Should I be in charge of Cartoon Network's programming or what?

[Jimmy Kustes]

If you didn't know here's the dish: I love the obscure cartoons from National Film Board of Canada! It's not every one's cup of tea because you either love it or hate it. But why did CN have to get rid of it?

It came on after Space Ghost Coast to Coast until Adult Swim came around. And even though Adult Swim added more shows I like than just one, why can't I have my cake and eat it too? With a few wise programming decisions CN could have O Canada and other great cartoons in place of Scooby and DBZ reruns. CN used to not milk their franchises for all their worth.

It's obvious that AOLTW has started to be rating-hungry, but just when CN gets original programming they overkill it.

Here is the ideal Cartoon Network schedual (fictional of course):

7A-8A Hanna-Barbara

Saturday

12P-3P Toonami

What do you think should I be in charge of Cartoon Network's programming or what?

You get the job if you add the Paramount, Lantz, and Columbia cartoons in someplace.

I like how you brought back the Pink Panther and the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and I noticed you seriously cut back on Cartoon Cartoons.


Jack :D

And don't forget the Terrytoons! (Yes, I know, but there's nothing wrong with a harmless fantasy like that, is there?)

Gasp! how could ever forget those? Or the Iwerks cartoons for Late Nite Black and White.


Jack :D

We can have a dream CN without, KRAZY KAT, SCRAPPY, HARVEYTOONS, GANDY GOOSE FELIX THE CAT, FOX AND CROW, OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT..... :D

Time to click your heels three times and head back to Kansas, Dorothy. I've just seen the wicked witch of Burbank a headin' this way - and she's carryin' her EDITIN' scissors!

EEEEEEEEEK!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS! *Runs to nearest hill* (The hill is 2 inches high) Oh drat it.....

[Gossamer]

You got my vote when you listed O Canada and the International Cartoons, but Lantz shorts would be nice too.

[Jimmy Kustes]

Gossamer rocks! I thought I was the only one to like foreign toons. ;)

Anyway I left room for any classics you want in the unedited Acme Hour and Toon heads. Notice how I stress quality over quantity when I decided to show classics only at night so they could be less censored and in their theater format.

Hey, Pal! 'Mind if you squeeze in Inspector Gadget and the Catillac Cats?

I was actually thinking of putting Inspecter Gadget! Instead of an hour of Pink Panther on Monday, I was thinking this would be a good lead in:

Monday

10P Pink Panther
10:30 Inspecter Gadget

I don't know what Catillac Cats is, but if it's an anime it would fit in Adult Swim or Toonami

If it is a short lived show it would fit in perfectly in my custom-made Writings On The Wall: Short Lived Series or something like that. It would have bumpers and promos explaining a half-hour show a la Toonheads. They would air every episode ever made (which wouldn't be much) of short lived series like Fish Police, Aeon Flex, and The Alvin Show. :cool:

"Catillac Cats" was a segment on "Heathcliff".

Hey, how about squeezing "The Raccoons" in somewhere?
Now THAT was a great cartoon!
