watched it a few times, it was horrible. Frankly, a cartoon of this piece of shit was shown at a theater when I saw Ratutooie (Or whatever it is). I don't call this for hilarious crap, which it isn't. Coming up next...

Fourth, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. It was innocent at first, but then it started going downhill very quickly unexpectedly. Out of nowhere came Goo Goo and that pointed out that the show was failing. Let's go forward...

Fifth, we have Ben 10. And god is it horrible! This points out that kids are rulers, really? No! This idiot doesn't know shit about kicking ass! His sister was right! Ben is an asshole! For some weird reason, everyone seems to like this show when it sucks.

Now if that wasn't enough, the movies are awful too! Cartoon Network airs movies on occasion (Normally on weekends). Most of these are garbage while Shrek and School of Rock which Cartoon Network plans to never air again (Son of a 1000 bitches!!!) and the garbage is always the movies. Lili Griffin, help us all!

Cartoon Network Extra just shows shorts that are from the originals that nobody likes. There's not much to say about these too.

The majority of the commercials are terrible and more common nowadays. I'm meaning like rub n' color, kidz bop, and most of these are Bamzu! GOD DAMMIT SHUT THE F*CK UP BAMZU!!!!!!

Now that I think of it, Cartoon Network's hit rock bottom. I can't stand it anymore! I am not going to watch this piece of shit anymore. So, do not watch CN anymore and don't touch it! Bye!

    Yo i agree with you partly. Your a bit older generation then me.

    I was around for shows like tom and jerry. but i dont remember alot of the old shows to well cuz i was only like 5.
    But i actual thought some of the shows you commented about were kind of good.(execpt) that squirrel boy show.

    Its just a different generation that likes different things i guess.

    i really dont understand the new (LAME CRAPPY) version of cartoon network.

    The Cn real stuff.
    where its like not even cartoons.
    i think that sucks so bad.
    Because why do they call it cartoon network if its not cartoons anymore?????

    They should make nanother channel called Cn real . Like disney and nick have more then one channel.

    idk i was searching it on google.
    and i made an account to comment on the Crappy tv the kids younger then me enjoy

    And I just realized that this is an ancient thread, but I came across it from a Google search, and I had such a strong desire to comment on this that I made an account almost purely to comment.

    I admit that I loved the Cartoon Cartoons a lot more than the stuff being aired now. But if they kept showing the same stuff for decades then almost everyone would be bored to death of it and beg CN to add new stuff. And how do they make room for new stuff? By taking out some of the old stuff.

    I think TDI/TDA is ok, it has it's funny moments. I also think that Chowder and Flapjack are funny, although I think all three shows shows don't have enough new episodes to keep interest.

    I don't like how they're adding more non cartoon stuff to the channel. And even Adult Swim is going downhill. There's some shows that try to be funny, but fail. I miss when they had anime almost every single night. Now the only time they show any anime is during saturday nights, and I think they even cut back from that slot a bit.

    They need to bring back Cartoon Cartoons, even if it's for a shorter amount of time, or different shows. That was the heart and soul of CN, along with the classics like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, etc.

    Am I the only one who thought the Cartoon Cartoons sucked? They are the reason why Cartoon Network is the way it is today. I remember the days when Cartoon Network first came out and watched it all day long. The Flintstones, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and a whole bunch of other good shows. Too bad kids born in the 90s only think that Cartoon Network's golden years was 1998-2004. I say Cartoon Network sucked since the late 90s.
    phenomenal1 Posted 4 years 8 months ago
    Cartoon Network does suck some balls cuz i remember vividly CN showing Action cartoons in the afternoons like DBZ, Ronin Warriors, TMNT, Dragonball, Dragonball GT, Beast Wars, Transformers Cybertron, Transformers Energon, Swat Kats Etc. What i'm tryin to say is not a one fuckin action cartoon is worth a damn anymore i mean WTF is Bagugan or however u spell it and WTF happened to the transformers now they got Transformers Animated WTF this is bullshit. Please bring back Toonami and that other action slot CN used to have after Toonami got cancelled or somethin.

