I'm still pissed that Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends ended, that was easily one of the most clever, amazing modern cartoons I've ever seen. And the opening feature-length episode was quite possibly my favorite TV-movie of all time.
Cartoon Network. I hate you

I watch whatever premieres for new shows whenever I can, hoping that they'll be better than what we've come to expect from CN... I miss the old Cartoon Network.
The CN of today = MTV 4 kids.
Yeah, it stinks that Toonami is canceled and all of this live action bullcrap infected CN's airwaves, but there are some signs of improvement. Stuff like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Sym-Biotic Titan, and MAD are very good shows to watch, and they still show some classic CN shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog and Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
If only they remove the reality sh!t and revive Toonami, CN would definitely be more watchable. Even though it might not happen anytime soon, we can sure hope that it will.

Since I'm in the UK, all the shows generally get shuffled around (e.g. Teen Drama Island got shifted over to Jetix, and was pretty much dropped when they rebranded to Disney XD in favour of more Zach & Cody and Phineous and Furb re-runs). I do have to say that I'm not a fan of Chowder, it's a poor man's Spongbob (and I dislike Spongebob).
At lest Boomerang has got a decent balance, Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes. The new Garfield is OK in my opinion, too. Can;t recall if they dropped My Spy Family yet, it was a bad My Parents Are Aliens! clone.
Haven't paid much attention to CN Too (what killed off Toonami in the UK. Yes, Toonami was a dedicated channel here.), but it's programming list according to Wiki [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon_Network_Too#Current_programming] may be closer to what you are looking for.

They took violent humor out of everything.NonyaZ said:
I grew up with that stuff and I turned out okay.
Now with all this non-violent "safe for children" bullshit, ITS BORING
Two things that really pissed me off:
1) They cancelled Teen Titans on a horrendous cliffhanger so they could put Robin in a Batman cartoon. The two aren't mutually exclusive, especially since the one in the Batman cartoon was a different Robin! (Although they never "officially" said anything, it's implied that the TT one was Dick Grayson and I'm pretty sure it's canon that the Batman one is Tim Drake.)
2) They stopped showing any of the good shows on Toonami, then eventually cancelled it entirely. If they had continued playing anything good on it, then they wouldn't have needed to cancel it.

I don't think Cartoon Network is that bad. Sure they killed off some great shows, but they gave us new ones that are still good. Adventure Time, Flapjack, and Regular show are all good. But the live-action will be unforgiven. Thankfully, it's slowly dying.
I used to watch Cartoon Network all the time. I loved me some Ed Edd and Eddy, and Dexter's Laboratory was always great. Toonami was also always a treat, the insanity that was Bo Bo Bo Bo BoBoBo was a god send at the time. Luckily Cartoon Network's downturn pretty much happened about the same time I stopped regularly watching cartoons in general, or maybe its what caused me to stop....
Anyway, these days when I flip to that channel I just get a little sick, nothing compared to the shows I mentioned above, even today when I watch them.
