Cartoon Network Fall 2009 Hopes + Predictions

[Rho]

Back in spring, we had one of these for Summer. Now, why not one for the fall?

Hopes:

-Older series get at least early morning slots
-Noods stay
-CN Real is gone
-A YAH-style block, ideally Toonami, but that won't happen.
-10:00PM- 11:00PM slot is retrieved
-Some new acquistions
-The Flicks on Saturdays

Here's a likely far-fetched hope schedule:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rgqbdQsSpqyp0nx70Ot7OWQ

Green: HHT
Blue: Unnamed Fridays Action Block
Orange: TWF Crushzone
Purple: The Flicks

[Dr.Pepper]

I hope:

CN Real leaves (or at least only plays once a week)
Ed Edd n Eddy Big Picture Show comes out (if it doesn't come out later this summer)
Noods stay.

[soundmonkey44]

Hopes
CN REAL TANKS HARD!
CN Ampd is moved to Sunday Afternoons & later removed for low ratings
Older Cartoon Cartoons air more often
PPGZ Airs in the US
Cartoon Institute Airs & Is a success Gets Funded for more eps/seasons
New Shows like Sym Bionic Titan & generator Rex are successful
Naruto Shippuden comes to CN (Or at least AS)
Less Ytv acqusitions


Predictions
CN Real/Ampd Doesn't completly tank so is left on network but aired at Graveyard shif hours & after movies.
CN Aires CartoonInstitute, the show has moderate succes
Chowder Gets Cancled
Adventure time Replaces Chowder
CN makes one Suprise Acquisition (Preferebly an old US show or anime)
Secret Saturday's gets renewed
Flapjack gets renewed
Batman B&TB is in pending on renewal
SWCW dominates Ratings once again in season 2

Thats all i got for now.

[mkalv]

I hope:


That CN Real dies a horrible death!:evil:
That CN finishes airing Naruto.
That CN airs Mega Man Star Force (I know, I know)
That Toonami or the Action Flicks return.
That CN stops airing live-action flicks.
That CN airs Coraline.


Thats all I got for now.

[Mugen]

I predict Cartoon Network will change its name to Pogo, The Children Network(TCN), Turner Kids Network(TKN) or some other name that when abbreviated, is three initials long. This is keeping in line with other Turner networks(TNT, TBS, TCM, HLN, CNN).

As for shows, the ones that are suppose to premiere this year will premiere. Prepped and that other live-action scripted show will debut next year.

[Rho]

It might be a couple years before they would air Coraline, if they even did.

[The Wolverine]

It might be a couple years before they would air Coraline, if they even did.
Uh, yeah. Not gonna happen.

[Tora Yakari]

Since Chowder and Flapjack are unfortunately meeting an early end, my hope is for some new shows from the same people. I'm really hoping Thurop, C.H. and Maxwell get working on some new projects. If CN is going to stop these, they better get something to replace them!

[Lizor]

My hopes are for CN Real to be gone, never to return, and maybe for something like Toonami to return. I also think the flicks on Saturday were a good idea.

[AJ1]

The only prediction I have is that cnReal does good enough to stick around and they will eventually add to the live stuff with a teen comedy series or two, and we will get a new action block that will air on either Friday or Saturday night, it may be the one that just ended or it may be something different but with a similar schedule.

[PalmelaFC]

Hopes:

CNReal shows are exclusive to that block and to one day only (Wednesdays).
Noods stay on TV.
An anime exclusive block on Saturdays.
You Are Here continues to be shown.
New and better acquisitions.

[mkalv]

More hopes:

Marvel Superhero Squad airs on Disney XD instead.
Batman airs this August instead of Fall.
Peter Cullen does more promos for You Are Here, and other action blocks that could pop up.
CN gains the 10:00 hour back, and maybe even the 11:00 hour.
AS airs Shippuden.

[xmendude]

That CNReal is gone forever and never returns! (It will possibly stick around a while)
More Cartoons and less live-action (Live-Action is OK but it's called Cartoon Network)
Most of the shows now stay.

When will Cartoon Network announce their Fall2009 Schedule?

[AJ1]

More hopes:

Marvel Superhero Squad airs on Disney XD instead.
Batman airs this August instead of Fall.
Peter Cullen does more promos for You Are Here, and other action blocks that could pop up.
CN gains the 10:00 hour back, and maybe even the 11:00 hour.
AS airs Shippuden.

I hope Shuppuden airs on CN at a respectable time if it airs anywhere on CN at all, it won't get good ratings if it's buried on AS in the middle of the night. My prediction is it probably wont come to CN at all and Sci-Fi may get it for their anime block on Monday nights.

[HEATXZ]

Getting rid of CNREAL
Bring back YAH or make another action block
Bring back Action Flicks
Air the last episodes of Naruto and air Shippuden
More animes
Have a block with old CN shows like PowerPuffGirls

[Rho]

The older show that would make the most sense for them to air would be Dexter's Laboratory, seeing as how he seems to have a major role in FusionFall. Many younger players won't have been around when Dexter was still aired regularly, and not everyone has Boomerang.

[macattack]

I want CN Real gone and Snyder fired and Snyder's boss fired. I don't care about anything else at this point.

[soundmonkey44]

Well said Mac...well said.

anywho.... I was thinking since CN has been Airing some 4kids shows lately, It would'nt be that far fetched to show Reruns of TMNT: Fast Foward & Back to the Sewer. As well as the 1st Season of Huntik. I could also see Viva Pinata & Winx as Vauge Possibility's if CN decides it want's to be a network Dependent of Ytv & 4kids acquisitons for awhile.:radda:

Now for CN's sisters. I could see the last superman cartoon airing on Boom since JLU,Titans & the batman are.:bugs1:

As for Adult swim besides whats already been confirmed I could see AS Possibly making more acquasitions in the future, & hopfully Picking up the Airing rights of FMA: Brotherhood & Soul Eater from Funi so they could air those sometime next year.:moon:

[The Wolverine]

I want CN Real gone and Snyder fired and Snyder's boss fired. I don't care about anything else at this point.
Then you want Cartoon Network to fail.

[macattack]

Then you want Cartoon Network to fail.

Cartoon Network already HAS failed.

[DeanBurrito25]

My hopes:

* CN Real bombs, that idiot Snyder (and anyone else involved with the idea of live-action soiling Cartoon Network) fired, and anything live-action is taken off the network as a whole.
* Noods stay for a little longer.
* Chowder is renewed for a third season.
* Flapjack and Batman: TBATB continue to air.
* Johnny Test, LOSE, 6Teen, and George of the Jungle are taken off the schedule permanently
* A block dedicated to airing Cartoon Cartoons is created
* Less Canadian acquisitions and more American acquisitions
* Looney Tunes gets a timeslot (yes, I'm still waiting...)

Uh, that's it for now.

[RonDrakenfan17]

The only thing I hope for is CN to air Narutos second series, maybe in Adult swim so it will be uncut. That's the only thing I hope for, every thing else I wanted is happing. New Scooby-Doo series, new Ben 10 series yah :D

[Rho]

Thankfully, George of the Jungle is rarely aired anymore. So there's one of your hopes fulfilled.

[850 Gyt]

Agreed. Cartoon Network was always good (up until now) because it stuck to its name: it aired cartoons 24/7. GOOD cartoons I'll add as well. Back in the days (lol I sound like a grandaddy) just about every cartoon was good on CN. I think they had only about 1 or 2 bad cartoons. Now they just feel like Nick and I don't need another Nick (a viewing nightmare where the network only has 2 good shows: and one of those shows gets shoved down your throat. To make it worse, the rest of the programming is taken up by those terrible *cringe* teen shows)

[Silverstar]

Hopes:


Chowder and Flapjack will get to live on.
If the above happens, then Chowder will improve over its' recent lackluster episodes.
Adventure Time succeeds, or more importantly, is given the chance to succeed.
We get another prime-time action cartoon block that's just as good, if not better, than You Are Here.
Cartoon Network gets a renewed interest in animated comedies.
Cartoon Network gives up on this mad quest to out-Nick Nick.
Superman gets a cool cartoon show akin to Brave & the Bold that puts him back in the public eye.
Looney Tunes returns with regular airings, if not on Cartoon Network, then on Boomerang.
We get a girl-centric animation block on Cartoon Network, or at least 1 or 2 decent girl-centric shows. (I know it'll never happen, but a man can dream.)

Predictions:

Just one--if Cartoon Network keeps progressing in the direction it's going in now, the channel will change its' name so they'll no longer be obligated to showcase animation first and foremost.

[Master Toon]

Hopes:
- CN decides to change it's name to suit live action programming.

Predictions:
- CN decides to change it's name to suit live action programming.

[DarthGonzo]

Hopes:
- CN decides to change it's name to suit live action programming.

Predictions:
- CN decides to change it's name to suit live action programming.

As much as I really wish they wouldn't do this I think by this point it's an inevitability.

[Jtaylor1]

Hopes:



A CN4Kids Block since they got Marillian Invasion and the 5Ds.
CN to acquire Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and Power Rangers (since Disney is done with PR)
CN acquiring Pretty Cure and PPGZ.
FusionFall as a block with Dexter as the host.

Predictions:

If CN Real becomes successful, then CN will dump animation in favor to make CN Real into a new network called The Real Network. AS will follow and dump anime and it's Williams street shows for more UK acquisitions (finished Fox animated shows will be untouched) and maybe picking up and continuing MADtv where Fox left off.

[ECDT1089]

"CN4Kids" doesn't sound all that bad. A Cartoon Network block for 4Kids shows on Saturday mornings. I like that, I like that a lot. If the 4Kids block would move from CW to Cartoon Network, I'm sure that would increase its ratings.

