I swear I OMG'ed 30 times when Justice League came on and Teen Titans. Also the old school Looney Toons comes on in the afternoon.

I think Ted Turner got those threatening letters I sent him

jk...

DARKTALBAIN · « **Reply #1 on:** November 23, 2009, 12:37:06 AM »

I sent letter when they initially were canceling justice league

This is all great & that. But it doesn't change the fact that there aren't any new episodes of JLU going to be made

JDubbs · « **Reply #2 on:** November 23, 2009, 02:24:00 AM »

we're never going to have those episodes of justice league again. ancient history sadly. I miss Clancy Brown's Lex Luthor

Tundra · « **Reply #3 on:** November 23, 2009, 01:37:18 PM »

I hope they do something. I also plan to win that car they giving away when the Ben 10 movie shows.

Actually Ted Turner has nothing to do with Cartoon Network now. WB bought them years ago. Thats how JLU, Titans, and Looney Toons came to CN.

Clancy Brown will probably play Lex again. If you watch the bonus features on Public Enemies, the staff loves the voices from JLU, and will probably use him again. They are used to being harassed by fans at every Con they attend so I wouldnt be suprised if the JLU-verse gets some direct to DVD movies in the future.

A TV show is unlikely, it's a lot of stress on people who have worked together for 20 years. The animated movies give a lot of break time to get away from each other. But Dini, and Timm have been doing Brave, and the Bold Episodes, so it's only a matter of time b4 Kevin Conroy collaborates again in the Universe they built.

I can watch that anytime. I got both seasons.

JDubbs · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2009, 03:57:42 PM »

well thats good they'll have some direct to vids. I absolutely love those actors mainly Clancy and CCH Pounder.

In regrads to CN (it cant even be called cartoon network anymore) they really need to either get non stupid shows or bring back the old shows that people know and love and make more episodes. Idk about everyone else, but im sick of turning to that channel hoping to watch some decent cartoons only to get a show about some purple monster looking thing trying to learn how to cook or some retarded kid looking for a "candied island", or worse a cartoon "reality show"

Why the eff is Andrew WK on tv anyway?

Alexziq · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2009, 04:29:18 PM »

Chowder is pretty trippy when you give it a chance. Besides CN has always had stupid shows like Johnny Bravo, Power Puff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, 2 Stupid Dogs, Ed, Ed, and Eddie, Cow & Chicken, ect. They just don't have a toonami type of show is whats missing.

Personally I loved it when they were like Boomerang, and Space Ghost was on every Friday at 11:30, and Cartoon Planet was on every night at 11pm. I still have both Soundtraks

Probably because he just did a cover album of Japanimation TV themes, many of which were featured on Adult Swim, plus a lot of the guys at Williams Street that help run CN are friends with a lot of artists in the subculture.

2 Stupid Dogs rocked. My mom loves that show. She's a effing Disney fan. She loves Phineas and Ferb.

BA$ · « **Reply #11 on:** November 23, 2009, 08:53:24 PM »

They probably have those shows to get more people watching CN... wait did you say JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED? At least I kinda watched the show until the end where either Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown from stuff and Highlander) dies or something and including Darkside (voiced by Sam Fisher).

With good reason. Phineas and Ferb is the best thing to come out of Disney in a long time and funny as hell.

I disagree with the teen titans part. but yes the live action thing and that one cartoon reality show and chowder/flapjack/ben ten need to go

Yung Kratos · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:36:41 PM »

I actually like flapjack, johnny test is basically dexters lab with dede as the main char (the youngest kid is blonde and dumb while the twins are older and the super geniuses) not diggin the tween drama shows reality shows etc. there pretty much sucking anymore and not doing anything creative but hey thats the way things are getting done these days

what Purple Monster looking thing are you talking about?

If you are speaking of " Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends " I like that cartoon.

I've always hated that Teen Titans cartoon. I agree they should get rid of that. Show Superman or Batman the animated series instead. Or even those Challenge of the Superfriends episodes vs the legion of Doom

oh no not that foster one, even though i dont like that one either. i think its called "chowder" or something like that. its so stupid

Megabyte · « **Reply #19 on:** November 25, 2009, 01:32:45 PM »

Well, I personally like Ben 10...I think Alien Force was a big move toward older audiences. Chowder is hella funny (and so is Flapjack, though I like Chowder better) if you just give them a chance. I think what's happening is that some of us are now trying to hard when we watch these shows. When I watch cartoons in general, I just watch them. Yes, I actually PAY ATTENTION to what is happening, but I don't take them seriously...that's what they are for. Now I do agree with the reality shows being retarded on CN...but I did like Total Drama Island, though Total Drama Action is kinda blah...Stoked is/was ok, but meh I digress on that one. It's kinda weird though that CN lately has been getting a LOT of shows outta Canada...in fact I think even Nick has been getting quite few shows from Canada as well as Disney. But I guess I enjoy them as they are something different.

On a side note, IMO Power Puff Girls was not a 'stupid' show...at least not to be grouped with shows like Two Stupid Dogs and Ed, Edd, and Eddy (I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE Eddy in that show...though I guess I kinda felt sorry for him in that last movie they aired recently).

Epicsmith93 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 25, 2009, 01:46:37 PM »

Personally, i think flapjack is pretty funny, and Johnny Bravo, Teen Titans, and Ed Edd & Eddy need to stay on more. Ben Ten the first season, (not alien force) was some what funny as well. The only reason i actually somewhat still like that show is because the dude who voices the grand pa voice the kernel in Metal Gear Solid. What they also need to bring back is Toonami. That (somewhat) of a show kicked so much @$$!!! I loved to watch DBZ and Ronin Warriors at 5pm everyday

. The only shows i think they should really boot is Total drama action, and all the shows with live action. The channels name is Cartoon Network, not Live Action Kids Network! Thats like Comedy Central airing Philadelphia

. Thats what i think anyway.

DARKTALBAIN · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2009, 05:04:52 PM »

I hate Johnny Bravo, too. I dated this girl for a short time & her son used to watch it. I couldn't stand that show.

My Niece used to watch power puff girls & I liked that show. Therewas one episode where they all became other superheroes. The one was like Captain America, the other one I forget, But the girl with the black hair was like Spawn. She wouldn't do anything but " lurk " in the shadows. It was hilarious....

Kid Chyllen™♪ · « **Reply #22 on:** November 26, 2009, 12:12:01 PM »

@ Cartoon Network being lazy and changing their name to CN .... smh

All I need is new episodes of The Powerpuff Girls

And new episodes of Dexters Labratory.

Come On Cartoon Network .

I prefer old-school Cartoon Network stuff----the days when Toonami was still around, etc. I noticed that a lot of the old "Cartoon Cartoons"---Camp Lazlow, Codename Kids Next Door, and a few others I can't remember---don't even air on Boomerang anymore. As far as the live action crud goes, they should drop every live-action show on the channel; Total Drama Action, 6Teen and Stoked should get canceled as well. Bring back Outlaw Star and the Big O to weekday afternoons! For that matter, bring back some of the really old shows, like Skeleton Warriors and Wild C.A.T.S.!

I would like to see those terrible Wild C.A.T.S. episodes again. Iy was so long since I seen them, I forget how bad they are....

I discovered Ourlaw Star because of Cartoon Network & I went out & get the DVDS, but......
They showed all the Outlaw Star episodes on CN ( besides the ones they skipped due to nudity ) OS was a short series.
