Do you think Cartoon Network can return to it's "original charter"?

Of course, having Cartoon Network back to the way it used to be back during it's glory days would a dream come true!

I think it would be cool if Cartoon Network starts accepting pitches from the public. One could think you don't always need connections or college degrees to have good ideas.

It’s not that I want the old shows back, it that I want them to be actually entertaining and original, and the ones that are don’t get cancelled so freakin early.

What I REALLY want is Cartoon Network making new shows with a variety of different art styles to make sure it's good enough. I'll create my own series where the art style changes in each episode

Remember folks, nostalgia is blinding and we were all much less observant as children. We only filter the good stuff into long term memory and leave all the niggles and annoyances behind.

You know personally I think it should be an evolved version of early 2010's Cartoon Network with at least three big shows leading the way like Gumball, Adventure Time, and Regular Show did.

Remember when Cartoon Network had more than 3 shows still producing episodes? I remember.

No matter how hard you try to put everything back together, it's never gonna be exactly how it once was. -J.G.

If there's one thing I miss within the animation industry in the past decade is the magic and charm from the 90s and 2000s media. Ed Edd n Eddy, Teen Titans, Fosters Homes for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, Krypto the Super Dog. But that's Cartoon Network, so I also have strong feelings for other network shows like Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parent, Kim Possible, anything that people has fond memories of.

I also want the good ol' Cartoon Network return back to it's original roots before Teen Titans Go.

What I want from Cartoon Network is for them to make banger shows for a new generation, that I (someone who grew up in the early to late 2010s) can also enjoy. Going back to the 2010s or 2000s way of doing things would just stagnate the network, not allowing new creatives to do new things. Also that Kanye parody is fire.

I hope they make cartoons with actual story and action again

I was always a Cartoon Network fan even when I was a kid. Even though I like some of the new shows, I would love it if the channel went back to their Golden Era.

as much as I LOVED Shows like Adventure Time Regular Show and Steven Universe I'd just hope that Cartoon Network will one day go back to it's roots and provide new and original Shows that BOTH Kids and Adults will like

Yes the Cartoon Network can return to its original charter in the 90s and 2000s!

Cartoon Networks golden age was through the Checkerboard Era through the City Era. As well as throughout the CHECK It era.

I grew up during the 2010's renaissance, not the 2000s or the 1990s, and it was shows like Gumball, We Bare Bears and Steven Universe that inspired me to write me own One of the things that I think made that decade so special is the variety. Every single show was completely different in tone, setting, artstyle, and characters. And the writing and dialogue of each show was completely different. It felt like I could read the script, with no characters, and instantly recognize which show it was from. And that is what I want. I want each new show to feel completely different. And I have faith in the new shows to so that Also Gumball movie is not cancelled I will not hear it lalalala I'm not listening

yes :/ miss my childhood sometimes LOL

I know Michael knows what he’s doing, and I know that CN will come back around to be brighter and return to its golden routes we just need faith in them to make sure that the studio will see the light of day for new projects coming in next year like invincible fight girl, Fiona and cake, and brand new season total drama

When I think back on what made CN, it was having wide variety of different entertainments as Cartoons. Ranging from action, slice of life, horror, silly comedy, and episodes that don't need to have bigger plots. So many art styles, different people, the creative passion, ranging from the early 90s to around 2010 era. The problem with slightly modern CN shows (not all but some few) the company would focus more on profits and silly excuse claiming it needs to marketing instead of a captivating audience and their humble feedback. Shows that make you question if they truly were meant to be this long and not end the show much earlier.

I think the thing that makes me saddest is the death of creative branding. I have a very special interest in bumpers, IDs, indents, the like, literally anything with tv branding. It’s disappointing with the jump to streaming services that this creative medium of network branding in those forms, those time capsules of history, we’re not going to have them anymore. The day cable dies is the day that we lose the way we catalogue the histories of these networks. It’s just saddening to me. I’d love to have the old era of shows back, but I’ll be honest the bumpers make me the saddest. I don’t know if that’s silly, but it’s just unfortunate.

I don’t exactly want the old Cartoon Network days back, I definitely agree that nostalgia plays a big part of the fond memories of watching shows at that time so it wouldn’t ever really be the same again. What I really want, and what I hope they can do, is for there to be new shows that are as good as the shows from back then and that I enjoy just as much

From this video: -The Kanye reference to start was funny - i was on channel 32 growing up, not anymore - I don’t think the Gumball movie is fully canceled (yet), so that was kinda surprising to hear you say that Great video, and I just hope CN gets better in general.

I do wanted it to come back because I used to love and remember some of nostalgic cartoons from 2010s like adventure time, regular show,etc.

Really, really great idea to be able to have a new Batman show and decide let's do the cars

Cartoon Network has always been an animation channel instead of being called a kids channel. True story, growing up, both my parents and I love watching shows like Ed Edd Eddy, Ben 10, samurai Jack, regular show even Johnny bravo which was actually my dad’s personal favorite😅, So basically Michael wasn’t wrong.

As long as they remember one thing don't focus dividing cartoon from kids, adults, girl, and boy and just make cartoons. No demographics just good story telling, funny characters, and amazing animation. They do this they'll be fine

Tbh I've given up on cartoon network at this point but knowing we are getting some new shows other than teen titans go is a welcome change.

6:33 I disagree to an extent. Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab are 2 of my favorite cartoons of all time. They are both before my time. I discovered them on Netflix when I was 12. I was born in 98. That isn't nostalgia talking. If those shows came out today I would love them. Alot of the older cartoon network shows have a good track record for holding up. I prefer to like things objectively than be nostalgic.

I agree with everything you've said - hoping the new shows are able to stand up on their own and the creators get to have their vision fully played out 🤞🤞🤞 PLEASE LET THEM ALSO BRING BACK INFINITY TRAIN 😭😭😭

I would love for Cartoon Network to go back to its glory days when they had original content and fun and original shows. But these days I just prefer to support independent animators and artists instead of the bull crap that’s going on right now.

I just hope they put both the old and new hit shows together on the schedule it would great to wake up to classic shows like Dexter's Laboratory Ed Edd n Eddy and Courage the Cowardly Dog followed by the new hits like Adventure Time Steven Universe and Regular Show.

Alpha Jay Show, I remember when I was a kid, my family used to subscribe to a cable provider called AT&T Broadband. My channel for Cartoon Network was on channel 49. Then, I remember having DirecTV and Cartoon Network was on 296 until they added a West Coast feed for channel 297 years later. Boomerang later moved to channel 298 (where it used to have Noggin prior to the switch).

1:58 Me, who was expecting him to say Kids Next Door, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, or at least Total Drama Island, was reminded how not NEW I am.

Unrelated to the video, if you want more suggestions for your Versus series, I can give you two ideas. Both take episode premises from Spongebob and The Ghost and Molly McGee. You can do: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture (Spongebob) vs. Hooray for Mollywood (The Ghost and Molly McGee) Both episodes are about making movies. Or you can do: The Snowball Effect (Spongebob) vs Ready, Set, Snow! (The Ghost and Molly McGee) Both are snow themed episodes. I think it'll be fun for you to cover either of these ideas. Your Versus series is pretty fun to watch

I love Craig of the Creek. I’m sad that this coming season will be the last, but at least it’s getting a movie as well that will hopefully be a proper send off.

As long as it's cheap and experimental (along with getting away from certain that was prevalent in the 2010's), you can sort of get that feeling back. You don't need the exact same thing, just the elements that made the old thing what it was, which forced to be cheap, but open to be experimental. As in get away from the thing, cal arts outlines and more ed edd n eddy and fosters and whatever else that stood out. What made CN unique was how experimental with its style vs something more in line that was nick or disney. Even adult swim just reused old animation and made something new. The old ATHF episode was pretty much photoshop in a sense. It's what made those shows stand out and it's what you remember...

Ayyy channel 32 gang Also, man I feel ya on the lack of original content. I saw Craig Mckracken saying that he's essentially on board for another powerpuff girls because his original pitches aren't getting attention

i have up cartoon network when i was 22 i’m 27 now. it’s not the same vibe as fosters home for imaginary friends or the grim adventures of billy and mandy or code name kids next door or the misadventures of flapjack or chowder vibe to it anymore. new gen CN is just torture.

9:13 I agree and disagree to this. As someone who mainly grew up with shows in the 2010's, I would like to see something that has the pros of 2010's shows as well as other generations before. Pushing away all these audiences away after all these years is one of the major problems the channel sort of has. Acknowledge the others who grew up with your channel as well. Don't just move on and forget about the generations before. *But* I also want this new decade of cartoons to accomplish what other shows couldn't do or didn't do. Use the past decades of cartoons from the channel to achieve what it was able to do and what it couldn't do while also having it's own sense of style on the channel. Haven't been able to love any of the new stuff but I *would love* to be proven wrong :D

1:30 I live in the UK, and the channel number was 601, along with 602 for Cartoon Network+ and that number is forever imprinted in my mind.

Yeah,I definitely want the old Cartoon Network and the old Boomerang. I really grew up with watching the old original shows.

I don't want the old CN back, I just want better schedules and treatment for their cartoons

If we are talking about 90s CN - then yes, yes and yes. Sadly, it´s not possible. The time has passed, there were changes and it WON´T happen.

Even my little brother prefers older CN, so I’m pretty sure it’s not just nostalgia.

Yeah! It would be really cool to have things return to the way the were before it became a mess. Now I understand the meaning of the phrase, "There's nothing like the good old days.", and it would be nice to get back to that.

Depends on which “old” Cartoon Network. The one from 1990-2003 was great, but they still heavily relied on reruns from the HB and WB library with less in-house content (outside of the live action BS).

I would love to see CN greenlight shows that could give the new generation their own version of what we felt back then since the new generation wouldn't know about the good times we had so it would be really good if they could experience that but primarily in their own way

Okay I like your new writers intro... That song hits harder right now

My area for Cartoon Network growing up is 39,Disney is 36 and Nickelodeon was 31 until my cable company had a dispute with Viacom which Nick falls under and now is 92

I remember watching the old Cartoon Network and sometimes boomerang back when I was in elementary school, I really just wish it would stay the same or either go back in time to when I was younger and relive my childhood… it was so good back then 🥲

Love your videos

Happy to be born in 90s one of the best time to witness great cartoon, anime, music, movies, next gen don't know what they missed

I pretty much moved on a loooong time ago. As much as I love CN back in the day I'd probably still not go back and watch it even if it goes back to exactly how it was. Just hope future generations can enjoy the same quality of shows that were around back then.

I'm very much hoping that we get standalone TV shows that can appeal to every type of audience (although I disagree with the preschool shows being on cartoon network than being on cartoonito I can look past that) here's to next year and hopefully bold and fresh ideas coming to life!

This is like trying to experience playing a game for the first time again, you just can't. You already know what to do and what comes next.

My Cartoon Network was on channel 24 (see SpongeBob meme) when I was a child for the short time my parents paid for it (then all I had was PBS), but later when we got FiOS it was 252, and now the channel is none bc I don't pay for cable

I think this is just another symptom of the death of an era in animation. I remember as a kid back in the 90's watching "What A Cartoon" and "2 Stupid Dogs", and the pilots for PPG, Dexter, Johnny Bravo, etc... The point is, animation then took a risk and went running the whole nine yards with it. Studios were willing to gamble and trust in the vision of their animators andnproducers rather than a bunch of out of touch, heartless board of investora. There has been promising pilots being made during the years, like Rocket Dog or Claire, but since studios care more about satisfying the ever fickle moneybags than to build a reputation for passion in animation, well... *it is the end of big screen programming as we know it.*

out of all of the New Shows that have been announced I truly do hope that Unicorn Warriors Eternal will live up to the Hype knowing they brought back Gennady Tartakoskey for Adult Swim's PRIMAL which was EPIC and LOVED his work from Both Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack I hope that Unicorn Warriors Eternal will be good and live up to the hype also they really need to bring Back Sym Bionic Titan back for more Seasons

My Cartoon Network channel was 24, i think. 44-45 was Fox, 25, 26 and 29 were Nickelodeon, Disney, and Disney XD. 23 was Paka Paka and 31 was a broken channel that always put the CRT calibration screen (the color bars). I only remember it because as a kid i always used to be perplexed by how the yellow was made, because zooming really close to the screen you couldn't see yellow, only red green and blue lines, also zooming too close gave you electric static shocks, one of the reasons why i get scared of being close to screens. Anyway in DirectTV, it was 304 for Cartoon Network and 220 (i think) was TruTV, 204 was Fox, and uh, that's all i remember in DirectTV.

It is upsetting to think about the fact that CN only has 3 shows currently airing new episodes, those being Teen Titans Go, Craig of the Creek, and We Baby Bears. And Craig of the Creek is ending after season 5.

I hope some of the cancelled projects come back after they get a bigger budget.

Cartoon network from the 90s to early 2010s were the best eras of CN 😔

I also loved the in-credits scenes from the 2000s CN shows to death.

4:55 I guess our dreams don’t always come true, and we often fail to accept that.

A mix of new and Old is always good. I think giving kids re runs of the past is a good way to help them connect with the older generations but every generation does need something Iconic of it's own. So Sometimes other ways to connect with the past is to make a show that is able to relate to people of older generations without rehashing something done to death. Personaly I do like it when some new shows are like hey look at some of this stuff from older genres like older anime, let's try to make something that feels like something out of an old anime but use it to make the plot or story work were it just feels right. Like we even got games now and days that take from older generations like Cup head and Bendy and INK Machine and they bring back that rubber Hose feel for their games....the actual cartoon for Cuphead however doesn't realy feel like an old rubber hose cartoon it feels almost more like other typical moder shows. I like Primal because we get that SAMURI Jack style of story telling and art style and I hope we get a third season and if not I do hope that we get another show like that in the future. I'll admit I love Scooby Doo and all but maybe not to crazy for some ofthe stuff they did with Scooby doo as of late. mean while the old hanabarbara stuff hasn't gotte anything that feels as close to classic since they try to hard to make them look like modern cartoons and I think the art styles they've used for some is kind of ugly. I do understand what you are saying though. But I must say this. BOOMERANG IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT OLDER CARTOONS FROM THE PAST NOT THE MOST RECENT YEAR!. I get that Cartoon Network needs to move on but Boomer rang needs to focus more on past because that's what it waas made for. they need to make more Boomerang channles and stop using them as just another channle for modern cartoons. LetOld cartoons have their time to be relished and beloeved again, they deserve it! The only way for them to truely be loved is as they were, because they are classics.

My channel number with Comcast was 060, when we switched to verizon it was 257.

“It had the time and resources to Blossom” (Cuts to clip of Blossom) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Idk if it matters for me whether or not they fade away or not, I also don’t remember what channel # cn was and I don’t care either, both because I used to have Dish until 2021 when we got roku. Then we had to cough up money for a Hulu subscription to watch Gumball like once a month on it. I don’t have dish anymore and haven’t used it in 2 years. The roku we bought for the living room tv (2013 Hisense) is now mine and is in my tv in my room (yes I have a tv in my room it’s just really old, it’s not a box tv like my school uses, yes even in 2023 they’re still holding on to a box tv, well, I guess, if it works, I use a really old Element Electronics flat screen tv. And if you’re wondering, yes the box tv still works even today, it’s just unplugged, I saw them watching something on the box tv when I got out for Christmas break of 2022-2023. The little kids were watching probably veggie tales or something idk. Also yes my tv still works, we just had to transform it into a tabletop tv since it was wall mount when I obtained it for my pc. Yes I used a television for a pc monitor leave me alone plz.)

Its hard to move on cant believe i cant watch the show i used to watch on tv anymore

I want new projects to be announced. Not really acquiring existing ips. Thought right now that would be better than what we have now

To think that the words of a CN veteran turned CEO could give me so much hope for the future. Finally, after years of being trekked through the mud, being ricked across the coals and braving through the storm, a brilliant ray of light sits at the end of it all. But of course, words are just that, words, what matters more is action! Only time will tell if that ray of light was ever truly there or just a desperate hallucination.

This is why my memories is the old cartoons and shows.

Hey! Remember when Mr. Warburton released a trailer for the Galactic Kids Next Door, and wanted to end the series on a high note!? But the CN Execs turned it down!? Maybe it's time!

Channel 25 was the station number for cartoon network in Maryland during my childhood

I literally stopped watching and grew out of Cartoon Network's older shows altogether for good because these stupid, toxic 90s and 2000s brats won't stop crying about Cartoon Network not airing their past cartoons

You had me at gremlins 3

I haven’t watched Cartoon Network in ages but of course I miss the old cn the adventure time, regular show, Clarence era was very good

I love the rap in the beginning of the video

I hope CN will be a better for next year. I hope

I want another show as ballsy and mature as Code Lyoko with a villain as extreme, psychotic, creepy and iconic as X.A.N.A..

I will always be a little sad that we had to lose infinity train as well as close enough. Both shows were bangers and I'm hoping that they can at least be restored to the platform or a new platform someday. But that's the issue with licensing agreements.

I never wanted the return of the “glory days” of the 2000s to early 2010s (well aside from a couple things) but I just want CN to produce quality content again which they’ve been struggling with for a few years now

My CN channel was 302. Newly sucscribed btw

The Gumball movie is still happening, and so are the six affected projects. They just aren't going to Max and instead are being shopped around to other networks/streamers

My channel number for Cartoon Network was 67! 68 for nick and 64 for Disney channel (63 for room Disney/Disney XD)

Definitely I'm 28 so I grew up with 90s early 2000s after Ed edd n eddy ended in 2009 they started going down hill. I hope they come back with similar shows or bring them back with new seasons

I live in South Africa CN is channel 301 BTW you were cooking in that intro

Didnt Ben Bocquelet stated in a twitter post stating that the gumball movie is in a Schrodinger's cat question . Or dead and alive situation.

The only thing I am hoping right is that we can get more than 1 or 2 original programs airing on CN

i wanna have hope, some of the upcoming shows might be interesting I'm very curious about the gremlins cartoon

I can't believe that Glitch Techs was Cancelled on a Cliffhanger!

That intro was creative😂😂😂

I dunno about the 2010's. In the 90's and 2000's you could watch cartoon Network all day and have 20 different shows. 2010's felt like only 3 shows running over and over again. The old cartoon cartoons and segments that pretty much aired pilots with a "let's just throw new stuff on the wall and see what sticks" attitude was great for creativity. That's the time when some of the greatest cartoonists of our time like Genndy Tartakovsky started their career. I guess what I'm actually missing is Hanna-Barbera, their absorption into the Warner Bros. Animation was a great loss for the cartoon world. But besides HB Cartoon Network still had many shows from other studios including anime. I guess if everyone wants to make their own exclusive streaming platform a traditional TV station has to struggle for content. They could transform into a TV+streaming platform themselves and take on many small creators. Commission youtube animators for example to make one season of a cartoon for their TV channel/online library to spice things up, at least that's how I would do it. At least what Ouweleen says sounds promising. I'm not holding out an hopes, but maybe we might get positively surprised.

same for disney xd and nickelodeon old shows like ones from fox kids and jetix

That’s music to my ears.

I truly enjoyed cartoon network and adult swim in their prime, but I can acknowledge that it's likely I'm associating it with a time that my life that was great, not saying it isn't great now, but you know, nostalgia. I also have to take into consideration, that I am not a kid anymore so I naturally got away from cartoon network as I got older. But I really loved the CN city era it was so fun and original.

Yes I would love to have the old cartoon network back from the 2000's and 2010's!!!

My channel number was 860, that was engraved into my memory.