[The Huntsman]

If CN Real becomes successful, then CN will dump animation in favor to make CN Real into a new network called The Real Network.I have a hard time believing that you actually think that… Both Disney and Nick have schedules with both animation and live-action, so why does everybody seem to believe that Cartoon Network is suddenly going to drop animation and go all live-action? It’s not going to happen.

[chdr]

I have a hard time believing that you actually think that… Both Disney and Nickelodeon have schedules with both animation and live-action, so why does everybody seem to believe that Cartoon Network is suddenly going to drop animation and go all live-action? It’s not going to happen.Yeah. There is in fact room on the network for both animation and live-action. Cartoon Network will never stop airing or producing cartoons.

Never.

[DarthGonzo]

I have a hard time believing that you actually think that… Both Disney and Nickelodeon have schedules with both animation and live-action, so why does everybody seem to believe that Cartoon Network is suddenly going to drop animation and go all live-action? It’s not going to happen.

I dunno...it definitely seems like they're going in that direction since they do seem hell-bent on eliminating current cartoons that aren't even close to being past their prime. At the very least, a name change is probably on the horizon. And once that happens, they'll have no reason to keep any cartoons around if they don't want to.

[soundmonkey44]

At the very least, a name change is probably on the horizon. And once that happens, they'll have no reason to keep any cartoons around if they don't want to.

the thing is though every kids network has some cartoons. Nick has Spongebob, Penquins, Fairlyodd parents & Barnyard, Disney Has Phinias & Pherb & the new Stitch Anime is Airing sometime this fall, as well as a cartoon based on those cats & dogs with the really big eyes. (can't remember the name LULZ!)

So even if CN does have a name change it would still show some cartoons!:flapjack: & hopefully an anime or 2.:sweat:

[DarthGonzo]

& the new Stitch Anime is Airing sometime this fall

Is is??

[The Huntsman]

I dunno...it definitely seems like they're going in that direction since they do seem hell-bent on eliminating current cartoons that aren't even close to being past their prime.Are you saying that Disney and Nick never did that? Both networks have cancelled a lot of animated programs because they didn’t come close to their big shows. Cartoon Network wants another “Total Drama Island”, just like Nickelodeon wants another “SpongeBob SquarePants”. Cartoon Network cancelling “Chowder” is no different than Nickelodeon cancelling “El Tigre”. It’s how the business works.

[Blackstar]

the new Stitch Anime is Airing sometime this fall

Source? Link? If you can't prove it, you shouldn't declare it.

[Ian Hatfield]

Cartoon Network will never stop airing cartoons. It would be like if MTV stopped airing music videos.

Oh wait...

[warnerbroman]

Yeah. There is in fact room on the network for both animation and live-action. Cartoon Network will never stop airing or producing cartoons.

Never.but it won't be Cartoon network it would be.....

[macattack]

As much as I really wish they wouldn't do this I think by this point it's an inevitability.

I think the name change is inevitable as well. It's quite clear to me that whatever the execs' plans are, it isn't involving this channel being Cartoon Network.

[The Huntsman]

I think the name change is inevitable as well. It's quite clear to me that whatever the execs' plans are, it isn't involving this channel being Cartoon Network.I don’t believe they’re going to throw away their name recognition. “Cartoon Network” is internationally recognized, after all. The only name that I could see them changing to is “CN”, as that would allow them more leeway in what they do and it would still retain that name recognition. It’s sort of like how “Kentucky Fried Chicken” began calling itself “KFC”.

It’s sort of like how “Kentucky Fried Chicken” began calling itself “KFC”.

I believe they will, in order for the channel to become something the current executives want. They don't want a Cartoon Network. They want a kid's channel. Or, rather, a Viacom-style network styled on 50% Nickelodeon and 50% MTV.

[The Huntsman]

I believe they will, in order for the channel to become something the current executives want. They don't want a Cartoon Network. They want a kid's channel. Or, rather, a Viacom-style network styled on 50% Nickelodeon and 50% MTV.They can still do that with the network called “Cartoon Network”. I don’t think they care too much about the apparent contradiction, or otherwise, they never would have aired live-action in the first place. MTV still technically stands for Music Television. G4 still technically stands for Games, Gear, Gadgets and Gigabytes. It’s not that much of a stretch to see it stay “Cartoon Network” and just not worry about the perception of things, but if it does change, I believe “CN” is the most likely choice.

[xmendude]

I think a CN4Kids could be possible if the CW went off the air. but I hope it doesn't happen! A CN4Kids is a good idea to whoever said that!

[soundmonkey44]

Source? Link? If you can't prove it, you shouldn't declare it.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkEhDkhs0w8

It was Part of Disney's 2009 Preview, as you can see. Although theres no set relaese date, its deffinantly airing in 09, sadly im afraid it'll probably get prometed less then Phinias & Pherb & end up on saturday mornings instead of Primertime like stitch rightfully should be!:radda:

BOT: I really hope CN doesn't change its name & that the live action eventually tanks or is moved to the CW!:p

[The Huntsman]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkEhDkhs0w8Wait… “Twisted Whiskers” is going to be on Disney? I thought Cartoon Network had the rights to that. Well, I guess that’s one less animated program on the network.

[Ian Hatfield]

Did you notice how the announcer had an accent on that video? I'm 90% sure that video is for a Disney Channel in Southeast Asia. The presence of Aaron Stone on the promo should also be a tip-off.

[The Huntsman]

The presence of Aaron Stone on the promo should also be a tip-off.Ah. I wasn’t paying attention. I guess Cartoon Network still has “Twisted Whiskers” then. I wonder why Asia gets it in 2009 but we’re getting it in 2010, but that discussion doesn’t belong in this thread.

[soundmonkey44]

Did you notice how the announcer had an accent on that video? I'm 90% sure that video is for a Disney Channel in Southeast Asia. The presence of Aaron Stone on the promo should also be a tip-off.

No Om Pretty Sure Its Disney USA. Plus Isn't Aaron Stone Supposed to come on Regular Disney somethime this fall, at least thats what ive heard. & ive watched this promo multiple times, I don't hear an accent.

But yea. Im 90% this is our Disney. Where the heck did you get southeast asia. Stitch was in asia last year, it would have been under new seasons not NEW SHOWS if it was indeed not the US disney. Of course I guess it could be Disney UK LULZ! but I doubt it. Not to mention the Tuber that put it up lives in the USA!

BOT: Has CN premired Stoked yet, if so please tell me its the LAST canadian Flash toon there getting!:sweat:

[mkalv]

Even more hopes:

CN Video does a Naruto marathon, and streams the last ten episodes.
Gives DIC a Saturday morning block.
Cancels The Mr. Men show.
Airs Delgo and/or Battle for Terra on The Flicks or Action Flicks.

[The Wolverine]

Cancels The Mr. Men show.

Not happening, as the crew have already confirmed a second season will start airing this fall.

Also, why the heck would you want them to air Delgo?

[mkalv]

Also, why the heck would you want them to air Delgo?


I know that its probably a really bad movie, but I'm still curious to see it, and its not worth buying.

[KPTitan]

Since the Ben 10: Alien Force live-action movie is supposed to air sometime in November this year, I think the 3rd season of AF will air shortly before or after that movie. That's pratically the only thing I'm really looking forward to at the moment...

[AJ1]

Along with a new action cartoon block to air on either Friday or Saturday nights, and my prediction of some tween comedy series down the road, I am going to predict that sometime in fall we are going to get more live action movies airing on CN out of the Flicks spot. I can see live action movies airing in the mornings, and at night on days that no premiers are taking place. :sad: I hope i'm wrong, but I can see it coming.

[cookiedough]

Hopes
Cartoon Network doesn't change its name.
Live Action goes away.
Naruto Shippuden airs.
Chowder gets renewed.
A good action block is made for Friday or Saturday nights.

Predictions
CN Real doesn't live up the the self-promoted hype. But live action shows are still aired regularly (just not as often)
Noods will leave once 2009 is over

[Pogorikifan24]

This Fall,I hope:

They have 4Kids Rights to air Huntik, TMNT, or Dinosaur King.

They have Flicks on Saturday and Sunday Nights

They have Old Shows.

That they have Adventure Time, and Cartoonstitue this fall.

[Rho]

New list:

Hopes:
-They have a new Friday action block
-CN Real shows get cancelled
-Code Lyoko, Megas XLR, Grim Adventures, Dexter, Foster's, and other shows air again. Even at morning hours.
-They acquire "Tara Duncan", an animated series based off a series of French novels
-10:00PM to 11:00PM timeslot is back
-The Flicks airs more movie premieres, mostly, if not all, animated.
-They have a better Halloween marathon
-This is somewhat unrelated, but The Simpsons coming to Adult Swim

Predictions:
-CN Real shows get cancelled
-Scooby Doo returns to the morning slot
-Noods Stay for the remainder of the year
-The new season of Johnny Test airs on HHT

[Raidon Makoto]

Hopes
-CN Real is canceled
-Toonami is brought back
-All live-action is purged from the network and replaced with quality animated programming

Predictions
-Most animated shows in production will be burnt off totally by the fall
-CN Real will continue to spread throughout Cartoon Network like a virus, and more Live-Action shows will be added to the line-up.
-Brave and the Bold ends at 52 episodes. Secret Saturdays ends at 36 episodes. Chowder and Flapjack are canceled.
-Only one season of Adventure Time is made, and will be burnt off accordingly.
-What little new animation on the network will be Clone Wars and Canadian acquisitions.
-The Clone Wars Season 2 will premiere alongside CN Real.

Yeah, my outlook is pretty grim.

[Sketch]

I really don't think they're getting 10PM back. Adult Swim does much better than CN does overall so they're not giving that time back any time soon if ever. And since CN would waste it anyway there isn't a real shame in that... If they got The Simpsons it'd be nicer for 10PM than King of the Hill but I still think they play KotH first to get rid of kid viewers who would later tune into Family Guy and other AS shows.

