I miss the period when Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Regular Show, and Gumball were all in their first couple seasons and TDWT was also getting started. That was a good time to be alive. The network hasn’t been able to repeat anything like that since.

I grew up during Cartoon Network's Golden Era (late 90's to 2000's), and even I can admit that the 2010's was surprisingly pretty good. Sure, we had endless Teen Titans Go marathons and the Powerpuff Girls reboot, but we also had Adventure Time, Gumball, Steven Universe, and Craig of the Creek. Basically, the good stuff outweighs the bad. I do fear for CN's future as well. With the network repeating the same mistakes with Cartoonito (anyone remember Tickle U?) and adding in more live action stuff, it's like executives failed to forget why the channel was great to begin with. Genndy Tartakovsky is creating more shows with the in-house studio, and I have no doubt they'll be great, but it's going to take more than Genndy to make Cartoon Network great again.

Amazing World of Gumball was the last show that I really watched and once it ended, I personally think Cartoon Network fell from its glory.

2012 - Channel embracing their cartoons against after the failure of CN real and celebrating the channel's 20th anniversary 2022 - Here, have an app, go away, this channel is for younglings. 2022 after July - Yknow what, fuck animation.

It's not just Cartoon Network, even other platforms, where we thought would be safer for these kinds of mediums like HBO Max, are doing their best to erase animation as a whole, and that's not right or fair at all. Seriously, it's bad enough that the Oscars will never recognize animation as a proper medium deserving of awadds, but to have other mainstream platforms do the same? Something's got to be done, and I think it's time animators banded together and made their own platform for their shows, because the future looks rather bleak for animation, with the way how things are going

I especially love Craig of the creek because it feels realistic. It shows how q child works and plays around. I get to feel like a true child when watching it.

The state of cartoon network's current state definitely worries me. I couldn't have said it any better myself! Keep up the great work Jay 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

CN ‘s state began worrying me when they haven’t officially renewed Mao Mao season 2 for over three years. That show is one of the best animated series I’ve seen in a long time and it’s increasingly disheartening that CN is boarding up a potential gold mine. I guess they *kinda forgot* that series existed. 🙄 With that said, I don’t think CN is in Nickelodeon-level trouble. But, unless something changes, it’s on that road, given how terrible the company’s communication has gotten. Edit: Hello, future Jojo here. Just wanted to say: wow, this comment has aged terribly.

I loved Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated! It had a dark tone, intense moments and an on-going story; while also having episodic mysteries

The problem with modern cartoon networks is that most of these shows are forgettable and uninteresting and sometimes either crap or mediocre. And the people behind in today's CN are really doing a terrible job running the company. There are some cartoons that could be pick for a good series but for some reason they decline it and make copy paste of Steven universe of cheap animation and design. Maybe with the merge with Discovery they'll fix CN but will see what happen they only for shows to be successful.

Cartoon network been fumbling ever since they decided to put TTG on the frontlines instead of the hidden gold they got going on

Teen titans go killed cartoon network they realized they could make lazy no effort cartoons for almost no budget and just run the re runs on every available block they had

...honestly, I'm surprised CN has as much of a future as you laid out here. I was under the impression that it just had... nothing left under its belt and was just waiting for its existing shows to quietly die off. It's good to know I was mistaken there.

As someone that got into Cartoon Network when their family first got satellite TV around 2001, I basically agree with a lot of the stuff said in this video. I loved CN growing up, and I slept on some amazing hits until I was able to watch them reliably online in my adulthood, but I could just tell that shows were of a different breed during my childhood than they are right now. This isn't a bad thing, but a lot of shows feel less...potent than they were in the early 2000s before the dark times. That's not to say modern shows are bad, but I feel that outside of the outliers like Infinity Train, there's a pulp, a texture, a punch, missing from anything that's come out considerably in the past 5 years from CN. I also wanna tack on that as long as shows like Teen Titans GO exist, animation will never shake its stigma of not being a respectable form of storytelling. When shows that are just visual noise get seven or eight seasons, but great stories like Infinity Train and OK KO get cut short, that tells Hollywood executives all that they need to know.