    Um, quit watching Cartoon Network if the shows tick you off? Grow up and watch more "adult" channels? Get Boomerang and watch the cartoons of *our* childhood?
    Celeste Posted 5 years 6 months ago
    I'd like to know who the 11 f*ckwads are who gave this article thumbs up? Seriously! I'm getting pretty damned sick of "This Sucks Now" articles that don't even have a coherent reason behind it.

    THUMBS DOWN!!
    mlw1984 Posted 5 years 6 months ago
    This article is total BS. I don't even know why it isn't in the back pages already. There is no explaination on why CN sucks so much now. It's just this show sucks, that show sucks. There isn't even pictures on this article either. Stop crying already. Guess what, the kids of today LIKE the shows on CN now. This is their childhood now, not ours. You just grew up and watching cartoons may not be the same anymore for you. I have not seen one postive comment about the network at all. It's just "CN is gay now!", "Bring back the old shows" and "Adult Swim is the only good thing about CN now". If you all hate CN now, watch Boomerang! It has most of the same stuff that was on CN in the late 1990's and early 2000's (even though it's too early to be playing stuff like Justice League and Baby Looney Tunes).

    PS: We aren't in the same generation. Our generation isn't really too much different from today's generations. In fact, there are no such things as "A perfect generation". Get over it and move on.
    80s90sbrat Posted 5 years 6 months ago
    the only good cartoon on cartoon network is chowder everything else is unadultraated crap being back the classics like acme hour and the tex avery show

    this network has gone down hill fast

    kids dont know what good cartoons are any more
    gustogummi Posted 5 years 7 months ago
    And you need to learn how to calm down.
    gustogummi Posted 5 years 7 months ago
    I give this article a thumbs down for being inaccurate. You dumb fuck, we all aren't in the same generation. Get over it.
    ducktalesfan1977 Posted 5 years 7 months ago
    I don't even understand how this article got a fucking 10 points! It doesn't even deserve one! All he is doing is bashing the shows without any reason why they suck. Yeah, I agree with you, Hiro, move on already.

    I'm personally starting to get sick of articles like this.
    Hiro Posted 5 years 8 months ago
    And oh, we are all not in the same generation. The information you typed was very misleading. Riddles-in-the-middles is right. Our generations were no different than today's.
    Hiro Posted 5 years 8 months ago
    Cartoon Network ONLY sucks now because you outgrew the channel. I'm so tired of articles bashing the cartoons of today and you can't even explain why they suck. Get over it. These channels aren't catering to our demographic anymore, that's why you think it sucks. Move on and grow up.

    The Nickelodeon/Disney/Cartoon Network sucks now articles have been beaten to the ground. Give it a rest already.
    ducktalesfan1977 Posted 5 years 8 months ago
    Ha ha ha, this article sucks ass. Enough of the damn Cartoon Network sucks now articles.
    Dan5121 Posted 5 years 8 months ago
    I was liking this article. Squirrel Boy is okay. But Foster's did start getting worse (so many intentionally annoying characters), and Lazlo does suck. BUT, anyone who insults Ben 10 doesn't know an AMAZING cartoon when he sees one. So, sorry but the whole article is shot to heck now. Besides, they still air Billy and Mandy.
    PixarFan88 Posted 5 years 8 months ago
    I agree with this article. Most of the cartoons you listed are unwatchable. Cartoon Network is definitely going down the tube. They air live action shows with some animation (that does not count!) and live action movies without animation.
    Spongeroks Posted 5 years 9 months ago
    A so-so article, it kinda sounded like you were going crazy or something.
    My Gym Partner's a Momkey is awful and Squirrel Boy is even worse, you're right about that.
    I'm sorry, I have to defend Fosters and Camp Lazlo, honestly, I think those are good shows.
    You're right that CN has gone downhill, but Nickelodeon and Disney have goten much worse, but pretty decent article.
    wiifan Posted 5 years 9 months ago
    you are so right about that copper20!i don't even watch that channel only more.only when i watch adult swim.bring back dexter's laboratory!!!!
    riddles-in-the-middles Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Go put on your big boy/girl pants and get over it! So cartoon network took off Tom and Jerry. Boo hoo! How horrible! The entire world just has to stop for you because a stupid cartoon got taken off of a channel! Forget all the other horrible disasters and problems going on in the world! Your stupid cartoon is more important!

