We feel it’s only a matter of time before it’s strictly for little children, they’ve lost quite a few of there older viewers, most of them transferring over to late night [Adult Swim], or just plain not watching their channel.
Looking back, it’s apparent this was bound to happen, when Toonami was taken off the set list. The loss, took quite a chunk out of their viewer ratings. Another hit was when most of the old cartoons normally shown were replaced with childish cartoons the resembled SpongeBob Squarepants in different arts and plot lines. Take for example The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, it was an on land version of the Nickelodeon show. Or the overly food related Chowder, is another show that fails to gain our interest. Even the continuation of those childhood shows, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh, should’ve ended a long time ago.
What was going through the CN network execs mind. Eh?
An even sadder attempt to improve themselves was the moment they decide to include CN Real, reality tv, on Cartoon Network. Straying from the ’toon’ theme didn’t do anything but create more chaos for them as well as the fans.
We have no idea what there planning next, though they do have a new show coming up very soon, we hope they’ll stop and back track a bit—it just ain’t the same anymore, and we’re not liking it. They’ve already let Naruto Shippudden go to Disney XD [though not many people will be watching that either].
Give us back out Toonami, that’s all SLC wants.

Maybe the problem is not with cartoon network. The problem is in us. We are growing up. We don't like all the new cartoons as much as we like the old ones we grew up watching.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all the "new" kids still enjoy watching cartoon network...just like we did.
