A Rant About Cartoon Network

Ah the good old days. When men were men and a mallet in the head was hilarious. I never knew that Cartoon Network had only been around since '92. Being born in 1994 I just assumed that it had always been around. This article really makes me miss when shows were funny on CN like Dexter's Lab, Cow & Chicken, Tom and Jerry, and  Johnny Bravo. That was good programming. Nowadays Cartoon Network has the audacity to try and put live action shows in the line-up. I know that I'm the umptee-seventh person to talk about how cartoon network used to be good, but for real man what the heck. All there is on now is cookie cutter crap with the same exact plot in each show. What ever happened to experimental shows like Sheep in the Big City and Courage the Cowardly Dog? With my childhood slipping away day by day I can only take solace in the fact that CN still has Adult Swim (My favorite channel, if you can even call it that). Adult Swim has stayed strong with weird shows that appeal to a certain audience of awesome people since it's inception. If only Cartoon Network could have been as steadfast with their line up.


The author talks about the beginning of CN and give basically a behind the scenes look at what went on for this show to start. He shows pictures of a card box that was sent out to show the marketability of Cartoon Network. He isn't trying to say anything about the downfall of CN he gives the reader a little known story about something that we all know and love (Sort of).
