i cant believe the cartoon network i once known and loved has come to this! TT_TT i used to watch it all the time in like the 5th grade before they put all the new crap on
That is so ridiculous. It really bothered me when I saw the first live action movie promoted on "Cartoon" Network. It just didn't make sense. At some point I just stopped watching that channel.
But, it's still disappointing to see that they're continuing with their live action plans. I wonder if they're really gaining anything from the switch.
I really miss the old Cartoon Network that got me hooked on anime. I hate how they've been spitting out live action things lately. I remember some 6 or 7 years ago I asked the guys why they like Cartoon Network so much and they told me "because it has cartoons on all the time". This makes me sad
I really have to wonder why CN would want to keep up with the live-action move knowing that 'Out of Jimmy's Head' wasn't even that good (well, in my opinion at least... no one puts canned laughter in a non-4th wall comedy). My guess is that they're just trying to compete with Nickelodeon and Disney with successful live-action shows on those two networks. They're called Cartoon Network for a reason... not 'Network That Creates Not-So-Great Live-Action Shows'.
As most people, I do miss to days of just (good) animated shows... wow, I feel so old... ;__;
This is why I don't watch Cartoon Network much. They took out the things that worked and replaced it with crap to gain watchers. I mean, c'mon! Play some of the older anime and cartoons they've played on there (they were great) and they will have watchers en masse.
Odd, me and my classmate had this conversation last Friday about how Cartoon Network just isn't the Cartoon Network that we used to grow up with. I think the loss of the classic Hanna-Barbera, MGM, and Warner Bros. cartoons in their lineup was one reason for what we see as a "downhill" turn for the network. Not to mention several new shows that really paled in comparison to what we watched when we were kids.
Either that or we're just running out of ideas for our cartoons these days.

I wish it was still like the old days where they were showing Looney Tunes and every other old cartoon. None of this new crap. They completely ruined it. I won't rant on how much this angers me, but I will say for most people that if they're going to name a network as such then STICK TO IT!!! JEEZE!!
Oh, noes~ Some of the recently new shows are fun to watch, like Chowder and Flap Jack((Forgot the title atm...^^;))~ But, most of them are really not my taste, I miss the old Cartoon Network...
Now I watch their Boomerang channel, love watching the episodes of PPG, Dexter's Labratory, and Johnny Bravo~~ ♥

u know, i used to love cartoon network, it was like the only thing i watched, but now it's just getting ridiculous. nobody liked "out of jimmy's head" and some of the new cartoons even suck (like what was it...i can't even remember the names!).
damn do i miss the grim adventures of billy and mandy, ed edd and eddy, megas xlr (definitely megas!! omg, even if u rank it with anime it was an amazing show!!), foster's home for imaginary friends, code name kids next door (i feel like a nerd...) lol
i even remember johnny bravo...those were the days! lol
I think Cartoon Network needs to change its name to show viewers that it is now about more than just animated programs, because it doesn't make sense for the network to still be called "Cartoon Network" when it doesn't just show animated shows anymore.

The shows on cartoon network suck as it is (excluding chowder and flapjack). I miss Looney Tunes and the good stuff. *goes to watch Nickelodeon*
