Wish a very Happy Birthday to Cartoon Networkit might legit be the last time you can
>>155685445Happy birthday, oldtimer
>>155685445What the fuck went so wrong?
>>155685527>general decline of cable television>not given any proper attention or consideration during multiple mergers>poor adaptation to how kids view their media nowany other "explanations" that talk about "cultural wars" is rightarded bs
>>155685685>poor adaptation to how kids view their media nowDoes the over shilling of Teen Titans Go fall under this?
>>155685685I'd tack on CNReal as well, just a money drain that did nothing but hurt the channel in the long run.>>155685722I'd think so, same thing with Nick and Spongbob. A kid can only watch so much before they get bored of seeing the same characters every hour.
>>155685685And the fact that the wrong people were charge. Almost everything went wrong when people started hiring their friends instead of qualified people.
>>155685744>I'd tack on CNReal as well, just a money drain that did nothing but hurt the channel in the long run.I always thought they recovered from that well enough. Say whatever you want about the shows themselves, but having>Adventure Time>Regular Show>Steven Universe>The Amazing World of Gumball>Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated>Sym-Bionic Titanamong others felt like the start of a comeback.
>>155685445happy birthday to the channel that used to be good
>>155685844>steven universe>start of a comebackDo NOT fucking put Sym-Bionic Titan next to that.
>>155686312Too bad so sad
>>155686334adventuretranny you've never even played deus ex
>>155686350Nice seething, fag
>>155685685Don't act like all the faggot troon cartoons didn't make things worse.
>>155686312The point is that they had stuff that actually appealed to people.
>>155686389They weren’t about you
>>155685844Speaking on CN Real, the Bobb'e Says guy got put in prison.
>>155685445Happy birthday, I guess.It'll never be not be sad seeing how this channel fell from grace.
CN died a long time ago for me, I don't really care.
what cartoons are kids watching these days
>>155685527>Time Warner overestimated the amount of adults who watch cartoons>No preschool shows and no live action kidcoms at first>Their originals couldn't compete with Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo and other classic Time Warner owned cartoons>DragonBall Z did a better job at appealing to 6-12 year old boys than The PowerPuff Girls>SpongeBob not ending after the movie and Camp Lazlo (and Chowder) couldn't compete with it>We Bare Bears, Steven Universe and Craig of The Creek were too soft
I know CN has been dogshit for years, and hasn't gotten any better...But I won't lie, the idea of it ending for good makes me sad
>>155689386>Time Warner overestimated the amount of adults who watch cartoonsNah, if anything they forgot about that. Adult Swim is only fucking thing that's relevant on the channel anymore, and CN proper trying to reel back everyone who grew up with them post-covid blew up in their face because it was too little too late
>>155686881trannies should be put into asylums not given platforms
>>155685685Retard lmao
CN should die and get replaced by adult swim completely. and adult swim brings back classic CN shows.
>>155690285Yea, start with you
>>155689386>Dragon Ball Z did a better job at appealing to 6-12 year old boys than The PowerPuff GirlsAnd as a reminder, Hamtaro did a much better job at appealing to 6-12 year old boys than Dragon Ball Z, but failed to get SpongeBob numbers hence why only 105 out of 296 episodes got dubbed and why only 296 episodes got made.>>155689325Whatever that is on MeTV Toons, mostly Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry/Droopy/MGM Tex Avery, Popeye, Betty Boop (because of the Fleischer estate's push of the short Max and Dave did, and they're bundled up with Popeye because of Max and Dave), Woody Woodpecker and his Walter Lants buddies such as Andy Panda and Chilly Willy, Mr.Magoo/UPA/Screen Gems, Casper and his Famous Studio buddies (bonus points with the Warner X Paramount merger that we get 40s and 60s Famous shots in this) and 1957-1963/1967 Hanna Barbera (Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, Ect.).
>>155689386>DragonBall Z did a better job at appealing to 6-12 year old boys than The PowerPuff GirlsIt's a good thing DBZ only aired in the afternoons (extension blocks don't count) and powerpuffs goes on in the night when everyone's home.
>>155690440>rightoid seething
>>155690651And Hamtaro ass raped it in the ratings.
>>155690677You are seething >>155690796Get out
>>155690617NOBODY LIKES YOU!!!!
>>155690677Obsessed lmao
K:I hope you had the time of your life, Cartoon Network..
>>155685445Happy bat day, birthman.
>>155685445There's a chance Teen Titan's Go will outlive Cartoon Network and that's pretty funny.
>>155691181That’s tragicomic, actually
>>155685445happy birthday, CN... I'm sorry for what they did to you.
