Time To Put Cartoon Network In Its Place.

Tue Jun 23, 2009, 3:36 PM
  • Mood: Disgust
  • Listening to: Working on my stuff instead.
  • Reading: An old Archie book I'm using for reference.
  • Watching: Forever working on TFA fanart.:(
  • Playing: Will play Gaia and Neopets soon.
  • Eating: Dunno.
  • Drinking: Maybe salt-free vegetable juice?
I am surprised and dismayed by the tween-style live-action shows piling up in what is SUPPOSED to be a cartoon channel.:roll:

So I am writing a letter and it goes something like this:

What part of the word "cartoon" don't you understand?

Really, I am very ashamed of you for not holding up to the channel's original purpose as a permanent house for all animated cartoons. What happened?

Of course, of course, there's nothing at all wrong with creating still another channel for the human infants, but that still says something about the general public's attitude toward animation, which would never have been invented without the very creation of filmmaking.

So to stop all that confusion when you start putting in live-action children's programs, why not start calling yourself "Children's Network"? Or better yet, "BN" - or "Brat Network", for short?

Good luck with destroying what's left of our great legacy that is animation.

Signed, cartoon lover who's not a kid at all.


I know, I'm being a bit anal, but what if the so-called CN starts spawning carefully groomed little tartlets like Miley Cyrus or even worse, Britney Spears???:no:

If you don't like it, either, here are two addresses for CN (got them off a friend who used to work on Powerpuff Girls comic books; they could have changed by now, so perhaps try going to "Contact Us" on the CN website, just in case?)

Cartoon Network Studios
300 North 3rd Street
Burbank, CA 91502

and,

Cartoon Network
1050 Techwood Drive
Atlanta, GA 30318

Okay...I'm still working on fanart and of course, your commissions. But inking is very hard work, where it's pretty easy to make mistakes.^^; So I'm doing the best I can. And once again, I still want volunteers to color my Powerpuff Girls fancomics that I am inking right now, thanks.:)

Gotta go now; going to collect reference from Internet for my work, of course.:aww:

I agree completely as I haven't watched CN in years. Friday and Saturday nights were something I gleefully anticipated...but not any more :cry:

I'm not surprised. Live action shows are way cheaper than cartoons. As for the word "Cartoon" being in the name of the network... tell it to Mtv. :roll:

You tell 'em like it is, girl :D

I agree with you. "Cartoon" is right in the name! What happened, CN?

I look forward to hearing if your letter gets a reply.

I agree too. What they should have done like make a new seson of TFA. The ending kind of left a lot of stuff hanging.

Blame High School Musical and Hannah Montana for kicking CN's ass and forcing them to do live action

i agree wholeheartedly with your letter, it's a damn shame what is happening to Cartoon Network. they should have never changed their format. i've been watching cartoons for years and had hoped to continue watching them on Cartoon Network, but it sounds like they really don't care anymore. i still watch Cartoon Network for their late night programming. keep animation alive, dammit!

Actually, I find that letter to be a bit childish myself, but hey. It might be a language they understand. But I will be writing them something.

I hate it that there are live-action shows on CN.

And besides, I get my cartoon fix on YouTube anyways.