[soundmonkey44]

I agree AS will most likely keep the 10pm timeslot.

OK

New Hopes
AS Airs Naruto Shippuden
AS Airs Soul Eater
AS gets 9pm on fridays & saturdays
All upcoming Animations are a decent success
CN live gets really low ratings (since its painfully obvious CN wants it to stay, at least for awhile. Its pointless to hope for it to die)
CN Makes a New action block
SWCW TFA, B10:AF, SS PPGZ, & One piece are all on this new action block

Predicitons
CN Airs more 4kids shows
CNLIVE Is aired exclusivly on weekends if ratings tank, everyday if ratings are stable, or increase.
The New Scooby doo Cartoon has mixed respone after it airs
CN acquires even more YTV & mabye a Teletoon show

[~Shoяe]

Hopes:
Flapjack gets at least a 3rd 20 episode season, hopefully a 4rth.
Chowder is given a chance to get back on track.
The Secret Saturdays gets renewed.
Adventure Time premiers to record numbers, proving a point to the execs and opening the doors for more animated series.
CN real fails completely
All live action projects in development get cancelled
Snyder and his kin are fired.

Predictions
CN real stays in a less major role. Most shows are cancelled after 2 seasons but replaced with new, equally bad ones.
The magic formula that gives TDA its ratings continues to elude the execs, since, of course, there is none.
CN takes several other radical changes in direction. All are failures.
Shows on CN become increasingly violent and action oriented.
TSS and Batman become CN's main animated series, leading to an action centered lineup
Flapjack possibly gets a mini-season, possibly renewed.
Chowder not renewed.
Adventure Time possibly gets second season, advertised as a premier and does OK.

[Rawr]

heres what i think will happen



- shows on CN Real will air only on CN Real with the occasional airings off of CN Real

- Naruto will finish up its last 10 episodes in a marathon format and lead into episode 1 of Shippuden... only to have this mess with Naruto happen a few years down the road again

- Sgt. Frog will find its way to the channel

- Chowder, Flapjack, Batman, and TSS will get another season

- Live Action projects will continue to stay in production

- We'll get a taste of life after the noods *doubt that one will happen till closer to the end of 2009*

- Adventure Time will launch and get some of the highest ratings for the network

- The Simpsons come to CN and air right before [as] comes on , Looney Tunes comes back

- 1~2 other animes + 1~2 other canadian shows

[850 Gyt]

We could just do what most people do: choose not to watch them. Cartoon Network was one of the last places I thought reality TV would touch but now it seems no station is safe from a reality TV takeover. Reality TV shows have really messed up all the good TV channels.

I could be a bit more understanding if the shows were actually good but so far from what I've seen, they're just teen-based ripoffs of reality TV shows that are already in progress. The basketball TV show looks aight (I'm kind of into a lot of sports, but that still won't guarantee that it'll be any good).

The only hope I have is that CN Real will fail and Cartoon Network will bring back some shows that will actually get viewers (seriously, does LOSE have a big enough audience just so that it can be considered a 'decent' cartoon). Honestly, Cartoon Network is just following suit with Nick and Disney who play cartoons that feel recycled, unoriginal, or end up being downright uninteresting. Most of those cartoons fail my attention test.

[Rho]

The Simpsons on Cartoon Network? I don't know about that. Sure, some kids like it, but it's far more likely for it to come to Adult Swim.

[veemonjosh]

The only thing I hope for that I don't think anyone has mention yet is the CN premiere of TMNT.

What we get is what we'll see, I guess.

[soundmonkey44]

On the subject of the simpsons I remember a bump awhile back (Like sometime last year) That sad AS would never be getting the simpsons. I mean I for one would love to see AS pick uo shows like the simpsons & Beavis & Butthead. But I doubt it'll ever happen. In fact I don't see more then one more acquisition & or anime in the next year or so.:radda:

& I must say I like Rawrs hopes/predicitons. If any of those come true it would be nice. But I don't see SGT.Frog ever coming to CN, mabye Nick or Sci-fi though.:flapjack:

I Myself have come up with one final hope.

CN Starts a CNCLASSICS! Block that shows cartoon cartoons made between the mid 90's-2004! That would be Awsome!:chowder:

[Rho]

CNCLASSICS = Yes.

Here's how they could do it: Sundays at 8AM- Noon.

8:00AM Dexter's Laboratory
8:30AM Cow and Chicken
9:00AM Megas XLR
9:30AM Samurai Jack
10:00AM Johnny Bravo
10:30AM Powerpuff Girls
11:00AM Mike, Lu, and Og
11:30AM Sheep in the Big City

[soundmonkey44]

10:30AM Powerpuff Girls
11:00AM Mike, Lu, and Og

That Schedule is Epic Win! (The only shows i would add would be courage, Grim Adventures the eds & Time Squad. )

I nominate Rho as the Next CEO of CN! LULZ!:D:D:flapjack:

i wouldnt mind seeing that CNClassic thing

Sgt. Frog seems like it could be the next big anime to come to the states.... i doubt it will be the next Pokemon among the younger kids... but i do think it could come close *while also appealing to the older folks as well*

Simpsons just seems like a shoe-fit for CN... they are going into the PG shows territory and Simpsons is one of the biggest and well known PG shows out there.... edit a few things here and there *not much* and throw it on right before [as] everynight and i do think it could pull in some down right awesome ratings... heck i know i wouldnt miss an episode of some of the older seasons of Simpsons

[DarthGonzo]

Doesn't change the fact that they'll probably never be able to air it.

[Rawr]

Doesn't change the fact that they'll probably never be able to air it.


without a doubt.... but it doesnt mean that it couldnt happen

[DeanBurrito25]

I like the idea than CN Classics. It's a much better idea than CN Real.

[GWOtaku]

I want Sym-Bionic Titan.

I expect Green Lantern: First Flight and the Batman & Superman: Public Enemies movie to air at some point. By fall it'll be 2-3 months after Green Lanter's DVD release, so I don't see why not. Batman & Superman could come 2-3 months after that.

Obviously, I would like to see Cartoon Network Real fail.

[AntN]

hopes:
block for cartoon cartoons
more appreciation for chowder and flapjack
an awesome Friday night action block with all premieres
predictions:
cartoon network changes its name to CN
live action becomes a main PRIME TIME thing
no more noods by 2010

[Xerroo]

Hopes: Removal of CNReal, Jonny Test, George of the Jungle, 6teen, Stoked. Bringing on Symbiotic Titan, Generator Rex, Adventure Time. A conclusion of Samurai Jack. Bringing back Courage, EEnE, Duck Dodgers, Megas XLR. Toonami with shows everyone can agree with. Less airings of TDA/TDI.

Predictions: CN continues to go downhill. Adds syndacated sitcoms such as Family Matters and Home Improvement. Also bringing teen drama like Degrassi and Saved by the Bell. Somehow CN cancells Titan, Generator Rex, BatB, Adventure Time, etc. CN becomes near full live action. Only cartoons remaining are from Canada (Stoked, TDA/TDI, Jonny Test, 6teen, George of the Jungle) And they only air them 2 hours a day (5 on Saturday, none on Sunday.)

More hopes:

Like Chaotic and Yu-Gi-Oh, CN also airs Dino King, Sonic X, and Huntik, but NOT Kamen Rider. CN has enough live-action.
If above happens, CN convinces Japan to make another Sonic X season.

[Rho]

Hmmm, Possible. I'd only want Simpsons on CN if they were older episodes.

[Sketch]

I nominate Rho as the Next CEO of CN! LULZ!:D:D:flapjack:

I hope you aren't serious.

I agree AS will most likely keep the 10pm timeslot.

OK

New Hopes
AS Airs Naruto Shippuden
AS Airs Soul Eater
AS gets 9pm on fridays & saturdays
All upcoming Animations are a decent success
CN live gets really low ratings (since its painfully obvious CN wants it to stay, at least for awhile. Its pointless to hope for it to die)
CN Makes a New action block
SWCW TFA, B10:AF, SS PPGZ, & One piece are all on this new action block

Predicitons
CN Airs more 4kids shows
CNLIVE Is aired exclusivly on weekends if ratings tank, everyday if ratings are stable, or increase.
The New Scooby doo Cartoon has mixed respone after it airs
CN acquires even more YTV & mabye a Teletoon show

Why have Naruto Shippudden on Adult Swim if you're going to have an action block on CN that airs anime?

[Linkdarkside]

Hopes
--Naruto is brought back
--Naruto Shippuden Premire

[Chazooma]

Hopes:
-noods stay for at least just one more year
-Adventure Time becomes successful (well, this is more into Winter)
-Cartoonstitute is successful
-All CN Real shows are put onto Wednesdays, so Saturday nights could be used for a new whole block, instead of 1/2 of one
-mentioned before, a 'blast to the past' kind of block showing on Sundays, Mondays or Tuesdays
-Chowder does not get canceled, and the original production team is brought back
-Flapjack is renewed
-Batman: B&B is renewed
-Secret Saturdays is renewed

Predictions:
-uh, CN will still exist? I don't know what to expect.

[SandStone88]

Hopes:

-Live action shows will fail as bad or worse as/than OOJH, thus having them completely removed from the schedule.
-Less Canadian acquistions. (Or at least have them not be a teen-sitcom kind of toons, too many as there is)
-An Anime block on a certain day. (That aren't toyetic-types of anime)
-A block that airs their old originals. It would be best if it had a similar name to boomerang, that way they would be kind of like advertising their other channel.
-That Chowder and TSS's will continue to air. Despite that fact I don't really like those two, I don't find it fair how Cartoon Network treats'em. =x

Predictions:
-The Othersiders and Survive This will be removed from the schedule after airing all episodes.

[850 Gyt]

I like the idea than CN Classics. It's a much better idea than CN Real.

Hah maybe that should be the Saturday block. CN Classic or an action block.

Seriously, I miss Toonami. Saturday nights were the only things I look forward to with Toonami. I didn't care even if it was Naruto (what's so bad about Naruto? It's actually kind of decent) or even some of those other shows like Mar and Blue Dragon (and those actually got good). But they pretty muchly stabbed themselves in the back when they cut Toonami. Here's the blocks I think they should have.

For any regular day of programming, bring back all of the classic and good cartoons. Switch it up and ratings should soar.

Get rid of those teen reality shows. Why would I watch them when there are already better versions of these shows? Why would I even WATCH reality TV to start with?

Has anyone seen that advertisement for that show Stoked? Come on, a cartoon about six teens who surf? Get rid of that show. I haven't even seen the first episode and I already know its garbage.

CN Real - Bump that. Replace it with something like CN Classic on both Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. For shows, I pretty muchly would have to jock off Rho a little bit and add a few (Courage, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Grim Adventures, etc.)

Har Har Tharsday - Keep everything but 6teen (that show doesn't even make me laugh..) and toss in some of the old cartoons like Ed, Edd n Eddy, KND, Cow n Chicken, Johnny Bravo, etc. and we've finally got a block that's hilarous (funny's good, but if CN wants to return to its glory days they need to go back to hilarous).

You Are Here - Switch it to an afternoon block and keep all the current shows (but add more superhero shows like Justice League Unlimited, X-Men Evolution, Static Shock, Ben 10 Series, even Transformers Animated, etc.) You know, make it sort of a Western superhero/combat block.

TCN (Thank CN) Fridays! - Evening/night block. We put on the cartoons everybody loves, get an animated host to run the block (could you imagine Shnitzel running the show? :radda: ) , and maybe even have musical guests/videos like the last time.

Toonami REVAMPED - The Saturday evening anime action block. Bring back Toonami with a revamped look and play both new and old anime shows that viewers like. Dragonball series, Naruto, Outlaw Star, Blue Dragon, Sailor Moon, Samurai Jack, One Piece, *ducks* Sonic X, Inuyasha, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon (yeah I know, but it has to be better than any of this CN Real bull), Digimon (it might actually do pretty good here), etc. I know some adult animes, but "kid" shows like Chowder and TDI practically cross the thin line between kid and adult shows so many times.

Flicks - Sunday movies. But I got 1 beef with it. They show movies that practically everyone has seen or have become so old. Solution? Show either an animated movie, an OVA series, or even some of the newer movies. Anything but a movie everybody and their grandma can easily say they've seen.

Design - I think Cartoon Network would probably have this one wrapped up. (But the ones I loved best were the Noods and when the characters walked around as if they were in a city)

But, I'm a dreamer really. Cartoon Network would rather be cheap and follow Nick's path than to listen to a dedicated viewer who may actually speak for a majority of fans who want something closer to the original CN.

P.S. RENEW CHOWDER, FLAPJACK, AND THE OTHER GREAT CARTOONS. NO TEH REALITY!

You know what?
YOU should be the one running Cartoon Network right now, not Snyder.

[SandStone88]

Wut?
No predictions from you Gyt?
Seeing as you're so hopeful,
I wouldn't want X-men Evolution back. I would prefer they try to grab Wolverine and the X-men from Nicktoons' hands. =x
I'm cool with Static Shock.

lolz

[850 Gyt]

Thanx, but it might be a little broken (but of course with a bit of cleaning it up it may be kid station gold). I'm just like any other fan: I miss the old CN because even though they're like the nerd of cartoon stations, they were like that cool nerd you couldn't even make fun of because he was smart, witty, somewhat athletic, and a bit of a playa. He was a nerd, but he was basically sweeter than most 'cool' guys.(Had to reference your quote :D)

I think it's the same for a lot of other networks too. Once cheesy live TV comedies, 'teen' shows, and reality TV shows get rolled up into a deadly blunt and smoked by the station, programming is basically brain dead.

[Silverstar]

For any regular day of programming, bring back all of the classic and good cartoons. Switch it up and ratings should soar.

Some classic Cartoon Network shows peppered here and there around CN's schedule (like, say a CN Rewind block that would air on weekends or weekday mornings or early afternoons) isn't a bad idea, but I don't really see the point of all of the classic cartoons coming back to CN in regular rotation as long as there's an entire channel for the classics, Boomerang. (Unless Boom and CN were to merge into a single entity, an idea I've pitched a few times before here.)

And with all due respect, "good" is in the eye of the beholder. What one person considers a good cartoon may not be what you or I consider a good cartoon. To many viewers, what CN runs during the day right now are considered good cartoons.

Has anyone seen that advertisement for that show Stoked? Come on, a cartoon about six teens who surf? Get rid of that show. I haven't even seen the first episode and I already know its garbage.Yes, we all know the value of pre-judging a show before we've even seen it.

Har Har Tharsday - Keep everything but 6teen (that show doesn't even make me laugh..) and toss in some of the old cartoons like Ed, Edd n Eddy, KND, Cow n Chicken, Johnny Bravo, etc. and we've finally got a block that's hilarous (funny's good, but if CN wants to return to its glory days they need to go back to hilarous).6Teen shouldn't have to go away just because you're personally not a fan of it. No one's saying you have to like 6Teen, but "I don't like that show" is a lame reason to want it off the air, especially when said show is one of the network's proven hits and no one is forcing you to watch it. And IMHO, canceled reruns don't belong on a prime-time block for first-run shows on a channel devoted mostly to premieres. Again, we're talking about Cartoon Network here, not Boomerang. If HHT were to get additional shows, then they should be new shows.

You Are Here - Switch it to an afternoon block and keep all the current shows (but add more superhero shows like Justice League Unlimited, X-Men Evolution, Static Shock, Ben 10 Series, even Transformers Animated, etc.) You know, make it sort of a Western superhero/combat block.Justice League/Unlimited is on Boomerang, X-Men: Evolution and Static Shock are both on Disney XD. CN doesn't need to run any of these shows. And again, reruns don't belong on a block for first-run premieres. Not to mention that most of the current shows on YAH don't have enough episodes to run every weekday.

TCN (Thank CN) Fridays! - Evening/night block. We put on the cartoons everybody loves, get an animated host to run the block (could you imagine Shnitzel running the show? :radda: ) , and maybe even have musical guests/videos like the last time.So basically it would be a cross between Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and Fridays, eh? I've said it before and I'll say it again: wraparounds are irrelevant. A block is only as good as the shows that are on it. If the shows on a Friday night block are entertaining, then I wouldn't care what CN chose to sandwich between them. But that's just me.

Toonami REVAMPED - The Saturday evening anime action block. Bring back Toonami with a revamped look and play both new and old anime shows that viewers like. Dragonball series, Naruto, Outlaw Star, Blue Dragon, Sailor Moon, Samurai Jack, One Piece, *ducks* Sonic X, Inuyasha, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon (yeah I know, but it has to be better than any of this CN Real bull), Digimon (it might actually do pretty good here), etc.An action block on Saturday nights wouldn't be a bad idea, though I question the need for such a block and YAH; 2 action cartoon blocks seems redundant, I doubt they'd go with the name Toonami, and unfortunately the shows in bold CN has either lost the broadcasting rights to or they never had the rights to begin with. Plus, an action block doesn't have to be all anime; there are plenty of action shows from other countries that CN could showcase as well.

BO-RING!!!!

No more CN Real either!

I'm gonna say "The Othersiders" and "Survive This" will continue airing re-runs even though its over. That's how it is these days. Re-Runs of the same episode.

[Rho]

I'd just like to point out that it's not just surfing..

I'm sure everyone on this forum would be able to agree (maybe except for a few) that CN Classics taking over CN Real would be the biggest step towards recovery for the channel. Hell, even if it wasn't terribly old shows, like if they aired Megas XLR and older Ed, Edd, n Eddy episodes.

[AJ1]

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a "CN Classics" style block, that could be fun and it would be a good way to please fans of old. I still think an action block with brand new episodes is important, either YAH or something else would work, and maybe some new shows too like the ones mentioned at the Upfront.

Hah maybe that should be the Saturday block. CN Classic or an action block.

Seriously, I miss Toonami. Saturday nights were the only things I look forward to with Toonami. I didn't care even if it was Naruto (what's so bad about Naruto?

:eek: YAH on weekdays and Toonami as a cap off to the week would be amazing! Too bad a Toonami 2.0 will never happen :sad: and YAH seems to be gone for good :shrug:, but CN could always create a new action block for new episodes and action cartoons.

[SandStone88]

I'm gonna say "The Othersiders" and "Survive This" will continue airing re-runs even though its over. That's how it is these days. Re-Runs of the same episode.
Maybe I should've state that those two will be removed from schedule much sooner than Destroy Build Destroy and BrainRush. =x
Or not renewed/ordered for another season.

Im Glad So many Like My CNClassics Idea! Isn't My Mind Fantastical!:evil: I kid of course. (Im sure im not the 1st whose sad somthing along the lines of it) But Im suprised no one that works at CN has thought of such a thing.:flapjack:

[KITT1982]

there is a rumor going around that The Secret Saturdays Kur Rising will be the last episode of series

[chdr]

there is a rumor going around that The Secret Saturdays Kur Rising will be the last episode of seriesNo, it won't. There are nine more episodes of TSS after that.

[KITT1982]

No, it won't. There are nine more episodes of TSS after that.

thanks for the relief:)

[soundmonkey44]

Anyone Know when The 2nd Season of clone wars starts (For either CN or AS)

and is Brave in the Bold getting a second season?

& Glad to hear TSS isn't cancled. I don't watch it as much as I did when it premired, but it would still stink to see a decent show go away so early.

