First off, I'll admit that I like to watch entertaining cartoons at age 16, unfortunately there's not many left. Does anyone here remember when it was actually worth getting up in the morning to watch the ACME collection? And how could they get rid of great shows like Courage and Dexter's? Now that Edd Ed N' Eddy has been finished (the final cartoon that played on the network for awhile that was started in the 90s) the network has NO redeeming qualities at all. I know tons of kids who agree with me, they all watch Nick because while it has started falling into the same rut, it still has some worthwhile shows like Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob. I mean CN out of the like 10 new shows it pumps out a year gets maybe one worthwhile one. The last great one they had was Fosters which is over now. I know I'm ranting, but don't they realize what they're doing isn't working by now? They're pumping out pure crap, if they want to gain an audience back they should at least start re-airing more reruns of older shows. Who agrees with me?

Cartoon Network needs to start showing Freakazoid again.... I've never cared much for Dexter's, but Courage was a great show! Nickelodeon is one of my favorite cartoon channels, but sadly it ends at noon because my cable-company then airs another music-channel like MTV and.. DO NOT WANT!

They need to make more episodes of Foster's and stuff, too!

I enjoy Adult Swim as well, though it isn't the same without Futurama in my opinion.

They'll never go back, at least as far as cartoon cartoons are concerned. Just give Toonami its own channel, and I'd be satsified.

I loved Cartoon Network...till this crap.

When I saw my brother open up their Transformers Animated page...

The first thing running in my mind was "They ruined it."

I only liked to watch Dragonball Z and that one gundam show that was on a long time ago that I can't remember the name. Does anyone happen to know what it was called? I'll try to describe it the best that I can.

Basically everything was fine on a planet, earth I presume, then all of a sudden these giant human type aliens (They were huge, larger than most buildings) started showing up and destroying the planet in mechs, gundams maybe. After fighting these large humanoid type aliens for a while eventually I believe they allied with the normal humans found on earth for some reason. Then another humanoid type clone alien came from outerspace that was much more numerous and had better technology. Then in order to eliminate them, I think a group of humans from earth went into outspace to attack and destroy their mothership. But while attempting to destroy it, the main character encountered a cloned type human on their ship and they somehow fell in love. Sadly I can't remember much more about the plot.

Courage FTW.

Foster's, Chowder, and Flapjack are the good new shows. There are more than Nick which lost it after older spongebob or even Rocko's Modern Life.

Agreed. Samurai Jack was one of the greatest shows ever on that network, and they completely dropped the ball. I'm not really all that worried about the current lineup, because I have Boomerang and it's got Dexter and Johnny Bravo on there, but I'd love to see some more Ed, Edd, and Eddy. The current lineup does suck though. That Flapjack show has to be the worst one on there, followed by total drama island. I do like Chowder though.

Anyway, it seems like [adultswim] is stronger than ever. They need more Aqua Teen, but Venture Brothers, Tim and Eric, Superjail!, and now Young Person's Guide to History, are some of the greatest shows ever to grace the network!

BTW I feel like Flapjack tried to copy Spongebob's success by making the main character high pitched and annoying, but they made him too annoying and with zero likeability. Epic fail.

Best list ever! I do a pretty mean impression of Pinky, but then again that's like useless talent #43. Doesn't usually work in the bars to well, either. Oh well...

Meh, the only reason I go on CN now is for adult swim, and even that isn't quite as good as it used to be.

And I used to love Nickelodean, now it's just crap.

I still watch Spongebob from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to. I was always a bigger fan of Cartoon Network, and I used to eat up that anime after school stuff from Toonami.

Camp lazlo is great, I think it's one of the best newer ones. I think what makes a carton great is when a kid can relate with something in the cartoon like characters who act childish.

Agreed. His voice doesn't even sound the same anymore. It sounds much higher pitched than before. They've definitely embraced the whole sexually ambiguous thing, too. It seems like you can't watch a single episode without some sort of innuendo.

Yes, we all know that Cartoon Network now sucks. Who came up with Total Drama Island, Johnny Test, Flapjack, Secret Saturdays, or that Gym Partner's a Monkey thing? Has everybody there had their brain replaced with a ziplock bag full of 9 month old waffles?

Actually, yes. Though the waffles are really only 8 1/2 months old. :?
