For The most part they do suck except for:Justice League,BatMan:The Animated Series,Superman:The Animated series.I think someone needs to go to cartoon network&clean house to speak,I don't mean vacume or cleaning the bathrooms,i mean restructre the whole channel,fire all the putts that think with their ass's,go back to their beging when they first aired back in 92.Orginal ly Boomerang was 2hrs,no commercials,& they would show 5-shows,they showed cool cartoons,had cool contest&other stuff.The fatal blow is when turner merged with Time Warner company!!The whole point of a 24hr cartoon channel is show cartoons,not just the hanna-barbera libbary,but other studio stuff,I know thats not easy with who owns rights to certain shows these days,but lets face it if they can show:Bullwinkle,Underdog,Speed Racer,crap they could of got other stuff:Kimba,spider-man 60's cartoon,krofft shows&more.

I don't watch much cartoons, but it seems like everytime I turn around, they're adding new shows. Jackie Chan, What's New Scooby Do? etc. As if they don't air enough Scooby?

LOL.

Thank god for Boomerang and the classics. Even though I'm not exactly a kid (or teen) it's still fun to watch the cartoons.

Cartoons kick major butt -- im cant believe boomerang stopped showing the hour long eps of superfriends right when i had a chance to record some!

cartoon network, boomerang -- more rotation is necessary. Both those channels want an adult fan base.

I can totally understand if they want their 5am- 8pm programming to be more geared towards younger viewers - and it should. Parents figure its a cartoon network, it must be for kids, so they'll plop them in front of it without a thought; so keeoing earlier hours for kiddos with lots of scooby and whatnot is cool, but man, dont forget the rest of us!

Aw, come on, you can never have too much Scooby!! The 'Scooby Universe' is my Saturday oasis! There could be hundreds of eps of Scooby made, it's never enough!!
I love Scooby!!
ESPECIALLY 'What's New, Scooby Doo?'

I keep telling you guys - Cartoon Network stinks!! Don't even bother with it (well, ok, Justice League is decent). Boomerang is the way to go. Yes, they could get some more variety, but at least they don't show the absolute gargabe that passes for cartoons today.

Hey, don't give up on it just yet, 'Scooby Universe is the ONLY good things about it today!! The original cartoons (with the exception of maybe 'Powerpuffs') suck! But SCOOBY WILL FOEVER BE COOL!!!!

I agree, Boomerang is so awesome! I watch it whenever I get that chance. I managed to get some episodes of "Mr. T" and now I wanted to get "Pac-Man," but I'm not sure if it's still on or not. I think Boomerang should have some more variety though. Maybe add some more 80's cartoons like "It's Punky Brewster!," "Turbo Teen," "Jem," and many others.

Cartoon Network could be better, I agree. But, I am watching it more now than a few months ago. Why?

Two airings of Pokemon episodes from the 1st two seasons at 7:30 & 8 Central.

Dexter's Lab at 6:30

ANd, of course, the occasional Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo (only the first season) and other shows (like old shows such as Wacky Races, Flintstones, Jetsons, etc.)

I also like Hamtaro.

I do wish they would bring back Sailor Moon, Superfriends, Superman and Batman.

Also, they need to watch out for ABC Family's "Tokyo Pig", which is giving them a good run for their money!

I wish they would add currently-unaired toons as well like Garfield, Sonic the Hedgehog (the good one, ABC), Inspector Gadget, Pac-Man, Super Mario and Captain N, etc.

I haven't watched Cartoon Network in a long time. Ever since they added new shows and expanded that "Cartoon Cartoon" block that is when I lost interest. They were beginning to shift the focus on new cartoons instead of the classics from the 70's, 80's, and early to mid 90's.

I just wish my cable company would get rid of Cartoon Network and replace it with ToonDisney or the Nicktoon Channel. Those are FAR better than the Cartoon Network.

I would loooove Toon Disney. It would be great to see DuckTales, Tale Spin, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, and many others again.
