it's hurting cn's future, not only that retro doesn't rate, and what is even the point having a block showing old reruns of older content that can be available to stream on Max or online, but this is also concerning what will hold for Cartoon Network.

Cartoon Network needs to be more edgy and boundary pushing

Blame warner bros discovery

​@@elmorehairston-ne4mpdon't blame the company but blame the CEO for ruining our childhood

​@@NOONGROUPMA I choose to also blame the people supporting the choice for Checkered Past.

It looks like Cartoon Network may have to be put down if these disappointments keep up.

@@tavvyprods1275 I think that it is already being put down at this point. I mean, come on. It's not even on for half the day anymore.

I just gave up on CN and made my own www.twitch.tv/classiccn Best part is commercials are more for nostalgia and entertainment than ads, which is great.

Thanks for making a bad time worse with unsolicited comments on my bittersweet past

@@lucky7bolt456 Ikr. But it's true. 4th of july was literally just craig of the creek ALL DAY. One show! Not the worst, you can't even add one more? Maybe this will brighten your day though: www.twitch.tv/classiccn I made a curated tv channel I run to twitch 24/7. It basically airs all the best shows from CN, interspaced with old bumps and funny/old commercials. It's a weekly schedule, so the show you see on at a given time will come back around, but the episodes themselves are randomized. Even runs adult swim, with anime over the weekend. Also has a saturday morning OLD cartoon block. Popeye, The old hana barbera scooby doo ripoffs. And even a sunday afternoon toonami block. It can be a bit iffy at times. Sometimes it likes to desync or break and I have to reload it manually, but it's infrequent enough that it's more than watchable. Maybe once a week it'll have an issue.

I am GLAD adult swim is expanding to latin America, but this is like the SIXTH time that it tried to expand here.

@@TheLuisSloth Let's hope the new Adult Swim channel in Latin America is successful.

realest comment ive seen

Modern kids would find it "offensive"

@@TeamStudNation1280 yeah, but i don’t give a damn, their opinions don’t change the world at all.

I mean, there are still people who watch cable TV, including me.

The schedules dope now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not all, it’s also Discovery’s fault for purging future unreleased content

No, it's not. Blame David Zaslav & WB Discovery for purging animated shows off HBO Max as well as getting CN's Burbank studios shut down last month.

I take it they're still airing nothing but teen titans go reruns?

​@@fsanmiguel666not from what I've seen as of late, but that's the big reason why CN is in this state. For some reason the previous president was obsessed with TTG and gave better shows the boot. Sonic Boom was actually interesting, and what ruined it was the unfair timeslots

Don't blame CN, Blame WB discovery

I saw that and it's going to have the same issue as Rick & Morty with it cluttering up all of the time it'll have going forward. It airs from 1pm to around 5pm on FXX on most days as is.

Big time! I mean, changing the ratings!? That's a huge don't!

​@@jorgezaldivar3113 I mean, the ratings were already questionable, so why change it now, after over 22 years, and give it to a channel dedicated exclusively for adult programs (yes, I'm aware there are minors who watch it, however, that's not because they're allowed to, there's a reason you had to change the channel)

Checkered Past does not fit Adult Swim’s criteria at all.

@@yanrokbowl28 It depends on your parents because my folks allowed me to watch Adult Swim back when I was only 7 years old, so I don't get the whole "having to change the channel" part.

Adult Swim is not meant for kids, this is a CHILDREN'S block that is airing on ADULT SWIM, it's for older teens and adults not for kids, sure kids do watch Adult Swim but it's more fitting for Cartoon Network.

@@BricksVids It's not but they do anyway. 10 and 12 year olds watch Family Guy. Checkered past would be perfectly appropriate for kids. Checkered past makes sense to be on adult swim because it gets attention from adult fans who grew up with these shows. Apparently Adult Swim gets more advertising dollars.

@@icecreamhero2375 True there are kids who would watch Family Guy, I first watched it when I was 9 and my mom let me watch it but some parents do not. If Adult Swim does better in advertising and ratings they should get their own channel here in the US like Canada. Adult Swim is getting a channel in Latin America in October.

​@@BricksVidsAt the end of the day [as] and CN just an nft on the screen. The content will be new to the kids.

Yeah, despite [Adult Swim] themselves was meant for adults, they finally did something smart for a younger audience with Checkered Past. Guess this shows they really do care about the younger audience more than Cartoon Network does.