[chdr]

Anyone Know when The 2nd Season of clone wars starts (For either CN or AS)

This fall.

and is Brave in the Bold getting a second season?

Yes. 26 more episodes.

[850 Gyt]

I can't really make any predictions since everyone's put it pretty clear: CN Real will fail terribly like OOJH did and Cartoon Network's executives will get a clean slap to the face that makes it obvious that reality and live 'teen' shows don't belong on a network that's supposed to be dedicated to cartoons.

My only hope is that they'll renew Chowder, Flapjack, SS (Secret Saturdays), and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. That and CN Real will go away.

Also found this article here which has some of the lineup for 2009/2010. (I'm probably late since by now everyone knows the line-up)

http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=2038&document=2

Some classic Cartoon Network shows peppered here and there around CN's schedule (like, say a CN Rewind block that would air on weekends or weekday mornings or early afternoons) isn't a bad idea, but I don't really see the point of all of the classic cartoons coming back to CN in regular rotation as long as there's an entire channel for the classics, Boomerang. (Unless Boom and CN were to merge into a single entity, an idea I've pitched a few times before here.)

And with all due respect, "good" is in the eye of the beholder. What one person considers a good cartoon may not be what you or I consider a good cartoon. To many viewers, what CN runs during the day right now are considered good cartoons.

Good, but not what we remember as viewers of the station. Whether it has to do with us aging or cartoons becoming more "plastic" or unoriginal is up for debate. I actually like Cartoon Network but I wish it was more 'phenomenal' like it was years ago. I mean all Nick does is run reruns all day yet they get higher ratings. (Know this is off-topic, but Spongebob has this special block where they are playing 10 Spongebob episodes in a row along with some guests appearances by special stars. Now call it coincidence or not, but I saw an advertisement for a Spongebob music disc. 10 Episodes that were probably hauled and won't have too much quality, a special, and a music disc? The sponge may be either going off or Nick's milking this for what it's worth.)

Cartoon Network and Boomerang merging? Hmm. That could work. Cartoons around the clock 24/7. Both kids and veteran viewers could have something to look forward to.

Yes, we all know the value of pre-judging a show before we've even seen it.

Sure, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but imagine this: you tell someone you just got done watching a cartoon. They ask what it is. You tell them it's Stoked. "What's Stoked?" From what I've seen, it's a show about six teens who...surf. I may be wrong about the show but usually first impressions drag in the audience. Of course little kids might watch it since Cartoon Network (along with other advertisers) can work magic when it comes to advertising something as that "new new" (Yeah I know, ATL reference) along with the fact that it's a cartoon.

Besides, didn't the N already have a live TV version of this along those lines?

6Teen shouldn't have to go away just because you're personally not a fan of it. No one's saying you have to like 6Teen, but "I don't like that show" is a lame reason to want it off the air, especially when said show is one of the network's proven hits and no one is forcing you to watch it. And IMHO, canceled reruns don't belong on a prime-time block for first-run shows on a channel devoted mostly to premieres. Again, we're talking about Cartoon Network here, not Boomerang. If HHT were to get additional shows, then they should be new shows.

Okay you have that one (Personally I never got the show. 6 teens who seem to spend the majority of their waking lives in the mall? I actually watched a few episodes of it, still couldn't get what was 'funny' about it) . But 'leftovers' can still be good, regardless of age. Many of the classic shows along with Toonami made Cartoon Network what it is today. And I'm not talking about every classic. Just the more popular ones like Dexter's Lab, Ed, Edd n Eddy.

I just get basic cable anyways so I don't even get Boomerang, and even so I couldn't find the time in my busy schedule as a high schooler to search for the shows on the station.

And the only way Cartoon Network would get new shows would be for them to buy them or hire a *decent* animation and writing crew.

Justice League/Unlimited is on Boomerang, X-Men: Evolution and Static Shock are both on Disney XD. CN doesn't need to run any of these shows. And again, reruns don't belong on a block for first-run premieres. Not to mention that most of the current shows on YAH don't have enough episodes to run every weekday

Reruns? That's basically Nick's entire programming block. Reruns and reruns of Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, etc. Reruns don't seem like too much of a problem since Nick basically claims one of the top spots for cable TV.

Cartoon Network could easily restore the old classics and easily put together an advertising plan that would get kids to watch them. After all, 6teen was on Nick but when it hit Cartoon Network it became one of the top rated shows. Most kids wouldn't even be able to tell they were watching old cartoons if done right (kids watch cartoons anyway if they can pass the 'attention test') and veteran viewers like me and so many others would easily plop down in front of the TV and enter that old stage of childish youth.

Cartoon Network could easily get any of those shows and using a bit of advertising and programming, make them gold. Don't wanna sound mean or ignorant, but how often do you hear somebody talking about Disney XD?

An action block on Saturday nights wouldn't be a bad idea, though I question the need for such a block when CN already has YAH, I doubt they'd go with the name Toonami, and unfortunately the shows in bold CN has either lost the broadcasting rights to or they never had the rights to to begin with. Plus, an action block doesn't have to be all anime; there are plenty of action shows from other countries that CN could showcase as well.

Toonami REVAMPED would of been more like an anime block (and of course would have had the little PG to PG-13 disclaimer so parents couldn't whine about it) that Cartoon Network could use. Could they go with the name Toonami? Maybe, maybe not but the purpose of it would still be the same (I'm still one of those CN fans who felt betrayed when Toonami went off the air). Broadcasting rights or not, I'm sure Cartoon Network could find other anime shows/cartoons that can be just as good if not better.

But I welcome that idea of some foreign anime/action cartoons.

I mean just think about the whole week if Cartoon Network came up with a schedule like that. Mondays and Tuesdays, we get regular programming with a few classics here and there. Wednesday, instead of CN Real we get CN Classic. Thursday, Har Har Tharsday with a few of the classic/funny cartoons back and probably some new ones if CN gets an animation crew. Friday, an afternoon action block and an evening/night block for great cartoons with an animated host (I WANT MY ANIMATED SHNITZEL :radda:). Saturday sort of caps off the weekend with CN Classic during the morning/afternoon and an anime/action block at night. Sundays for the Flicks, we may actually get some new/fresh movies that no one has either seen or might enjoy. That should have most CN fans drooling thinking about it.

[Candice Suzana]

It would be too much for me to ask that Cartoon Network play some of its more succesful shows such as Total Drama Action less. At least when it hasn't had 10 episodes shown. Though, it doesn't bother that much.

My other hopes for Cartoon Network? I hope that they air more animated shows as well as restricting their CN Real block to a certain night; Wednesday or Saturday would be fine since there are already live-action shows that premiere on those nights. Perhaps Adventure Time can debut around the fall but I don't remember whether or not it has already been confirmed to debut in late 2009 or not.

[MegaSonic55]

It would be difficult to play TDA less seeing as at the moment, it's the only thing that's probably keeping them in the top ten of shows. As for those shows listed at the upfront, anything Live-Action I hope fails. I think the Ben 10 series has gotten a little bit overdone now. Anything created by Genndy Tartakovsky who's created shows so great like Dexter and Jack will immediately get my viewership, Stoked looks great animation-wise, but I'm not really interested in. Generator Rex looks pretty interesting to say the least. Adventure time should also be interesting to say the least.

as for the things listed above. I am all for a CN Rewinds/Retro block. I would also like to see Toonami make a fabled return, but I do think that's asking a little too much from the current staff at CN. I'm sure this network could put anime somewhere on saturdays though to compliment Adult Swim's late Saturday block of Anime, but I might think again that's asking too much.

[Candice Suzana]

It wasn't in the Top Ten for the week of June 15 - June 21 (http://forums.toonzone.net/showpost.php?p=3293646&postcount=125). It's only one week of course so it might not even matter. On the other hand, it usually ranks in at least 5th place so it is "out there".

[Silverstar]

Cartoon Network and Boomerang merging? Hmm. That could work. Cartoons around the clock 24/7. Both kids and veteran viewers could have something to look forward to.

Thanks. :)

'leftovers' can still be good, regardless of age. Many of the classic shows along with Toonami made Cartoon Network what it is today. And I'm not talking about every classic. Just the more popular ones like Dexter's Lab, Ed, Edd n Eddy.Don't get me wrong; I love most of the CN shows from that era, and I certainly agree that there's a place for them on CN in an ideal world, but (and this is strictly the opinion of this old crank) prime-time blocks such as Har Har Tharsdays and You Are Here should be exclusive to first-run premieres; the classics, be they older or newer, should not be shown for such blocks as they've already had their time as premieres. IMHO, they can air some other time on the channel. After all, when Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, Animaniacs and Freakazoid! were on CN, they didn't air as part of Cartoon-Cartoon Fridays, even though they were and still are highly popular shows.

And the only way Cartoon Network would get new shows would be for them to buy them or hire a *decent* animation and writing crew.This is all too true.


Reruns? That's basically Nick's entire programming block. Reruns and reruns of Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, etc. Reruns don't seem like too much of a problem since Nick basically claims one of the top spots for cable TV.

Cartoon Network could easily restore the old classics and easily put together an advertising plan that would get kids to watch them. After all, 6teen was on Nick but when it hit Cartoon Network it became one of the top rated shows. Most kids wouldn't even be able to tell they were watching old cartoons if done right (kids watch cartoons anyway if they can pass the 'attention test') and veteran viewers like me and so many others would easily plop down in front of the TV and enter that old stage of childish youth.

Cartoon Network could easily get any of those shows and using a bit of advertising and programming, make them gold. Don't wanna sound mean or ignorant, but how often do you hear somebody talking about Disney XD?As I said above, I don't think reruns should be shown on a prime-time block unless it's dedicated to reruns, but I only just noticed that you said that your version of YAH would air as an afternoon block, essentially, another Toonami. So I'll eat some humble pie and retract my statement on this. Mmmmm....


