Where is the Classic Cartoon Network?

With the online and television presence fading away, what should be done about the 90s and 00s toons in CN's library?

And the sad thing is that The creators of Courage The Cowardly Dog and KND actually want to continue their shows and CN is ignoring them. There are actual people giving CN ideas on a silver platter for a show and the network just took matters in their own hands and just made bullshit reboots that no one asked for

[@carlbloke8797]

WowJedi unfortunately so

[@carlbloke8797]

***** ikr CN is just being a douche to their own original programming

[@shinji2898]

Ginni Hamadan I remember when there was new ommiverse episodes but no commercials for it. The only reason I know that they exist is because of the tvguide on cable.

[@CaptainBZarre]

... Cartoon Network hasn't announced any reboots in over a year. All of the recent shows they've announced (OK KO, Craig of the Creek, Apple & Onion, Summer Camp Island) have all been original shows. I'm even starting to think that CN has acknowledged that people have hated the PPG 2016 reboot - they air new episodes on a Sunday death slot without even advertising them now.

[@carlbloke8797]

Captain B. Zarre glad to see light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the Cloudy series will be the nail in the coffin for reboots

[@TheArceusftw]

Make boomerang great again!

[@WolfieboyMachi]

TheArceusftw: Was there a time when Boomerang actually was great? When has Boomerang aired anything other than Hanna Barbera cartoons?

[@SwizzlyBubbles]

SYNDICAIDRAMON Every day since the 2015 rebrand 2 years ago. Even then...that was part of the channel's motif. Baby Boomers, a throwback channel, and old cartoons from that era? *Boomer*ang. That said, though, it could definitely do with the 90's and 00's cartoons as those old toons you can just as easily watch nowadays through DVD or whatever at this rate, whereas those era of cartoons....they're either getting the shaft from the Network, or CN just takes no care in reviving/rebooting their own shows, to the point where Adult Swim, their late-night block is now just being considered its own separate thing from the Network.

[@booklover4330]

I think that Boomerang did actually have a bunch of the older cartoons that originally aired on Cartoon Network, but they got rid of that. (Although I could be remembering wrong).

[@CaptainBZarre]

They did - as recently as a few months ago, actually. I have every episode of Dexter's Lab, Chowder, Courage, and Kids Next Door recorded off of Boomerang.

[@Torturephile]

Boomerang had classic Cartoon Network shows from the late 2000s until 2014.

[@RoundtableVids]

About the social media prescence, they're actually doing that with the launch of the Boomerang streaming service! My friend MKAtwood who works at CN is actually going to be a producer on the social media this summer so it won't be cringey and try hard.

[@carlbloke8797]

The Roundtable too bad you have to pay for the shows despite the whole point of Boomerang is to watch old shows

[@coreylineberry8557]

$40 a year..... Whoo, that's expensive.

[@coreylineberry8557]

Could you pitch this to him/her? See if he can get it to the Turner Higher-Ups?

[@shinji2898]

Oh yeah, MKAtwood! I love her channel.

[@theredsea9126]

The Roundtable Still doesn't help bro!!!

[@tyliahgray6289]

Instead of a block on Boomerang, Cartoon Network should create another channel and called it The Checker Board after CN's old logo. Much like how The Splat is to Nickelodeon.

[@Torturephile]

irken24, Latin America has Tooncast, and they show just classic Cartoon Network stuff.

[@JacobHillSBD]

Tyliah Gray Turner Broadcasting probably has a dying channel they can repurpose, it wouldn't​ be too hard.

[@HalfEvilTripl3]

@irken24 They could just rebrand boomerang as The Checkerboard.

[@itheckinwindy]

For awhile there, Boomerang was playing 90's-2000's cartoons in the afternoons. From like, 2013 to 2015 they were airing the original Teen Titans and old episodes of Pokemon, among other things. Then they updated the channel out of the blue and all of those shows got thrown out along with the Hanna-Barbera stuff...

