The day after the special, TOONHEADS:THE WARTIME CARTOONS has come and gone, one has to wonder in what direction will Cartoon Network take after this special, in terms of politically incorrect cartoons to be shown on their network.
First off:Like Jerry Beck said yesterday, that CN was taking a BIG RISK in showing these cartoons during a primetime schedule, so I must tip my hat off to them for doing it with a lot of courage and guts.
"Adult Swim" which doesn't debut until Sept.2, and in some way I'm a little disapointed with the programs that will appear once it begins.My opinion on this matter is this.... I think CN still fails to realize is that the adult audience would love to see at least a special show featuring these PIC cartoons in some kind of a special weekly showcase, It's good that CN want's to look out for their adult viewers, but hardly doubt it if every adult want's to see brand new cartoons(during three hours) and not see any kind of old classic cartoons that's geared just for the adults.
I hope that last night's special get's huge ratings, so that CN will understand that there is a place for these cartoons to be shown on their channel, and that they do have a huge audience for these types of cartoons.
