Goodbye Toonami, 1997-2008

Toonami was shit, all anime is shit, this is CN's best decision. Tom burns in robot Hell.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

<- liked Jackie Chan Adventures. Stereotypically racist & abusive old men are my favorite kind of old men.

CN's been producing SOME good new shows, at least. Flapjack is pretty sweet.

Be for real, though, Crash, looking at the past through rose tinted glasses everything seems better. Thundercats and He-Man only seem cool because we were kids but anybody with a sense of taste (adults) wouldn't watch it Clockwork Orange-rigged.

Ben 10 is a better show than the average Saturday lineup from 10-20 years ago, and cool shows like Animaniacs and Freakazoid! only existed because Steven Spielberg had an interest in animation and was looking for a quality reminiscent of 30s-50s era Warner Brothers.

I mean, a lot of new cartoons are really shitty, but besides stuff that is objectively bad (Robot Boy, Beyblade) have you ever thought that a lot of this shit is terrible because the intended audience is children?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No not really, because they were great and survived well into their run.

What really gets me is that nobody wants to care to mention Johnny Test, which is a show produced by a network that rips off another intellectual property of the network only with reversed gender roles.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Children's programming blocks also produced some crazy wacked out hella good. Sesame Street especially. e.g.,:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I like Camp Lazlo.

Early on they kept running the same episodes, though, so it felt more like CN made it outstay its welcome.