    No! Your generations are NOT any better then today's! Your generations had the AIDS the epidemic and other dangerous pandemics, crack babies, the rise of popularity in cocaine and other illegal drugs, came very close to a nuclear war happening, and plenty other things I could list off. There was just as much 'crappy' cartoons back in your generations too! Stop thinking that your generations were all so perfect and dandy, because they weren't just like today's!
    kevin95 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    omg u r so right screw cn they went and screwed it all up like they did nick they think they will make more money with all the new shows but they dont!! they just destroy memories and fun!!!
    anti4evermario Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Like CheezNapkin said just screw Cartoon Network and switch to Boomerang, it not only has all of those old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, it has those old 90's cartoons that we loved so much, like Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, even the freaking What a Cartoon show! The only remaining good show on CN is Ed, Edd, n' Eddy which has more quality than any of the other shows now on CN.
    Knites Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Personally, I think Ren and Stimpy marked the fall of animation as we knew it. Everything got dumbed down. Sillyness, slapstick, and a fascination with bodily fluids replaced story. So sad. Thank God shows like Justice League were there for some of us to turn too.
    kissdude44 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    .....btw where the hell did samurai jack go? that was probably the best show in CN history for me.
    DemonEnvy Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Yes, thank you for this article! I agree with you whole heartedly on this. They seem to be doing nothing more than killing off the good shows, and promoting weak cheesy garbage.

    I wished they would bring back the good shows like Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, Power Girls and Courage. Fosters Home was great as a movie, but the series began to seriously suck when they stuck to the old standbys, like toilet humor.

    And the stories are no longer great either. They seemed to have run out of ideas on this one. And to make the channel even better, they need to bring back Toonami on weekdays.

    Please add some pictures to your article next time. M'kay?
    Ackman Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    But wait that's not all!


    yes, I now know every line in those ads.

    devin_b Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Eh, most of Boomerang's shows are too old for my taste. And some of them were just flat out stupid ideas. That's just my opinion, no offense to the generation growing up with those shows.
    CheezNapkin Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Well when you get the chance I suggest you get it :D I don't have it but I know some people who do and i've watched it a few times. It's really cool.
    Copper20 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I can't.
    CheezNapkin Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    and besides, if you people hate CN so much why don't you just get boomerang? It's pretty much the same as CN was 7 years ago :D
    CheezNapkin Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    To me, Cartoon Network really isn't that different than it was 5 years ago. So they cancelled a few shows and premiered a few new ones, so what? It's not really that bad, we aren't kids anymore, and to us, cartoons aren't as good as they used to be. When people grow older they think everything was better "back in the day" when in reality things haven't changed much.
    sonikku Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    you're right! cartoon network sucks nowadays!
    i mean they still had good cartoons recently like
    Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and Teen Titans!
    but sadly they canceled Hi Hi and Teen Titans is shown fewer and fewer times than before!
    i wish cartoon network was good again!
    please let that happen CN!
    godfate5 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    but ben 10 is not a CARTOON CARTOON!! original
    godfate5 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I agree Ben 10 is not a orginal cartoon show it hasnt even been on for a full year lol
    BaltimoreYankee2006 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    You know, "Foster's" & "Ben 10" really great shows. I'm 19 years old and yet here I am, watching these two animated series. My advice to Cartoon Network is to merge their network with Boomerang, their other network. So, that way, all the cartoon fans across America and around the world can be happy and enjoy classic cartoons and FULLY animated movie classics.
    megachris93 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    since i live in Mexico you would think i get the best shows...WRONGO!
    we have all those UBERSHIT shows too but we also have the old awesome shows like dexter and others.
    DK1988 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    fosters and ben 10 a great shows to me but the rest of the article is pretty much on point with the topic
    avaitor Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I'm giving this a thumbs down since you seem to be on crack is all.