[@isetmfriendsofire]

I honestly preferred when Boomerang was 80's and prior only. It used to have Looney Tunes, Popeye, Yogi, the old Batman cartoon, the only Superman cartoon, Pink Panther, etc. Back when they did that, CN wasn't afraid to air older CN shows on the main channel. So everything got shown.

[@adamkaunfer4384]

To be fair, Turner lost the rights to Pokémon. But everything else is just sitting there...

[@YujiUedaFan]

The only classic stuff they air on Boomerang here are: Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo.

[@shawnpacheco1754]

Boomerang still has Looney tunes and Tom and Jerry but with out smurfs huckleberry hound Top cat and all the hanna-barbera shows Boomershit is shit😔.

[@sadlobster1]

Lost the rights to whom?

[@carlbloke8797]

Even Pokémon got tired of CN's crap because the network barely gives it any attention and they moved to Disney XD.

[@YujiUedaFan]

Som shows vanished off of CN recently for whatever reason! What's odd, is they vanished not long after getting new episodes!

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

While Nickelodeon seems to be recovering from network decay (though they still need to phase out Dan Scheinder), Cartoon Network seems to be stuck in a rut with Toddler Teens Go, shady business practices of splitting seasons of a show in half as an excuse to make it have more seasons and of course the subject of this video. It's kinda sad that CN has had the biggest downfall in recent memory.

[@Landon11195]

homesponge just because of one good shoe doesn't mean a channel is getting better.

[@WilfredCthulu]

Pieguy, I've been watching you since 2010. How come you still feel underrated?

[@datguyyo]

Because it seems the people of KZbin would rather have something to look at while watching instead of simply listening to what he has to say. Whereas other users use actual copyrighted clips when talking about subjects like this, PieGuy does not, and as a result, he is not as popular. To most people on this site, it does not matter how well you present the subject, if you don't have the actual visuals to go with it, then they will have no patience watching it, and thus is why we have overrated reviewers like Vailskibum94 and Mr. Enter.

[@emilygordbort7300]

Because the last time I dropped his name (because the KZbinr whose channel I was on sounded exactly like him to me) nobody had a clue what I was talking about.

[@Landon11195]

Ethan what is the problem with vail

[@datguyyo]

He uses nostalgia as an argument.

[@mayflower6403]

Ethan Weird, when I watch videos like this, I never cared about what was on the screen since I only watched them in the background.

[@troin3925]

During the 20th anniversary of Cartoon Network, they did a great job at paying tribute to both their new and old shows. They even brought back various voice actors and had characters interacting with each other!

[@smokesterify]

It sucks that a lot of older shows are no longer aired. I discovered Ed Edd n Eddy through reruns they had on the channel back in 2011, which something like that would obviously never happen on the modern network. Regular Show is also completely gone after it aired the finale, Adventure Time is also pretty gone aside from new episodes. really sucks.

[@wootmasterzorsx]

