I stopped watching Cartoon Network around the time Toonami died.
Ocassionally I'd flick over to something late at night, like Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, Justice League, Teen titans etc. I started watching Ben 10 for a little bit and even Batman B&B, but I just avoid TV entirely now. Nickelodeon is dead and so is Disney Channel. Fucking kids of today.

End of the 90s was when I can literally not think of a single cartoon that sucked on CN. Even shows like courage the cowardly dog, which while interesting just didn't appeal to me, eventually grew on me and I began to appreciate them with time. Beginning of the 90s were also glory days in many ways too...but not as much as when the Cartoon cartoon initiative really took off - that one really made it into solid gold.
Nowadays there are still good toons that are made I think. But it's like the ratio has dropped to something like 1/3 good stuff, 2/3 cut-pasted CGI-driven crud. Then there are shows like Ben 10 whose beginning I actually liked and loved the characterization, but which eventually just grew into something I had far less interest in watching (Alien Force). One thing that does piss me off regardless though is the amount of fluff they've recently shoved inbetween cartoons. I liked the older 90s adverts a lot more, since you felt as if they were focused on promoting the toons during other times...nowadays it just feels way too corporate tbh.
So I wouldn't say CN is dead or such BS that keeps flying about all the time. Sure, things like Teen Drama piss me off but...meh. With news like Genndy Tartakovsky coming back with a brand new show and hopefully one or two other studios deciding to follow suit...I can see it becoming better soon enough.

I miss the old cartoon network. I miss Dexter's Lab, Looney Toons, ect. You know, the old stuff, the GOOD stuff. Now they have utter shit like Total Suckage Island! Oh, CN, how could you fall SO far? Same with Nickelodian. How did stuff like Rugrats NOT survive? "oh don't worry, we have the fairly odd parents", FUUUUUCK YOOOOOU! I want my good cartoons back damn it!
Anyone remember CNX? Think it was called CNX, it later became Toonami. I remember watching Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star and Spawn every night. They also had random kung fu flicks and stuff most nights, Toonami was cool and all but I prefered the more adult CNX listings.
Anywho, I'm with everyone else in here: Cartoon Network is a shadow of it's former self.

i lost interest when they started fucking with it and moved it to Saturdays only, now,sabercrusader said:
fuck CN, ALL the good shows are gone, replaced with crap, don't even watch adult swim, but, i've also have forsaken TV on the whole
Well, there was the fact that they got rid of Megas, as you said. And then there's all that Ben 10 bullshit...
But that one Canadian cartoon, I forget what it's called, about a reality TV show is pretty good... And they ended Ed, Edd and Eddy on a spectacular movie, so it's about even.

CN is actually starting to get much better now. Sym-Biotic Titan is an excellent show, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. is absolutely fantastic. While I don't really dig Adventure Time/Regular Show, I appreciate that they are quality shows (for the record I prefer Regular Show). I feel I have to mention Generator Rex and Ben 10 as well, I hate them but at least they aren't total crap.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is NOT CANCELED. The new season of Batman just started, I can't believe the amount of people saying that it is. They show new episodes of it on Fridays, along with Sym-Biotic Titan.
Anyone who says CN sucks is just bitter about canceled shows. Yes, it sucks CN canceled a bunch of good shows, but give them a chance. I'm more mad at the people that didn't watch the shows than the people that canceled them. I mean, they're a business what are they going to do. Apparently, they are a bunch of people that aren't watching the brilliant shows (Batman, Scooby, Sym-Biotic) on CN based on the comments on this thread. There's pretty much no buzz on those shows, yet they are on par or better than some of the shows people are complaining about. It just seems so hypocritical. Watch the shows maybe we might be able to keep them. Gah! Sorry for the rant, it makes me so mad.
It's weird that at the time CN started airing awful reality and live-action programs like "Unnatural History" and "Dude, What Would Happen" good cartoons started to appear. They should get rid of the live-action/reality shows it really undermines the quality cartoons they're getting.

That avatar. It made me laugh. Loudly. Thank you.YoBadMama said:
Anyway, I think it's safe to say that Cartoon Network went down the shitter when Johnny Bravo left its programming schedule and anything after that was just gasping for air. Of course, I'm not including Adult Swim in this assessment, as that would require quite a lot more writing to describe.
American cartoons in general suck these days. There have been exceptions, like the wonderfully bizarre and creative Invader Zim and the fantasy masterpiece Avatar: The Last Airbender, but beyond that there hasn't been much quality since Recess. And considering neither of the shows I mentioned were on Cartoon Network, I'm going to say I simply don't care. They haven't done anything to specifically offend me, I just see no real quality there.
