Is Bullwinkle Getting A Bum Rap On CN?

[Nelson]

I need to know why is Bullwinke getting mistreated on Cartoon Network?

To think that there were 360 epsiodes made and CN only shows the greatest tv cartoon ever made to only two airings a week and during the wee hours of the morning??? It doesn't make any kind of sense to me at all on how CN is badly is treating this cartoon series.

CN SHOULD bring this show back to it's prime time schedule, say around 10 or 11pm and bring the classics back to prime time.

I get it every morning at 6am here in Chicago on WCIU-26 (the 'U). I personally don't like CN's airings because they don'ty show the real openings - it's "THE BULLWINKLE SHOW", not "ROCKY & BULLWINKLE". I wish CN would just show the correct opeings and not their porrly created version... :mad:

You better believe it. This is a show that could easily fit into the daytime slots and go forever without repeats. Instead, we get hour after hour of Scooby-Doo.

Remember one of the key things here: AOL Time Warner doesn't own Rocky and Bullwinkle. Airing the show in prime-time, unless it gets tremendous ratings (and corresponding ad rates) doesn't do anything for corporate synergy.

Running Scooby, or more importantly, finding a new 'hot' cartoon like the Powerpuff Girls and running that into the ground in pime-time so you can sell the kids T-shirts, book bags, sheets, towels, breakfast cerial, etc., is what's going on here. Those cartoons are given the prime spots because if they have a breakout Cartoon-Cartoon show, it's abrand new big revenue streeam.

AOL Time Warner knows the Warner Bros' characters are going to sell even if they play Bugs and Daffy around the fringes, so they still get decent air time, but not in the way CN used to when the netwrok first went on the air. But they don't own the moose and squirrel (or Popeye's rights, for that matter) so they get shunted to the overnight hours.

It's really sad that such a classic cartoon show can only be seen during late viewing hours and only once a week , I mean CN shows "Scooby Doo" all day long and all night long with the other Scooby programs that I can't stand and Bullwinkle gets the shaft from the cable channel.

In my opinion that when CN brought the rights to air the classic series, that the company would be upset that how B&R are getting mistreated badly by this network....GOOD GRIEF

360 EPISODES AND ONLY SHOWN TWO AIRINGS ONCE A WEEK ????

Boy Cartoon Network, get your act together and bring this show back into prime time :mad: :mad: :mad: I think that more cartoon fans would want to see the moose and squirel more than those awful home made crap.

Wait wait wait

First off - I thought that Cartoon Network doesnt even have the rights to all episodes of the show? isnt there a large chunk of the later storylines (Namely everything from Goof Gas Attack on upwards) that CN cannot air?

Secondly - it doesnt matter when they air it. PERSONALLY I love R&B, but I know a lot of people that abhor it. :( But thats beside the point - If the ratings arent the best then thier not gonna pump it out at maximum. And R&B while a lot of you guys may like it - isnt everyones cup of tea. Even if it is witty and a smartly written show.

Personally I liked the late night showings of it cause since I'ma night owl I did watch it a lot...I do miss that...

Thirdly - They dont even really own the series but pay to play em or something like that right? So its not **ALL** CN's fault...
