I would LOVE to see Centurions again. CN could show some of the OLDER X-Men cartoons, like Pryde of the X-Men. CN for about a week, a month ago aired the first 5 eps(Albeit out of order) of SWAT Kats. |

Man, I thought it was funny to discover, while venturing around through the TV channels, to see Dumb and Dumber on CN. I mean, they even kept the guns in. It was quite amusing.
However, who honestly even cares about Saved by the Bell nowadays? I never watched it when I was little and I can guarantee me and over half of the American population probably won't want to watch it again. It's done and over with. I mean, AS would get tons better ratings showing something like That 70's Show or something, y'know? (but that show's on like five different stations right now anyways) Bah, no more pure cartoon channels makes me sad inside... and probably a ton of other kids as well. Oh well, don't watch TV much nowadays unless it's the Simpsons, 70's Show, or Family Guy. I get bored too easily, that and the internet has claimed my life. D: |

I just love the people who say, "Well, if you don't like the live-action stuff, then don't watch it." Obviously I don't have to watch it.
But on a cable channel called CARTOON NETWORK, I expect to find cartoons. Only cartoons. Otherwise it can't call itself "Cartoon Network". That's like Food Network airing Godzilla movies or the Weather Channel having programming that doesn't tell you the--- okay, so bad example with the Weather Channel. My point is, Cartoon Network is about cartoons. I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons to air shows like Saved By The Bell or movies like Honey, I Shrunk The Kids - but not on Cartoon Network. Turner has plenty of other stations to stick that type of programming on. All of which a person who gets CN will probably also have as part of their cable lineup. CN is for cartoons. Barring any Banana Splits rerun revivals, mind you. |

I didn't mind Honey I Shrunk The Kids because it does actually have animation in the opening credits, and the ant & scorpion where done with claymation. I still can't figure out why The Goonies and dumb and dumber aired though on CN. At least Batman and Spider-Man are based off of animated comics. Can anyone see Lord of the Rings on CN the way things are going right now?

LOL. If LOTR does at one point air on AS, expect to see those dumb commercials that TBS ( sorry, can't remember exactly which station) is airing with the whole gay music montage thing. Anyways, yea, I used to watch the original CN when they were still showing awesome action shows like Swat Kats. Now they split off that section of cartoons with blocks like Miguzi (does anyone at watch that?) and Toonami (which I like much better but it only shows ONCE a week). Hell, if they showed re-runs of Justice Leage, I'd watch CN more. In any case, they have way more options than showing movies totally unrelated to animation. I know they're a business, but the whole "cartoon only" thing was supposed to be their trade mark. It feels kinda weird that they'd show anything that was hand drawn or animated.

Seriously that's the same thing that bothers me. Actually I was bothered by Batman, and I actually love the movie. Who framed Rodger Rabbit? was cool, but only because the movie is great and has cartoons in it. They are going to find themselves loosing their older demographic on this. I can stand to watch some of the original shows for kids (with the exception of Ed Ed and Eddy), even liking some, but I've watched an extremely decreasing amount of Nick and Disney. Infact I can really only stomac Disney's cartoons and normal movies (not original), and The Older Nicktoons reruns (plus Rugrats:All Grown Up).
Yeah, this is also true. G4 is crap! They also let their Anime unleashed thing go down the whole with no new programs and showing their old shows out of order.
Also yeah, not for adult swim to put Sonic, Doug, and stuff but they could use that instead. Save By the Bell is stupid, it was stupid even when I was a little kid. They seriously need to not have that on, It's only tolerable at 5am. |

Nick at Nite is the NUMBER ONE NETWORK WITH ADULTS. People like old crap, even if they watch it over and over and over and over. |

Someone could correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd go one step further to say that when CN first went on the air, it explicitly pledged to run only cartoons, all the time. Can't help but feel a bit betrayed now.
I'm still rather hoping the saved by the bell thing is a joke. If it isn't, I can only hope ratings will plumet for that block. Oh well, I watch too much TV anyway. now the live-action blocks of CN is just one less thing for me to watch. |

Dude....properly spelled and punctuated sentences are your friends. USE THEM. The whole idea here is beyond retarded. Cartoon Network is supposed to be just that...a network for cartoons. They can show all the live action programs that they want, but their core audience won't watch them, because they watch that show to watch cartoons. Sure, the ratings in total might not take a hit, but they lose the dedicated fans, and then they're stuck grasping for straws to keep whatever fans they can. The same thing happened to MTV. I am the very definition of what should be an MTV viewer. I am obsessed with music. My day is basically divided into two portions: time I'm listening or thinking about music, and time I'm sleeping. I watched MTV obsessively....until they stopped showing videos. But then they started MTV2! Still all videos! And I watched it all the time! And....then they stopped showing videos. Now, not only do I not watch MTV or MTV2, I don't EVER bother to even look at what they're showing. They have gone from having me as a regular viewer to a casual viewer to a complete non-viewer, and while their core audience has evaporated they desperately grasp at straws for something that will appeal to a new audience. Sometimes they succeed (Laguna Beach), sometimes they fail (Andy Milonakis...I've never even seen his show, but I've never spoken to a single person that likes it), but they will never reach the demographic of "I like music, so I'll watch MUSIC television!" ever again. If Cartoon Network starts stuffing their programming with live action tripe like Saved By the Bell, they'll be facing the same damn problems. |
