Cartoon Network thread
I am making this thread so everyone can talk about old and new Cartoon Network shows. Anyway i'll start by asking what was everyone's favorite stuff on it before new Cartoon Network started making everyone ether live action or a Ben 10 cartoon (Seriously it's on it's forth show right now!!) Anyway mine:Courage The cowardly Dog,Ed Edd N Eddy,Codename:Kids Next door (KND),Dexter's Lab,Xiaolin Showdown,Teen Titans. Also i'm not sure if some stuff like Xiaolin Showdown was on Cartoon Network in the US but it was on Cartoon Network in the UK.

The classic Ben 10
Samurai Jack
Code: Lyoko
Teletoon's Stoked
and SYM-BIONIC TITAN
No matter what anyone says, these will always be the best to me
Ok fair enough the first Ben 10 was great.
Oh, I almost forgot...Young Justice
Well it's dancin on a knife's edge for me and hope it doesn't crash and burn like some of the other shows CN has shown.
pretty interesting watch
Everything I've heard of Young Justice is that it's really good, but so was ThunderCats. Problem is, Cartoon Network had NO faith in ThunderCats. In fact, they might as well just change their name. Any good cartoons that hit the air on Cartoon Network won't survive.
Rest in peace.
For anyone looking for a nostalgia kick for these old Cartoon Cartoons, there's two webcomics I can't recommend enough: Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi and Grim Tales from Down Below, both by an artist called Bleedman.
In syndication. It started on Kids WB.
The classic Ben 10 and Robot Chicken was one of the most watched shows by me.
Never really caught on anything else, and I stopped watching way before stuff like Robot Chicken aired.
Oh yeah, I guess the new one counts as CN because of viacom. I say B&B as well.
Powerpuff Girls,Cow & Chicken and Johnny Bravo were great too. Also was The Batman, and Teen Titans on that Kids WB too?
Also, this thread reminded me to watch the 20th year anniversary montage video.
That was great! Even better when the video had Teen Titans and Foster's Home for imaginary friends.
Yes, though the Teen Titans revival, Teen Titans Go!, is going to debut on Cartoon Network next year.
Is the new Teen Titans Go! cartoon going to be done in the same style as The first Teen Titans series or will it be different?
It's apparently going in more of a comedy direction than the original. Plus the style is going to be different.
It's very different in style and tone. Chibi-style animation and comedic stories rather than continuing the series.
Essentially. The same way Star Wars Detours is going to be a full series of Robot Chicken sketches. Could be good, but in both cases I have doubts as to whether these ideas can be expanded on for a full half-hour show.
And you'll have to admit it. ThunderCats, how awesome it is, isn't marketable. Same reason why shows like Secret Saturdays or Sym-Bionic Titan got cancelled. You can't market this shit. I mean, what, do you really think kids would buy a cryptid plushie, or a "Booty Quake Kimmy" doll? Young boys nowadays don't play with action figures anymore, so the days of ThunderCats action figures are long gone.
Also, Sym-Bionic Titan was most likely canned due to a dispute between Cartoon Network and Genndy Tartakovsky.
Also symbiotic titan didnt get renewed because they werent selling toys. Thus it wasnt really making money. Sad, but it is a business they run. To be honest though, I didnt like it all that much.
Chowder almost never got greenlit because there was a fear amongst producers that it was suporting childhood obesity.
I don't know about in the US but here in the UK they never have The Batman,Teen Titans,Xiaolin Showdown,Justice League Unlimited on anymore.
You'd be surprised how well GOOD figures would sell. Bandai's figures were not good. The smaller scale figures had good detailing in some areas, but crappy accessories and the Thunder Lynx features unnecessarily bulked up the figures. The bigger figures had faces that looked like someone just put stickers on them and ugly joints. You also don't help things by making the Deluxe Sword of Omens really small, and the "Basic" Sword of Omens wouldn't be a sword for even a Hobbit.
And the Toonami timeslot is a joke. Putting a show on at 2:30 AM is stupid.

Your joking right? Jeez they might as well rename themselves ''Live Action Network'' or ''Ben 10 Network''
Eventually Cartoon Network needs to learn that the audience will not take this shit anymore if they want people to still watch it. They can't keep on building on the only two shows that get people to watch (Regular Show and Adventure Time).
And before anyone suggests it, no, a boycott will not help at all. It would mean that everybody needs to keep to this boycott, which just won't happen. There is absolutely nothing we can do against this bullshittery.
Also here's a video called the top 10 worst moves by CN

Mystery Incorporated.
We're halfway at season 2, with only 11 episodes to go before the series is complete. They don't need to stall the show in order to secretly cancel it, because after season 2, the series is done anyway. There were only supposed to be 52 episodes, or at least that was the original plan. With Cartoon Network stalling shit, they might have given us the impression that they expected more.
WE DIDN'T.
Then this entire thing makes even less sense.
