Just seeing if anyone here is a fan of Cartoon Network? I myself am, I am digging the bumps they have been featuring since last year with the little paint characters ( I hear they are called "Nood's") and I am loving the Friday night "You are Here" line up as well as the Saturday morning lineups and Adult Swim at nights. So what shows do you enjoy?

Nosauz · 2009-03-06, 08:13

I am, where else can you get reruns of sealab 2021, and venture brothers? Exactly plus I think the gar est animated character ever is Brock Sampson. Though after they lost futurama, the urge to watch cn has dramatically dipped, since I can basically catch up onn daily show eps on comedy central.

I love Cartoon Network! I Watch it all the time at night I enjoy Family Guy and King of the Hill and Robot Chicken and its Sat night Anime line up

What a heck is Cartoon Network? Is it food?

GreenLama · 2009-03-06, 09:31

Anyone watch any of the action lineup on Friday nights? The Secret Saturdays, Batman, Ben 10 and Star Wars? Good stuff!

endless2010 · 2009-03-06, 11:11

I don't but to me Cartoon Network is not what it use to be. Toonami died a horrible death. The Friday lineup doesn't compare to the heyday of Dexter's lab, The Powerpuff Girls, Johny Bravo, Samurai Jack, and Ed Edd and Eddy. Even Adult Swim has taken a big drop in quality. They are actually giving the PJ's for goodness sake!

Bad times for Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network is a Channel that show only Cartoons 24/7

I loved when they had Hi Hi Puffy AMI Yumi too bad they do not show them anymore.

@ endless2010 I agree with you. The new shows are only 15 min long and they are on the weird side now too!

I use to watch cartoon network all the time but right now it's just not the same. Except maybe for chowder, the marvelous misadventures of flap jack and adult swim. everything else i watch on Boomerang

Vexx · 2009-03-06, 13:56

The network spends more time in commercial mode and telling you what is "coming up next" than actually SHOWING any cartoons. Couple that with a serious lack of innovation and demise of some very good cartoons and I stopped even looking for it a few years ago.

Sinfully Naomi · 2009-03-06, 13:59

Most cartoon on CN suck now. Ben 10 lost it's touch, I can't even get into that secret saturday crap. >.<

I only really like Flapjack now... I wish Ed Edd 'n Eddy didn't end.

chikorita157 · 2009-03-06, 15:02

I used to watch Cartoon Network, but not anymore because it's just not that great anymore... since none of the shows really interests me or even that great anymore.

james0246 · 2009-03-06, 17:00

I never really watched Cartoon Network, or at least, I never really watched the majority of their content. I used to watch some of Toonami (Dexter and Samurai Jack predominately (then some of the Teen Titans and JLA)), but my primary viewing was always Adult Swim. I remember Space Ghost from back in the day (before Moltar quit his day job at Toonami) and loved the initial seasons of all their midnight+ shows (Aqua Teen, Sealab, Harvey, Brak, etc), and when they attained Futurama and Family Guy, I became a constant viewer. Now adays, I am more interested again because of King of the Hill (a significantly underappreciated cartoon), and a few of their other shows (I do love Tom Goes to the Mayor, and some of the skits on Tim and Eric harkens back to the good ole days of SCTV (I wish they would keep the SCTV angle, and drop some of the extraneous ideas that pop up), and Venture Bros and Friskey Dingo). And, of course, Moral Orel, not only the best original programming on the network, but probably, during its run, one of the bests shows on American television.

GuidoHunter_Toki · 2009-03-06, 17:27

I used to watch CN all the time, but now only watch it for Adult Swim. Flapjack is the only show that even draws me in at all and they do occasionally show Courage the Cowardly dog and Ed Edd n Eddy. I started becoming pissed at CN after they cancelled Samurai Jack. Thats when things started going down hill and shows were falling like clockwork. They started pulling out shows that wouldn't even last 3 months before they were canned. And as one person above said "Toonami died a horrible death". Toonami did start showing Samurai Jack towards the end of its life, but I already owned the boxsets so it garnered little interest from me.

Amen to that. I used to be a fan back when it first came on since Toonami showed Sailor Moon S and SS way back in the day. I loved Dexter's Lab, still one of my fave cartoons ever. I used to watch Adult Swim alot but since they got rid of Futurama I havent been unless Venture Bros is on but they change the line up too much :/ Plus the newer stuff on AS doesnt compare to the older stuff.

I was in that mindset for about a year or two after they completely stopped showing shows like Sealab. Recently I started really getting into some of their new shows. I don't think they have as many good quality shows as they did back in the day, but some of my favorite adult swim original programs are actually their newer stuff like Superjail, Xavier, Metalocalypse.

Ed Edd 'n Eddy ended? sad times

i used to watch Cartoon Network all the time a few years back, Toonami was my favourite, In fact Cartoon Network got me into Anime...aaah good times....

Then we moved house and didn't have Cable to watch Cartoon Network on anymore, that sucked.

I hear CN is terribad now....oh well at least i left it when it was still good, i would rather not see something i love slowly degrade into generic crap.

Vexx · 2009-03-06, 17:52

You always have to be careful with "old stuff better than new stuff" assessments. It takes a little extra work to see but sometimes "new stuff" is better. However, the Cartoon Network has slid down the same hill most of the other special interest networks slid down. Like the Discovery Channel used to be about *science* rather than pulling in the "omfgbbqamazing" psuedo-science crap of the week, or how MTV used to actually play music videos and the ones they played were actually goofy fun exploring the visual medium instead of posing baloney... and well, most of the channels have pretty much gone to shit in terms of content and commercial time ratios.

Nosauz · 2009-03-06, 18:02

my favorite speciality channel has got to be the travel channel, wpt paired up with Anthony Bourdain in no reservations is just complete awesome. When I think about old school Toonami I always think about reboot, animaniacs, pinky and the brain, though those shows never really where on cn, cn seemed to have strong ties to them. A lot of their new programming is dark satirical stuff that I find very ineteresting. Venture brothers, Metalocalypse to name a few. I really do surmise that content is not king, yet thats the pitch hollywood seems to throw around when talking about the silverscreen.

@ WHite Majin Buu
The problem with venture brothers was they split the season in two, and had the first half premiere in the fall like most full season shows, then around christmas, they stopped, and their about to release the second half of season 3 in the spring/summer. Overall that just killed my enthusiam for the show, even though the writing has gotten better as we have gone, which is pretty rare.

For channels, disney is actually pretty good, their jetix line up consists of the amazing spiderman, xmen, the incredible hulk, and iron man, bascially all the classics that I grew up with, and boy does that nostalgia just tickle me in all the right places.

EmP|ty · 2009-03-06, 20:47

oh gawd...what was that show that used to be on cartoon network toonami..with the giant robot and the fat dude and skinny guy....the robot used to be that chicks but the guy found it and reconfigured all the controls to joysticks and shit..

I used to watch that thing religiously when i was a kid...Cartoon Network was...ahhhh nostalgia...
