While I feel sorry for the kids of today who have nothing to look forward to on TV during one of their last weeks of summer vacation, at least TTG is a children's cartoon that some children actually seem to like and actually buy toys and t-shirts for and not, you know, Steven Universe.

Still, looks there will be a resurgence of Spiderman and Elsa videos very soon.
oh boy. (:_(
 
I admit there are a lot of shows out now on CN (without saying examples) that I do watch, but yeah - if one cares that much, you're just better off watching all of their crap (regardless of where and when it came from) online. Hell, it's what works now for just about... well, everything else.

Plus, doing that is better than bitching about shitty scheduling, honestly.
 
I'm not sure that would work. At least not if you're trying to split the channels between child and more adult oriented stuff. Some stuff aired on Toonami is mostly benign such as Dragon Ball Super, but on the other side of things you get ultra violent and adult works like Deadman Wonderland. Unless you mean that both theoretical channels would aim their nights at adults...
Yes I should of clarified that. Toonami and Adult Swim in the early evening would have their lighter stuff (Futurama, Dragonball Super, whatever animated sitcoms or shonen series CN have ready to show really before having each channel later on moving on to their heavier content)

Cartoon Network is sitting on a big pile of TV shows and chooses to show only Teen Titans Go! Then again all Nicktoons shows is FOP and Spengbab so I dont know. I remember spending days as a kid watching Rugrats marathons on Nick....

Speaking of this, don't they still have the rights to the massive backlog of Hanna-Barbera cartoons? If they do I am assuming they show most of it on Boomerang, but it wouldn't hurt them to interject some of them like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo on the main channel once in a while. If those shows were good enough for kids in the 60s and then again in the 90s they should be good enough for today's kids.

they did. then they stopped
 
Sad part is that I love the fuck out of Amazing World of Gumball (I don't care for or about TTG!, but if kids love it, who fucking cares.). Just not all the time like these schedulers want. Then again, I like that show more than Steven Universe (I could say that about any show that ain't TTG!), so again - what-fucking-ever.

Regardless, @Elhaym has a point: one should never sit on any sort of pile of variety you've built up over the years when it can spice things up. Hell, maybe even encourage better new ideas, as well - only because @Replicant Sasquatch also has a point. That point being... We shouldn't be relying on SJWs to entertain kids with colorful moving pictures of things people otherwise can't really do IRL. Furthermore - why do we, or better yet, should we care so much about what kids are watching, other than the lack of variety?

CN these days really doesn't give a damn about their legacy, it seems.

Compared to Nick, who know what they have and exploit it, they're doing nothing with the library they have.
 
Autistic fans of the original show who think it ruined the TRUE and HONEST original show, which was probably about as autistic, really...

You know what, let's just say "Autism" and call it a day.

To be fair for its time the original Teen Titans was a pretty mature show that dealt with mature (and slightly edgy) subject matter and probably helped to advance the anime aesthetic for its time while Teen Titans Go is Spongebob/Uncle Grampa hyper-wacky silliness. At least Teen Titans Go keeps the characters in peoples minds I guess even if it doesnt take anything seriously

Young Justice was the real successor to Teen Titans anyway but you know how people like to sperg about bullshit

I hope we get a Super-Sons TV show one day with Damien and Jon in a new form of Teen Titans/Young Justice

Nick has an entire channel dedicated to airing their 90s era programming. They know people's nostalgia bones are so raging they even play their ancient bumpers in between commercials.

That makes sense, thank you. I never watched the original show and didn't even know there was one until someone told me about it. I've seen enough TTG through babysitting nieces and nephews though and it's actually not that bad (to me personally) especially compared to most of that stuff they play. It's silly but its not too gross like some of these cartoons plus they have references that the writers must just add in for each other, because the anecdotes they make are way too old for the 8-12 audience.

You know, call me autistic, but I would love it if Cartoon Network did the same thing. Bring back the old bumpers and hilarious promos, and you'd sell me.

The writers put those in so they don't go nuts and because they know you're watching with the kids and they don't want you to go nuts either.
 
I like Cartoon Network. From Sym-Bionic Titan to The Amazing World of Gumball, I think they sometimes put out some really great animated series. But I come to you all today to discuss a strange new future for CN. Something dark. Something horrifying.

This is Cartoon Network's schedule for the coming week. Notice anything strange? What's going on with Cartoon Network? Why would they do this? This isn't some special marathon they advertised or anything. Its just the upcoming schedule.

In the middle of all of it they're premiering a new show called "OK KO: Lets be Heroes". One could perhaps surmise that this is in celebration of this, but I don't honestly see what they have to do with each other. Surely kids don't enjoy watching the exact same thing 24/7. Has CN gone mad?

Is anyone else as disappointed with CN as I am? Is there any hope for this company?
I take it you haven't heard of these wonderful ideas like "Streaming" and "Piracy" that are killing traditional TV, and allow consumers to not be beholden to the whims of scheduling?

Of course I have. There's also always buying BDs and DVDs for programming one wants to watch. I moreso wanted to discuss CN on the whole, and it's just the current schedule that is most notably newsworthy coming from them beyond their upcoming premiere.

In addition, the distaste for the schedule is not so much about not wanting to watch said content, but a lack of understanding as to why such a schedule would be chosen. Perhaps in addition a bit of a concern for the future of the channel, because if the channel dies, a good amount of talent and animated content goes with it. There aren't many companies in the West producing animated television series, much less 2D animation ever since CGI took over theaters and Disney fired their traditional animators a few years back. Seeing one more company make such questionable choices puts into question their current financial state, as Teen Titans Go seems to be currently CN's most popular show, particularly with children. If CN dies, that leaves only Disney and Nick left , at least as far as US stationed channels are concerned. And historically, CN puts out the most new animated television shows.
Compared to Nick, who know what they have and exploit it, they're doing nothing with the library they have.
Can you really say that if they aren't airing much Korra and ATLA anymore?