Toonami REVAMPED would of been more like an anime block (and of course would have had the little PG to PG-13 disclaimer so parents couldn't whine about it) that Cartoon Network could use. Could they go with the name Toonami? Maybe, maybe not but the purpose of it would still be the same (I'm still one of those CN fans who felt betrayed when Toonami went off the air). Broadcasting rights or not, I'm sure Cartoon Network could find other anime shows/cartoons that can be just as good if not better.

But I welcome that idea of some foreign anime/action cartoons.Regardless of whether it was given the Toonami name or not, I know lots of people would love the prospect of another saturday night action block. I'd just like to keep it open to some non-anime shows as well as Japanimated ones; one of my favorite shows to come from Toonami was Megas XLR, and American-produced show, after all.

[Rho]

They would probably get great ratings if they did make a Toonami REVAMPED.
Just as a side note, "PG-13" isn't a TV rating, it's TV14. Just pointing that out.

Hey, even if they made Toonami a saturday morning block and replaced TWF with it, that'd be good enough, as long as reruns of YAH/Next Friday Night Block shows were absent, and if reruns of anything, make it stuff like Dragonball and Megas.

(I'm hoping we can discuss this without there being a huge Toonami argument, so we can have the discussion without mods having to issue out warnings and whatnot)


I know one thing, it'd do better than CN Real.

That's every Cartoon Network fan's motto. "It'd be better than CN Real."

Cartoon Network: Fall is just something that grown-ups invented!

Yea that and cheesy reality shows.

Cartoon Network: Are you seeing it? *montage of characters saying 'yes' appears*

Was at first, got a little shaky when some shows went off, but now I don't even see what you're seeing. Seriously? Reality shows? Who's behind this?

Cartoon Network: I bet you didn't see that coming!

NO...No one saw that coming. The station that was supposed to be dedicatde to the cartoons and anime that we love turned on us and became the next Nick or Disney. If we wanted that, we would just watch those channels. Seriously? The Othersiders? You know everyone has already heard of Ghost Hunters? And I'm starting to think there's something fishy going on because this show plays at the same time as Ghost Hunters (not playing; I was looking at that scrolling cable guide and saw The Othersiders playing at 8 tonight. Guess what was on Sci Fi at that time. Yep. Ghost Hunters.)

[AJ1]

As much as I don't want non-animated shows on CN, I have to admit that I am warming up to Brain Rush and Destroy Build Destroy, I didn't think this would happen. I hope cnReal stays, but eventually remains on it's own block and does not end up on the network throughout the day like it is now. Another hope I have is that [adult swim] stops airing non-animated shows too, that Tim&Eric stuff was cringe worthy and that other show they have now isn't fun either.

The only Reason Adult Swim gets by with playing live action is that it doesn't have CARTOON in its name. Not to mention the Mighty Boosh Is pretty darn funny. I would'nt mind seeing reruns of it on TBS or the CW once its finished its run on Adult swim.:moon:

But Yea CN still can't justify showing live aciton on a netweork with the word cartoon in it, no matter how hard they try, I admit Destroy build destroy is somewhat entertaining. But it just seems like a show that should be on Discovery kids to me.:radda:

[Rho]

If they were wise, these would have either not gone to Turner, or they would have been on a kids' block on TruTV.

[Sketch]

Again you guys really don't seem to get the situation.

These shows airing on CN are not on CN because Turner had nowhere better to air them. They're on CN because the current management wanted to air them and hoped they would get new viewers by showing them. So far, that's not really working out but they're not going to give up that easily.

However once CN realizes these shows aren't going to work for them they may end up going to another Turner network since they bought them and want their money's worth... but only time will tell. Most shows that bomb on CN don't get rerun elsewhere except maybe Boomerang and I don't want to wish CN Real upon Boomerang... I'd never want that.

[Kaveh77]

What will happen

The othersiders will be canceled
Survive will last one more season
brainrush will last one more season
Destroy Build destroy will be canceled
SlamBall will do very well

Unless CN Real does even worse than Its already doing and they cancel the whole block

Adventure time will get high ratings
Chowder will last another season:radda:
Flapjack will last another season:flapjack:

Batman will get another season maybe more

CN Real shows on Boomerang would be even worse...

I still stand by a kids block on TBS or TruTV.

In 1998, due to restrictions on children's advertising, as well as the move of better cartoons to cable, WTBS dropped all the cartoons that fall and moved those exclusively to Cartoon Network (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Cartoon_Network) and also eventually toBoomerang (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Boomerang). WTBS continued to run a mix of movies, sitcoms, and drama shows. By 2001, shows like Full House (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Full_House), Family Matters (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Family_Matters), Cosby (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Cosby), Friends (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Friends), Seinfeld (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Seinfeld), Home Improvement (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Home_Improvement), and other 90's sitcoms moved onto the schedule. In 2003, WTBS dropped Little House On The Prairie and other drama shows. They also moved away from drama movies.
Currently, the focus of TBS is now comedy-related, focusing mostly on sitcom (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Sitcom) reruns and originally-produced reality (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/Reality_television) series and comedy feature films, using the slogan "Very Funny." It is intended as a direct contrast to sister channel TNT (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/TNT_(TV_channel)), which had focused on old movies initially but moved toward and now focuses on drama-related programs and recent drama movies.
On September 1 (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/September_1), 2007 (http://forums.toonzone.net/wiki/2007), a high definition version of the "Superstation" feed of TBS was launched.

I just hope Comcast brings back Cartoon Network.

[KITT1982]

I just hope Comcast brings back Cartoon Network.

I have Comcast digital cable (they suck) and I have cartoon network. but they dont have Boomerang in my area any more :sweat:

[Envy II]

Dream (NOTE - this is not supposed to be realistic at all.):
- CNReal gets ditched. (Does not belong on CARTOON Network)
- Toonami comes back.

(And for what I'd really love from Toonami if it came back is if they were to give FUNimation's One Piece dub another chance. I know that Toonami most likely isn't going to come back, and I know that if it did One Piece would not come back, but I can dream right?)

- Having ditched CNReal they keep their current cartoons and bring out the good old ones. The ones from the 1990s and early 2000's, as well as the old classics like Looney Tunes.

- Adult Swim adopts more anime (Monster would be a good one, since it's getting dubbed, but it maybe too much for Adult Swim, I don't know...)

Prediction:
- CNReal stays around, even if it bombs horribly.

- More and more cartoons get removed.

=( I'm pessimistic, but I just can not believe they actually went through with CNReal.

[Candice Suzana]

And Cartoon Network is an animation channel, so live action shows will never happen.

Oh wait...

The difference is that Cartoon Network targets children and the curent management have already shown that they aren't hesitant with moving Cartoon Network in a different direction. An early example of this would be the airing of Out of Jimmy's Head. Even though animated creatures were on the show, they weren't the main focus. TBS and TruTV have not made any suggestion of creating a programming block in the near future or at any point since those channels do not target children. A more likely choice would be the CW during Sunday mornings or after the CW4Kids block on Saturday mornings.

[YogiBR123]

I have Comcast digital cable (they suck) and I have cartoon network. but they dont have Boomerang in my area any more :sweat:

That's strange. I have Comcast Digital Cable, and I just got Boomerang in my area on demand.
-----------------------------------------------------------

HOPES: -CN Real fails horribly in ratings and will be cancelled or at least
be cut back on reruns. That goes for Slamball, too.
- A new action-oriented cartoon block is created, and lasts for
at least a year, unlike YAH.
- Canadian acquisitions will be put on a seperate block, similar
to O Canada (a far-fetched idea).
- Live-action programming, with the exception of CN Real, will
stick to The Flicks.
- Snyder resigns and another executive is hired who does a
much better job (another far-fetched idea).
- Chowder and Flapjack survive.

I'd post my predictions, but the list will be too long and repetitive to read.

[850 Gyt]

If things keep going like this, CN will either try to put on a toddler program (which will most likely fail since Nick and Disney already have those on point) or worse: an educational program. *runs around screaming like a maniac*

Considering how Cartoon Network's last preschool block had terrible ratings and ended fairly quickly after it started, I doubt that they'll try to have another preschool block anytime soon. While I also don't see anything wrong with educational programs, I don't really see Cartoon Network heading in that direction anytime soon either.

Not that educational programs aren't good..but I watch cartoons to rot my brain and get a good laugh; for me, learning belongs solely in school and during extreme times when I get bored and start browsing web articles.

[YogiBR123]

Tickle U was a complete failure for CN, ratings-wise. So, to have CN repeat that failure again is just completely pathetic.

Of course, who knows? Maybe edutainment fares better these days than during the mid-2000's.

Predictions...
CN Real (bad non-wanted shows) will become the stations main "core" they will build their future on
Cartoonstitute will be delayed from fall to late December
Cartoonstitute will be promoted with a WPT/WAC! marathon
The E, E n E movie finally airs this year
Cartoon Network will change it's name either on Jan 1st, 2010 or June 14th, 2010

Hopes...
Cartoonstitute will be promoted with a WPT/WAC! marathon
Cartoonstitute airs on schedule and isnt delayed
Cartoonstitute becomes a hit
The E, E n E movie finally airs this year
CN Real gets flushed down the toilet and CN apologises for that stupid idea
Toonami gets relaunched as 2nami
Swat Kats get a 3rd season, come on TimeWarner, you **** !

[YogiBR123]

I don't see your logic as to why CN would air a marathon of WPT/WAC! shorts to promote Cartoonstitute. After all, CN is trying to forget and abandon it's past.

8:00 PPG
8:30 Dexter's Lab
9:00 Ed, Edd, n Eddy
9:30 Johnny Bravo
(Any of the above slots and old-school shows are interchangeable)
Genndy brings his new show, and it's a hit just like his other shows were.

