They used to do TTA, right after Animaniacs on Sunday. Now I don't know where they went.

Freakazoid on late-night? I thought he was on a 5:30 AM!

Did I say late night, I mean early in a morning 4:30 AM Central Time.:D

They also used to show Taz-Mania & Road Rovers. And once upon a time, they had a very special Friday night showing of Pinky & the Brain; on another very special Friday night showing CN saw the first of F!. Anyway, I'd agree on everything but P*k*m*n, but with my luck & especially with the K beast running the whole shooting match, it's the one most likely to get on. And stay on. And be shown. And shown. And shown. To death. More often than the Sc**by Doo stuff. If such a thing is possible. And if it is possible, you can bet that the K beast will find a way.

My guess is that they'll be heading back over to Nick in the next few months, at least that's the last thing I remember hearing. Also, wasn't A! about to start airing on Nick this summer or so? Whatever the case may be, I'm not looking forward to that, with what they did to the P&TB intro.


Though CN is a better place for these shows, would they end up airing late at night like Freakazoid, since CN is cramming their schedule with a ton of other things?

Pokemon...on TOONAMI???? Pokemon, on Toonami. Pokemon on Toonami?!? Pokemon on Toonami....

I keep on pinching myself hoping this is just a bad dream but it isn't!

I would add "Earthworm Jim" and "Duckman" to your list. "Duckman would be a nice addition to the Adult Swim line-up if one of the shows fails.

Pokemon gets enough airtime on Kids WB, so it doesn't need to be seen on CN.

I would like to see Taz-Mania and Tiny Toon Adventures on CN, though.

I think that Dr. Katz deserves to be on. I think that Comedy Central has also given up on The Tick, that was something I'd love to see on CN. Also, anything that is not Scooby Doo or a Cartoon Cartoon. How they can get away with so much repitition is absolutely mind-boggling.

How about some Lantz and DePatie/Freleng (Pink Panther, Inspector, Ant and the Aardvark)

Danielle

I think Inspector Gadget was on Nickelodeon. And I agree-they should definently air the Pink Panther.

Joe Tully
08-05-2001, 10:49 PM
Actually, Inspector cartoons feature Inspector Clouseau, the main character played by Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther movies (which had the Pink Panther himself in the opening titles, but that was the only animation in the movies. The character got his own series due to positive fan reaction to the Pink Panther's antics during the opening credits!) Sellers did not do voices for the Inspector cartoons, though. I found the Inspector cartoon hilarious, his sidekick Judo always amused me. They solved various crimes in France and everyone but Judo (who I think was from Spain) had a French accent. My favorite episode was The Mad Bomber. These used to air on TNT in the pre-CN days.

Pink Panther was on CN for a while a couple of years ago. This network changes so quickly I need to use a scorecard to keep track of the programming.

And I agree they need to give the constant expansion of original programming a rest.

Though it's doubtful that it will ever happen because they are both owned by 20th Century Fox Television, I'd like to see The Simpsons and Futurama reruns in Adult Swim programming block.

Especially since the reruns are a cash cow ratings-wise for the various syndicated stations rerunning "Simpsons" eps.

Speaking of which, the local Fox affiliate here's running a "top 59 episodes" (or was running, since it ended Friday) thing that viewers could vote for (59 eps seeing as how it's WXIN-TV, channel 59 [or "Fox 59" to use its "official" corprate/network-branding name]...which I suppose seems like a rather high channel number for a major commerical TV network-affiliated station [the Fox affiliate in Fort Wayne, IN is on channel 55---not much lower numbers-wise], but I guess Murdoch doesn't care. :-) And I guess if Spanish-speaking TV counts, then Chicago's WGBO-TV on channel 66 probably is the highest channel # that's part of a major commercial TV network [Telemundo in this case] that I've seen [not counting PBS affiliates/those low powered religious- and college-owned TV stations/the likes of PAX]. But I digress :-)


Anyway, I glanced at a few of the eps picked while channel-scanning, and the ones that aired on the last day were from the newer seasons, apparently (the one with a robot in Springfield Elementary School, and the Halloween special where Homer meets a werewolf....feh....). Makes me wonder who was voting for these episodes...

I agree about the Pink Panther, CN needs to pick that series up again. They most likely dropped it because they had to pay for the rights to air it (like the Jay Ward stuff).

Being more of a classsic cartoon fan, I'd want CN to pick up the Lantz cartunes, as well as some others, maybe even "Totally Tooned In" with the UPA and Screen Gems shorts.

And I'd love to see the Simpsons on CN!

Really, CN could do better by diversifying their programming a little more, it feels like Scooby dominates the channel, and they don't even air episodes from all the variant Scooby series anymore. And having original programming is a wonderful thing, but it seems like the network is the "Cartoon Cartoon" Network rather than the "Cartoon Network" now. They dropped all the decent H-B cartoons onto Boomerang, yet they still air "Captain Planet," what a world. I miss "Top Cat."

