...with Carton Network. It is HORRIBLE these days!! Even when they started getting rid of the good '60's and '70's shows, they came out with some good ones like Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and The Powerpuff Girls. But now, I think ALL of the network is bad, and "Adult Swim" just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Cartoon Network is evoloving into a pure Anime and Adult Show channel.

You don't like Yu Yu Hakusho?

Hollow · 08-19-2003, 06:08 PM

space ghost is the bomb. so is cow and chicken.

Chad22 · 08-19-2003, 06:22 PM

I Only watch that for Johney Bravy, Dexters Lab, Family Guy and Futurama. I Never liked Anime.

Lady T · 08-19-2003, 06:24 PM

I love Johnny Bravo, what a hunk

Central Perk · 08-19-2003, 06:47 PM

The only shows I watch on CN are Futurama and Family Guy.

pandora_spocks · 08-19-2003, 06:58 PM

The only thing I occasionally watch on Cartoon Network is Scooby Doo I prefer NickToons.

PZelda · 08-19-2003, 07:09 PM

I hardly watch TV anymore. Reality shows and commercials have invaded TV - the only time I watch TV is for "Mama's Family" and other Vicki Lawrence appearances. That's about it. Oh, but I DO watch movies, too..

I pretty much never watch cartoon network. Ed, Edd and Eddy is cool,though. My friends are obsessed with it so that's why I saw it.

Yeah, I agree! I don't much care for what they show on Cartoon Network nowadays. I wish my new cable company carried Boomerang! They played all those great oldies like The Herculoids, Dino Boy, and Jonny Quest(the classic ones, not the remake)! And from what I remember when we had that station; No commercials! Just station identification every once in awhile. I loved that channel!

The Obsolete Man · 08-20-2003, 03:42 AM

Cartoon Network has pulled a Nick at Nite. They've transferred all their old classics over to a new upstart network, and started airing newer, not quite as good (Adult Swim not excluded) shows on the parent network.

I, Too, wish that my cable company had boomerang.

*ShortCake* · 08-20-2003, 08:58 AM

I like the boomerang channel better... I wish they would play more Scooby Doo! I saw one of the new scooby doo episodes though and it sucked!

ConservativeBalla · 08-20-2003, 05:14 PM

Well yeah, I loved that era Cartoon Network had with Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, The Powerpuff Girls, and Dexter's Laboratory; (Am I missing any? Does Courage count?) but they're not shown as much as they used to, are they? I like all the classic cartoons they've got in the morning now, and they show the afformentioned shows in the morning on Friday (Right?) but it just doesn't seem like Cartoon Network anymore...

ClassicTV4Ever · 08-20-2003, 06:28 PM

Thank God for Boomerang is all I have to say! The only gripe I have about Boomerang is that since they commercials are cut, the shows end at very odd times which makes it very difficult for recording.

ConservativeBalla · 08-21-2003, 08:21 AM

Where can I look at Boomerang's lineup? Or, a list of shows they play.