    And I love Foster's FTR, possibly one of the wittiest animated series in the past 5 years.
    DavidP Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    yea,the thing i miss in disney channel is when i was little at night,there was a show that shows classic old cartoons like mickey mouse,and other classics.i forgot what zoog disney was.
    serena Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    you are so right i miss the good old days.
    devin_b Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    But then as far as Adult Swim goes, I mostly watch it for Futurama, Family Guy, and most of the animes like Inuyasha or that new one called Bleach. But their original shows aren't any better than the kids stuff. In fact, I think it's even worse. Hell some of the shows aren't even cartoons at all like Saul of the Mole Men or Tim and Eric awesome show, though I wouldn't use the word awesome. Suck ass would be more like it.
    devin_b Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I have to agree too. The only reason I watch it now is for Adult Swim, or the occasional airing of classic episodes or movies of Pokemon.
    D2Krazy Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    THANK YOU Finaly some one with SENCE I'm only 13 but i hate those shows I LIKED Ed Edd and Eddie,Power Puff Gurls (don't laugh)Courage,Dexter,Sheep in the Big City I LOVE Tom and Jerry! I Miss those shows!
    F1315NJ Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    u pretty much tell it like it is. cartoon television has gone down the crapper. same goes for Nickelodeon. Wayside? Drake and Josh?! wtf, Nickelodeon?! bring back the classics, flush the boring new stuff. thats all i gotta say, and thats all that implys to the situation.
    Shrew84 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    You nailed it dude. I completely agree.
    leemustdie Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    amen brother
    TheOrangeRanger Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Posted earlier by rdj21085: "I hope whomever is in charge gets sodomized a thousand times by 24 Gorillas without lubrication!!"

    XD Holy crap that's hilarious!

    Anyway, I concur, everything that has come out on Cartoon Network over the last couple months or so has been total crap, starting with Foster, which was pretty good off the start but like the other dude said, just got really annoying after a while.

    And though I think it should have ended with the movie I don't think that Spongebob was bad, in complete contrast, I thought it was one of the most original shows on Nick (behind of course all of the greats in the 90's.) And what's all this about Danny Phantom being good? I never liked Danny Phantom, in my opinion it sucked major ass! It was pretty original I'll give it that, but it was done all wrong and by the wrong people, it should have been done by the people who did Batman in the early 90's and they should have made it into an action drama of sorts (just not as serious as Batman.) BTW whatever happened to Toonami on CN?
    secretvixen Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    We just miss our generation, is all.
    I don't know any of the shows nor have I watched them so I can't judge them fully. I know Ben 10 is pretty popular but thats it.
    I'll stick to the Boomerang channel, thats where all the classic cartoons are at.
    rdj21085 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I totally agree with you. When I first started watching CN it had some awesome shows. I mean back when it was only offered on Satellite. Shows like: Thor, Birdman, The Trio, He-Man, She-Ra, and so many more great classics that I can't really think of at the moment. Now, the only time I even turn to that station is to watch Adult Swim. And know there taking off Harvey Birdman. What the fuck?!?! Cartoon Network you suck, and I hope whomever is in charge gets sodomized a thousand times by 24 Gorillas without lubrication!!
    sonikblu Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I COULDN'T AGREE ANY MORE. REALLY, WHAT KIND OF CRAP ARE THEY TRYING TO SELL TO KIDS NOW?! A GAY SPONGE WITH HIS PINK, NOT TO MENTION STUPID, FRIEND? PLEASE!! PERSONALLY I PLAY IT SAFE NOW AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SEE ANY OF THE NEW SHOWS I STICK TO BOOMEANG. EVEN THOUGH IT IS PART OF THE CARTOON NETWORK, AT LEAST I KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SEE (AND IT'S NOT CRAP, THAT'S FOR SURE)
    Ma-121_Hunter Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I`m sorry but i have to disagree with you all to some
    degree here, I`ll admit upfront that i`m not happy with
    how CN is being ran at the moment, but i think some of
    you are being too quick in your judgment here.

    Ben 10 happens to be one of the better shows that is
    on cartoon network right now, and one of the best to be
    created in a long time. It has originality that has been sorely missed in a lot of shows that are out these days. The voice acting is good in my opinion, and the storyline is entertaining.

    I`ll agree also that my gym partner is a monkey and
    fosters home for imaginary friends are horrible shows.
    Though Foster`s could have been good if not for Bloo,
    i hate that character so much, mostly because of his
    ego and his damn voice.

    MGPAM fails because of the aforementioned jokes, but
    also it just isn't very well thought out. The stories
    are lame, the jokes are even lamer, and Jake reminds me
    too much of Bloo.

