Old Cartoon Network Advertisement..

[MetalheadGautham]

what cheepos still discussing cartoon network...
weather DBZ or Ben10, today's CN sucks to the core. It used to suck before too, but not as much as today.

2 years back, I got sick of the TV and shifted to the Computer as my primary source of entertainment.

[Ethan_Hunt]

Finally.Oh freaking finally a topic on Cartoon Network.Good that we brought this up.

Well here are my thoughts to the "new" avatar of CN.
a.)It's crappy
b.)it's more crappy
c.)It's crappier.

Heck the network which once used to be an ace for airing all quality cartoon content has now been messed up with rubbish cartoons & like most of you rightly mentioned Ads.Another point being that it has turned into Hindi transmission on our side & due to this I miss the good ol english dialogues from those old toons like Dexter & Swat Kats & now have to put up with lame-ass dubings.I know with Dist TV & TATA Sky you have the option to select your language but those with local cable don't which makes it painful enough for us.Anyways that's the least of my concerns.I used to watch Cartoon Network like hell when I was in my teenage.

My all time Favourites was all the Power Zone toons & all those classic toons like Atom Ant,Johny Bravo,Perils Of Penelope Pitstop,Wacky Races,Mutley,The real Adventures of Johny Quest,Classic Johny Quest,Top Cat & lots more which I can't remember right now.This channel used to be an epic in terms of quality cartoons back in 90's.I found only one reason to watch CN now which was DBZ but they screwed the episodes for that too.Although I got the whole series later on but that nailed the coffin for the very reason of me watching CN.

I have now started to get all those classic episodes.Got most of my Batman of the Future,Superman The Animated Seires,Swat Kats all season,Dexter's Lab Season 1 & some more eps of The real Adventures of Johny Quest,Johny bravo & All season of Looney Tunes.But dam I still have a lot more to go.I hope cartoon network comes back to it's older charm else it would face heavy TRP losses out here.

One of Hanna or Barbera passed away last year I suppose ? Since then CN is detereorating.

ya maybe ..but i think its not going well since 5yrs.i mean if u compare CN of 1990s and 2004-2008

+++
The advertisements---
Just pure money,what do kids have to do with ads of diapers,sanitary pads ,etc..these should be shown on family channels..i think India has soooooo many animators that CN can have own cartoon ads--a little more creative than converting cricketers/actors into toons.

[naveen_reloaded]

one good thing about new CN is they have started theese nice titles like birbal,hanuman... things like that....
its really to niceto see desi style cartoons... but they are no close to those old days cartoons...

its seems many are frusrtated..

the reason why they aresurvivng:

1.) kids wont know wht they seeing or say mind watching ads...
2.)kids cant complaint about too much ads in the channel..
3.)kids will go to greater extend to see tv ( whether its CN or other channel)
4.)CN things indian viewers wont object to anything and they can show many NONSENSE/CRAP/DUM8 SH!T toons...


i used to love TNT after 9... those were golden days..

today .. we all better start scapping the entire CN from india.. best for all ages especially childrens...

[mediator]

tomcat?

i guess you meant TopCat (one of fav.), after FlintStones.

Yea m getting old!

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

I totally agree. ahhh.. the good old days! Ninja Robots was such an awesome show! Anyone remember?

Man i was crazy bout ninja Robots .

I think Ninja Robots n Speed Racer were aired back-2-back . used to watch em both . I think i was in 2nd Grade(10 years ago exact) when Ninja Robots Finale was aired .

[Ecko]

Thos chinese puppets !@$$%%
I hate them
used to view Popye & Tome 7 Jerry Also Scooby Do
Those chinese dont even know where to put nose & how to size eyes
Suck888ing hairstyles not to mention

[Voldy]

CN is full of s#$t right now and forgot his real colour right now what htat channel aired cartoons like bob the builder and so on i dont remember how many craps he aired since adapted acc. to indian colours
Iam really miss Swat cats(loved the most), Dexter labs., he-man,Batman,One piece.
Now what CN is aired in place of these amazing cartoons craps like akbar birbal,Ben 10 and how many others ..

[infra_red_dude]

I agree. If there is something I hate on TV it has to be those "oriental" cartoons! bloody... I dunno how can anyone like that POS!

There were dayz when I used to watch The centurions, swat katz, popeye show, whacky racers etc. Now I only see Tom and Jerry sometimes. Even that crap Tom and jerry kids is pathetic!

CN is going to dogs...

[Quiz_Master]

Ahh,.. Our cablewalla (Mine & Vicky333's.. we r neighbours...naa) stopped airing CN last year... so I have to just d/l episodes... I used to watch CN all day....

My fev shows were :
DragonballZ, Centurians (Never missed a single episode), Ninja Robots,Transformers StarWars Clone Wars (mini series) Space Ghost, Jetsons, Flintstones, Pokemon, Spiderman (new one), The Batman, Static Shock, Justice League etc etc...

[sreevirus]

Aaah nostalgia!
Even I've stopped watching CN these days. I've heard that they air all the old ones on Boomerang, but I'm not getting it here.

I remember the old days when i was in school and I used to sit and watch Power Zone from 1-3 pm, later on 2-4 pm I guess. Anyone remember all those short flicks like Space Ghost, Birdman, Shazaan, etc?
I really miss the other short flicks like Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Huckleberry Hound, Precious Pupp, Squiddly Diddly, etc. Top Cat was one of my all time favs. So were the Flintstones and The Jetsons.

I don't know why, but I somehow lost the urge to watch the shows after they started showing them completely in Hindi (no offense please, I've seen people getting ferocious here over languages - this does not mean I don't like Hindi, in fact, it's my preferred language of speech). The cable operator here doesn't give any option for the users choosing the languages.
But if I have to give someone credit for my knowledge and grasp of the English language, I would say CN was one of them. Its just that the jokes and punchlines doesn't feel the same after the dubbing. I mean, for me, the essence of it all gets lost in translation. And no one can replace Mel Blanc for the Looney Tunes (Mel Blanc was the voice behind them all).


I still watch Tom and Jerry sometimes on CN, but I really, really hate it when they show ads in between a show. Arre, how long is a Tom and Jerry show yaar? Atleast show the ads after one show ends... sheesh!

[phreak0ut]

The only time I see CN is around 1 AM 'coz Dexter is aired and I watch it only when I can't sleep and there's nothing good to read. CN sucks and will suck more for sure.

[nileshgr]