What I think I liked best about the classic era of CN was the general crossover of it all. I'm a major proponent for crossovers due in large part to Cartoon Network's longstanding use of them in the older bumpers. Heck, it's part of why I love Smash Bros. so much, as an aside note. Wanna see Frankie Foster snarking at Ben 10 when he wipes out in one of his alien forms? How about Lazlo of Camp Lazlo singing Bloo a huge musical number about all the great things you can find at Cartoon Network? Or how about the Mayor of Townsville throwing a plastic bag away and it flying all over the city as we watch the characters just living their everyday lives and how the bag has the tiniest impact such as Grim getting the bag caught in his face which saves him from the KND dropping a water balloon, the bag scaring Shaggy and Scooby as they investigate a dark alley, foiling the Eds attempts to get a picture of a UFO, which was Duck Dodgers' ship, ultimately ending on Megas XLR's radio antennae? Because they did that, too, and so much more. And that's all CN City era stuff, this isn't even getting into how there were two separate times where Scooby Doo and Courage naturally crossed over, one where Courage has a nightmare Shaggy and Scooby dress up as monsters to muscle him off the network and another where Scooby and the Gang met Eustace, Muriel, and Courage and told stories when they had to stay the night after the Mystery Machine broke down in a huge marathon of both shows. Or the time a variety of the Cartoon Cartoons hosted a Halloween edition of Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and we had the likes of Chicken, Blossom, Johnny Bravo and a few others interacting through the night. And of course there's the great intro to Cartoon Network Fridays with that great song as the camera pans through the building as TOO MANY CAMEOS AND CHARACTER REFERENCES GET MASHED INTO ONE SUPER CATCHY SONG! And that's part of what made the 20th anniversary so awesome was just how they went back to that well and did a bunch of crossover bumps. Like one where a number of the networks' stars were driving in their respective vehicles starting with Fred and Barney in their prehistoric foot powered car leading to the Mystery Machine and ultimately Mordecai and Rigby in one of the golf carts as they crash into Fred and Barney or how they parodied the dogs playing poker picture and had Gumball pop in trying to point it out before leaving because of the dogs v. cats deal or how they did the one bumper where Fred unmasked a trio of classic Scooby villains revealing them as comparable characters from other shows and Scooby unmasked himself to reveal himself to be Dukey from Johnny Test. And the really big party bumper where various characters just interacted like Eustace and Muscle Man or Velma and Lion-o and it ended with Daffy and Bugs taking a group photo. Honestly, if I were in charge, I'd want to be super ambitious with a retro cartoon block and do crossovers of a similar nature in tiny bumps with the newer shows and the older ones. Have the old Teen Titans make fun of the new ones, have the Eds trying to scam Steven, Scooby Doo afraid of Panda and vice versa, just something like that. I adore crossovers because of this network, so I would want to do SOMETHING with the idea of crossovers again, since part of Cartoon Network's charm was how they had all these characters who were so interesting and entertaining and having them meet each other was just the icing on the cake, and their newer shows would be just as fun to have added to the madness. Kinda a short answer as I just described a bunch of bumpers, but I just wanted to share my thoughts and explain why I love crossovers so much because of how these bumpers were so varied and amazing because of how they mixed and matched universes on a whim and it was always funny to see these characters and how they interact.

[@kungfudingdong]

You sir is God

[@valentinus7776]

I agree. While I definitely think new shows should be the primary focus of Cartoon Network, I do want Cartoon Network to air their old material again.

[@brianlevine871]

I've also just been sticking with the Internet nowadays when it comes to watching shows. However, you do bring up some good points about how CN should be more respectful to its older material. Of course I want the channel to keep producing new stuff, but it would also be nice to air their old shows with them, rather than... well, you know.

[@SeaStarTea]

"do what you want cuz a pirate is free..." YOU ARE A PIRATE

[@ToastyNoneofyourbusiness]

I absolutely agree! As someone who grew up in the early 2000s, stuff like Boomerang and Nicktoons was the only way I could be exposed to older, better shows. It was around the late 2000s when we got rid of cable because they didn't have enough variety anywhere anymore. If the brung back a multi-hour cartoon cartoon block I would definitely want to get cable again.

[@treyblaze22]

Toasty Noneofyourbusiness this is the same time TV started sucking. also who was the the idiot that thought airing live-action show on a cartoon channel was a good idea?

[@YujiUedaFan]

The guy in charge of the network! He though because cartoon were getting bad reviews (due to them sucking) it meant that no-one liked cartoons anymore. Sadly, the other kids channels followed suit, as Nickelodeon, and Disney have very, very few cartoons on them now.

[@treyblaze22]

Ueda Yuuji Fan boomerang is even worse than cartoon network.