Some people say “Oh your just mad that Cartoon Network isn’t like it was in the 90s”. Not all people criticizing CN are blind on nostalgia or anything. A lot of claims about CN nowadays, such as them screwing over many original shows such as Mao Mao, Elliot From Earth and Infinity Train and making TTG take up almost the entire schedule are valid (And I’m no TTG hater, I just find TTG mediocre and don’t care for it)

At the rate things are going, I don’t think Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel are going to be around in a timespan of 5 years.

I was a senior in high school in 2010 and had pretty much lost interest in CN after they purged most of their animated lineup. One day one of my classmates asked if I had seen Adventure Time and the Regular Show. I told them I hadn’t and was mostly watching Adult Swim at that point. They were like “No, you have to check this out” So that night at 10:30 I tuned in and watched. They were so funny and different from anything on CN at the time I remember thinking “If this is what cartoons are going to be like in the 2010s then this is gonna be an amazing decade for animation”

As a latino, i might point out V&V doesn't do well down here in LatinoAmérica. It might be the Güero Balazos effect, when the show try so hard to be representative about the LatAm culture, it actually ends triggering off locals, who just want some dumb fun like El Tigre or Mucha Lucha.

One thing I’m worried about is the strong lack of love for the classic Cartoon Network originals, especially the obscure ones from the 2000’s & Cartoon Cartoons.

I stopped watching Cartoon Network in the UK in late 2020 due to them rarely airing the better shows or airing them only like once a day in the afternoon or evening (like Craig of the Creek, one of the better modern CN shows, seemed to be on and off the schedule here in the UK). In the US, they seem more focused on moving a lot of CN stuff to streaming. Just wish we had that much content available to us in the UK. TV seems to be winding down, like I did over a year ago in favour of more convenient streaming/on demand options.

Surprised he didn't mention the "pushing for younger content" argument considering how the Grim Adventures project was denied. But with the selection of future shows mentioned, the argument could be flimsy depending on how they turn out

Man, I miss the 2010’s era of Cartoon Network. That era was everything to me✨✨✨. But around 2019-2020 was when every leftover 2010’s show was slaughtered. The only show that’s still around is Craig Of The Creek, which to me is great but it doesn’t get as much amount of spotlight on the channel compared to TTG. Whether you wanted to watch something story-driven or just fun and humorous, the channel had everything which I appreciated since I loved both. The new state of Cartoon Network is so worrisome to the point where I stopped watching it. Most of their new content is either dull, babied down, dumb, or just unnecessary. It’s such a shame on what kind of CN era the younger kids are going to grow up with.

Good video but you forgot to mention two key points as to why CN's quality has gone down and why it will keep going down. 1. Live Television is dying. Live television has been on the decline since the last decade. Warner Media has likely been cutting Cartoon Networks budget and investing in other shows for their streaming service. There is no benefit in making higher quality shows for cable when Warner could just put it on HBO Max. 2. The Warner Discovey deal is going to negatively hurt cartoon network. Merger deals kill development. Any show still in development is going to be scrutinized by a new set of eyes and most get scrapped or the show will get moved to HBO Max. Ex Learning with Pibby still hasn't been green lit and Infinity Train being moved to HBO. The new deal will also cut cartoon networks budget. The purpose of the merger was to increase catalog sizes for both streaming services. It would be best interest to cut money away from a dying medium and invest into the new market (streaming).

