yeah..coz if it is....nah, thats not worth a comment
Seeing as how Cow and Chicken interrupts the morning movie, I'm guessing Cow and Chicken will "take over the network" at various points throughout the day, a la Screwy Squirrel.
Also, check this out:
6am: Cow and Chicken
8am: Pokemon DPBD (intercut with an episode of CAC)
8:30am: Cow and Chicken
10:30am: Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf (30 minutes shorter, intercut with 3 CAC episodes)
12pm: Tom and Jerry
1pm: CAC
2:30pm: Batman (intercut with an episode of CAC)
3:00pm: CAC
4:00pm: Johnny Test (intercut with an episode of CAC)
4:30pm: CAC
5pm: Back to normal, with two hours of JT
Somebody record AFD for posterity. We could have another Screwy Squirrel on our hands :)
I bet that the fact that this marathon is airing IS the joke.
Enjoy it while it lasts, children.

But part of me feels this could just be a cruel joke and we'll get something worse instead.

Why is CN (assuming it's not a joke) using Cow and Chicken as intermissions? Didn't they treat the last few marathons with a bit more respect?

Hmm. Maybe they're trying to make C&C a success again. Or maybe it's an April Fools joke. It's odd that it's on April 1st.

lol and airing while the audience who watches it is probably at school. How terrible.
On that note, a shame the Cow and Chicken marathon is gonna be on while I'm at school. Dx My TiVo isn't currently working ugh. And why does this give me a feeling that this prank may cause a meme?

So it's a joint venture between Cow & Chicken and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf all day?
There could be worse April Fool's Day pranks CN could play on us.

I'm a bit confused, but we'll see what happens.
Maybe we'll see CN showing some Adult Swim signs here, and if they screw with us, well-played CN, but you might lose some respect, but, then again, it would be a great prank.
And if it's not, party!

They're airing C&C for April Fools?
If this is real, neato!

This is awesome. Cow and Chicken is hilarious and is my favorite cartoon network show. It hasn't been shown on cartoon network for a very long time

When I first noticed the date, I was thinking that it was either an April Fool's joke or that it was airing in some other country's CN. It sounds really weird to play Cow and Chicken. I liked the show and all and playing it throughout the day sounds kind of neat, but I'm still thinking it's just a prank.

I think it may just be a scheduling error, since the same episodes/movies for the regular programming are also listed to air the day before (3/31). A full Cow & Chicken marathon from 6am-5pm is probably what will happen.

I'm not sad. "Go hard or don't go at all." Either show nothing but Cow and Chicken as an actual marathon, or don't. But don't put Cow and Chicken between Pokemon and call it a marathon.

What a bummer.:(It could still happen. If this was meant to be an April Fools prank, it wouldn’t make much sense for them to advertise it in advance. It would sort of defeat the purpose. What would be a prank is for them to announce their regular schedule and then air a Cow & Chicken marathon. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.

210-220 (11) are left.
No, 210 was the final episode that aired. I saw it, I taped it, I could probably find the dub online if I searched.
211-220 is what hasn't aired.

No, he's correct. 209, "The Enemy: Ninja Dropouts," was the last episode to air. 210, "The Bewildering Forest," was originally scheduled to air in February, but it never did. 210-220 remain unaired.

C and C is in my opinion highly underrated. One of the best late 90s original Cartoon Cartoons.
RSNaco
03-29-2009, 05:19 AM
Maybe they'll do it by starting to show the given show but having C&C interrupt it or hijack it a minute or two in... I think that'd work for an April Fool's marathon.

Wow, you seem to hate a lot of the show's that a lot of people like. You don't like Samurai Jack, you don't like CatDog, you don't like Cow and Chicken. That's your personal taste and it doesn't bother me though. Cow and Chicken may have not been the best Cartoon Cartoon, but it's still decent.

You wanna know another April Fool's Prank? In the 1 P.M. slot that says "Courage" on Wed, Apr. 1, under episode description it lists "The Art of Lightning/The Art of the Double Cross". Could that mean Skunk Fu was put back in the schedule for Wednesday at the last minute? I don't know what to believe!:confused:
I guess we'll have to wait and see WHAT happens!;) Could be some serious scheduling errors, as it lists Johnny Test episode listings from 5-7 PM, which read Batman: The Brave and the Bold from 5-6 and Flapjack at 6-7 in those slots. Then again, the episodes listed for the shows are the EXACT same ones as the day before, so maybe Cow and Chicken being in the schedule was the intended prank, Skunk Fu slot was a scheduling error, and all the other shows are airing different episodes.
Or it could be the other shows being a prank to show a whole Cow and Chicken marathon, with Johnny Test following it, as well as Skunk Fu actually airing only on Wednesdays. Could be anything at this point.:sweat:

Sorry, I was confused. It's just that these posts made it sound like you didn't like it.
As long as Sym-Bionic Titan is not boring as hell like Samurai Jack is it sounds good.
Well it was, the pointless build up of tension that long pointless scenes where nothing happens. Boring. Samurai Jack was a piece of art and little more. All fluff and no substance.
But that's your personal taste. It's cool.

No offense, but that's not a fact. That is your personal opinion of CatDog, which is fine. However, I do suggest that it would be better to respect other people's taste in shows. Every show has some fans and while it's okay to dislike a show, it's best to do so in a respectful manner so as to not hurt anyone's feelings. As others have already pointed out, people do like CatDog.
It does seem possible that CN wanted to keep the marathon as a surprise. We won't know for sure until this Wednesday though.
