I love how the major complaintis that all the old cn shows are online now. Like watching on your tablet is such an inconvenience.
Kids usually have more access to the TV than their parents phones or computers especially low-income household.
CN is just doing their job as a company and appealing to their targeted demographics: CHILDREN
Not only do my younger cousins like Teen titans go but ALL of their young friends adore the show, they draw the characters all the time, they go on the website to play TTG games, and some of them are old enough to use the interwebs now so they're writing cringy fanfictions and rps about them.
Looking back at some of the old cartoons I used to watch if I was an older generation I would probably cringe at those cartoons because they're not ye olde violence now all they care about is friendship and solving problems with talking. (Johnny Test)

TL;DR: Cartoon Network was good when we were young but we're not kids anymore so we don't fit their targeted demographic.

Of course, people's tastes change, so anyone with a brain can tell it's bullshit. And I'm willing to bet a lot of them grew up watching shit and turned out just fine.

Kids are impressionable. The older they get the more they realize how silly and embarrassing shows they watched were. I was once impressed by this:


Until I heard them say 4 continents and 7 oceans.

If this salt is bad, imagine if they cancel Stevens Universe and Adventure time. :evil:

I know Adventure Time's ending, I don't know what the deal with Steven Universe is.

Steven Universe will likely last another season or two off of licensing alone - there's an ungodly number of those Pop Vinyl figures of the characters, and every comic shop I frequent sells Steven's t-shirt in appropriately tumblriffic sizes (women's L and above). There's also a monthly comic, which is proving popular now there are multi-month gaps between new episodes of the actual TV show, the latest season of which started this May, and has had no new episodes since then.

As for Adventure time, that's ending early next year, after eight years on the air. About fucking time, really.

People still watch Cartoon Network? And get bitchy when they're too old to care about it? And blame it on CN rather than their non-evolving tastes and maturity?

I'm more surprised that people still watch television. Much less a network that caters towards children.
 
Every other TimeWarner channel follows the same formula of playing the same shit over an over again. TBS has Friends, truTV has Impractical Jokers, and CNN has Trump-Russia conspiracies.

Cartoon Network has been shit for over ten years now and the only recent show I like was Regular Show. Of course as said, the channel doesn't exist to appeal to our demographic. However, it did cross the line when they stopped airing classic Tom & Jerry shorts. It was sort of a staple you would have expected to always stay.
 
The only episode of TTG I've seen was where the green guy was a hoarder and liked a show about loving trash, to the point the "lesson" of the episode was to live in filth because it's actually treasure. The two kids I was watching with didn't really care, they just like the non-sequitur humor. Honestly, the show doesn't seem that different from Family Guy, just... kid oriented. IDK, sells more than Steven Universe.

On one hand, I'm really enjoying people flip their shit over an issue that can be resolved by a computer and the right website, but on the other hand, I can totally see where they're coming from. It'd be like if FX spent a whole week airing nothing but reruns of American Horror Story, with random breaks so they can air Fargo or The Americans. No other channel operates like this and it's mind-boggling.

TL;DR: Go use KimCartoon, spergs.

BBC America pretty much just show Star Trek: TNG (with the occasional DS9 episode now). Ran out of BBC material worth airing years ago.

I wonder why they never show repeats of "Jim'll Fix It" or "Top of the Pops" anymore. Both are such beloved programs and they have countless episodes. Certainly something I think many children would enjoy.
 
Steve Universe supposedly attracts the absolute lowest of advertiser sought demographics. Selling show merchandise makes way less cash than selling air time. I have a feeling it's just a loss leader for the network to fill out schedule time while attracting millennial viewers that average out to be in the lower 20% of disposable incomes
 
I like Teen Titans Go for the very same reason I like Donald Trump - it pisses whiny people off and they give absolutely no shits about it because they are #1
 
I don't watch Cartoon Network and I think all of their shows now are crap. But honestly, isn't showing one show all week a bit much? I don't know how kids work, but wouldn't that just make them bored of the show?

Also, regarding SU, I think I've heard talk of this being the last season? I don't know.

And just my opinion, but I've recently rewatched the old Teen Titans and I think most of it is pretty shit. I only really enjoyed the season finals, but the rest of the show was crap.

Netflix shows streaming is the way to go since its major competition is goddamn sleep. Cartoon Network's competition? Autism.
