[Silverstar]

Cartoons? Bah! CN hates cartoons.


Here's the real scoop: Starting in May, CN will be dropping all animated shows from its' lineup and will become

The Obscure 60's Sitcom Network.

First up: don't miss Dick Sargent and Ubanga in Voodooed.


Enjoy! :D

I am a time traveler from 2009! There will be horrible developments at Cartoon Network in 2009. Such as six reality TV shows, two scripted live-action shows, no Toonami, and Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy will no longer be airing.

It is a house of horrors!

Don't let Betty Cohen be tossed out of Cartoon Network! If that happens all will be lost . . .

Hello, I'm from 2004, and having just watched 'The Goonies', I can say that you're five years too slow.

[macattack]

Hello, I'm from 2004, and having just watched 'The Goonies', I can say that you're five years too slow.

No, The Goonies aired in 2005. You are evidently from an alternate reality.

. . .

You fool! You're going to merge our realities together so there'll be TWICE as much live-action on Cartoon Network in 2009! You're creating a reality paradox!

. . .

Oh, and Sci-fi Channel is going to change its name to Syfy. But not like we care, right?

And my avatar is proof I come from a different time! This is from a show that will be airing on a newfangled block called

OH NO ITS THE TIME POLICE! Heed my warnings, foolish 1999ers, or we'll all . . . . aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh.

[Ishtar]

I think this show would be perfect re-running on G4! I mean it's intelligently written. Plus, EVERYTHING should air on G4!

You won't get your clock cleaned for asking such a ridiculous question.

Thread closed for seriousness.

[Silverstar]

EVERYTHING should air on G4!

Just as long as it's not about video games. Why would a channel called G4 (Games, Gear, Gadgets and Gigabytes) air shows that have anything to do with tech or video games? That would be stupid. G4 should only air shows that you can see on any basic cable channel or on public access or in syndication at 5 AM.

[Racattack!Force]

Agreed. I mean, shows about games on a channel for games? What a stupid concept. :p

[Mr. Ralph]

I was searching about the new live-action shows on CN and i found out this video.

The Othersiders new trailer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

[macattack]

I found out who is in charge of the time police! It is none other than a triumvirate of Bonnie Hammer, Dawn Ostroff, and Stuart Sny-

OH GAWD THEY'RE BACK! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES, FOOLS!

I also wrote a joke about Jennifer Davidson becoming a victim of the time police but I decided that was inappropriate and insensitive. [/fourthwallbreaking]

[Deadman]

this is ridiculous. live action on CARTOON network? yea right.

[Vyse]

It's true, 1999ers. I come from the future, too. The network will not be called Cartoon Network. It will be known as CN in about a few years. Also, Seth MacFarlane will return to the network. But it won't be for Johnny Bravo. And, he's also an alien.

[moonmaster]

Yep, that's right! Billy Mays is getting his own show on Cartoon Network!

Taking a break from all this April Fool's nonsense, here's some big news from the Turner Newsroom website...
Cartoon Network Unveils New Logo, New Direction This Summer

Cartoon Network has announced today that the network will be unveiling a new logo and rebranding in the summer to accompany "CN AMPT" and "CN Real", two new programming initiatives set to be introduced over the next year. The rebranding will take place during the premiere of Cartoon Network's much-hyped supernatural reality show "The Othersiders" on Friday, July 17.

http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp293/chdr/afd.jpg

The new Cartoon Network logomark, designed by London-based Interbrand displays the two sides of Cartoon Network. "The white side represents our cartoons, and the lighter side of the market we want to conquer," said Stuart Snyder, president and COO of Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media. "The black side is the heart of our new direction: reality shows and scripted live-action. Something with a darker edge for teens."

"We’re thrilled to be teaming up with one of the world’s most preeminent design firms," says Snyder. "Interbrand has designed some of the most iconic marks in the public eye, such as the Nintendo wordmark and the infamous AT&T globe. We hope that the "Dualmark" will make a lasting impression on the public's eye and brings Cartoon Network to the top." Cartoon Network is the only basic cable channel for children to make double-digit gains in the last year.

Cartoon Network's refresh will take place throughout the next year. The Dualmark and its corresponding rebrand (done by Animal Logic, a previous Cartoon Network alum) will launch in July, along with "The Othersiders". In the fall, "Head Rush", "Destroy/Build/Destroy", and "Survive This" will premiere, along with the "CN AMPT" programming initiative. Cartoon Network and the NBA will team up to provide a Saturday afternoon block focused on sports and game shows. The block will also include the short-form series "My Dad's A Pro", the first of several programming initiatives to come out of the Cartoon Network/NBA partnership. The short-form series follows the children of NBA players, and explores the day to day thrills and challenges that go along with such an exciting lifestyle. The first of these episodes will premiere this fall. Also this fall, a sustained and robust basketball section will launch on CartoonNetwork.com. The customized branded environment will allow sports fans to share their passion for the game throughout the year with a mix of basketball-themed multimedia content.

"CN Real", a programming block of scripted live-action and reality shows is slated to air sometime in 2010. Programming includes "Bobb'e Says", "Dude, What Would Happen", "Unnatural History", and "Prepped" (working title).

Cartoon Network (CartoonNetwork.com), currently seen in more than 97 million U.S. homes and 166 countries around the world, is Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.’s ad-supported cable service now available in HD offering the best in original, acquired and classic animated entertainment for kids and families. Nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. (ET, PT), Cartoon Network shares its channel space with Adult Swim, a late-night destination showcasing original and acquired animation for young adults 18-34.

Yes! This show is one of my favorites and it deserves 17 more seasons

[Dr.Pepper]

I love it!

I'M TUX AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

I also approve this logo. It lends itself well to cross-platform synergy in promoting advertisements to our key demographics.

I also approved these new seasons. I wanted 10 bu the board wanted 17. They overpowered me.

[Silverstar]

ABOUT FREAKIN' TIME!!!

Out of Jimmy's Head is the only decent show that crappy CN's got. It's the only show that got it right--they know that in order for a show to succeed, it's got to have a MILF who works as an astronaut and an annoying weird sister who's a green space alien.

Now all they need to do is make Jimmy into a superhero....

SHOW THY LINK!It's a joke. Checked Newsroom, and there is nothing there about this. Also checked the Interbrand site.

[J!!!]

That's the most well made prank I've ever soon congrats CHDR

[Toon Master]

Thats right Cartoon Network announced yesturday that Ozzy Osbourne would be teaming up with them for a new reality show that will be broadcasted on TNN, TNT, Boomerang, and the Cartoon Network on July 17, 2009 called the Osbornes Reality TV Show Program Premiere on TNN, TNT, Boomerang, and the Cartoon Network and it will be replaying on Adult Swim the following night. This is by far shocking news to the public but many people have high expectations on what the Osbournes will bring to the network.

[chdr]

The fact that you guys actually went to check Turner Pressroom and Interbrand kinda makes me happy about how believable that bogus press release I wrote is. :)

That sad truth is though, I could realistically see CN sending out this press release.

[Deadman]

great news. this network needs more quality shows like out of jimmys head.

[EscaflownePilot]

I honestly believed it at first read because, frankly, you did all the things that should be done in a successful prank. You mixed enough real things in with pranks, and the prank stuff was fake, yet to a (disturbingly) believable degree.

You even had my heart sinking in my chest toward the end. With illustrates two things: you're prank was good, and I am WAY too emotionally attatched to a television network. I don't think a negative press release about a television network is really supposed to invoke the fight-or-flight response symptoms in a normal human being.

Almost half of that press release was taken from various real press releases from Cartoon Network, mixed in with executive jargon that is commonly used in press releases.

The sad part is that aside from the logo and a few dates, this is actually happening.

[Toon Master]

This will be apart of a large chain of renewals from July 2009-September 2009. No cartoon cartoons will be renewed because Cartoon Network sold the tapes and rights to an island in the Pacific Ocean several years ago besides the ones Boomerang still airs.

Begone, foul time deviants! It's obvious if the Time Police are after you its because of your no good filthy LIES! That's like saying that Disney is going to stop airing Micky Mouse or those weird looking computer generated cartoon movies will take over hand drawn ones.

The things people say to get a bit of attention around here. As if live action on CARTOON Network would ever happen. Hah!

[Lychii]

If it means that those godawful shows like Chowder and Flapjack are taken off the air then FINALLY, YEEEEES! Now all we need is an action live-action show to get rid of those dreaded Transformers and BtBatB and we're set! I love the new direction CN is going in! Quality live action shows 24/7! :anime:

[Lychii]

I'll say! Live action is just what Cartoon Network needs in this day in age! How else will they be able to compeate with Nick and Disney? If CN really wants to get in on the goods they need their own cookie-cutter preteen show. Like, a girl who's trying to make her own cartoon and the hijinks of life she experences along the way! See, cartoons related it back to the "cartoon" part of Cartoon Network.

That combined with the new Osbournes show would make for some GREAT tv viewing!:anime:
