Do You Want The OLD Cartoon Network Back?

I wouldn't call this a Cartoon Network Rant but more of a deep dive into the Warner Bros Discovery era and what that means for the future of Cartoon Network according to the president of CN.

Do you think Cartoon Network can return to it's "original charter"?

[@lyricalvarez7919]

Absolutely. It worked so much better in the past.

[@christopherbishop2570]

I truly believe that, with enough hard work, time, and open-minded people, Cartoon Network will return to our funny tv network that we would wake up early in the morning excited to watch.

You mean the charter filled with only Teen Titans Go? Depending the situation, it's most likely...yes.

Different art styles would be cool but...I'd really just appreciate different stories being told. Just take a look overseas; one of the most popular kids program is Pretty Cure, a hand to hand combat magical girl show that is even outselling Toei's other kids program: Super Sentai atm. I'd love to see another mecha show get made, you don't always need to go comedy with your show and always poke holes at tropes. Have the show play them seriously, have them show appreciation for the genre they're using. It's how something like Gundam has managed to remain popular through the years.

[@TMS-Oddbot]

@@Thekinggamelon I sincerely do not see that really being a good time to look at for nowadays. So many things were different back then. If Cartoon Network is going to make all the cartoon stuff for HBO Max, then their shows NEED an overarching story, plain and simple. I also think Teen Titans Go is completely contrary to their whole claim of going back. I think, if they really want to move forward by looking back, then they need to take their #1 show and go back to what that show is a reboot of. Season six of Teen Titans should happen. Even if it is just the one season, that is the best transition probably. Unfortunately, they canceled shows that could have been good foundation for this change. And I think they can only go out with a bang by looking backwards, unfortunately.

as much as I LOVED Shows like Adventure Time Regular Show and Steven Universe I'd just hope that Cartoon Network will one day go back to it's roots and provide new and original Shows that BOTH Kids and Adults will like

[@georgebrankov2143]

The truth is that the creators have not been making animations for anyone (not even children) for several years. They just make a simple art style for all their new shows (which is copied from adult animations) to limit the views and ideas of what animation is and to lower the demands of the new generation born since 2007 and at the same time easier to satisfy them so. What do you think is the reason that all their new animations look the same and only stereotypically comedic?

[@papercut_reviews]

What I want from Cartoon Network is for them to make banger shows for a new generation, that I (someone who grew up in the early to late 2010s) can also enjoy. Going back to the 2010s or 2000s way of doing things would just stagnate the network, not allowing new creatives to do new things. Also that Kanye parody is fire.

[@michaelstrong5383]

considering I can always watch shows that CN aired from the 90s and 2000s, that's not super appealing. I'd just like shows that can be awesome and original in it's own way, shows not piggybacking on what came before, because then it's not original or neat. It's just a rehash.

I grew up during the 2010's renaissance, not the 2000s or the 1990s, and it was shows like Gumball, We Bare Bears and Steven Universe that inspired me to write me own One of the things that I think made that decade so special is the variety. Every single show was completely different in tone, setting, artstyle, and characters. And the writing and dialogue of each show was completely different. It felt like I could read the script, with no characters, and instantly recognize which show it was from. And that is what I want. I want each new show to feel completely different. And I have faith in the new shows to so that Also Gumball movie is not cancelled I will not hear it lalalala I'm not listening

[@pichugirl6]

When I think back on what made CN, it was having wide variety of different entertainments as Cartoons. Ranging from action, slice of life, horror, silly comedy, and episodes that don't need to have bigger plots. So many art styles, different people, the creative passion, ranging from the early 90s to around 2010 era. The problem with slightly modern CN shows (not all but some few) the company would focus more on profits and silly excuse claiming it needs to marketing instead of a captivating audience and their humble feedback. Shows that make you question if they truly were meant to be this long and not end the show much earlier.

[@jackhhun2698]

That seems to be the primary attitude for everything now. We need money and we need to advertise not actually give you the thing we say we produce everything its even in our politics

I think the thing that makes me saddest is the death of creative branding. I have a very special interest in bumpers, IDs, indents, the like, literally anything with tv branding. It’s disappointing with the jump to streaming services that this creative medium of network branding in those forms, those time capsules of history, we’re not going to have them anymore. The day cable dies is the day that we lose the way we catalogue the histories of these networks. It’s just saddening to me. I’d love to have the old era of shows back, but I’ll be honest the bumpers make me the saddest. I don’t know if that’s silly, but it’s just unfortunate.

I do wanted it to come back because I used to love and remember some of nostalgic cartoons from 2010s like adventure time, regular show,etc.

[@brainthebrian3690]

Been saying this for years, the most of those older shows just hold up objectively, what's missing in the newer shows is that slick expert level writing they had, but nooooo, we're just old, cranck and nostalgia blind for calling a spade, a spade and saying the newer shows aren't as good.

[@N12015]

Same logic I can apply to shows like Spongebob. I didn't grew with Nick because of SpongeBob ironically scaring the 3 year old me with the "butterfly" (My oldest memory at that). Now I saw some of the chapters as a teenager and I LOVED THEM due to how creative the humor was and i can see why people is dissapointed by the new one. Nostalgia can only do so much, in this case making us forget the mediocre and bad shows but still remember the good moments; what i'm saying is that there's stuff you can learn from those things that cause nostalgia, in this case how creativity can go a long way to make a show great while copypaste makes you forgettable.

Don't just move on and forget about the generations before. *But* I also want this new decade of cartoons to accomplish what other shows couldn't do or didn't do.

As in get away from the thing, cal arts outlines and more ed edd n eddy and fosters and whatever else that stood out. What made CN unique was how experimental with its style vs something more in line that was nick or disney. Even adult swim just reused old animation and made something new. The old ATHF episode was pretty much photoshop in a sense. It's what made those shows stand out and it's what you remember...

I think this is just another symptom of the death of an era in animation. I remember as a kid back in the 90's watching "What A Cartoon" and "2 Stupid Dogs", and the pilots for PPG, Dexter, Johnny Bravo, etc... The point is, animation then took a risk and went running the whole nine yards with it. Studios were willing to gamble and trust in the vision of their animators andnproducers rather than a bunch of out of touch, heartless board of investora. There has been promising pilots being made during the years, like Rocket Dog or Claire, but since studios care more about satisfying the ever fickle moneybags than to build a reputation for passion in animation, well... *it is the end of big screen programming as we know it.*

My channel number with Comcast was 060, when we switched to verizon it was 257.

[@DylanMatthewTurner]

My Cartoon Network was on channel 24 (see SpongeBob meme) when I was a child for the short time my parents paid for it (then all I had was PBS), but later when we got FiOS it was 252, and now the channel is none bc I don't pay for cable

[@aiswaryabersan7983]

Happy to be born in 90s one of the best time to witness great cartoon, anime, music, movies, next gen don't know what they missed

[@niko5008]

My Cartoon Network channel was 24, i think. 44-45 was Fox, 25, 26 and 29 were Nickelodeon, Disney, and Disney XD. 23 was Paka Paka and 31 was a broken channel that always put the CRT calibration screen (the color bars). I only remember it because as a kid i always used to be perplexed by how the yellow was made, because zooming really close to the screen you couldn't see yellow, only red green and blue lines, also zooming too close gave you electric static shocks, one of the reasons why i get scared of being close to screens. Anyway in DirectTV, it was 304 for Cartoon Network and 220 (i think) was TruTV, 204 was Fox, and uh, that's all i remember in DirectTV.

I literally stopped watching and grew out of Cartoon Network's older shows altogether for good because these stupid, toxic 90s and 2000s brats won't stop crying about Cartoon Network not airing their past cartoons

[@Shootky00]

I respect your opinion man but some of those 90s and 2000s brats are not wrong I’m mean I want to see those old shows again for nostalgia

[@callumjones5666]

I'm very much hoping that we get standalone TV shows that can appeal to every type of audience (although I disagree with the preschool shows being on cartoon network than being on cartoonito I can look past that) here's to next year and hopefully bold and fresh ideas coming to life!

[@beastmaster9731]

My channel for Cartoon Network was Chanel 66

[@artistanthony1007]

I want another show as ballsy and mature as Code Lyoko with a villain as extreme, psychotic, creepy and iconic as X.A.N.A..

[@ScarletRebel96]

Channel 25 was the station number for cartoon network in Maryland during my childhood

[@JRRDOfficial]

I hope CN will be a better for next year. I hope

[@paperfox19]

i wanna have hope, some of the upcoming shows might be interesting I'm very curious about the gremlins cartoon

[@moxxiedemongamer3019]

out of all of the New Shows that have been announced I truly do hope that Unicorn Warriors Eternal will live up to the Hype knowing they brought back Gennady Tartakoskey for Adult Swim's PRIMAL which was EPIC and LOVED his work from Both Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack I hope that Unicorn Warriors Eternal will be good and live up to the hype also they really need to bring Back Sym Bionic Titan back for more Seasons

[@jackhhun2698]

Tartakoskey's Primal is AMAZING. yesh i do hope so too

[@Cursed_Neo1]

It should go back to it's old days

[@saiyanwarrior3895]

same for disney xd and nickelodeon old shows like ones from fox kids and jetix

[@demomainintf2963]

Didnt Ben Bocquelet stated in a twitter post stating that the gumball movie is in a Schrodinger's cat question . Or dead and alive situation.

[@samuelluas3541]

My adventures with superman? And summer camp island back? *HELL YEAH* 8:45

[@KennyMcCormic0]

What the WHAT? They cancelled the Gumball movie? WTF dude?!

[@keeby4]

My channel number was 860, that was engraved into my memory.

[@crystallinecrisis3901]

I never wanted the return of the “glory days” of the 2000s to early 2010s (well aside from a couple things) but I just want CN to produce quality content again which they’ve been struggling with for a few years now

[@AmongusBalls65]

What up jay

[@elizabethbotha5006]

"The Gumball movie is guaranteed not to come out" Me: NOOOOOO!!!! DON'T SAY THAT!!!! It just needs to be bought by other streaming services so it can then be released! My only hope is to see this movie!!!!!!!

[@JasonBladeReviews]

2:47 Look ma, I'm on TV O3O

[@MrTimshellscherber]

That’s music to my ears.

[@thescreamingicecube4666]

O darn I was exited for the gum ball movie

[@tylerensminger]

I want new projects to be announced. Not really acquiring existing ips. Thought right now that would be better than what we have now

[@idkgaming282]

4:56 NOOOOOO!

[@scoots291]

I would be happy if it played more then 2 shows all day until adult swim gets on

[@MetalAcitistJim]

Where's that Metalocalypse movie coming out

[@43Second]

I would love to see a new Cartoon Network renaissance where we can go back to the way the channel used to be: cartoons being made not just for kids.

[@obt_stxtch7874]

Gumball S7 is in production

[@rjs4176]

To think that the words of a CN veteran turned CEO could give me so much hope for the future. Finally, after years of being trekked through the mud, being ricked across the coals and braving through the storm, a brilliant ray of light sits at the end of it all. But of course, words are just that, words, what matters more is action! Only time will tell if that ray of light was ever truly there or just a desperate hallucination.
