*insert obligatory 'Cartoon Network is still around?' thought*

See, I wouldn't mind so much if the station wasn't still called CARTOON NETWORK! Sure if it was called the "Oh GWAD I wish we were still Nickelodeon" network, then sure, but...

Cartoon Network used to be Nickelodeon? But I thought it was created by Turner?

No, CN is a different entity from Nickelodeon. In its glory days, though, Cartoon Network used to be a repository for the cartoons that Nick was kicking off the air in the late 90s.

It still is.

What.....man I'd rather watch Wild and Crazy Kids again. If you can get the science/discovery channel then this show is useleeeeeeeess.

I don't even remember the last time I turned my TV to Cartoon Network....

The Adult Swim shows have changed for the worse. That Tim & Eric show is the most idiotic thing I've seen in a long while and wonder how these douches were able to get a show and a time slot. Plus there are some other weird ass shows like Xavier. I miss the old Space Ghost days. At least Aqua Teen, Squidbillies and my personal fav, The Venture Brothers are still there. But plz, die Tim & Eric.

Cartoon Network is a creation of Turner Communications to compete with both Disney and Nickelodeon. They still show Bleach every Saturday night, so I'll keep watching until they stop.

Andrew wk hosting a show where kids blow up stuff?

This could either be epic failure or success, but they will eventually run out of things to blow up.

But yes, cartoon network is not really living up to it's cartoon name.

they will eventually run out of things to blow up.

Maybe, but just think of how long that would take.

I want more Batman the Bold and the Brave

Yeah, I swing by Cartoon Network sometimes when I'm channel surfing, but the show's I'd like the watch (Batman:BatB and Transformers) are placed awkwardlyin their schedule.

I found a few BatB eps on youtube. and every TF Animated episode is on there too

Rumor has it that the second season is coming this fall!

Rumors are a flyin', fueled fooled by people who've lost their jobs mixed with some questionable decisions by the network… but..

NO, CARTOON NETWORK isn't changing its name. Not anytime soon anyways… they were gonna... But I think their reality show idea didn't go as well as they had hoped, so… they're kinda backing out of that idea. Yay for cartoons!

No, Flapjack isn't cancelled. They haven't even started airing our second season yet, which is the best yet. They just had us make up our schedules and budget for third season…

Although they DID pull us off the air in Canada, because we're for too old of an audience or something. Which I think is funny… sorry Canada, your country only wants baby cartoons… ;-:

The system DOES work. 😮

Late night Saturday has better stuff.
Bleach
Moribito
Code Geass
The Big O
Inuyasha
Cowboy Bebop
Full Metal Alchemist

The rest is crap.

wait...FlapJack is too mature for Canada kids??

I don't know about 'mature', but the show consistently does well with older viewers... which is a bit of a sore spot with CN execs who want something that can pull in the age group that worships Spongebob Squarepants. Because attracting the 3-9 crowd means advertisers have to pay more for their spots to air alongside said show, which means more $$ in CN's corner. Or something like that.

Don't be mislead. It's Teletoon CANADA. IT want's baby cartoons, not the Canadian viewers. I think another reason was that Teletoon would switch the scheduling for Flapjack would change constantly (Then again, I never was into the show).

Isn't that one of several reasons why shows like Animaniacs got cancelled? They kept bringing in the wrong demographics for the advertisers? Wish Warners would just finish off the DVD releases rather than stopping dead halfway through...

I'm pretty sure they played Invader Zim in the 3pm children's slot on one of the UK tv channels.. no wonder it got cancelled so quickly, harmless stuff like teletubbies normally gets played at that time. never worked out why they thought it would appeal to children that young.

Because the Executives never really pay attention to the product they are showcasing. If it's animated, no matter WHAT the subject is, it's still for kids because its animated. Which always give the ol 'knee jerk reaction' to when shows like Zim get canned instead of moving to a later time slot (Or Teletoon and Flapjack which aired Saturdays @ 11)

As for Cartoon Network. Why can't they have both. It worked for the first two years of Teletoon, spiting shows based on Day (Pre-School), Afternoon( Kids 8-130, Evening(14-17) & Night(18+). Of course that was before the incident...

I haven't posted here in maybe a year and these two sentences have awoken me...with rage. Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! is quite possibly one of my favorite shows on television right now . I can understand where you're coming from though because of how mentally hilarious some of the segments are, but finding that one nugget of sweet sweet corn immersed in crap is really worth it sometimes. And hopefully season cinco is the last one, as the crap to comedy ratio is falling out of whack =/