Cartoon Network hurt itself with its shitty reruns. As far I know there are only like three different programs while Adult Swim have many.

You say all this but Cartoon Network was already hurting thanks to their Teen Titans Go and Amazing World of Gumball only time slots. They barely released anything new in the past few years.

@@filmaru8556 I agree. If they released more new content, the ratings for regular CN would be higher.

@@wyattnelson5218 Yeah but they also need to make room for the rest of us who miss their old shows.

​@@filmaru8556 Define "old shows"

Thank you for watching this video!

​@@benzjbring back 2010 Cartoon Network

The original Cartoon Network escaped into Adult Swim.

Cartoon Network killed themselves and it's too late for them to turn back. It was all self inflicted, especially when they were spamming a certain show that most people despise pretty much all day not too long ago.

They might as well at the rate they're going.

I miss that era of Nick of being able to watch the shows I grew up with and the only way to do that now is on some bootleg site or PlutoTV of all things as all of those shows have been relegated to that platform. It was cool sitting up late to see Ren & Stimpy as well as Kenan & Kel. I even got to see the so called banned Halloween movie Cry Baby Lane on it. It's on KZfaq nowadays but it was something to say the least.

I was born in 06 and I also grew up with the 90s Are All That/Nick Splat/NickRewind block on TeenNick. I would change the channel to TeenNick every night around 9 pm to watch those shows before bed if I wasn't watching anything on Boomerang.

i mean those are the only good shows they have running

@@survived4679Only good show*

​@@survived4679no teen titans Go no please friend

That's what I'm sayin'

Anyone want to go all "cringe SJW" on them until they can't take it anymore?

I not like of teen titans Go

Agreed

Yes

The schedules dope now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fully agree. CN deserves far better treatment than this

I think you make a great point, but in this case, I don't think the soul works well without the body. I don't feel picking CN's most broadly accepted past hits is, in itself, an indication that Adult Swim has any more of an idea about Cartoon Network than Cartoon Network itself does -- if that were true, the 30th anniversary celebrations last year would've been similar cause for optimism (and I feel it would've been unfounded there too). I'd be more convinced if Checkered Past started running a broader array of CN's archive, but there's no current indications that's the plan (and even if it were, the limited success of similar blocks elsewhere give me reasons to cast doubt on the longevity of that effort). And in any case, it's all still reheating leftovers at the end of the day; doing nothing to fix Cartoon Network's current troubles or future problems. I don't think Adult Swim taking "saving CN" on as a peripheral task (as much as it already is one for head Michael Ouweleen) would be a beneficial thing for either side of the channel space, as it divides up the efforts over too many priorities. Thank you for watching this video!

@@benzjI’m guessing you don’t watch much Adult Swim do you? Adult Swim is more than just what shows are on it. Adult Swim itself, is one giant show. Their signature bumpers, the underground music they hand select, their variety of old and new programming, and any other oddballs they throw in for the hell of it. You don’t tune in to Adult Swim for just one show, you tune in to Adult Swim for the entire thing to see what they throw at you. Checkered Past is just one part of the entire Adult Swim lineup that gives the channel its legendary vibe. You can see this in the bumps, how they harken back to CN City but with a twist that gives it some of that Adult Swim flavor.

They aired a full marathon of Futurama when they had to let it go.

@@eatatjoes6751Same with Family Guy. They even had a special bumper of all the iconic Adult Swim originals like Space Ghost and the Venture Bros waving the Griffins goodbye. Never did I think a television bumper would make me emotional like that

If only Thundercats 2011, Storm Hawks and Symbonic Titans were on Adult Swim

For some people it’s more of a convenience I work out of town in construction and 9/10 I put on Cartoon Network just to watch the Checkered Past block and to watch Adult Swim till I go to bed to get up the next day to go to work to do it all over again

I’ve been looking forward to Invincible Fight Girl since catching it’s announcement.

Does CN have a central time zone feed?

Central Time viewers receive the Eastern feed.

Over in my zone, the block starts at 2pm.

@@jonathanwilson5011Is this the pacific time feed?

It is some pretty ironic symbolism, isn't it? Thank you for watching this video!

Pretty sure it’s just one of the Cartoon Network studios logos, they show it at the end of most adult swim shows

@@kartkobainrockzThey use to. The Skull logo was phased out around 2012 but now it’s back.

