No knock on his "good friend" Jeff Bewkes -- or on Superman -- but Ted Turner wishes that he were running Time Warner so that he could make some changes at Cartoon Network and CNN, the cable news channel he founded 29 years ago.

.....

As for Cartoon Network, Turner tells anchor Betty Liu, "If I had control of it, I'd put 'Captain Planet' on at a top time period so that kids would see the environmental superhero instead of just Superman."

Well he was the one who made the mistake of selling it all to TW.

He should!

Maybe by then, he could put in Looney Tunes, H-B Cartoons that aren't shown on Boomerang, and maybe he can launch the Cartoon Cartoons Network and Adult Swim Network.

Then...other stations may follow suit.