[@jordanhenry3117]

Where is Ed edd n eddy

[@monstersreview]

Thank you Pieguy. I've been waiting for other people to say this for years. Cartoon Network has been the only kids/cartoon channel to neglect and not fully utilize its older properties. Nick has launched The Splat and are doing faithful revivals of some of their older properties, Disney has started airing reruns of their 90s-2000s sitcoms at night, and all CN has done are a couple crappy and unfaithful reboots. The only shows they rebooted were, of course, the ones that sold the most merch. Though CN's older properties weren't as mainstream as Disney's or Nick's, they were still immensely popular and probably maintain the largest passionate and niche audience currently. The network unfortunately continues to dig themselves into a hole. They could be making so much more money by paying attention to an audience they ignore, rather than maximizing the airtime of their most popular current shows.

[@butterpie7592]

MonstersReview As terrible as Nickelodeon is nowadays, at least they know how to pay tributes to their older properties

[@radicalhedgehog_]

Boomerang is bringing back Codename: Kids Next Door, Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Dexter’s Laboratory, The Grim Adventures Of Billy & Mandy and Chowder to their Schedule.

Here in Latin America, they do air older cartoons (Fosters Mansion, Dexter's Laboratory, KND, etc.) early in the morning (Like 5 AM). And there's this channel, Tooncast, where they air some Music Videos between commercials and they air some older cartoons too, from Hanna Barbera and the Cartoon Cartoon Era

[@jopat87]

GAHD, are you right. There were so many brilliant interstitials and skits during the commercial breaks on the Cartoon Network back in the day. Who can forget gems like "This looks like a job for a twenty!" or "Solomon Grundy want pants, too!"

[@mrmanpersonguy5812]

I don't see why they don't just do this idea on Boomerang. Why do they have modern shows on a network meant for showing older cartoons? That would be like TV Land showing episodes of The Middle or something.

[@itheckinwindy]

It doesn't make any sense. They're shooting their own profits in the foot by running two channels that air almost the exact same shows. It just splits their current viewer base in half at double the price...

[@smokesterify]

If CN made a nostalgia block, I'd want to see old City and Noods again in commercial breaks (those two in particular because they're the most nostalgic to me)

[@darkdragonnasir]

Every day on the way home i watch codename kids next door on KZbin. Quality is bad but it is the best I can get :(

[@CaptainBZarre]

I've been archiving Cartoon Network commercials and promos for years now, and trust me when I say that I really wanna see them air these promos again. I seriously can't believe that Cartoon Cartoon Fridays hasn't made a true comeback yet, and so many of the things they did back in the late 90s - mid 00s could be done today. If it ever happens, I'll be sure to talk about it :]

[@PIEGUYRULZ]

+Captain B. Zarre Been enjoying your uploads :)

[@izzymcgee2527]

I really hate this ditching old cartoons trend. It's like they're not even hiding that they're just trying to bottleneck fans into buying the DVD sets whether they exist or not.

[@YujiUedaFan]

Lol... What I hate the most is when something I really want is US only (AKA Hulu) and all other versions of it have been taken down.

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Warner Archive Collection should release some of these tv shows that doesn't have a hope in being sold in stores.

[@mistx7115]

I think this is a great idea. Even some cartoons from the early 2010s are missing in action

[@ChikoCheez]

I remember a few years ago when Nickelodeon was the one fucking up and Cartoon Network was the one pumping out success. Oh how times have changed. Jokes aside, the biggest thing the network needs to improve is the scheduling. I know Teen Titans GO is their biggest success and all, but that's partially because it's practically the only thing they air nowadays. You don't need to cancel it, just balance out the air time with their original shows. Airing the older stiff would be a nice touch just to give the schedule more variety.

[@Landon11195]

CC Just because of one good show and a few upcoming specials doesn't mean a channel is getting better. Most of their shows are still crap, they still re air Spongebob to the ground, their bumpers are boring, and they treat shows that aren't Spongebob like crap.

[@LKid246]

Landon Legate Actually, a majority of those shows are great ideas, but the quality is what's lagging.

[@isetmfriendsofire]

Honestly, we would need the checkerboard era too because of shows like 2 Stupid Dogs and other really obscure ones that you cannot find anywhere. I know a lot of things during that era are more Boomerang friendly now, though.

[@YujiUedaFan]

Boomerang got derailed! In'that cute, but it's WRONG!

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Cartoon Network needs to really step up its game for its classic library. It's sitting on a huge gold mine of content that it doesn't want to use. And of course, it's cramming itself full of souless reboots, TTG, PPG 16, and the new Ben 10.

[@ZNKChannel]

The CLOSEST THING to CN paying respect to Cartoon Network is the 20th anniversary bumpers/commercials.

[@souldemonofshadows120]

The adult numbah 1 idea really got me i cant stop laughing XD

[@itstriv8569]

The year is 2060. Cartoon Network is now called The Teen Titans Go Network, where they only air Teen Titans Go. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

[@casualcraftman1599]

It's really annoying that My favorite CN show The amazing world of Gumball always airs along side the worst CN show Teen Titans go.

[@nitrosherbert888]

thos are the olny good one 3= is ok tho

[@nickgarraud6080]

yeah I personally agree with you cartoon network should make a block on boomerang thats like the splat called the checkerboard that airs old classic cartoon cartoons and cartoon network originals from the 90s to the mid 2000s that would be awesome

[@carlbloke8797]

It would be awesome if CN brought back Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. Imagine the potential if they had old CN shows like Ed Edd n Eddy crossover and interact with new shows like Regular Show

[@GrandpaParrotNHB]

Once again, I gotta hand it to Pieguy for addressing another noticeable subject in television animation and building great ideas upon it with clarity, cohesion and creativity.

[@PinkieLopBun]

There's actually some classic PPG on Cartoon Network's website, though they put it in the same section as the reboot, so I can see how it could've gone unnoticed. I'd post the link, but it seems to hide my comment for some reason (or at least I can't see it when I'm logged out).

[@toon4thought]

There's also a few of their classic shows On Demand, but only a few.

[@harold5337]

It's nice to see people actually acknowledge solutions to this problem, PieGuy knows how to fix CN. In the UK where I live, CN didn't release their older shows on DVD at all, and it sucks that CN won't acknowledge their classics like Nick did. You'll make tons off it.

[@BrendanBarney]

I can't believe it. PIEGUY referenced the anime You Are A Pirate!

[@YujiUedaFan]

Funny, because Boomerang here airs Lazy Town.

[@joncena4538]

You all are the 33 that disliked

[@TamahuCaraSe]

I've always seen Boomerang as a sort of museum for older cartoons. I tend to think of things that are at least a decade old or older, from really old things like The Jetsons or The Flintstones to the gems of the 90s/early 00s like PPG and Dexter's Lab. Last I checked their schedule, however, shows like TTG (which really does not need more airtime) and Sonic Boom were airing on it. While preserving the cartoons of the 90s and 00s is certainly important, I feel like a great deal of CN's current shows need saving too. Going off of the cnschedulearchive tumblr, getting variety on the channel has been a struggle and, the way I see it, any show that does not perform quite up to par gets their time slot sacrificed to the resident deity of cancerous television. In other words, shows aren't given much time to prove that they are of quality, and thus get pushed aside in favor of TTG or some other higher-rated show. But, that isn't what you were asking, so forgive me for my off-topic ramblings. (I am always curious about your opinion, though.)

[@carlbloke8797]

I suggest they call the TV Block The Checkerboard

[@toon4thought]

Honestly I think Disney needs something like this even more than CN does, considering the majority of their older shows aren't available anywhere, including iTunes.

[@mayflower6403]

Toon4Thought Doesn't Disney Channel have Disney Rewind or did they take it away?

[@toon4thought]

I may check again but I think they got rid of that over a year ago. And, apart from Xmas 2015, the only classic cartoons I remember them having were Ducktales and Kim Possible, both of which are available in some form elsewhere.

[@toon4thought]

I should also point out that Kim Possible is like the only cartoon they made between 1995 and 2007 to get an official home media release.