    It seems that a horrible trend has been floating around
    the cartoon community as of late, good shows are being
    either canceled or moved. What happened with meguzi?
    since summer started, it`s been replaced with mini
    marathons on a weekly basis. Also what was Nickelodeon
    thinking when they canceled Danny Phantom? Albeit Nick
    has done this a lot in the past, its no surprise that
    they canned something that was actually worth keeping.
    DivaJoy Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    the only thing I watch on CN now is adult swim...
    redzeoranger2 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    God what's wrong with Cartoon Network right now every show right now sux balls!
    Murdoc Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    man cartoon network used to have awsome shows liek dexter, johnny bravo. etc. now its all this bull wat a shame
    Tommysgurl Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    It's because the people who draw the cartoons or write the script, they're getting more perverted, racist, sexist, and teaching kids abd habbits with everything. Thats why all these kids born after 95 and on are so rude and nasty. Thats the defference between us and them. We're old school and they the rude ass new school. ANd they're cartoons are stupid and retarded and dont make any since sometimes.
    NostalgicNed Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I'll have to take your word for how terrible these shows are because I only watched them for a minute and changed the channel.
    BlueMario Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Cartoon Network is right now, the Worst Cartoon channel of all time!!!
    I don't think Foster's or Camp Lazlo's Horrbile, I think
    "My gym partner's a Monkey" is Awful, and "squrriel boy" is Worse!
    Nobody wants to watch these 2 stupid shows! and Yes, I know that Foster's going down the drain quickly. Camp Lazlo is running out of Ideas for epiosdes. Cartoon Network needs Huge changing quickly.
    kissdude44 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    i honestly agree with you. the only reason I watch that shit is because of the awesome shows on toonami (but at the rate cartoon network is going, thats gonna turn to shit anyway.) but until the day toonami dies, im watching naruto!
    mariofan1980 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    hey bbeastieboy, if you'd watch these shows you'd agre that they suck
    Skerlnik Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I am confused as to why this is "retro".

    Sure, CN has issues (whether it is "having AIDS" is something I've never contemplated), but, given that I am 35, I can't say I watch a whole lot of new cartoons intended for kids. I can only assume that kids nowadays like the overly-intense colors, the frenetic animation style, the trite plots. I sure don't. Makes my eyes hurt.

    I watched Foster's and I thought it was pointless. Not sure who it appeals to. If it's not Bugs Bunny or Tom and Jerry, I pretty much skip it.

    Love Boomerang, and all the obscure 4-episode Hanna Barbera stuff. (Mightor and Moby Dick? Shazzan? Classically, hysterically bad!)



    retro_gamer_Zero Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    YEAH!!!
    I dont watch that stupid ass channel at ALL anymore!!!!!
    NickelodeonFan97 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I'll tell you what sucks the most right now.

    DISNEY CHANNEL!

    Disney Channel is 10x worse than both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.
    thiskiddisraddd Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    yeah. cartoon network had better days. with all the good stuff. like DBZ and dragonball and like sailor moon and all that. now. it's just trying to please the masses. the only things i like about CN is boomerang which has all the oldies and adult swim and foster's home for imaginary friends.
    Megagents Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Hey OrangeMonkey, I get what you mean when you say they're made by the people who made our favorites but that's one of the reasons why we don't like them, because we know the people can do better but something's holding them back. Also Boomerang started on Cartoon Network.
    OrangeMonkey Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Ok! I see what your saying... You miss the classics! But first off, you cant keep all the same shows on ALL the time! in like 10, 20 years from now people will be complaining about the new stuff and missing Foster's and Gym Partner's A Monkey and stuff!

    Also, 3 of those shows (Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Squirell Boy, Camp lazlo) are from the same creators as some of our favorite classics!
    Foster's = Powerpuff girls plus Craig McCkrakken has worked on so much

    Squirell Boy= Duckman (a greqat Klasky Csupo cartoon)

    and...
    Camp Lazlo= Joe Murray from Rocko's Modern Life (one of the classic nicktoons) I say it's Nickelodeon that's really dying besides... CN has boomerang now!
    takineko Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    you didn't really state why it became that way. Two words, Network Executives.
    Sonic4EVER Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Wow, settle down...

