Taking a nod from my native TELETOON, I think CN should develop a new way of programming their shows. Maybe something like this:

6am - 3pm: Young Children
3pm - 6pm: Older Children
6pm - 9pm: Teen & Family Audiences
9pm - 6am: Adult audiences

Above is how Teletoon arranges their shows, and they do a great job. From 9pm on, we're able to see all the shows unedited. Plus, we get the FULL Simpsons episode, not the edited syndicated version. Plus we get stuff like SPAWN, ROUGHNECKS, X-MEN, TICK, REN & STIMPY, and DUCKMAN to name a few. I'd love to see CN take this approach.

I think you just like to remind us what lousy animation networks we have in America!

If Cartoon Network would just spin Toonami off into it's own network, this could help things tremendously.

Who runs your network there in Canada? Is it independently owned? I tell ya, if I knew for a fact I could get it on satellite, I'd be getting it in a minute! And that animation channel out of Miami I posted about on the old boards. There are good channels out there, it's just a matter of exposure and getting access to them.

If you had a dish, it should be easy to get. And yeah...I d like rubbing it in. I hear rumors that GODZILLA is on the way to Teletoon. Plus, Fox Kids got KONG (A Canadian produced show) from TELETON. So trust me when I say KONG ain't that great. As for Teletoon, it's self owned, but there's minority stock by a few animation companies and Canadian cable businesses.