CN needs to buy rights to more classic cartoons. They should buy the Flip the Frog cartoons, which would be perfect to show on LNB&W. They should also buy rights back to the Lantz and Pink Panther cartoons. They should also pick up the show TOTALLY TOONED IN which has the Columbia cartoons. And since Viacom is part of WB, they could get rights to the Terrytoons! Here's something I'd like to see on the WAT? board (yes there are some edits in the program, since these would most likely be cut):

Acme Hour-Saturday 9PM-11PM

"Hare Ribbin'"-edited
"The Framed Cat" (MGM, Tom and Jerry)-edited
"Grape Nutty" (Columbia, Fox and Crow)
"Olive Oil for President" (Famous, Popeye)
"Porky's Cafe"-B&W
"Woody Dines Out" (Lantz, Woody Woodpecker)
"Little Wise Quacker" (MGM, Barney Bear)
"Blunder Blow" (Popeye)-redrawn, edited
"Meatless Flyday"
"Flying South" (Terrytoons, Heckle and Jekle)
"Puss n' Toots" (MGM, Tom & Jerry)-edited
"Rushing Roulette"
"The Legend of Rock-a-Bye Point" (Lantz, Chilly Willy)

What do you think?

-Thad:D

Jack
08-06-2001, 12:36 PM
Well, the Columbia and UPA shorts would be edited, Jerry Beck mentions that they had to edit the blackface gags for the sindicated TV series (the original cartoons in the Columbia vaults are unharmed), they also had to rescore parts of certain cartoons because Columbia had lost the rights to some of the songs. So, the series does have a few setbacks, outwieghed by getting to see cartoons not on TV since the 40s and 1957, though.

They also need to give Freakazoid a better time slot, IMO.

BTW, Nickelodion is, I think, owned by Viacom, so that's where you'd most likely see Terrytoons.

I agree, not that any of it's gonna happen. But I do agree. One thing tho: Viacom is not part of WB; if they were connected it'd be a corporate colossus that could smash Fox & Disney like a couple bugs. I remember sometime back in the '80's Time Warner & Paramount tried to merge. Didn't work.

That's the strangest thing. About late last year, I heard that Stan Lee Media was going to revamp Mighty Mouse with dual airings online and on Nickelodeon. But since SLM went belly up, the deal must've been smashed.

Then, a couple of months ago, I heard that MTV is developing a lot of animated projects, including Mainframe/Wizard's Gatecrasher, and one of them is a new version of Heckle and Jeckle. So, if anything comes out of Viacom with Terrytoons properties, it'll likely be a new project as opposed to the classic shorts.

Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom, but I don't think they would air Terrytoons. They recently (if you'd call two years recent;))dropped the Looney Tunes.

And remember, just like Cartoon Cartoons control Cartoon Network, Nicktoons control Nickelodeon.

Symptoms: Classic cartoons slaughtered by PC cops, AwOL-TW.

Disease: Scooby-Doo, Cartoon Cartoons and Cap'n Planet (which really encourages people to trash the enviroment)

Cure: Slaughter the scared cows. Get rights to Lantz, UPA and Scrren Gems cartoons/cartunes. Expand Weekday "Acme Hour" to 3 hours from 3:00-6:00. Produce new "Toonheads." Get rid of the CN logo when showing the classics. Enlarge the logo when showing Cartoon Cartoons.

Start editing and cutting Scooby-Doo, Cartoon Cartoons, like they do with REAL cartoons. Don't let "Samari Jack" promos ruin your mind. Boycott. Stop the merciless trashing of Classics for the benefit of their new garbage. Stop the hypocrisy.

I agree that it's going too far, to contend that Pokemon ought to be taken off the airwaves. There are folks around who like it, and those of us who don't can always excercise our option to not watch.

Nftnat
08-07-2001, 06:58 PM
True, SL, but when one show dominates the lineup, getting timeslot after timeslot, knocking all of one's favorites off the schedule in the process; one might be understandably nonplussed @ said show. When P*k*m*n was added to the sked, A!, BTAS, MIB, P*tB, STAS, & TTA reruns were also there; now? To paraphrase the Shawnee chief Tecumseh, "Where today are the Tiny Toons? Where the Batman, the other Animaniacs? ... They have vanished before the avarice & oppression of K*lln*r / anime as snow before a summer sun." I realize it's far from the same thing, but you get my intent I hope.

Sharklady
08-07-2001, 07:53 PM
Certainly I'm unhappy about the shabby treatment those good WB cartoons got.

That's a seperate matter, from whether Pokemon ought to be on the air *at all.*


Moderation In All Things

Pokemon as a show I don't have a beef with... I've seen much worse.

