CN debuted in 92 and even if I'm wrong and it's 91, it was not 24/7 until 96 I believe. Yes Jap cartoons are making it hard for American cartoons but it's also the American cartoonists' faults as well. There is NO invisible wall keep us from making more actiony or pornographic cartoons. The FCC can't say anything and the government can't either. The thing is, cartoonist only work for companies that want kiddie shows. Seriously, do you think Americans are too stupid or afraid to do what the japs do? NO! It's all about money and kiddie equals money! Also MTV can easily state that they aren't all music anymore. It's not like the M has GOT to mean M, it's just how it started off in the beginning. I guess they figure they will lose music fans by saying so but guess what? Music fans aren't retarded! They can see that it is no longer MUSIC television. My ending words are Japn sucks, japanese cartoons suck, Cartoon Network sucks for squirell boy and live action. Uh… your first sentence is wrong.

You know what, nobody has anything good on TV these days. Every channel we know is all going down hill.(I'm talking about you too G4 Tech TV, now that you all added cops, and cheaters and star trek, I wanna see stuff about games, not crap-fest. If I did, I would go back to MTV, with their teenage sluts celebrating their sweet 16's.) Why don't we all do cable broadcasting a favor and stop watching TV forever. I mean what are we gonna miss, a cat fight on The real world, You know the cribs isn't even real, their just payed to do the whole hoax, it's not even their real houses, their bought houses, everything is MTV's stuff. It's just part of their whole studios. Now I coming for you Nickolodean. You and your sudden crappy shows, Like fairly oddparents, and the X's. AAAAHHHHH! I'm... so angry! Ah, forget it. This is too long anyways. I-I just don't understand why every channel sucks nower days.

Its because the jackass suits in charge of it all don't know a damn thing about music or animation. They come out of business school with MBA in hand schooled in the ways of reaching the bottom line without knowing the business. And whats more, they don't give a horses ass. They tank the organization, grab their payout and skidaddle, looking for another company to screw up. The only choice for major label music for consumers is limited to the big 5 music labels, who have gleefully swallowed the dozens of music labels that existed 15-20 years ago. This eliminates the competitiveness between the labels and brings in mediocrity. Same thing in animation, where there is no competition between the various networks to produce high quality cartoons. Just one cartoon network, and then Nickelodeon...both of which show a bunch of crap. I can only wonder what other arts will be swallowed up and controlled by this machine.

I miss the old days of dexter, cow & chicken, johnny bravo. ever since they dropped the "cartoon cartoons" type of shows it has gone down hill. who knows maybe they'll step it up an notch and improve quality over quantity. If CN wants to display a all anime channel do it separate *coughs* boomerang. I only hope that they can fix what they have done. P.S.

As if TV execs, are too ignorant to be innovative and just following a repeatedly failed recipe for running TV stations. All my favorite channels have suffered, MTV, Cartoon Necwork, Comedy Central, Spike, and now G4 have suffered from the TV Exec cram-old-crap bug. I don't know if they want to lose viewership, or they just don't know the pulse of their audiences. What will happen, what has happened, is that it's forced people to go elsewhere for their entertainment. Be it online/store rentals of DVD box sets, or P2P downloading of shows. Maybe that's what they want. But it may be time to draw a line in the sand, and give the old style of "Don't tell us what you want, we'll tell you what you want" style of American business the boot.

The really good anime is being shown on AZN. Though I agree they are ruining the channel with poor selections and lack of support for the brilliant shows. Everything is going the way of direct to DVD. Voltron and Thundercats are anime, by the way. The really good anime is being shown on AZN.

You probably have no idea what I'm talking about so I'll explain. The Australian version of Cartoon Network was launched in 1995, so what is being shown here appears to be three to four years difference from the USA. The logo remains the same here as it always was. Cartoon Cartoon Fridays has just been taken off the air about six weeks ago. Crappy Summer Fidays airs now every Friday night. I thought Cartoon Network was at its absolute worst when CCF was removed from the schedule, but from what I've read here and from a number of other sites I can see its only going to get worse as time goes on. hey,

Anime is mainstream enough up here as it is.... I love anime, but it's more enjoyable as sort of a "counter-culture." having it shoved down your throat just waters it down... The same can also be said about shows like Futurama, I love it, but it loses its effect after the hundredth time. Which is why my tube has gone unwatched lately....
