I remember there was a period where they like... put the characters from all their shows in a real life environment and stuff. That was real cool.
And this is kinda random, but does anyone here remember like... way back then when like... the "coming up next" stuff was like... a boat and some water? i dunno, that's something i distinctly remember as a kid for some reason.
I liked it the most when cartoon networks did bumpers of like a city with characters walking around and stuff.
A cartoon network? Why, in my day we had Saturday morning cartoons. And sometimes some lame after-school specials. And we had to get up and turn the knob on the tv to change channels. In the snow. Uphill both to and from the couch!
And you forgot that "Be Cool Scooby Doo." ;) You call yourself a ratings pro? I think not! There is also Wabbit. Pretty much, most WB cartoons don't do too well anymore....
Be Cool, Scooby Doo is doing poorly, with not even a quarter of a million watching it upon release now for the past several weeks.
Oh hey, I liked that show as a kid.

So smol. ^^Back when Death Blossom was still just a Death seedling....
I'm still smol now.Yeah, but you could still kick my ass, I bet. Little people have a low center of gravity; they are impossible to hit when they really get going.
Toonheads....
Ah, I forgot to mention Captain Planet, I do know that show. And Gundum I know, my friends obsessed with them. I'm sure other members know these shows. But then again, from what I've observed, the majority of older memebers here are mid to late 20's.
I remember everyone of those shows except for Wildfire. Never heard of that one.
Captain Planet! He's our hero! He's gonna take pollution down to zero!
All those shows, man! Memory lane.
There was al to of artistry in so many of those shows and how they were aninmated. So much more time was put into some of them. Today shows seem very simplistic in their designs so it is easier to animate, even with the help from a computer.
I agree old cartoons are nice, but I'm not a fan of nostalgia freaks who only want to live in the past and go "cgi will never be good REEEEE!" And "old shows were perfect and superior and never flawed!" Like bruh. Chill out.
Cartoons go through phases. There is good and bad. There were bad cartoons in the past. Like, idk, Care Bears and MLP. Pretty trash.
First gen was interesting. The animation was alright. The designs, I'm mixed on. The voice acting, eh. Everything else besides that, GUH! MLP was pretty trash besides 1 and 4, and 4 now is getting shaky, starting to lose its touch. Care Bears I just thought was stupid lol. Always saving dem blonde chicks with blue eyes in their movies XP
That seems fair. Nostalgia blurs the lines. People who loved Captain Planet for example, then go back, and realize how atrocious it really is in terms of writing... Take off the nostalgia glasses.
My last note on Flapjack and tying it in with this show spawning success of others, it has Pendleton Ward, storyboard artist (created Adventure Time), J.G. Quintel, storboard artist and writer (created regular show), and Alex Hirsch - storybaord artist and writer (created Gravity Falls). It started all their careers.
I used to not like how pattens moved on characters and backgrounds in Chowder, but it really did just fit the atmosphere and weirdness of the show.Believe that was a stylistic choice. I actually never noticed as a kid XD
They renewed WBB for a third season so it's doing well enough.
I never understood that. Why people have the tv on for noise. Like, isn't that distracting?
As much as I would like more Over the Garden Wall episodes, I fear it wouldn't have the same magic it did as a short series. But I do hope that creator gets a good show on CARTOON Network.
Daw an ad for Cartoon Network's newly acquired show, "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs." Not CGI like the movies.
You want to know one of the most worthlessly pointless shows on television right now? Total Dramarama... [It] follows the same characters... but as babies. It's horrible, stupid, and the perfect example of a show that never needed to be made.
I'm actually just about to rewatch Chowder and Flapjack. Chowder's first. This s going to be fun. It was a weird period for CN because I lost interest in their channel when they started doing CN Live.
Flapjack and Chowder as a result didn't get the attention they probably deserved and were cancelled early because of that.
Couldn't care less about Arnold (...The Terminator isn't current anymore)I was thinking more about the (rather undeserved) reputation of pit bulls, as I noted here (https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=2727.msg418874#msg418874). The breed was just coming into its own, and Tom Ruegger has stated that the character was created to capitalize on this. These days, though, if you see a pit bull in the media chances are it will be given an African-American voice and mannerisms, which, considering restrictive laws and bans on ownership in many areas, carries a very unfortunate implication (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UnfortunateImplications/WesternAnimation). Not very "woke" of Hollywood, is it?...
...Concord Condor was pointless.Meh, on the whole, no more than Beaky Buzzard (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/looneytunes/images/3/32/Proto_beaky.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/220?cb=20200126104757)-- and someone remembered the guy fondly enough to use him in one of the new LTC shorts (https://looneytunes.fandom.com/wiki/Buzzard_School).
I'd be glad if Elmyra was gone. She was truly among my least favorite characters of all time. I found her voice annoying and grating and I really didn't like her.
Tiny Toons reboot coming to Cartoon Network and HBO Max
It would be nice if Animaniacs was also on Cartoon Network so the majority of people could ACTUALLY WATCH IT.
Tiny Toons reboot coming to Cartoon Network and HBO Max
Thinking about it, I’d be a lot more interested if this was a ‘3rd Generation’ series. As in: Buster and the gang have grown up to become the new Looney Tunes and the show focuses on yet another new set of toons who were spun off from them.
That way you could formulate an original, modern, cast of characters – instead of completely updating and repurposing all the old ones.
Buuut, they could still draw me in if the sneeze mouse is a main character. Maybe introduce his hot foreign mom, whom he takes after...

So are they going to address that that bizarre cliffhanger from the final episode (https://theamazingworldofgumball.fandom.com/wiki/The_Inquisition)? I mean, you can't have reality overwrite itself and then collapse into a screaming void and not address it. :nervoussmile:
Has anyone seen the new show Unikitty?Just discovered it--better late than never, I suppose. Is Grey DeLisle-Griffin deliberately trying to evoke a Tara Strong feel with U.K.'s voice? Was Strong offered the part first but turned it down, ya think? So the core concept is... they're living Legos? Weird. Well, no stranger than a show geared to market Technicolor plastic ponies with real (nylon) hair, I suppose....

Gawd-dangit, it's Jim Cummings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jim_Cummings) all over again.
Should we all live in fear of losing our career because of one dumb mistake?
Technically a Cartoon Network property, but going to HBO Max. :-\
I think I maybe getting into this one ^-^
^ I have no idea what is going to happen with that Fiona and Cake show.
Reportedly Cartoon Network is going to rely heavily on their old shows with new blocks playing shows from the 90s and 2000s since they have not many new shows in the works. One or two is it.
New Scooby show too.
New Scooby show too.
That really doesn't sound interesting to me. Why not just start a new IP? I know it's easier to an established brand, but it's just trudging this old IP through the mud.
New Adult Swim show coming in 2025 called, "Common Side Effects."