[@oliviawhitman7648]

I totally agree 100%, I can not fathom how much I miss all of Cartoon networks old original shows if they where to bring them back it would make my world.

The Cartoon Network City Era is my favorite of the Eras (being the one I'm most familiar with), having all the Cartoon Characters of the time living in this City composed of various Locations and Landmarks of Shows, Interacting with one another was an Awesome Idea.

[@Geznoo]

Don't worry, all of the classics will be rebooted, in time. HAHAHAHAHA!

[@booklover4330]

Ugh the reboots are terrible, whoever thought of reboots should be slapped. Continuations are perfectly fine because they continue the story, but reboots are just awful.

[@Geznoo]

The reboots don't even retell the story, or tell any story for that manner. They just have the characters run around and pretty much do nothing.

[@superorangecat6937]

I didn't like the animation of that show. I grew up on more vintage animation so Adventure Time animation annoys me. I also didn't like the shows humor and voice acting.

[@LordKraken3]

Sadly, modern CN would never logically think to do something like the Splat, because their vision's clouded by greed, and the people there LOVE to play the favorites game a LOT when it comes to programming nowadays - They don't care about things like Ed, Edd, and Eddy or Foster's, CN only cares about its reboots and We Bare Bears. And sure, you have Boomerang, which did serve as a Splat... in the past. Nowadays, Boomerang only cares about mediocre at best and shit at worst CG shows, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, and Looney Tunes, which aren't the kind of shows people want to see on there. THOSE would be Courage and KND, which many people, including their creators, WANT to see come back to the air, but NOOOOOO. Gotta have that Ben 10/ PPG reboot and Tom and Jerry/ Scooby-Doo ad spam! There's just no hope for Boomerang or CN at this point. Let me tell you this; you know you've fucked up when Nickelodeon, which used to be the most hated of the four big animation channels, actually cares about their fans' feelings and what they want, and is legitimately doing better than you in most ways, if not every way.

[@AchiBellarosa464]

The one thing that Nick does right, CN doesn't do.

[@slowpoke9634]

They need to at least release their fucking older shows to VHS.

[@adamkaunfer4384]

[@stuart5980]

for me CN's city era has to be the peak of TV animation ever

[@ivanribeiro5422]

I wanna say,that this is one of the ways that Brazilian cn is better that the us cn. Not only they have reruns of some old shows like KND,Dexter´s lab and foster´s home (Although they play like very late at night,probably cause they dont have adult swim),there also an entire an entire side channel named tooncast that only play their old shows (plus some Hanna Barbera ones) and it even has some of the older bumpers and promotional material. Honestly,I dont wanna sound to patriotic but brazilian cn is wayyy better than the us one in almost every way,I mean not only the schedule is more fair,with lots of reruns to several shows,and no show is giving an absurd amount of reruns more that another,but they also have promotional material with lots of creativity,which is not as good as the ones that came before,but a lot better than the ones us cn have now.they have like talkshows where this Brazilian celebrity interview some cartoon characters,this this where an narrator recaps what happened on the new episodes aired on that week,and makes jokes and observations about with,and even lets play videos with the Brazilian voice actors of modercai and rigby acting in character,they are all on cn brazil´s KZbin Chanel,and I wanna say check out some of it,even if you don´t understand it,it´s quite interesting on itself.I almost always prefer the original dub of a show to it´s Brazilian dub,but besides that I think Brazil´s cn is better thant it´s north american counterpart in almost every way.

[@cartoonloverzxc3237]

You Didnt Know It But This Was A Great BirthDay Present Video You Made!!

[@TheAutobotPower]

As far I know, A Cartoon Cartoons-like segment is (or was, idk) showing on CN-Mexico. What's the catch? it's 2 hours, on 4 am. Then there is Tooncast, a channel full of Cartoon Cartoons and others. And yeah, the idea of being able to watch things like Adventure Time (2010), TF:Animated, Chowder(2007), TGAo Billy & Mandy(2003), Sheep in the big city(2000) and many others in the same channel is very sweet.