    Although I agree with some of the things you've said (squirell boy...), cartoon network isn't as bad as you say it is. I mean, look at Nick... nick has a lot of worse shows then CN does. And plus this generation LIKES that kind of stuff, just like our parents liked a lot of old shows we might care less for. And plus I enjoy a few shows on CN like camp lazlo and fosters.
    bloodhound Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    cn does sux even there spin off boomarang has bad shows now i like the old shows but thats it bring on gi joe transformers!! the good cartoons!!!
    tinytoonlover Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    dude with the originals why not fucking son shit from the WB and stuff from the 90s that they shown B4 like Tiny Toons, animaniacs or just Looney Tune it up but nooo! ok I think they did Tiny Toons for a bit but they probably lost the tapes or trashed them not even on there cousin Boomerang WTF
    SailorCatz Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Well.. Yeah, I agree Cartoon Network has just been going down hill, I've been noticing it for along time.. Its sad really.
    But then again... kids like the oddest things, I know if I were to watch the things I use to watch for the first time now, I would be ranting and raving just like this..(not everything, just some things)
    But really I think nostalgia set in and no matter how crappy it was, it makes it seem like a fond memory.

    Oh and... I have to defend Camp Lazlo, I gave it a chance, some episodes are eh, but a lot I love, I think thats the only thing I can tolerate on CN anymore.
    Megagents Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy isn't the only thing good on.
    DMoney89 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    I totally forgot to add that Ed, Edd, N Eddy is the sole saving grace of Cartoon Network. Take that away, and CN is screwed.

    Other than Camp Lazlo, Cartoon Network flat out sucks. And Foster's did go downhill rapidly...

    I hate that the only thing kids find funny are retarded characters, loud obnoxious screaming, and ass jokes. I mean, at least the Cartoons back in the day made some kind of sense and actually TRIED to tell a story and be funny. Now iit's just a bunch of random shit thrown and edited together...

    Umm... Foster's is a good cartoon.

    So Tom and Jerry are the only reasons why you watched CN? My Gym Partner's A Monkey isn't the funniest thing ever but it's the best out of the newest, excluding Foster's, they were before the new stuff. How does Squirrel Boy copy off of CatDog? It's the worst cartoon on CN and anywhere else. How is Camp Lazlo like SpongeBob? It has it's rare moments of funny, but I agree, it sucks... hard. About your Foster's comment, Goo wasn't the reason it went downhill, she was rarely seen after her first appearance but then again you never said she was. I say Foster's did start to get more kid-friendly and yes I know a show about imaginary friend should be but come on, it could be a little more action packed here and there. Now about Ben 10, it's an amazing show. What did you mean by "kids are rulers"? that doesn't make any snese. You also said "This idiot doesn't know shit about kicking ass!" Of course not, that't the point. He's 10 years old and is just getting use to the Omnitrix. Sorry he couldn't be a martial arts master at 10 like Goku. The "weird" reason people like it, isn't weird, everyone has different taste, in fact your comments and my comments are facts, they're opinions. I'm more upset that the movies are live-action rather than their quality. You mentioned "Cartoon Network Extra" and how they "just shows shorts that are from the originals that nobody likes." You seem to be forgetting about Toon Extra which is the same thing. I like Toon Extras. Now on to commercials. Why are you so worried about commercials? Kids are into rub n' color, kidz bop, and Bamzu has stuff from Turner programming *hint hint*. Last but not least, you told people to stop watching, why, just because you did?

    I agree, cartoons have gone to hell!

    I think CN is doing okay, not great. They just need more variety. Maybe a block for classic cartoons like they used to before 2004. Even if it's just once a week, they need some classic cartoons if they dare to keep the name *Cartoon* Network. And release the old Cartoon Cartoon shows on season DVD sets. Then it'll be fine.

    pft. Cartoon network is fine. Before Dbx all they ever showed was the old stuff the boomerang channel shows today. Db was a great boon for the network.
    But its still doing fine. All they really need is another really great series to import.
    And dont even tell me that naruto or bleech. Both are dbz rip offs.

    i think when Space Ghost Coast to Coast was cancelled it went downhill.
    bbeastieboy Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    why is EVERYBODY making an article about why cartoon network sucks, or how cartoon network used to be good. WE grew up on shows like Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab. Key words, GREW UP. Just because they arent the shows you watched as a kid doesnt mean they suck. If Ben 10's on it's 4th season (estimate, i've never seen the show but I think it's around there by now) then the show doesn't suck, people watch it. Grow the hell up and grow some balls everyone. The world changes.