I grew up and saw a lot of these shows. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that it was not the live action shows as much as how they were promoted. A lot of them had very dark forms of promotions compared to the previous decade outside of the Invasion and Courage promos. Tower Prep was actually the darkest promo I remember and shows like Dude What Would Happen and Destroy Build Destroy had become controversial through outside media and news sources. Though the simplicity of bringing back the slow return to the Golden Age throughout the Renaissance was something that would be helpful, it may have been the fact that story driven shows from CN Real helped bring about the greatness of the next generation of animation. I remember that before CN Real there was many shows that were stuck in the show to show episodic format. But after that there was a huge amount of story and plot driven shows that became their own sources like Adventure Time on both the Cartoon Network and Disney Channel channels. Gravity Falls would have never been the hit it was had nothing been done to help people see that episodic format was losing the minds of those who watched it in favor of story driven shows with a plot that would be able to extend the show to more than children. I first saw all of them in my late teens and would still call this one of the best things to happen to the channels as a whole. Even Regular Show helped through merging plot and episodic format into a surprisingly cohesive merger along with Gumball.

Honestly despite being in my early 20s, as a fan of animation some of these new cartoons that the network is working on I am looking forward to some of these. My only note to cartoon network is don't do live action. While I understand why they do however it takes years to figure out how to do it. The reason why Disney and Nickelodeon do it is because they have sibling networks who practice that kinda stuff as well as years of practice. My main worry about cartoon network at the moment is that they want to be more like they're main competitors; and do live action. However what they don't realize is that they're competitors are telling them don't do what we do but do what you do. Probably not entirely the main point of your video, but given the pattern the network has had yeah. Also you forgot to mention Over The Garden Wall. I know it was a miniseries but it did lay the foundation for what infinity train would pick up.

I wish I could go back to the years of 2009. I may have only been 6, but it was an easier and fun life/TV time for me

I will never ever EVER forgive CN for the cancellation of Infinity Train. They did so many shows wrongfully in the past before but they crossed the line with Infinity Train.

TTG was bad for most all older audiences because many of them would see TTG as a betrayal of said fans of the OG teen titans that had an amount of unresolved plot threads. What possible reason is there for the show being written with a hate on for the OG TT audience though? It is funny in a twisted sort of way, but just...why?

coming from someone who was there back in the golden day of Cartoon Network and saw it go down during the 2010's. I was amaze when my brother told me there is a great cartoon shows back on Cartoon Netwrok. During that time it felt like it was back to the golden age. Where Cartoon Network was back to what it was Cartoons; however, sadly I stop watching when I saw nothing but Teen Titan Go and nothing else. Once Gun Ball and Adventure time finish there was nothing else to watch. Cartoon Network doesn't know what it want to be or how they should fix it. Sadly I don't think they can fix it. The not even hyping it self up for anniversary this year.

I am worried about Cartoon Network. Yet I also have ideas for what they could do to save it too! *Focus on Mao Mao again and give it more seasons (hopefully more then 3) *Give We Bare Bears one last season (We Baby Bears does not count) *Bring back Hanna Barbara/Warner shows (such as Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, Speed Buggy, etc) *Make some more female lead cartoons *If they want to reboot a show again, make sure it’s good and not a sucker for modern cancel culture junk *Bring back Infinity Train for the last four books we need *Make Galactic Kids Next Door happen *CANCEL TEEN TITANS GO ALREADY! *Preserve all the shows removed from HBO Max thanks to Discovery *Most importantly bring back the CN city bumpers and music videos, and make some with the recent characters *minor note fix Boomerang, put back the cool toy bumpers and focus on the classic vintage shows

Driftwood has definitely caught my attention. Genuinely seems like an amazing premise, really hoping that they execute on it adequately

This video is suddenly so much more relevant and foreboding now. The Lost Media generation of cartoons. What a devastating new era of animation.

Very sad the decline in CN they tried way to hard to pander to the younger audience when they had potential to grasp a larger slightly older audience who has now drifted to streaming services in favor of satellite/cable.

When the alpha jay show uploads its gonna be 1.clever commentary 2.good humor 3.great charisma love the vid bro keep it up

I’d argue it’s okay. There’s so many great cartoons in general to watch through, we have time to wait

39:16 MAO MAO 💕✨ Thank you so much for including him! I don’t see many big cartoon youtubers mention him nowadays and it’s nice to see some Mao Mao rep. :) I really hope we get season 2 news at this year’s comic con

While on the subject of how animation was impacted in the 2010s, I feel like Gravity Falls, though worthy of its acclaim, managed to break Disney Television Animation internally. This is because, in the decade since GF premiered, nearly every show the studio has produced afterwards has prominently featured the same tropes that GF perfected - the outgoing tween girl, serialization, the alpha bitch with hidden depths, characters who are toxic influencers (although that last one didn't start until later), etc, etc. This isn't always bad - I just started rewatching DuckTales 2017 and it's still as good as I remember it - but then you look at the criticism aimed at Molly McGee for following a repetitive characterization...while the same fandom adores Andrea, despite the latter being just as recycled in terms of characterization as the former. Frankly, I am getting kinda frustrated at DTA for clinging to the GF tropes for literally half my life, to the point I'm convinced that Hailey's on It (an upcoming show) could be reviewed without actually watching it, just based on how long the formula's been used and abused. Sorry for going on so long; I'm just opinionated on a lot of stuff

The fact nickelodeon is doing better than cartoon network says everything you need to know. Say what yall want about nick, but they are at least trying to put their best foot forward

I've always wondered how it would work out if networks like cartoon network dedicated a time block airing an old show in a marathon format for a week, then picking another older show evey week

This video was delightful, like a major retrospective on the lead up and current state of CN, alongside what you personally think could be the best for the channel. I'll forever appreciate the 2 minutes you gave to talk about Trick Moon, I did not expect it to be mentioned or given that much time alongside shows with actual seasons!

When I was little I originally wanted to work at Cartoon Network to get my own ideas shown on TV. However I guess the situation has changed over there since. I am still going strong with my projects, even complted a small comic and currently working on two with a few early animations finished here and there. I probably plan on making my own network, and have a crew that actually enjoys what they're doing. Hope others that have the same ideas as me work just as hard for our dreams to come true.

Your right alpha jay, in my opinion they’ve got one good show(Craig of the Creek) and that lack of quality content is scary

I've been worried for years, ever since Teen Titans Go was aired.

Cartoon Network, as of now, is in it's dark age. I fear that it'll be LONG time before they come out of it. Here's a suggestion, go back to the roots. Go back to late 90's and early 2000's. I bet they'll make even more money and gain a positive reputation among the animation community if they went that direction.

Finally glad to see some V&V appreciation, one of my favorite current shows in general ❤

Trick Moon, oof that hurts, last I remember it was briefly in production before being passed on because of the changes going on when the merger was happening, I think I remember the creator has the rights so they could pitch this somewhere else if they wanted to

I feel really bad that Apple and onion was canceled since it was really underrated and very funny, but I think most people never came to watching it because of the childish name and artstyle. I hope more people can watch more of it to treat it more fairly

If it's worth anything, Star Giant is currently reviewing every single Cartoon Network original series from What a Cartoon all the way to Steven Universe Future. Regardless of how you feel about her as a person, I love her dedication to CN.

I'm more interested in old shows than modern shows, and this video makes me convinced that's probably for the better.

I usually comment on a video of this calibre in the middle but the presentation was so good I just had to finish it so shout-out to Alpha Jay for creating imo the best introspective video on Cartoon Network to date and also to the editors for adding that extra spice to make such a cohesive video. Well, to the my opinions part of this comment (y'all gonna hate me for this smh) Teen Titans is the Riverdale of Cartoon Network I really wish I had the chance to enjoy Infinity Train back when it was new and not during the pandemic where I had to find out at 2am in the night that it had been cancelled If Teen Titans was the show that put me out of favor with CN, Craig of the Creek and MaoMao brought me back For most parts, I glad we share the same reservations for the upcoming Gumball projects but I feel that Elliott from Earth(by some sort of miracle) has the ability to be one of the best shows of this decade Finally, Ivandoe is getting a show And I can't wait to witness the future CN holds for us In conclusion, I'm only watching The night Begins to Shine spinoff for the song I've said alot only because I watched the full video from beginning to end without any distractions all thanks to the presentation. I could actually see this being presented in a meeting

it’s crazy because I watched this video yesterday found it rlly interesting and you introduced me to some shows on HBO max I didn’t even know existed like the fungies. so then to see later that same day shows like infinity train, mao mao and the fungies are getting removed from HBO max is just rlly sad to see in general but especially the timing of it for me

Quite honestly I loved Elliot from Earth. It was such a good show and I loved the art style and the characters. I just wish they'd continue it and continue Mao Mao which is another amazing show. My favorite show that is currently airing is Craig of the Creek. Its such a good modern cartoon with amazing animation, awesome references left and right about all sorts of things. And the little world in the creek with the creek kids is just ugh I love it so much, I cant get enough of that show, they said there will be a season 4 hopefully that's true ad they even said there will be a movie. If its in theaters, my ass is finna be up in the theater. and I say that cause its extremely rare for me to actually want to see something in the movies let alone go out of my way to go watch a movie of some franchise that I hardly care for. Id also like to buy a boxed set of the show. Id watch every single episode all over again. I just love the show that much.

0:59 almost 2010 2:13 Minecraft has been a personal favorite of mine for 8 years now. I’ve been playing Minecraft since 2015, so 8 years ago. Obviously, I’d know a lot about a game if I’ve been playing it for over half my life. Those have been 8 consecutive years of Minecraft time. I don’t play it as much as I used to, but I still love it. I have a world on there that I’ve had since late 2021 and still have in 2023. The Xbox One I use I think will be 10 years old this year since launch day of I think 2013? The Hisense tv I use to play it will also be turning 10 on July 13. It was made/released on July 13, 2013.

Craig of the creek is one of my favorite shows. The part where someone tells the kids they remind them of Ed Edd and Eddy in the show, that’s when it clicked for me about why I loved the show so much. For a note, I’m 23, and grew up on Ed Edd and Eddy as my favorite show. This show never made me feel pandered too either, which made it a breath of fresh air

Alpha I just want to say that you're basically the emplemon of cartoon reviewers giving many different points of views in such a long but watchable way. Thank you for giving continuous work for our entertainment

Their current slate/lineup is worrisome, but they are going out of their way to get classic Cartoon Network creators back at the company. Both Genndy and McCracken coming back. They also have a lot in development overall, especially with Hannah-Barberra Studios in consideration

Cartoon Network dropped the ball TOO many times! 😢 Everything you said in this video is true. You’ve mentioned a lot of cartoons that I’ve never heard of. If a streaming service is ever made to pat homage to animation, I’ll buy it in a heartbeat.

I'd love to see a current day "state of nickelodeon" video sometime as well. I've not paid nearly as much attention to them as other programs, but from what I hear, they've been undergoing an agonizingly painful decline for several years now.

Confession #2: I’ve always preferred Regular Show to Adventure Time. Where as Adventure Time is bright and colorful, cutesy, sugary, and whimsical, Regular show is...not. I know I cant really call it things like bitter, cynical, negative, or even “gray-tone”, but it does somewhat lean in that direction . I never knew the right words to describe that show, but it does make it feel a little more down to earth, relatable, and even more “adult” than Adventure time. I think the best word I can describe the tone and aesthetic of this show (compared to Adventure Time) is “diluted”.

No year like 2011 Adventure time, TDWT, regular show and the premiere of gumball how times have changed

Not sure I'm convinced the pandemic wasn't a bit part of the decline. Keep in mind this was still part of a transition from cable, and As for the counterargument: yeah everyone else was hit too. Nick kept the sponge going because of course, and all of its programming is focused on reboots and nostalgia. Probably canned most of its original stuff due to the pandemic. A few streaming services got one lucky break, but that's really it. WOuld have been fine a decade ago, but you need more than one hook (or one HUGE hook, on the level of Spongebob) to keep that momentum. The only slight on CN specifically is that CN was floundering between Turner figuring out if they should homespin a CN app or throw programs on HBO Max (often thought of as a "mature platform"... I mean, you really going to assossiate the place for Game of Thrones with Teen Titans Go?). The did the former for years and it was probably the wrong move, but I get why. No other streaming service had to worry about that branding issue.

Victor and Valentino is criminally underrated, that's all I'll say for now

Apple & Onion was def an underrated show of the 2010s and should have been prolonged for sure.

I grew up with the golden age of TV Networks (late 90s-early 2000s) and I remember dropping off TV bar Regular Show as a teen, but Lord this is the worst decade for actual content - it's so bad that I'm willing to binge Regular Show and Gumball's worst seasons out of annoyance. As for Teen Titans Go, it's morphed from the Mount Rushmore of Cartoon Network to the crudely nailed wooden sign asking you not to climb on the Rushmore heads.

Flapjack was and always will be my favorite CN show, I was so sad when it got canceled due to the live action shows, I still miss it

After what happened with HBO+ this video hits different

Honestly at this rate cartoon network will die off most of the shows that are on the network are mediocre and it feels like cartoon network got so obsessed with teen titans that they basically refuse to even add that many new shows compare that to Disney who have had nothing but hits amphibia, owl house, big city greens, and the ghost and molly Mcgee what does cartoon network that isn't primarily teen titans not much even with Disney's small line up the shows are really memorable and good

Grew up watching Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, then stopped…until Clone Wars aired, then Friday nights were lit again. Now, the first few hours of Adult Swim are all that is worthwhile.

The only reason it worries me is because they cancelled DC superhero girls because no one gave a f*ck about it

RIP close enough 😪 🙏

Honestly I never really watched much of Cartoon Network other than the amazing world of gumball so once that ended I basically stopped watching the channel altogether so now I’m just slowly waiting for the gumball movie

For DC Superhero Girls My favorite characters are a three way tie between Supergirl, Green Lantern and Zatanna But I’d say Kara(Supergirl) would be my definitive favorite if I had to choose one She’s just so loud and funny I end up mostly rewatching episodes that are about her Plus, Nicole Sullivan is really good at portraying her

"Amphibia still goes on strong" is anyone going to tell him?

I kinda don’t recognize Cartoon Network as it is anymore. I miss the days where action cartoons as well as the comedy ones could live on the same channel together. I mean there was a time where Ben 10, Generator Rex, Chowder, and Regular Show all dwelled together. Batman: The Brave and the Bold was definitely a good balance between comedy and action. Now I feel like I have to go to several streaming services like HBO Max or Amazon Prime for particular genres of animation while Cartoon Network has its own particular genre of animation that it produces. The landscape really has changed….

CN went from having shows like Regular Show, Gumball and Adventure Time to shows like Teen Titans Go and Powerpuff Girls 2016 😒

That part about Trick moon man I swear I need to acquire the rights to it to make it a reality.

I started watching CN back in summer of 2011. Man, 2010-2012 CN was great. It only seemed to be getting better and better and the network climaxed in 2012, as all of their shows seemed to peak in quality around that time. The only downside to that era was that the action shows got poor treatment. 2013 was where the network began declining, not because of TTG, but because so many shows declined in quality that year (except for ones like Gumball). 2014-2015 is where the scheduling took a toll, but was probably the last good era of CN due to good shows like We Bare Bears and Over the Garden Wall. 2016 and especially 2018-now, CN’s been dead.

I kinda moved on to watching more anime after shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe, and Infinity Train all ended

I just want Cartoon Network to end it's decade in a good note. The Late 2010s were just awful: -The TTG Mega Marathons began -Regular Show was the only show to being able to end -All the 2010 hits getting cancelled, leaving with a bunch of shows that aren't strong. -HBO Max's existence -Reboots that are inferior to their predecessor and are controversial -And Donald Trump's Delaying Merger affecting production of those shows For CN to play good in this decade they need to actually produce Story driven shows, since that is what it's trending now. (Look at Arcane & The Owl House) Change Cartoonito for Boomerang since HBO Max exists for the classics Retry some stuff they failed in the past like Movies (Remember Boston Mooninite Panic?) and make Good Live-Action Shows like Tower Prep. (Tower Prep were good, they just cancelled because of the "Girls dont buy toys" mindset in the past) Pray Warner that they don't get in legal trouble with the US ever again

I’ve been watching CN since the Chowder days, and all I see now in this channel with all these Reboots and shit is one thing: fear. CN is too scared to greenlit potentially amazing shows that could bring in tons of revenue and they play it safe by showing excessive reruns of a mediocre at best reboot(ttg)and Gumball. They had a chance to lay a new foundation with Trick Moon, but they cancelled it due to the restructuring. Also, Mao Mao was a pretty good show, not amazing, but it’s great. Why the fuck we haven’t gotten season 2 yet is beyond me.

In defense of the people who hated Thunder Cats Roar, myself inlcuded, there was one other major reason it was panned and hated as it was. The man who was creating it flat out said he hated the original and his brothers made fun of him with/for it. The general belief is that he took up this project to stick it to them as he had no attachments to either the orginal or 2011 versions of the show. The belief is that if you have no passion for what you're working on, then you shouldn't be working on it. Something I wholeheartedly agree when it comes to entertainment.

Can I just say that happy new year thing gave me a wave of nostalgia

This aged poorly

How to fix CN. They need to pump out new shows. The normal ones not just for Cartoonito. They rerun the same 3 shows that are pretty old. Teen Titans Go came out in 2013, Craig of the Creek came out in 2017 if I remember correctly, and Gumball came out in 2011. The only new show is We Baby Bears. Edit: So they are doing that we just need to wait.

They killed off Young justice in favor of teen titans go. They would even troll the fanbase to add salt to our wounds. Good old days. Lol

This video reminds me that so many good and great shows are already out and are still being aired as well.

Meanwhile disney is producing bangers like Amphibia, Owl House, Big city Greens, TGAMM, and more

Over the years I've noticed a recurring pattern of shows being made more and more toothless and vacant. Give it another decade and the content marketed towards 8-10 year olds will look like Peppa Pig.

The day they gave We Bare Bears the boot that's when they slipped

I don't know how to feel, when I watched this video after more worrying news happened

As someone who was born in 2006, i was glad to be able to experience someone the greatest shows 2010 cartoon network could offer. Heck even my older cousins introduced me to their favorites like Kids Next Door, Billy and Mandy, Chowder, Camp Lazlo and all the other great things from early 2000's. It's sad to see that Cartoon Network fall down from it's prime, I pretty much stopped watching after Mao Mao and OK KO ended. I binged Amazing World of Gumball but the episodes eventually led me to a spiral of boredom. I used to be so eager to watch Cartoon Network that i'd wake up at 7 in the morning and run to my dad's room to turn on the TV. Heck I would even tell dad to skip Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on disney cause a new episode of Adventure Time was on. I'm now on a quest to find all my favorite shows on DVD and play it on my old DVD Player, I know it's weird to get it on DVD but fuck it, for nostalgia's sake I'll do anything. Can't trust websites nowadays.

I felt the same way about Victor and Valentino. Ok at the start but then I got bored. Craig of the Creek is still one of my favorite shows though.

TotalDramarama ended and in the way it should have. ANd it was suprisingly satisfying to see an in universe explanation that was suprisingly accurate

Oh my lord, green light _Trick Moon_ immediately, I am in absolute love.

They cancelled Apple and Onion which I actually liked :/ now all that is left is Craig of the creek and sometimes Vic and Valentino. But I fear even those two will be gone. All that will be left is Teen titans go.

Whew boy if we knew just how bad things really are...and more bad news is rolling out.

I don’t consider the last decade to be magical. I respectfully disagree. The 2000s decade is more magical in my opinion.

I am indeed worried for Cartoon Network. Esspecially if those rumors that the network might become a full preschool network are true.

Yeah it's so sad to see one of my favorite shows going down the hill and such a way but this video was still good