Pokemon as half of KWB's lineup is just way too much. ANY show that got shown as much as Pokemon did would get annoying after a while. All things in moderation, especially psychadelic animals that say their names over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Joe Tully
08-07-2001, 09:00 PM
Boycott. Stop the merciless trashing of Classics for the benefit of their new garbage.

Right on. I hope that everyone else does the same thing I do when Scooby or other filth comes on, which is CHANGE THE CHANNEL. That, or turn the thing off. I know that I used to sit thru Scooby just so that I would have the channel on when the next program started, but the only way that we are going to get this junk off of the air is by refusing to watch.

Nftnat
08-07-2001, 09:46 PM
Hatter made the point I was trying to make. There's just too much of it. If it was on the same footing with the other toons it'd be different, but what's been going on, 10 eps a week... I hesitate to call it a cancer, & I know there's those who like it, but there is such a thing as too much. It's the same with Scooby Doo over on CN.

BourgeoisBuffoon
08-07-2001, 11:10 PM
Bah....maybe Pokemon woulda stayed popular if they did not air all those episodes. I can tell you the majority of the people who use to like it got sick of all that airtime; the show kinda wore off after a while because of seeing it all the time.

As for Scooby, well, I always thought it had been a good show, something to pass the time with while waiting for the show I REALLY wanted to see...till they made the first video outta it. Then in Cartoon Network after that Scooby was being aired nearly every single moment...and I swear that they cut off some show's theme songs or credits just for more Scooby promos and commericals! Sounds dumb there, yeah-but it could be a subtle way to get Scooby in on other show's slots...:eek: !

Here is what CARTOON NETWORK should get on their network.
Terrytoons
Walter Lantz Cartoon Collection

Columbia/Screen Gems
Pink Panther & Friends
Silent Cartoon Showcase
The Max Fleischer Cartoon Library Politically Incorrect Cartoon Festival
The Ub Iwerks Cartoons Linus The Lionhearted
The Underdog Show
Hoppity Hopper
Cool McCool
Huckleberry Hound
The Alvin Show
Beany And Cecil
Yogi Bear

So that's what they should get or bring back...forget that pure crap cartoons like, Pokemon, Earthworm Jim, Soniv The Hedgehog, Inspector Gadget, and all the other crappy cartoon shows.Just give us the classics :D

08-10-2001, 11:25 AM
Yeah! SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog needs to be shown! Still cannot believe it ended on a cliffhanger....and oh, yeah, Sonic, Gadget, EWJ, and Pokemon are not crap, as Svenen and Jowy said; they each have large cult followings that would argue otherwise. Sonic in particular gave us a serious cartoon with emotion and plot; most 'classics' gave nothing but a cheap laugh.

The Mad Hatter
08-10-2001, 01:13 PM
Ack. Impending flame war ahoy.

Allow me to try to defuse this by asking the obvious question: isn't there plenty of room for both old and new? Of course we should be able to see the classic cartoons, since they were extremely innovative for their time and hold up well even today. It would be completely foolhardy to ignore this rich library.

On the other hand, it would be equally foolhardy to automatically dismiss any attempts at new animation because "they're not like the classics." Of course they aren't, the creators are trying to do something original. And if we don't allow modern animators to try new material and, yes, frequently stumble, where will we get new "classics" from?

Personally, I see no reason why older and newer cartoons can't peacefully co-exist on Cartoon Network. The classics do frequently get the short end of the stick on the network, but that complaint isn't going to get me to automatically disparage their new shows, which they have every right to promote as they see fit. (And they're not generally over-used, like with KWB and Pokemon... frequently CN will take the Powerpuff Girls off the air for a time to keep it fresh.) But of course this promotion shouldn't come at the expense of what has come before.

But a good point was made: CN needs to lay off the Scooby Doo.

Nftnat
08-10-2001, 01:33 PM
Hear hear, Hatter. There should be room for the old & the new. There's a place already set up for the old stuff, if CN had the will to show it; it's called Late Night Black & White. But as of yet, no Bosko, on Buddy, no Iwerks, no nuttin' of what Nelson said. No one's fault but CN. @ the same time, there's a place for the toons others have mentined: Toonami. What CN could do is cut back on the late night Scoobies for an expanded LNB&W; push it back into the wee smalls to make sure no one is watching who shouldn't be. There could also be room for an extra dose of Toonami, somewhere. Rotation is the name of the game, on CN & KWB. Keep things fresh; don't let the stuff we love get stale. And know that it will return. We'll just have to make sure my dream comes true, that there would be a Warner toon channel (Toon TV), where there would be a better chance of seeing the old Warner toons. @ the same time, a Toonami channel could take some pressure off the other end (it's been so long since I've seen Transformers, Star Blazers, the original Voltron, etc.). And CN? It would show the best of all genres, maybe selecitons of what's available on other channels. As to toons owned by other companies, well, CN could also rotate those on their programming, unless an idea I posted on Termite Terrace a while back takes off & those other companies get together to make Cartoon Land. In the meantime, there is a place where these classic cartoons should be seen, where they were meant to be, where they originally were, as lead-ins to the movies that currently air on AMC, TCM, & FXM. If that would only occur to someone. And if someone had the guts to try it.

