Cartoon Network Today: Thoughts.
Most of us know how bad Cartoon Network USA is right now.
We aren't alone, either.
If you haven't been paying attention, what was once a channel intended for cartoons is now airing SIX live action shows, as well as live action movies such as Son of the Mask and Nacho Libre.
These six shows are The Othersiders, Survive This, Dude, What would happen?, Bobb'e Says, Brainrush, and Destory Build Destroy.
Other countries have their share of live action shows too. The French Cartoon Network airs What I like about you and the Spanish Cartoon Network airs Fresh Prince, for example.
I dislike most of their currently-running shows, only liking TDI/A, Stoked, and 6teen. But as much as I dislike Chowder, i'd rather have it air 25 times a day than have any live action on CN.
These live action shows have been doing miserably in the ratings, and they're trying to glorify it by comparing the ratings for the shows to ratings from a year ago.. that were for Chop Socky Chooks and George of the Jungle.
The worst part is that they're not done. Some MORE live action has been ordered, one of them being an hour-long episode drama series called "Prepped". Leave that junk for channels like The N. Second seasons of Brainrush and DBD were also ordered.
Survive This got renewed as well, but that's a Canadian production on YTV, so one can hope CN will not even touch it.
They're balancing on the scale between "SUCK" and "IMPROVING" at this point. For example, they aired a PPG marathon on the 17th. Then a few days later... more live action plague.