    Dude! Cartoon Network has really hit rock bottom? And I thought Toon Disney has! Very well made article, but next time, use some pictures. Also, you should have talked about the good shows that aren't on the network anymore like, I don't know..."The Powerpuff Girls"?
    Hordak Alpha Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Cartoon Network is dead to me. Has been ever since it switched to digital transceiver only. That, and because of the crappy cartoons mentioned. I'd still watch Adult Swim though, but just the good shows of that.
    BATTLESTAR100 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    yah i agree with you cuss cartoon network does suck why wont they show jhonny bravo or dexters laberatory anymore those were good shows...but i dont agree with how you hate spongbob that sshow is frickin hilarious
    Benjanime Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    god dude take a chill pill. i know these new shows on cn are annoying (camp lazlo being the worst) but keep it cool and don't curse about stuff here. it can get you banned like what happened to my other screenname

    Why are they playing 1990s cartoons on Boomerang? It's way too early for that. They shall go back to the way they was when they first started nothing but CLASSIC cartoons, not cartoons that are 10-15 years old and younger. Cartoon Network itself has sucked for the last 7-8 years. Lack of variety, plays the same shows over and over again until people get tired of them.

    This article isn't really good at all though.
    BakuraLover21 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Yes, yes, yes!! Amen! I have been waiting to find someone who actually agrees with me! And I have! The sh*t they play now needs to be removed and replaced with the generation that we lived in. And for God's sake, change Toonami back to the way it was! Whatever happened to Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, DragonBall Z, Gundam Wing, Thundercats, and all of our favorites?! I mean, some of the shows that they play now on Toonami are okay, like Naruto. But come on! I actually feel sorry for this generation of children. They shouldn't have to deal with this crap. If I had known that as soon as the 90s had gone by and my cartoons were fading away, I would've cherished my childhood. No one should have to suffer because of this, no one! Copper20, you're my hero.
    pancho420 Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    All of the aformentioned cartoons totally suck.Foster's is funny sometimes.That Blue is a total "Dick".Maybe,thats why I like it.Even "Boomerang",is starting to suck.They don't show the old school 'toons that they used to show.

    Relax, Folks. When I grow up, or on November 11, 2010, at 11 AM, I shall do away with the problems that make Cartoon Network corrupt and arrogant and those that might almost destroy the network in the future. Turner Broadcasting, Time Warner and I will viddie what to do, what you folks want them to do and that will be what Time Warner, Turner Broadcasting and I will do ourselves in....to make Cartoon Network repent (which means to change because they're sorry) for what they have done now.....to Bring back your Cartoon Network Generation....to do away with the newest Cartoon Network generation...one moment of change perhaps, and then Cartoon Network will be feeling better again. My own company, The Tim Box Company will also co-own Cartoon Network and will keep it free of the new CN genration. My Company's Home Video Division, Tim Box Home Entertainment, and also Warner Home Video and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, among others, will also hold the domestic and worldwide home video and DVD rights to all of Cartoon Network's content. When I will save Cartoon Network when I grow up, on November 11, 2010 at 11 o'clock AM, The Generation of Cartoon Network that you will prefer over the new one (which is incredibly sub-par), will return if I or anybody else do so. That's what we, Time Warner, and Turner Broadcasting shall do to save CARTOON NETWORK and its core viewership from the brink of disaster in the darkest hour of the history of Cartoon Network. Do you guys got that plan?
    Acorna Posted 5 years 10 months ago
    Oh. My. God. I canNOT stand any of the shows you mentioned, and the Bamzu spots are as annoying as hell..you were spot-on with this article. Worst thing is, the Bamzu crap doesn't end with the childrens' programming, it continues through the Adult Swim programming block too. I miss when Cartoon Network had better shows such as the Cartoon Cartoons. Out of them all..I'd say MGPAM is the worst of the lot, but I haven't bothered to watch Ben 10. Foster's ties with MGPAM, actually.

    Anyways, great article.
    Score:
