I do remeber liking CN's Friday night block that has live-action hosts and usually premiered new episodes of cartoons and TV movies.

But maybe that's just because it was a fun and quick intermission between programming instead of an actual live-action sitcom, nor a crappy attempt at one like all of their live-action sitcoms turned out, at that.

 

[SneakyLink]

I remember watching Out of Jimmy's Head. The plot was all about some kid becoming braindead because of a theme park accident and they had to do transplant surgery from the cartoonist the theme park was named after, and thus, the cartoons came to life... Out of Jimmy's head.


It also sucked ass.

I think that was the plot of the prequel movie, which was also terrible.

Really the last thing I remember watching on the network was Flapjack, which was miles better than some of the other content airing at the time (Johnny Test was on the network) and they changed premieres from Fridays to Thursdays, which was bad for kids who go to school since they likely couldn't watch their favorites(?).

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I remember being forced to watch "Dude what would happen?" and "Destroy build destroy" when I was a kid cause my older brother loved them; idk if they were even good cause its been so long but those are like the only live action CN shows I remember.

Edit: and hole in the wall

 

[Wademan94]

Guess so. The image I learned it from used the exact meme you did, funnily enough.

Following the Miller era, I'm gonna see exactly where this goes... schadenfreude may or may not be involved.

WHAT VIEWERS DID THEY RUN THIS STUPID IDEA BY?!?!

Unfortunately I think that show was the reason I actually started on the path to become a cartoonist/animator.

 

[TheMightyP]

So can I be honest?

I actually liked Destroy Build Destroy, Incredible Crew, and Hole in the Wall. I get that they weren't cartoons on Cartoon Network, but I found them entertaining.

I never really cared for Dude What Would Happen, poor mans Mythbusters. I hated out of Jimmy's Head, and I never heard of anything else that aired on CN real.

Also, I Liked the Annoying Orange show

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Just imagine what the pitch was.

"Okay, so get this, it's Cartoon Network... BUT WE AIR SHOWS THAT AREN'T CARTOONS AT ALL!"

 

[DerpingPikachu]

Also, I Liked the Annoying Orange show

I did too when it was airing lol, for some reason I was super obsessed with the YouTube channel as a kid.

Sometimes I come across my orange plush in the back of my closet and go "why"

 

[Metal Shop X]

Just imagine what the pitch was.

"Okay, so get this, it's Cartoon Network... BUT WE AIR SHOWS THAT AREN'T CARTOONS AT ALL!"

"GIVE THIS MAN A COOKIE AND A PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROMOTION!"

Their reaction, probably;
(Big f-bomb, but considering who's talking, it's not a surprise.)

Reminds me of a Foxtrot strip in which Jason complains that they're the Cartoon Network and they're supposed to run Cartoons. He compares it to "a news network running stuff besides news"

Spoiler

Meanwhile on the News Channel Jason tuned in to, the guests debate which of their books one should buy.

Gotta keep up with Nick and Disney Channel SOMEhow...

One question.

How the hell did Hole in the Wall never got turned into a meme!?

You suddenly drive a car down the street and hear the guy shout "BRING ON THE WALL!" as he like "what the **** am I so supposed to do?!".

And also Hole in the Wall was a good show. Watched the UK version.

Okay, yeah, Hole in the Wall was actually entertaining. I personally don't remember anything about the other two shows you liked, though. Incredible Crew doesn't sound even vaguely familiar to me.

And to be fair, a lot of other people watched the Annoying Orange for someone besides the Orange.

Now that I know the context behind this ASDF clip, I know now it's a potent forum weapon.

Ouuuch. That must smart.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I've only watched CN in recent years for Adventure Time, Regular Show and Steven Universe.

All of their reboots sucked, I unfortunately missed out on Over the Garden Wall in it's time, I don't care about Gumball beyond the memes, and the day they stop spamming Teen Titans Go for good will be a historic day for the animation industry.

My friend liked the $40 Steam cards I got him for his birthday.

Tomorrow he is going to hand me my birthday present (assuming Amazon delivers on time)

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Taggin' @JDCabrera Since I know he likes MMBN.

Just watched SomecallmeJohnny's Balan Wonderworld video.... I'm not gonna get the game anymore. And I'm even more disappointed in it. Goodbye platformers, we hardly knew ye.

oh great...oh ****ing great WWE...another Black Wednesday (only on Thursday this year...so Black Thursday)...follow up the best wrestling time of the year with the worst time of the year

The platformer genre is doing just fine. One bad game isn’t gonna ruin things. No one was building this up to be the savior of platformers.

Exactly! We still have games starring Sonic, Crash, Spyro, etc. But most importantly, we still have Mario games.

It was a failure when it named itself Wonderworld and not Wonderland.

A revelation that still lurks in my skull.

You underestimate how STUPID these corporate executives are.

Again, maybe aside from some companies, those are just Square Enix with Balan Wonderworld. It might be the end of platformers where they are concerned, but that won't be the case for many others, or anywhere else.

Oh brother. You are being too pessimistic, SnakeFighter. It's not the end of platformers.

First, hating memes, and now, platformers dead because of a single game? What's next? A conspiracy theory on Mickey Mouse and Disney buying the whole video game industry?