>>155685445>>155690204>>155685445>folding under Nick potentiallyWe've had a fun run old man, but the past decade of nothing but middling dog shit, a bastard ceo led company and TTG reruns was going to end up like this. F and S
>>1556914602016 sucked ass
cable's been on zombie life support for the past 10 years. if cn was more independent they should pivot to being an ad-supported streaming app like tubibut in reality CN at this point is just a brand at the service of warner bros animation and hbo max
Honestly surprised to see it make it this far. I thought it's 30th would be it's last.
I wanna go home.
>>155685445TIM THE TEENAGE ZOMBIE!https://youtu.be/pr2PzKc92NA
>>155685527>Ted Turner wasn’t involved anymore>2008 recession and writers strike >Marketing of the Aqua Teen movie caused a Boston bomb scare >Change in management kicked out a lot of the old creators and and shifted to live action >CN real backfired hard >Adventure Time and Regular Show’s success changed how the network released episodes to pad out their length and released 1 new 11 min episode weekly>Killed off action shows because they didn’t want females watching it>Corporate mergers>Teen Titans Go being cheap to make and being super popular made it their SpongeBob >People in charge didn’t care about animation and wanted easy content
>>155686368>>155690808Nice going to bed, sperg.
>>155690859Rent free ayy
>>155685445Love you CN
>>155685527>What the fuck went so wrong?They let these genetic abominations make cartoons. And they made their art just as ugly as themselves. And then some retard decided their abhorrent art style should be the industry standard, and now we have calarts.
>>155694474What could've been.
>>155685527Teen titans go
>>155685527the wrong people got shows
>>155692738>Killed off action shows because they didn’t want females watching itI think moving the comedy block from Thursday to Monday but action staying on Fridays was bad move.
>>155694842Did I say bad, I meant Fatal.
>>155685527The death of TV, inability to adapt, trading their olderish audience for becoming a pre-school channel.
>>155688707>>155688732I like more the City Era that the Powehouse era, the bumbpers were always great but the programing got better after the 2000s.
>>155685527They were always jealous of the kind of viewership Nickelodeon and Disney Channel got
>>155694474Cope
>>155694880This.
>>155689386>We Bare BearsYou may not like it but it was objectively a huge hit and made a lot of money through merchandise. Turns out people liked cute, soft bears more than those unaesthetic calarts-style blobs. who would’ve guessed?
>>155692738If only Ted Turner gained control of Warner Bros entirely, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
>>155685445goodThis shit hasn't been good for twenty years.
>>155696701No
>>155691158What did he think of the expired coupon for new parents you gave him?
>>155696699They were not gonna let him have it
>>155685445Enjoy it while you can, before Oct.6th. Cuz then CN will Nick's bitch.
>>155695092In a twist of cruel irony, Cartoon Network got exactly what they asked for. They got Nick’s audience, but at the expense of their own autonomy.
>>155685445>spoiler Anon, you're gonna make me cry... :(
>>155695092in my case, that was bc CN was locked behind higher level cable packages, and wasnt open to more people until analogue was shut down. but by then CN was deep in its dark age and only just coming back with adventure time.I literally monkey pawed as a kid
>>155701378No
>>155695877WBB is also Calarts blob shit
>>155701399No, the characters aren’t blobs
>>155690475>no utrannies lost
>>155685445Its time for it to go.
>>155685445Oh, I'm late.Happy Birthday!https://youtu.be/pbbYs-Ki1x8
How do you niggas feel about this?https://x.com/ArtieReviews/status/2105804215146910037
>>155701474Still you
>>155695877Still far too soft for Cartoon Network
>>155701378Usually CN and Nick are just a few channels apart from what I’ve seen.
https://youtu.be/wIgkN7O_OMc
>>155694880If by programming you mean the full slate of shows, I would agree. But as for the actual shows coming out, I am going off vague memory, but Powerhouse is far and above city, right? That's like me lumping Dexter-Billy and Mandy
>>155685445can't wait to see the channel-tan threads after this
>>155696709Yes
>>155702664Nah
>>155701378Really? It was always basic for me
>>155691835ngl it would be rly funny if the MeTV guys bought the Cartoon Network name and logo for use to rename their MeTV toons channelat the time tho i feel like paramount coulda just bought CNN as a single asset, but i guess there are SOME “benefits” to stuffing a bra
>>155702667Yah
>>155702725No, nostalgiafag
>>155702744Fucking retard lmao
>He actually thinks CN is still goodHoly fuck
>>155702825>He actually thinks CN is still goodi see this parroted a lot too like fuck man have you seen the scheduling for the past fucking decade? it's fucking saddening
>>155689386>No preschool showsStill funny how CN tried this TWICE and failed. Like, as soon as Disney launched Playhouse Disney in 1997 (under a different name), WB should have been on that.
>>155701378What country? CN, Nick and Disney were all basic here in the states. You had to pay premium for Boomerang, Nicktoons (along with TeenNick), ToonDisney, and other channels like Qubo and Discovery Kids.
