Cable station no longer living up to its name, will get in to live-action reality shows, scripted programs.
Ben 10 going live action!

First MTV stops showing music videos, now this? Cartoon Network is sticking with the "Network" portion of its name, but ditching the strictly "Cartoon" bit, the company announced today. Nineteen new projects were announced, and less than half will be hand-drawn.

"These exciting new projects represent the next phase in Cartoon Network's ambitious, ongoing strategy to re-invent the network and re-energize our youth business overall," said Stuart Snyder.

These new non-cartoons will start airing in the coming 2009-2010 season and feature reality and scripted programs, most of which sound like pint-sized versions of programs currently airing on other networks.

Highlights: The Othersiders is a mini-Ghost Hunters, with five friends exploring scary places; Destroy Build Destroy is like Human Wrecking Balls, with two teams blowing stuff up; Dude, What Would Happen is a Mythbusters clone; Bobb'e Says takes the ridiculously funny child actor Bobb'e J. Thompson (Human Giant, Role Models) in his own take of America's Funniest Home Videos.

Also announced was a live-action Ben 10: Alien Force movie, a Scooby-Doo! prequel telefilm, and a full CG movie titled Firebreather!

Don't worry all you glassy-eyed college students--it doesn't look like the late-night Adult Swim block will be affected by any of this.

What next, the channel is called "The Network"?

I mean... more little kids watch "Adult Swim" shows then the ones on Cartoon Network, wouldn't you agree? Are there any good Cartoons left, (except for Canadian ones) at all. IS CGI the new Cartoon animation of the century? Enough of this Canadian made stuff, I wish to see some American made cartoons for crying out loud. I miss the good times of CN and many others.

For more go right here

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whats going on is that CN is trying to do content for both sides, which is why almost all of the channel's original people & animators have left is because of that. I'm not ageist "Adult Swim", but some the classic shows like "The Popeye Show" use to air on midnights and though out until the morning school starts. "Adult Swim" should by now have it own channel, like I hoping for Toonami as well. The only shows I watch are Family Guy, King of the Hill, Robot Chicken, Ghost in the Shell, Lupin the 3rd, Clerks, Tim & Eric, & The Venture Bros. I thought of course that "Adult Swim" lasts until their line-up of shows were done by no later then 2 or 3AM, right. So that the old-school shows would air. I miss the line-up shows that aired on Saturday Nights that started from 6PM - 2AM, which had Pokemon "old school" ,DBZ, *Hack/Signs, and many others that were awesome.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

all they now are just memories.

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

Dude, I love to enjoy watching Dexter's Lab and Johnny Bravo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

True Animation is no more and that's the truth

I was speaking idiomatically.

When was the last time a good cartoon came on before all this happen?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ya, the only thing is that these show are from Canada, and yet have better animation.

FELIPE NO

Ya, besides "Ned's Declassified", I never watch any of the other show on there. The Kids/sitcom aren't what they use to be. Most of them are about political humor & saving the rainforest, O my. I thought there was law that didn't have kid shows not to be used for any of the above, and to just keep them funny & entertaining, I'm right?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
