Cartoon Network: What the hell?

[jayvee1220]

i know i'm dating myself here but i only am aware of these cartoon because my son watches them. He loves Teen Titans Go (it's pretty funny), Gumball (again has it's moments) and Clarence. i will say i enjoyed the "Tants" episode of Regular show.

as far as AS, who no mention of Robot Chicken? that's an awesome show. 10 minute episodes? I'm in.

This theme brings back memories yall

Black Dynamite is probably the best thing on CN right now imo. Adventure time is good at times to me, Regular show is hit and miss with me, but I don't watch it regularly tho.

Y'all sleepin on Steven Universe, lil homie barely a teen surrounded by bad older ******* who fight for him.

Cartoon Network doesn't air these adult/outrageous shows, Adult Swim does.

I only found out they were two discrete network this year. I always assumed "Adult Swim" was just something CN called it's evening programming

Wait
Adult swim isnt just cn late night programming

 

[dat dude chris]

Adult Swim is the only reason I still watch Cartoon Network. Some of those Adult Swim commercials be random but funny af. They also play Alt music vids too. Found a cool song off there. Also the Flying Lotus, Madlib and J Dilla instrumentals they play

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Regular show >>>>

This + adventure time.




Forgot to add the new Teen Titans.

All THIS. Yeah Teen Titans is funny too.

I like what they're doing with the late, late AS. And don't forget VENTURE BROS.....

 

[sreggie101]

Hm. That's an interesting observation. For comparison, what cartoon(s) from years past do you feel did show the darker side of life?

First thing that popped in my head was courage the cowardly dog.

thats a deep question and i agree with this post. courage was pretty out there and pretty dark. def produces the scares. and not clean scares like scooby doo.

in fact i have to give credit and say courage was a very well made show. to make a show so creepy and odd, with solid atmosphere via the soundtrack, that is aimed at kids, isn't easy...or commonplace.


tom and jerry from the 40s was funny simple slapstick comedy, but it depicted the racial and sexist mindset of society at the time. we never really thought of it back when we were little. it was all fun and games. and it still is. but you can see the discriminatory undertones MUCH more clearly as an adult.


DC comics are more violent than the TV-Y7 counterparts. but back when we were younger, when tv was awesome, TV-Y7 went harder than what is acceptable today. and i can use ALL of toonami form the 90s to early 2000s. when they were importing all sorts of anime.


Dragonball, Z, GT

Outlaw Star. heavily edited.

Tenchi Muyo, Universe, Tokyo. hell yea this show was heavily edited.

Gundam Wing..endless waltz included. This was heavy with political undertones that went beyond most younger viewers.

08 MS Team (best gundam series imo).

on the american side you had the Original Batman. and then Batman Beyond.





thats all i got for now...

Ice King is a god damn pervert man

Son's goal in life is to see how many princesses he can rape

 

[Good Ol J.R]

Gumball criminally underrated. That boy can sang.

Arguably top 3 carton on there, top 10 all time in CN's history.

Cartoon Network-
Cowboy bebop

Gundam

[andretti]

And to keep it real I liked adult swim for the most part because of the bumps

The music they used to play was so

Found some of the music on YouTube if I was lucky

Nah it isn't. It is own discrete network now. I think it started out as just a nightly block but they expanded it.

Turner just owns both of them, so they share space on one channel.

Cartoon Network is most during the day, and Adult Swim from 8pm-6am

I feel you I get that a lot but sometimes I feel people just think OG is better.

Just looking back I don't think I can sit down and watch an episode of dexters lab or Ed etc with out being bored and not even laughing.

Powerpuff Girls Return to Cartoon Network: See the New Photos From the Reboot

Saving the world before bedtime! The Powerpuff Girls are back! Cartoon Network has rebooted the beloved animated series, following the adventures of schoolgirls Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup as they use their superpowers to fight crime.

The three sisters, borne of scientist father Professor Utonium and an experiment with Chemical X, are returning to the network for a new run of episodes set to debut in 2016. The new Powerpuff Girls will be voiced by Amanda Leighton as Blossom, Kristen Li as Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides as Buttercup.

The original series, which ran from 1996 to 2005, was created by Craig McCracken and won two Emmy awards over its 78-episode (and one movie) run. Tom Kenny, who voiced the Narrator/Mayor in the original series, will reprise his role for the reboot.

"It has been wonderful to see this new show team bring such passion and positive creative spirit to this iconic property," Cartoon Network Chief Content Officer Rob Sorcher said in a statement. "We know that fans of every age will appreciate this new take on saving the world before bedtime."

In addition to the new series, there will also be new toys, a series of books, costumes, and home entertainment releases.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Loved this show growing up.

The way he use to play zorak

Zorak used to scare the hell outta me. Then he got his own show and it was a wrap....

Haven't seen that show in 15 years.

Edit: I lied, it was Brak.....that dude was mental.
