Raise your hand if you remember back when Cartoon Network used to show cool stuff like Samurai Jack or Megas XLR (raise your other hand if you even remember the second one). Yes, this was the Cartoon Network of the nineties and early two-thousands. Back when we were tykes and watched Courage the Cowardly Dog and Johny Bravo, back when they had shows that I would still watch today. But now Cartoon Network only shows crap that I would could best describe as something I'd expect to see on the cover of a Beatles Album.
Squirrel Boy, Chowder, Captain Flapjack, My Gym Partner is a Monkey. If the hours that I've spent with my younger cousins and Wikipedia have anything to say, this is the crap that they show now. Hell, half the stuff that they're starting to show isn't even animated anymore. I'm pretty sure that they had some kind of live-action TV movie for that Ben 10 thing, and they're also putting on a GHOST HUNTING show. Yes, a show about a bunch of Ghost Hunter wannabe kids getting themselves wrapped up in the occult, which is probably just their imagination going nuts. Come on, how can you call yourself Cartoon Network if you hardly ever show Cartoons?
And they took off Toonami too, seriously, why? Why would they take off Toonami of all things? They had some pretty cool shows on there like Mobile Suit Gundam or Outlaw Star or Justice Liege or Transformers: Armada. So they take off Toonami, great. They take off their block of awesome shows, pretty much screwing over the rest of the network.
I've come to the conclusion that Cartoon Network is trying to raise a generation of children off of crappy and freakish cartoons so that way they'll have no sense of what's good and what's not and will eagerly buy crap movies and such in this time of economic crisis in hopes that it will help the economy.
