What happened to Cartoon Network?

 

    Back in my day, when I was young, we had a few tv stations Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and much more. While I have given up on Disney Channel, I still watch a few episodes on Nickelodeon...not a lot, one Network I have given up on (as well as others) is Cartoon Network

  Cartoon Network started around 1992 but didn't get its official start of the show was around 1997. Before then they would show repeats of Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Scooby Doo: Where are you, Flintstones and many other classic cartoons. 

 Around the mid 90's Cartoon Network had a show called "What a Cartoon" They would show small clips like "Dexter's Laboratory", "Johnny Bravo", "Powerpuff Girls" and other cartoon shorts. Some would not make the cut. One of them was created by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. Sadly, his did not get chosen, but because of this, Family was Born.

    

    By the end of the 90's and early 2000's, Cartoon Network was still pumping out new shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Samuri Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog and many more. When 2008 came around, there were other shows, but it seemed to make the station weak. I'm not saying Steven Universe or Fosters home, and Adventure Time had anything to do with Cartoon Network's fallout.

They called it CN Real and well; it was a real disaster. Some shows like Teen Titans, whatever happened to...Robot Jones and much more were trying to save Cartoon Network. They even changed their logo around. I stopped watching the station after Ed, Edd n Eddy left the show. It kept its repeats on 

   Cartoon Network also had Adult Swim that also went downhill when Cartoon Network was starting to fail in reaching audiences. Shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Birdman, Home Movies, Rick and Morty, Robot Chicken. If it weren't for those last two shows, Adult Swim wouldn't still be surviving now.

   It seems, as I get older, things start to change. I don't watch a lot of TV like I used to. I ended up just watching streaming sites or YouTube to make me happy. With everything changing, some networks try to stay strong to survive and it seems some stations...like Cartoon Network, are trying to kill what little they have left.

 Destroying shows is what they are now known for, and what they are giving us, is not worth the watch. Rebooting Thundercats, but making it look NOTHING like the 80's cartoon as well as trying to reboot Powerpuff Girls by replacing the main voice actors with teenagers that can't act. Nickelodeon is starting to do that now with Rugrats. Changing the adult voice actors (mostly some of the original actors are dead)

  Even some good shows from Cartoon Network get updated and get worse. Instead of Teen Titans, we had Teen Titans Go! which was horrible to any viewer as well as destroying the reputation of the original creation. 

  Some people were not pleased, and now with it passing 30 years, Cartoon Network is starting to show its end.

   Unlike Nickelodeon and Disney, they are still alive within their streaming sites, but it seems Cartoon Network only has HBO Max to keep them alive. However, HBO Max is getting rid of some of their shows. 

  Saying goodbye to a network is not so bad. Some things are meant to end. Tv shows and stations being one of them as if some stations just have given up. Nickelodeon also changed their logo as well as Disney. But now...it seems, Cartoon Network's time is ending.