The Skull was shown at the end of Williams Street logo for a while. Nice Propaganda.

I remember it being after a show ended like Aqua teen hunger force

CN in the early 2010 was actually really great

Nah, early 2010's CN was great, the biggest mistake/flaw was the action shows getting axed in 2013 (like Young Justice) or Sym-Bionic Titan only lasting 1 season in 2011, but Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Steven Universe, Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, etc. put CN back on the map, and the late 2000's was hot garbage with the CN Real crap, the early 2010's variety was miles better than the late 2000's.

@@mqgTWO96 The early 2010s wasn't really great. Adventure time, Gumball, Regular Show, etc are good but it doesn't compare to the variety of the 2000s. And CN Real was only a block on Wednesdays nights in 2009. From 2010 to 2013 they added more live action shows and they aired practically daily on the channel. Level Up, The Incredible Crew, a cheap gameshow from FOX, and Destroy build destroy and dude what would happen.

@@jkdjjj Nah it really wasn't. Yeah Gumball & Regular show were good but marathons of the same few shows constantly. And don't forget the channel kept playing live action shows still. More so than in 2009 when it debuted, all the way til 2013. So no it wasn't a good time compared to the 2000s

@@mart5610 I'm comparing early 2010's CN to the LATE 2000's, not the early-mid 2000's. The late 90's to early-mid 2000's were better than any other period, but I'm specifically referring to late 2000's CN, the time Re-Animated became Out Of Jimmy's Head, Fridays got replaced by Fried Dynamite, Adult Swim became 7 nights a week, TOM 4 led to the end of Toonami on CN even tho the block returned on Adult Swim in 2012, many long time originals ending around the time, CN Real becoming greenlit, etc. Chowder, Flapjack, Secret Saturdays, Ben 10: Alien Force, etc. were there, and of course Total Drama which was the only good Canadian import (cuz the majority of the Canadian imports were mediocre), but those weren't enough, and neither of those compare to the early 2010's programming in quality like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Steven Universe, etc. and let's not forget, even tho many of these were cancelled too soon, the early 2010's still gave us Young Justice, Sym-Bionic Titan, Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, Generator Rex, Cartoon Planet (for classics), etc. and even The Looney Tunes Show and MAD were underrated imo. Even if some live-action shows ran 'til the early 2010's, but there was already live-action on CN since the mid 2000's before Re-Animated became the first ever live-action original produced by CN, and we know what that became. and that's your opinion, there's so many other Cartoon Network years in the 2000's that were controversial by multiple generations, it's an endless cycle. There were controversial years as early as 2004/2005 (Toonami being moved to Saturday nights in place of Miguzi; the first live-action movies airing before Re-Animated which became Out Of Jimmy's Head, or hell, even the debuting originals of 2005 & 2006 like Camp Lazlo, Juniper Lee, My Gym Partner's A Monkey, or Squirrel Boy not holding up to the original Cartoon Cartoons from the 90's to earlier 2000's (which don't even hold up to the early 2010's originals like Adventure Time or Regular Show either). But there were way more positives than that during the City era of course which we're all aware of. I'm sorry, but each year got worse throughout the late 2000's, while each year got better throughout the early 2010's with the exception of how the action shows were treated due to lack of toy sales/merchandise. It wasn't 'til Teen Titans Go! took over throughout the mid 2010's that led to another downfall, including other reboots being produced as well like PPG (2016), Ben 10 (2017), or Total DramaRama.

Yeah, mainly.

​@@eatatjoes6751 And to think they're pandering to the same group who accuse the current generation for being too "fragile".

Which is funny you say that cause people years ago said he was the worst thing that happened to CN and people treated him like he was the antichrist. Now people miss him funny how that happens

@@kerrysraritiesYup the Irony. For me though, I never understood too much of the hate he got, I get the hate towards live action shows but I genuinely like the Teen/Young Adult Direction he took the Network in the early 2010s. With stuff like Young Justice, Looney Tunes Show, SymBionic Titan, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien/Alien Force/Omniverse, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, Green Lanter:TAS, MAD, Steven Universe, TAW Of Gumball, Regular Show, Adventure Time, 6teen, Stoked, Total Drama Island, Legends of Chima, Star Wars The Clone Wars (Pre Disney). He Definitely folly'd at the beginning of his Leadership but he had the right footing by the end of it.

For real? He infested the network with mediocre live action series that tried to compete with Nick and Disney channel and completely forgot that CN is a cartoon only network

​​​@@wwg2005young justice was cancelled at it's second season Regular show, aventure time and gumball suffered a lot of censorship Synbionic titan was cancelled due to a stupid controversy The creator of chowder had to leave due to toxic workplace

I feel like Cartoonito should also get its own channel, just like how Nick Jr and Disney Jr have their own channels

I don't get the purpose of Cartoonito tbh

Sure that would free up scheduling tensions and negotiations, however the main problem with that idea is that CN would literally become 24/7 Gumball occasionally broken up by creg of the creek and clarence.. dropping everything that makes the network even remotely interesting to watch.. not to mention the view count would absolutely plummet esp during graveyard hours. It's worth noting that Adult swim is a sister channel to TBS and would become completely redundant and pointless if it became its own channel. With cartoonito there simply isnt anywhere near enough investment in content for it to even remotely consider becoming its own channel any time soon.. and even if it somehow did it would be a similar redundancy situation.. Why have your child watch cartoonito when they can watch PBS kids instead and see the same elmo and thomas the tank engine??

Cartoonito sucks.

All this started with him and his live action ideas

@Venom3254 Okay but it was only a small percentage of shows. It wasn't filling out the whole schedule

It is disappointing to see Cartoon Network go from a respected network with shows that appealed to multiple generation's, to a network that creates learning programs for preschooler's and shows that do not break the mold of what kids television can be. More adults and teens have watched Cartoon Network in the past. It would make more sense to create shows that appeal to everyone on the main platform of Cartoon Network. It at least gives more variety to Adult Swim outside of stoner humor or Rick and Morty. But CN has a lack of shows that have staying power for large multi generational audiences. It feels like Adult Swim may gain that kind of staying power. With shows like My Adventures with Superman, Smiling Friends, Unicorn Warriors Eternal, Primal, Tuca and Berdie, and possibly other shows to come. All of those shows have brought variety to the network of Adult Swim. There have been variety on the channel before. Shows like The Boondocks, Morel Orel, Venture Bros and other shows have given the network a lot more shows that are mature in subject matter or tone.

I was thinking put the the adult swim "[as]" as a watermark in the corner but make it look like the old CN logo from 2004-9

I say they should stop Toonami altogether, better to air American made programs than Japanese programs, not to mention animes unfortunate influence in modern American culture. American culture should focus on analog medias and american made programs rather than Japanese Programs, Japan doesn't air American cartoons the way we air anime. Checkered past has so much potential and Toonami would just be in the way of progress

​@@KSBN-CCB hell no

@@KSBN-CCB horrible idea

Toonami starting at 7pm on saturdays would be fire, and it give it more variety of content to show.

@@majortom331 Toonami is for losers, especially cause its english dubbed

To me, CN died around 2010 or so after all of their shows from the 2000s were cancelled and replaced by boring and stupid new ones, with things getting progressively worse from there.

Toonami fan here.

Back when Adult Swim had their online /streams/ content, I imagined they could use that to fill daytime airspace in a brand-appropriate (and probably cheap) way -- obviously that's gone now though. I think it just boils down to them not really having anything appropriate to air in the airtime, but investing into AS shows that clear standards and practices as appropriate for, say, noontime might just risk diluting the brand further. Thank you for watching this video!

Why do you people keep saying this lie that nobody watches cable anymore? If nobody watches cable anymore then how do cable stations get any ratings?

@@robertjohnson2916 The only reasons why most Cable stations are still around is because old people still use it and also the fact that people still watch sports on cable tv as well but that is also slowly declining. Most popular shows that are talked about now are only available through streaming or that the majority of people watch it on streaming next day (Max and Hulu does this). Most of CN now is just reruns and when they make a new show it either becomes a max original or dumped on adult swim.

Quick question: after see a max show on Netflix, how many years do you think a stream like max has to live?

People: we want cn city

Just more examples of first world problems really

Ikr and ridiculous! Even nick@nite doesn’t come on that early!

I love the 90s and 2000s, so I too am a sucker for Checkered Past.

It’s been dead for over a decade.

If the entertainment isn’t there, then all it is another ploy to go after the big stream and lose… Isn’t that right max?!