[@Naoplays1]

FINALLY! SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE SPLAT! THANK YOU

[@pgj1997]

Maybe they can bring back "Har Har Tharsdays" on Thursdays. Not sure how they'd pull it off, but it's an idea. Best way I can think of is just pull a SNICK and recreate the original lineup. Maybe not for the entire block (if I remember correctly, it was only a 2 hour thing) but maybe have it during the first two hours of the block or something.

Luckily, you can watch some of these shows on DVD, but not as much as we should be able to. Oddly, the CN show I miss most being aired is 2 Stupid Dogs. A few years ago my brother and I used to watch it every night.

[@Crimson_Mayhem]

That's a very good question!

[@silviacerritos1487]

Spot on man! I miss the the old Cartoon Network and wish I could show my son what I grew up watching , I’m sure he’d appreciate the humor

[@cinephile9885]

Spanish is my first language, so I used to see my Cartoon Network shows in Spanish.

[@bullmonty764]

Hey hey hey hey hey! Take another look at that schedule! It's not predominantly ...That show, but the schedule is slightly more varied than it was 2 years ago!

[@saiyan4414]

I miss the Superbowl parody they used to do.

[@brycefourn2001]

I do like the idea of CN making a big block of their old shows and bumpers, but I wish that like Nickelodeon, they should revive some of their classics with the cast and creators back such as Ed, Edd, n Eddy, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. :)

[@cartoonloverzxc3237]

What A Wonderful Video Very InSightful!

[@tylerensminger]

These shows are going the digital route it seems with I think it being on the Boomerang app. I don't know if any of the classic shows will air on TV again or not. I like your ideas though and I wish we could get something like it on CN or Boomerang or both

[@Fiddl3head]

Are they serious with that airing scedule? Seems like the finally have their own Spongebob, which they can spam 'till the cows come home...

[@carlbloke8797]

Is it possible you can talk about Justice League Actions and your thoughts?

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Woah I'm the first person watching. I went into your channel, went into videos, and saw the season 9B update was the last and then this popped up, and it said "1 second ago, no views"

[@usermcskull4713]

Space Cookie I was the second

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Power of L Nice! I never really watch videos right when they come out, I'm usually doing something else, but I was just sitting on the couch and saw this pop up!

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Power of L I wouldnt have seen this for another few hours if I didn't get sick and come home early from school! Thanks sickness! 👍🏻

[@usermcskull4713]

Space Cookie GOD THANK BEING SICK

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Power of L Yeah

[@AquaTwist_]

The problem is that since Cable is on the brink of death within the next few decades, this would probably need to do this on a streaming service like Netflix.

[@extraspooky819]

Well one bit of classic cartoon network put on its big boy pants after a decade long hiatus and is currently going through its best season ever on Adult Swim ;)

[@SlipsSC]

Boomerang has actually released a paid subscription app where you could watch old cartoons, but it's mostly classic Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, along with some newer stuff, but that's not what you are looking for.

[@PikaPal225]

Release em on DVD Warner, bloody ell what's stopping you from doing so? You did Courage, so it wouldn't hurt for me to do the rest of Dexter, Johnny, Ed, Edd and all the others.

[@troin3925]

The visual style of the "city era," was very reminiscent of a Gorillaz music video. I wouldn't be surprised if it was by the same people.

[@hammadXP]

watchcartoononline.com Thank God I found this site, using it for more than a year. The only thing that it is missing is that you have to manually select episodes, it means they aren't played automatically or scheduled as on TV. But at least you find literally all cartoons that you love!

