Cartoon Network to become "Network"

[Fresh Prince]

Who? Slamball actually entertaining but why CN carrying it?

 

[BlackLantern]

probably because it was cheap to buy the rights

 

[Fresh Prince]

Lol well Slamball is a cheap NBA knockoff. I can see them doing one like that for football. Oh wait they do its called the AFL lol.

I heard that the announcers even say "Slamball on Versus Network". CN is not even trying to mask the fact that they acquired this from another network.

i really hope the "cn real" block burns in hell. I've heard its on that path because the ratings have been pretty low. So it should go the same way other la programs on cn which is cancelled.


Really hope cn real dies soon though.

qft

I only watch Nicktoons Network now. That is the only channel that shows cartoons constantly nowadays.

yea but isnt it just show Spongebob 24/7?

 

[terry78]

The regular Nick channel does, this one rarely shows Spongebob.

 

[Kane52630]

yea but they show the latest nick cartoon shows not the old ones like Doug or Rugrats
which pissed me off when i got the extra channels this year

 

[BlackLantern]

well Doug was sold to Disney years ago so they wouldn't have that anyway

They show Rugrats Saturday and Sunday mornings.

I'm pretty sure they still have the rights to the Billy West Doug episodes. They played the Christmas episode last year.

 

[terry78]

I confess I did watch that Destroy Build Destroy show last night for about five minutes.

 

[Kane52630]

They show Rugrats Saturday and Sunday mornings.

it on @ 5 in the morning

 

[BlackLantern]

it on @ 5 in the morning

and...its on, you want to watch it that bad?? get up early

 

[Etienne]

it on @ 5 in the morning

Exactly. What a way for Nickelodeon to pay respect to one of the main shows that put them on the map.

 

[Kane52630]

and...its on, you want to watch it that bad?? get up early

you guys are missing the point, they rarely show shows from the 90's
i mean i also have Nick 2 and all it is, is just the shows they already show in the original Nick
its basically a waste of a channel if you ask me

Nick 2 is just the west coast feed....and what point am I missing?? Nickelodeons demographic isn't anyone over 14...they show what their viewers watch...disney does the same...Rugrats is on, its just not convenient for you...sorry

 

[Etienne]

Nicktoons Network had a great lineup not too long ago with an hour of Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, and (if I recall) Doug every weekday.

Now it's filled with Spongebob, and Danny Phantom. Looking at the schedule for today Danny Phantom is on from noon till six.

 

[BlackLantern]

They always block their stuff from 11-5 or 12-6...they did that with Avatar a couple days last week, Disney XD does it with X-men evolution alot

 

[Kane52630]

the only thing that is left that i can watch without waking up really early is the boomarang line up, they have Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, 2 stupid dogs, and powerpuff girls

 

[BlackLantern]

ok...cool...but again, YOU are not their demographic...

 

[Kane52630]

ok im sorry producer of nick

 

[BlackLantern]

its not me, its the business of TV...its become so niche and so specialized now that channels like CN and Nick have to focus on whoever the target demo is...if people outside of that still watch, great, but don't expect them to cater to fringe viewers...it doesn't work that way

I don't think Kane does...I don't think anyone does.

A network that was created specifically to showcase cartoons all day everyday is starting to air reality shows. It's asinine, not because I or others think they should cater to us but because the whole purpose of the network is to show cartoons 24/7. If I go to Pizza Hut I expect to be served Pizza not sushi.

The same goes for Nicktoons Network which was created as Nickolodeon's version of Boomerang. It was made to air 90's Nick cartoons. So when I turn on Nicktoons Network that's what should be on classic Nick cartoons.