Another set of my hopes/predictions:

Hopes:
-CN airs Code Lyoko again (COME ON. AT LEAST GIVE IT AN EARLY MORNING SLOT. GIVE IT THE FOSTERS TREATMENT FOR THE LAST S4 EPISODES UNTIL SEASON 5 COMES ALONG FOR ALL I CARE. Umm...yes, overboard on the caps, but yeah)

-They launch a "CNRetro" block

-Toonami returns

-CN acquires American broadcast rights to "Tara Duncan"

-CN tries to erase all traces of CN Real

-CN gets the 10PM-11PM slot back, at least on weekends

-This is VERY, VERY unlikely, but Animal Logic and CN team up to bring new city bumpers and revive the city era.

-Another VERY, VERY unlikely thing: [adult swim] moves to TBS, and CN is 24/7 again

-Stuart Snyder gets fired


Predictions:

-Scooby Doo goes back to the late morning/early afternoon slot

-CN Real shows finish their runs then get cancelled

-HHT is removed

-CN announces that they will air the 3rd Season of "Total Drama", as some call it.

-Noods vanish and are replaced with a new theme

-LOSE and Chowder are cancelled

-They launch a "CNRetro" block


I'd love to see that and it could potentially work well and you know... get ratings


-Toonami returns


I wish but it's fine if it doesn't come back


-CN acquires American broadcast rights to "Tara Duncan"


That would be nice


-CN tries to erase all traces of CN Real


Hopefully but I doubt it


-CN gets the 10PM-11PM slot back, at least on weekends


Yeah I don't see that happening and since CN would waste the time I guess it's just as well... though AS doesn't use the time well either... hmm that's a conundrum.


-This is VERY, VERY unlikely, but Animal Logic and CN team up to bring new city bumpers and revive the city era.


Well that'd be cool but I don't see it happening


-Another VERY, VERY unlikely thing: [adult swim] moves to TBS, and CN is 24/7 again


That wont happen any time soon and I really don't think CN would use the time well anyway but it's more so the case that CN couldn't do as well with their demographic in those hours than AS can do with the time with their own demographic.


-Stuart Snyder gets fired


Alright it's one thing to note discontent with the current management but it's a pretty jerk move to HOPE for someone to get fired. Just say'n...

[creativerealms]

1: CN Real is not removed all together but it slowly gets less and less air time due to the poor reception and airing. It is reduced to one block once a week while the shows finish their episodes, vanishing all together by Summer 2010.
2: The Saturday Crush zone is reinvented, given more new shows and premeres, basicly takes the places of YAH. More premeres of secret Saturdays and now Batman the Brave and the bold. As well as those new action shows in the works. Becomes a block that reminds people of what Saturday Morning cartoon programing once was.
3: (more of a dream) a small monday Night anime block (only an ahour at first.) featuring Naruto shippuden and a surprise show.

I think that's a pretty reasonable wish. However, live-action will still remain on the network. Remember that, everyone.

one thing i would really want is a "Retro" block... airing every weekend for 3 hours... and an anime block each friday for 1,5hrs...

it wouldnt kill them... it wouldnt cost them much... and they would get better ratings... but i guess those clowns aren't interested

and by the way, i will say it again:
I finally want to see some video from Cartoonstitute. That thing is scheduled to premiere in 3 - 5 months and we haven't seen a single clip or promo. It makes one wonder whats going on with the show...

And one more thing. I hope it has a catchy tune lol...
Kakakakaka...Car
Kakakakaka...Toon
Kakakakaka...Stitute
Cartoonstitute, Stitute, Stitute, Stitute

yeah, ill be 5 yrs old again lol...

I hate to say something extreme but, CN Real should be a separate channel. The Noods can stay if they want, even if I prefer the old City Block, but that won't happen. Also, a BIG request. Some CN Shows that should be original by CN, not Canada. Too PG-Rated. :p

Chowder getting the axe? That would be complete suicide. Besides that, so many people love it (reminds everyone of the old Cartoon Network)

I've never really heard of or seen Powerpuff Girls Z but from an article it looks like an anime. How good is it?

The only thing I might watch on CN Real is Slam Ball. I know, I hate the reality programming but I love a good sports program (hopefully its good:sweat:)

A point I just wanna bring up: is it me or does anyone else get completely tired of people saying that some of the good shows on Cartoon Network suck? Yes I miss the old shows too and the newer shows may be nothing like the old shows. You just can't beat the 80s and 90s since they were the golden age of cartoons. (and even some of the older cartoons which reach back to the 70s and 60s) But, Flapjack and Chowder have to be somewhat good. Are the people who say this bitter Toonami fans, guys who think cartoons are immature, or just people who bash the new cartoons without giving them a chance?

I thought it was confirmed Chowder was getting canned thanks to the post on the creator's website?

PPGZ is indeed an anime based off of Genndy's PPG, It's kind of in limbo right now I would think...

There is a reason why Slamball moves from network to network and has yet to establish a firm home I would think.

Well comparing the new shows to the old shows, it's hard to imagine (at least in my view) that people would want to watch Chowder or Flapjack over shows like Samurai Jack/PPG/Dexter's Lab/Teen Titans/Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, etc. etc. because that was the powerhouse era for CN. There are probably some bitter Toonami fans out there too. Toonami is and was one of the best blocks that CN had. To be fair, I did watch Flapjack and Chowder on occasion when there is nothing else on. Chowder is watchable, but Flapjack, not as much. Of course, that is one man's opinion.

[soundmonkey44]

Yeah, Stinks about PPGZ being stuck in Limbo, I really hope that it makes its way to CNUSA sometime within the next year.

I also mis the old shows..Thats why as soon as I have enough extra dough, im gonna try to get the CN Block Party & Teen Titans Go! GNs either at my closest comic shop or online.

& I really miss toonami as well & am still bitter at times, but I'm just glad I have DVDS &/or manga for most Toonami shows. & will hopefully be able to find a decently priced copy of Deep-space bass.


Personally I think we will see a lot of good & Bad things come from cn for at least another 2-3 years. but im sure eventually CN will be the best place for cartoons once again, and we can always hope/wait/petition for our favriote shows to get dvd releases.

[Lavenderpaw]

Who does Cartoon Network think they're fooling?

Shortening of name.

More live action shows everyone could live without.

My prediction: By 2012 CN without the C will just be Network.

It will probably renamed something like Network Nation or something. :sweat:

[Blackstar]

My prediction: If Cartoon Network changes it's name, it won't keep the C or the N; Turner will just give it a random, wanna be cool handle, like 2Cool4U, or some smeg like that.

[dth1971]

Here's my hopes for CN Fall 2009:
* Acquire the rights to rerun Filmation's Fat Albert and Filmation's Archie cartoons (which could also be rerun on Boomerang)
* Make a cartoon trivia game show that is in the style of the old 1980's Nashville Network game show Fandango and the old 1980's MTV game show Remote Control (Believe me, it will be better than the Brainrush game show!)
* Bring back Warner Bros. Looney Tunes shorts airing in an hour block once a week.
* Cut back the Tom and Jerry shorts to a once a week hour block.
* Bring back the Boomerang sampler for Sunday mornings with a different year spotlighted each week.

[Silverstar]

Here's my hopes for CN Fall 2009:
* Acquire the rights to rerun Filmation's Fat Albert and Filmation's Archie cartoons (which could also be rerun on Boomerang)

If Turner were to ever acquire the rights to the Filmation library, they'd be airing on Boomerang, not Cartoon Network. CN doesn't do retro, at least not on a regular basis. It'd be nice, though: Boom is badly in need of an upgrade.

* Bring back Warner Bros. Looney Tunes shorts airing in an hour block once a week.
* Cut back the Tom and Jerry shorts to a once a week hour block.
* Bring back the Boomerang sampler for Sunday mornings with a different year spotlighted each week.I agree with all of the above, except for the cutting back of Tom & Jerry. The T&J airings don't bother me. And as said before, a lot of people would like see a retro block of some kind on Cartoon Network, but I don't see it happening as long as Boomerang exists.

Something similar to that was made by Cartoon Network UK. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skatoony)

I would love to see PPG Z. PPG is definatly my favorite cartoon so I would like to see it's spinoff. But it mostlikly won't air.

Powerpuff Girls Z isn't a spinoff of PPG, as it's not a continuation of the previous series. In PPGZ, the girls aren't sisters, they weren't born with their powers and Professor Utonium isn't their creator or guardian. It's not even made by the same team who worked on the U.S. PPG. It's just a Japanese variation of the series. PPGZ is (more or less) a 'Magical Girl' anime with the PPG characters' names attached to it.

Oh Okay for some reason I thought it was a spinoff series.Thank's for clarifying.;)

[Blackstar]

No problem.

Just as a point of interest, in the short "City of Clipsville", we get a glimpse of what the PPGs (as well as the Rowdyruff Boys) would look like as teenagers.

[MegaSonic55]

Still though, Cartoon Network was involved in making the series, so why they wouldn't decide to show it over here after they had a hand in making it in Japan, I can't see why not...

[Ian Hatfield]

I don't think CN will ever air PPGZ in the states. It didn't exactly set the world on fire, plus it really is completely different than the original PPG. It doesn't help that is has an awful English dub.

[Master Toon]

I never knew Cartoon Network had a hand in creating it. Maybe there's just too many cultural differences or maybe some people in the US like the girls the way they are.

[macattack]

Or maybe Cartoon Network just doesn't feel like running it. Ever think of that?

I know Toon Disney's Jetix block never ran all of the stuff produced by international Jetix blocks/channels.

[Zeeva]

I have no predictions for the fall lineup, only hopes.

