I think back years ago during the summer between semesters at college when I would watch the Cartoon Network late at night. I'd sit back and watch Batman, Gargoyles, and a few others. Prior to this, and before my main college years, I'd also watch the classics like Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, etc.
Honestly, the concept was awesome. A channel that had nothing but cartoons. but now they have gotten rid of the very concept that they initially named and defined themselves over.
Given I haven;t been in the States for quite a while, and before then finished college, I haven't REALLY watched CN for five years. Maybe an odd show here or there like I think I saw Batman Beyond on it once. However, I haven't watched it for so long that it doesn;t chagne my viewing habits (which are basically nothing at this point).
Still though, let's be hoenst. If they are now going to the extreme that they will show non-cartoons on a regular basis, then the Cartoon Network is nothing more but a name. They are no different from the Nickelodon, and various other channels. And people anyone gets itno the 'well, they still show some cartoons', so what. It's the CARTOON network. Just like if a channel is called the SPORTS channel you don't get Ghostbusters or whatnot on it, or any number of those channels which play a specific music genre 24/7.
As some people have been saying, this has been going on for a while, so saying RIP CN now is a bit late. However, while late, it's still accurate in that the CN in definition is no more.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