[@Dinosaurwith42heads]

You have good ideas but you gotta take into consideration the time we're living in now. We live in a post-smartphone/ internet boom. Meaning that everyone is slowly moving away from TV and just getting internet to satisfy their entertainment needs. Also the kids that grew up watching CN are now in their 20s and would rather go out and be with their friends than watch a bunch of cartoons on friday night. That's why Korra tanked in the ratings, Nick tried to broaden the Korra demographic by airing it on friday nights but failed because nobody was watching it. Then they said "Screw it, air it online." Also this generation of kids are all on their smartphones and are probably using Netflix, Hulu or maybe torrenting to get their fix. I've seen babies open their parents tablets for Gods sakes. Another thing is that people would rather have a full season right in front of them than wait a week for one episode of their favorite show. No offense but this is just a pipe dream, you have pure intentions and I like your ideas but it's not possible anymore. Like how cable wiped out Saturday morning cartoons, the internet will wipe out Tv, but that's just my 2 cents. I could be wrong.

[@YamiSpyroX]

I cringed when you said baby's using tablets. I hate those electronic devices!

[@Dinosaurwith42heads]

Ryan Ozog One time, I was at this sushi restaurant and I was sitting next to this baby. He kept staring at me and waved hi to him. I then wanted to see what would happen if I showed my phone to the baby. Sure enough, the babies eyes were glued to the phone, no matter where I swung it, the baby would follow. It kinda shocked me when I did that.

[@YamiSpyroX]

I have an even worse story. At a game store during a card game Draft, I saw a couple 5 to 7 year old girls watching a spooky shooter game video on a tablet. Later when they switched to playing with they're toys I heard them shouting "Die!" and "I'll kill you!" As if parents bringing they're kids to a place with heavy profanity using gamers wasn't shocking enough!

[@BMC294]

I have but one thing to say... A-MEN!

[@jeremyknight9980]

Ehh. as much as I loved the old shows and bumpers and all that. it's kinda pointless to air those on TV. Especially when you can watch all of those things on youtube or any other site that has those at anytime. I don't know. I don't have the same connection with TV as much as I used to... and it's not because of what they have on there these days. it's just... why ask for a network to give you a nostalgia trip, when there's always online? it's completely main stream at this point.

[@PenGelatinandDonutFan17]

0:56 They used to have a bunch of classic shows on Netflix, but were removed in March 2015, similar to what happened to SpongeBob and the other Nick shows in June 2013.

[@treyblowski]

if I had to guess the majority of old cartoon network shows were 22 minutes. there's not as much room for commercials, which is my theory for the switch over to an 11 minute format

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

Man... I don't always agree with your line of thinking, but I absolutely agree with this, honestly when I had cable I watched Nicktoons more than nickelodeon for this very same idea. Yeah, the network shoved out planet sheen Fanboy and Chum-chum and even (shivers) breadwinners, but that was a price worth paying for Avatar and Penguins and Cat Dog to be on the same channel that didn't have nothing but garbage sitcoms on it. I don't even necessarily think that you would have to run an adults angle to make this idea work beautifully, just have boomerang run a block based on different decades: 5-9 run newer shows from the parent network, 10-1 show cartoons from the 60s/70s, 2-6 show the classic cartoons from the 90s and 2000s, from 7-12 show classic toonami and then from midnight to 4 show classic adult swim. somewhere in there you could even have a cartoon cartoon style show on at primetime on friday showing the "best" of all the decades as voted by fans online. I'd start up my cable package in a heartbeat if they did something like this.

[@lukeoutset1959]

my goodness I grew up during the later city era and I still have a sampler disc from cartoon network summer

[@WestleyWolf]

CN needs to be competition with that splat block badly. Disney almost did this on their freeform (ABC Family) station for a while. you technically have older toonami bumpers airing right now due to its 10th anniversary. i bet CN will do something about this on their 25th anniversary.

[@ElectroGamer64]

I honestly can't see Turner putting much focus into the Boomerang network now that they're pushing the new Boomerang app.

[@geekgo4]

What is Turner doing with its other channels? Do you know?

[@sophiathekitteh]

CN Sayin ******Shudders*********

[@anirrelevantchild5516]

I remember being so mad when they took the original power puff girls off Netflix.☹