Hopes-

Get rid of that dumb show 6teen.
Total drama actions gets a relapse.
Air more teen titans

Air Secret Saturdays more
Air Samurai Jack once again
More batman cartoon movies
Give me my johnny Bravo
PPG'S
More Ben Ten

[Blackstar]

Or you could just ignore it. Just because a show is on doesn't mean that you have to watch it.

Air more teen titans
Give me my johnny Bravo
PPG'S
Air Samurai Jack once againAll of those shows are airing (in reruns) on Boomerang.

MOD EDIT: There's absolutely no need for snide and rude replies. If this continues you will get warned.

[Rho]

Samurai Jack airing on CN wouldn't be a surprise. They aired Teen Titans again a bit after it went to Boomerang.

[Plowhead]

A wish to the way it was. Samurai Jack finally gets Endgame. JLU is conquered by Darkseid. Megas XLR as it was meant to be. Mad Jack the Pirate in reruns. Oggy and the Cockroaches in reruns. Big O returns with new episodes. PPG makes a comeback. Cowboy Bebop on AS. Naruto Shippuden on but Hulu has us covered I believe. Legion of Superheroes in reruns and a new movie. Dexters return. Nuff said.

[Blackstar]

A wish to the way it was. Samurai Jack finally gets Endgame.

Samurai Jack will begin airing (in reruns) on Boomerang starting next month, so at least there's there's that to look forward to (provided that you get Boomerang, that is).

JLU is conquered by Darkseid.Neither DC nor Warner Brothers would ever allow that to happen.

Megas XLR as it was meant to be.Megas XLR was perfect the way that is was. My only complaint about Megas is that it ended too soon. I just wish that someone would release the series on DVD.

Mad Jack the Pirate in reruns. Oggy and the Cockroaches in reruns.Unless I'm mistaken, 20th Century Fox owns those shows, and Disney is sitting on a bunch of them and is refusing to air them. Plus, Mad Jack and Oggy are both pretty old and obscure (both series only ran for a single season), so the chances of those aforementioned coming to Cartoon Network are slim. It would be great if FOX would create a Fox Kids Channel, so that all of those defunct Fox Kids shows could see the light of day again, but alas, it won't happen.

Big O returns with new episodes.Cartoon Network didn't produce Big O; they only aired it. A revival of the series wouldn't be CN's call to make.

Cowboy Bebop on AS.Turner doesn't have the broadcasting rights to Cowboy Bebop anymore. However, if you just wish to see Bebop again, the entire series is available on DVD now.


PPG makes a comeback. Dexters return. Nuff said.PPG and Dexter's Lab were both uncanceled once already, and the less said about these revivals, the better. I guess that I'm in the minority, as I would prefer to see some good new animated series on CN than a bunch of medicore revivals of canceled Cartoon-Cartoons. Personally, I don't have a problem with CN airing new shows, as long as the new stuff is good... and animated.

[zoid9000]

Cartoon Network didn't produce Big O; they only aired it. A revival of the series wouldn't be CN's call to make.

Turner doesn't have the broadcasting rights to Cowboy Bebop anymore.

Cartoon Network co-produced (mainly sponsored) Big O season 2 after positive fan reaction to season 1, so they did have a hand in it. If they contacted the right companies overseas they could make a revival happen. So, yes, it can be their call to make, but it's not likely to happen at all.

Source? Bebop has always been one of [as]'s favorites, I find it hard to believe they would let it go without a word. Furthermore, Bebop icons are still available on the adult swim message boards and usually when they lose the rights to a show, the icons go as well.

[Rho]

Umm.. Cowboy Bebop airs at 4AM on Adult Swim on Sundays.

[Blackstar]

All right-y. So it appears that I was mistaken about Turner no longer having the broadcasting rights to Cowboy Bebop. Even so, I still would rather see Cartoon Network produce some decent new original series than revive a bunch a bunch of old ones, but that's just me.

Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab were both great shows, but they're also done. Shows end, and it's very doubtful that CN would want to revive either of them. I'd love for CN Studios to revive Megas XLR, but it's not going to happen. Plus, if the last new seasons of Dexter and PPG were any indication of where the series' were going, then I'd rather they stay gone.

Cartoon Network isn't going to slip into reverse, bring back all of it's canceled shows and return to the way that it was in the 1990s. This is something that we'll all just have to accept. Like I said earlier, I have no problem wirh CN airing new original shows, as long as they're entertaining.

[clipeuh]

Unless I'm mistaken, 20th Century Fox owns those shows, and Disney is sitting on a bunch of them and is refusing to air them. Plus, Mad Jack and Oggy are both pretty old and obscure (both series only ran for a single season)

Actually, Oggy and the Cockroaches has 3 seasons (the most recent one aired in 2008 in France) and about 65 episodes. Sadly it probably won't ever air again in North America. :sad:

[CyberKFox]

My Hopes for CN Fall '09 Line-Up
- A Better Christmas Lineup
- renewal of Chowder (TBH, It's the only good show on CN)
- The axing of CN Real
- End of live action movies
- Acquiring better shows (ie Untalkative Bunny)
- Bringing Powerpuff Girls Z Stateside
- Total Drama Action will end and will be the last of the franchise
Predictions (though a bit rusty)
- Chowder gets renewed
- CN Real gets it's plug pulled
- PPGZ
- the end of the Total Drama series
- acquiring better films (ie Watership Down)

[Rho]

Don't expect the "Total Drama" series to finish anytime soon. It's one of their highest rated programs, and they'll inevitably air the third season.

[Blackstar]

Actually, Oggy and the Cockroaches has 3 seasons (the most recent one aired in 2008 in France) and about 65 episodes. Sadly it probably won't ever air again in North America. :sad:

Oggy and the Cockroaches does have 3 seasons, but it only aired in the U.S. on Fox Kids for a single season. Anyway, it's a moot point, since I'm quite certain that Turner doesn't have the broadcasting rights to Oggy, so it's doubtful that the series will ever air in again in the States, let alone on Cartoon Network U.S..

Total Drama Action will end and will be the last of the franchise

Technically, Total Drama Island did end. We're on Total Drama Action now, and why should CN get rid of one its highest rated shows just because you don't like it? Just change the channel and watch something else when TDI/A comes on. Problem solved.

Bringing Powerpuff Girls Z StatesideI'm not going to debate anyone's choice's, but it baffles me that so many people want Powerpuff Girls Z to get a U.S. release. I've seen it, it's not very good. It wasn't even a big hit in Japan and it has little in common with it's American counterpart. A part of me is cynical enough to believe that half of the people who want PPGZ to come to CN U.S. are anime fans who just like the thought of CN acquiring a new animated series from Japan.

[Silverstar]

renewal of Chowder (TBH, It's the only good show on CN)

I also hope Chowder manages to escape the ax, however, I disagree that Chowder is "the only good show on CN". The channel has a few decent shows right now: The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, The Secret Saturdays, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Johnny Test (yeah, I said Johnny Test! Technically, it's an acquisition from Kids' WB, and the reruns are played a lot, but it's OK in small doses) and the Canadian imports such as 6Teen and Total Drama, while not necessarily my cup of tea, are nonetheless very popular with viewers and bring in high ratings for the network. Not a bad thing.

Honestly, before this whole CN Real thing happened and that obnoxious Andrew W.K. video hit the scene, I felt that Cartoon Network was slowly starting to pull itself out of the hole.

Ah, finally someone I can rely on to make smart remarks to opinions and
fix the problem with that remark.

Anyway...

Hopes

6Teen gets aired in order someday with ALL the episodes
CNReal bombs or Survive This gets moved to a diff channel
Chowder gets renewed :chowder: :chowder: :chowder:
Total Drama Island airs uncensored :chowder: : Someday...
Johnny Test moves to an exclusive Saturday morning time
EEnE movie gets aired (earlier would be nice)
CN would get that 10-11 block back if they wanna extend HHT by an hour


Predictions
6Teen would have skipped the episodes too 'inappropiate' to air
CNReal would have made it's way off the channel by now
Chowder gets renewed :chowder: :chowder: :chowder:
TDI will be aired occasionally uncensored, late in the day between TDA and 6Teen
Johnny Test will stop being aired when better shows are available to air
EEnE movie would have aired weeks ago
TDA will get a HUGE season finale promo/marathon
CN will make their own show with the quality of TD, but not the same plot


But this is in my own little world, I wanna hear what other people say.

[Blackstar]

Not anymore. The video has since been removed from "That Site", likely due to all of the negative feedback that it's been getting.

The Total Drama...characters are all based on stereotypes of reality show contestant archetypes. The Total Drama shows were created to parody reality TV. The characters are intentionally stereotypical. That's the joke.

And to reiterate what I said earlier, just because a show is on, doesn't mean that you have to watch it. Cartoon Network removing one of it's highest rated shows just because a handful of adults (all of whom are well past CN's current demographic) on the internet don't like it wouldn't be a smart move on their part at all. CN will continue to run TDI/TDA as long as it continues to put butts in seats.

I would appreciate it if this thread could get back to its original topic. This is not the place for CN Real discussion or the Andrew W.K. promo video. There is a thread in the Entertainment section for this exact reason.

I've already had to give out some infractions for this thread. Please get back on topic with the hopes and predictions for the fall season. If there are more problems with this thread in the future, either myself or one of the other Cartoon Moderators will close this thread. Thank you.

[xmendude]

Well, I think Cartoon Network is doing better schedules each week. Let's just hope the Fall Schedule is good! :)

[Spaceman]

HOPES for 2009 and beyond

-CN Real is gone, buried and forgotten by this time next year
-Adventure Time becomes a big hit and one of their funniest comedy originals ever
-Flapjack remains in production for years and maintains it's present high quality
-The Secret Saturdays gets renewed for at least one more season-long story arc
-All 13 shorts produced by the Cartoonstitute are aired, and the best ones are developed into series (Manny & Khan = comedy gold)
-The Flicks airs more ANIMATED movies
