Why Cartoonnetwork? Why?

What makes it worse is he gets MULTIPLE guns pointed at him in an episode that did not get banned.infernovolver said:
The squirtle squad one? He's trying to get a super potion from the shop, and he runs in after Team Rocket rob the place, and he says "I need a super potion, quick!" and the shopkeepers aim guns at him.
Captain Planet was great?bluepilot said:
I agree with you there. It seems like each generation becomes more complacent, lazy, bratty and generally fucked up than the next. All this lovey-fluffy-over-protect-the-children shit is doing nothing if not worsening the issue. Kids DO have to learn some things for themselves, no matter how many times the parent tells them about it. Back in my day, you learned that the freaking stove was hot because you put your dumb little fingers on it and got burned. And I'm not even talking about that long ago... I'm only 20 for crissakes. Also, I watched Looney Tunes since before I could walk--which is apparently too violent for kids nowadays--but I was fucking smart enough to understand the difference between slapstick fantasy and actually hitting someone in the face with an anvil. I didn't 'learn violent behavior' because of it... if anything I learned to recognize bits of Classical music.Darkside360 said:
This trend is really pissing me off.
Not to mention throwing creativity out of the window. "Hey look kids, this is what people your age SHOULD be doing, nevermind self-exploration and imagination." It's not just CN... it's all kid-viewer networks anymore.
OK, I'm done. If I keep going on these disjointed little tangents, it'll degrade into curse words and frothing at the mouth.
I'm in JROTC, does that count?
Seriously, The present Cartoon Network is a steaming pile of shit compared to how it was years ago... it pains me to see how such a great channel can go so low.
The shows I miss:
Ed, Edd, n Eddy
Zoids
Samurai Jack
Megas XLR
Tom and Jerry (I think I have the first movies laying around somewhere)
Dexters Lab
Looney Toons
Dragon Ball Z
Tenchi Series
The Toonami TIE Events(THESE WERE AWESOME)
and others I fail to remember...sadly.
R.I.P Classic Cartoon Network. You will be missed.
Cartoon Network is limping on its last leg, and that leg is adult swim. And even that is limping. Seriously, what the fuck happened to Mission Hill?!
Looking back at what cartoon network was, and now looking at what it is... it is sad.
All the shows that have gone...
I shed a tear for them *sheds tear*
Good night, sweet princes...
Cartoon Network needs to dedicate a week to all of its old shows.
Ed, Edd, n' Eddy
Johnny Bravo
Samurai Jack
Megas XLR
Courage the Cowerdly Dog
Dragon Ball Z
Dexter's Lab
...
Toonami
Ruroni Kenshin
...
The old Pokemon series
and many, many more
sorry, the "..." denotes me sniffling and trying not to cry...
I need a hug

wait a minute an episode of poke' mon was banned because Ash got gun pointed at him???infernovolver said:
They do realize that this is the same generation that gets to turn cops into big O' piles giblets every christmas right???
By the by, the thought of ash getting his brains blown out of his head while a baddy goes "Smith&Weson I choose you." puts a huge smile on my face.
I miss the old cartoons like "The Angry Beavers" "Rocko's Modern Life" "Hey Arnold" (I know they're from Nick). They had alot of satire and messages in them, but now it seems like cartoons are just inane babbling so parents don't have to deal with their kids for half an hour.
you really do need to be a child to fully appreciate it tbh, I have watched it with younger cousins and with older cynicism, it just dont work
The only things I watch now on cartoon network is Bleach, Robot Chicken, and sometimes Squidbillies. I HATE all the new live show. And who the hell thinks Tom and Eric or any of that crap is funny. I can find better things to watch on Youtube because if it sucks, I know nobody got paid.
Well, when I was little I used to watch Cartoon Network a lot, for the good stuff. Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed Edd and Eddy, I Am Weasel, latterly Codename: Kids Next Door and Code Lyoko, and Samurai Jack. To name but a few. Yeah, I watched a lot of cartoons as a kid. After I started to head into my teens, I moved to Nickalodeon for, among others, The Amanda Show, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101 and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. I also watched a few things on the Disney Channel, like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and I'll admit, a few episodes occasionally of Hannah Montana. Bear in mind this was when I was very bored, and a couple of years ago too.
Now, you'll all be wondering what that whole paragraph was about, right? What was the point? No? Huh? Oh, alright then. Well, I'll tell you anyway, hah. Basically I liked Cartoon Network when I was little, then moved to other things. But just recently, being at home from university with no job and nothing to do, I decided to start watching some more of the old shows I used to love. Fine, a fair bit of Disney and Nick, but I also went back to Cartoon Network simply for the new Scooby Doo stuff, and X-Men Evolution. And everything else is changed. The old stuff is still on occasionally, but there's a lot more anime and a lot more new stuff that I just can't get into. And so I spend more time watching the new Disney shows now than watching my old favourites.
The fact is, Cartoon Network has moved on. I used to watch the greats, and that was good. But now I'm older I don't watch Cartoon Network much any more. We need to make way for the younger kids who are starting to watch it now, and they have different tastes to us. It's like music. The older generation loved their classics, and now they complain about the newer artists that we're all into and pop up in the charts so often. Things change, and that's all there is to it.

well wow, i didn't even know people were still writing in this topic. Thanks everyone. At least everyone gets my point.
They've just run out of ideas recently, hopefully that'll change in the near future but until then... BRING BACK DEXTERS LAB!!!
