Ditto.  The people who made Chowder were definitly on LSD or something.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey i like chowder, out of the new shows it beats them all...so far....i hate class of 3000.

Nyway CN is still the most watchable, with all the teenage crap Nick and Disney dish out every year, it still appeals to veteran toon viewers who just want to watch something that isnt about some whiny teenage girl who learns obvious lessons.

true dat. Except if disney would actually do a decent job at dubbing digimon so it didn't become crap when they dub it it would become the GOD of disney.

Because Cartoon Network is a network that targets children. They show live action kid's movies occasionally.

children AND cartoon veterans. as u can see certain shows may have sexual innuendos :P

Oh that reminds me of a show I used to watch as a kid called shadow raiders. I first watched it when I was like 8 or 9. They recently started airing reruns on ytv in Canada at 11:00pm and in episodes there was so much innuendo That I find myself questioning how it ever aired on TV at 8:00pm.

Rewikitty

Oh Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.  There were a few years in there where the shows were downright smart.  Funny, multi-layered...  who here doesn't have a multi-DVD collection of Invader Zim?  And I for one was introduced to anime by the (admittedly awful) English dub of Dragonball Z on Toonami.  Man, I miss those shows.

There are a few gems here or there, but for the most part they're either pale imitations or simply empty shadows of what once was.

Disney Channel has always sucked, though :P

toonami used to be the best thing in the world. do they even have it anymore?
yah, except it's like all shit now.
what the hell is that "baykugan" anime even about

Bakugan is yet another anime show based on a children's card game that's soley made in order to get kids to buy the game.

I used to love watching cartoon network, but they keep taking off all the shows i like and replacing them with junk. I miss looking forward to watching toonami every day as there would always be a show worth watching. Now, Its a rarity i even turn to that channel outside adult swim anymore.

packrat

Actually, Bakugan isn't on toonami.  It's on "Dynamite Action Squad!" ( *rant- %*#^#%^#*#!!!), which should be taken off due to the stupid antics of the little kids in between shows.  The only things i watch on there now (aside from toonami and whatever anime makes it to adult swim.) are Teen Titans and Ben10 Alien Force.

I live in Britain, and only got all the kids channels 16 months ago.

They are full of SHIT.

I grew up on the basic four channels, and they had awesome programmes! Thundercats, Wizard Of Oz (animated version), Bananas In Pajamas, even the old Barney The Dinosaur episodes! They were proper classics, not this BULLSHIT they pump into kids' heads now.

ESPECIALLY High School Musical. I WANT TO KILL DISNEY FOR THAT ABOMINATION.

That is all :D

The title itself was an abomination before it was even produced hey bananas in pajamas i remember that i even remmeber the song ahem,,,

bananas in pajamas are dananana stairs
bananas in pajamas are dananana airs
bananas in pajamas are chasing teddy bears
dandnandnblablablablabla underwears...

yup thats the theme song and im the only one who remembers it.

Well i'm sorry to bump this thread but after having watched a ton of Ben 10 and Ben 10: Alien Force I would say that those shows are perfectly fine entertainment and a serious redeeming factor.

Toonami was better when Moltar was around. He didn't take any shit from anyone, man.

Except for Johnny Quest, I liked what was on it. Especially Reboot, they had it on there for a stint. That show is made of awesome and win.

Nowadays, yes, the programming on it has gone down, but we're a totally different generation. Our innuendos in cartoons are to us as censorship and PC is to kids today. So, unfortunately, since everyone has become paranoid...

God forbid we see some kid watch gore and blood, no, but Tom and Jerry is perfectly fine. And they come very close to killing the crap out of each other!

Chowder is one of the redeeming shows for me; it has that surreal edge to it that reminds me of some 60's or 70's cartoons. Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends is awesome, as is Fairly Oddparents. They have a second 'Nick' on satellite in the US that shows older Nick shows like KaBLAM!, Zim, Ren and Stimpy, and the like. I usually tune into that or watch some Pink Panther/Underdog on Boomerang.