Jowy Blight

Isn't that why Boomerang was made?

Jack
08-10-2001, 02:26 PM
I agree that there is room for new stuff, even if I don't like some of the new stuff. I doubt the creators of the old classics wouldn't have wanted the medium to die with them, it has to move on, like it did after all the old theatrical studios closed.

There's plenty of room for CN to have a HUGE selection of cartoons, and not all shows have to be daily. Cartoon Cartoons aren't the main airtime grabber on CN, Scooby is. Scooby is CN's Pokemon. He was on for, like, five hours straight yesterday! They should, at most, put the dog on for one hour a day, and don't dedicate so many Cartoonolios to him.

And I really hope Pokemon never makes it to CN, having it air constantly on KWB is enough.

Boomerang was made more for the Hanna Barbera cartoons, even thought it does show Looney Tunes (the old Looney Tunes still get big ratings). I don't have Boomerang, and I don't really think too highly of it. The whole idea, to me, seemed more like "lets toss this crap out of our channel and put it on another network!" CN still acts like it shows the H-B cartoons and they will use the old HB characters to put in silly commercials, but they won't show the cartoons.

No, Boomerang was made mainly for originally-on-TV stuff, such as Hanna-Barbera. In case you don't know, CN is in many more houses than Boomerang. Many people with cable television, such as myself, don't even get Boomerang.

Nftnat
08-10-2001, 04:07 PM
Calm yourself; I in no way mean to say that there should be any lessening of the real classics (as oopposed to Boomerang classics). But I do think there should be showings on the classic movie channels. Look @ it this way; the toons would be more likely to be uncut. Dripalong Daffy originally aired as the lead-in to the movie Dial M For murder; you think the audience for that would be nonplussed @ a horse hockey line being left in? Here in Arkansas, the public tv station had something on Saturday nights, Good Times Picture Show. They'd show a classic movie; @ "intermission", the host would phone one of the stars of that movie & they'd talk. What I remember is that the old cartoon lead-ins were left in. That's how I was first introduced to Hollywood Steps Out. I really think there's a place for the toons on the classic movie channels, but IN ADDITION TO their current times on CN; you think I'd want to do what CN did & pull all Warner toons into one place which would be the only place they could be seen? Certainly not. I just don't see why there couldn't be opportunity to see these tons as they originally were.

CN needs another "Wartime Cartoons" special in place of a scooby doo (improper capitalization intended)

Some canadates:
"Plane Daffy"
"The Ducktators"
A better copy of "Scrap Happy Daffy"
A WWII Popeye or Superman

Also, start needlessly censoring scooby doo to make the shows run 50% shorter. There will be an extra spot for rotating Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones and Tex Avery shows. Director tribute shows for Friz Feleng and Bob McKimsom should join the rotation. (so nothing goes stale)

If Ted Turner was a true enviromentalist, he would never let captain planet from causing everyone to trash the earth and kill endangered species on purpose.

Coal Black and Tin Pan? (Hey! Anyone can dream...)

Matthew Hunter

Yes, there are LOTS of cartoons that need to be brought back to life, CN would be a prime candidate. I never much liked "Taz Mania" or "Road Rovers", but I did think "Sylvester and tweety Mysteries" was good enough to be on CN...it actually did air a couple of years ago on the European version of CN, I saw it myself while in Paris. Here's a list of stuff I think is worthy of being brought to or returned to CN:

______
The Pink Panther
Yogi Bear
Top Cat
Inspector Gadget
Tiny Toon Adventures
Pinky and the Brain
Walter Lantz cartoons
UPA cartoons
The Simpsons
the original "Alvin Show"
George Of the Jungle
Animaniacs
Speedy Gonzales
The Inspector
Garfield and Friends
Batman Beyond
Capitol Critters
Disney cartoons
Speed Racer
Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
Men In Black

-and many more. I don't hate "Scooby Doo", and I don't hate some of the new "Cartoon Cartoons", but CN needs to do some pruning to their lineup....like cut down on Scooby and Cartoon-Cartoon reruns. Scooby needs to go back to the way he was shown when I first got CN...a rotation of the many variations of his show in hour-long blocks, in primetime every night. Cartoon Cartoons should get the Friday night block, a primetime weeday rotation of one or two half-hours of different series per evening, and then a Saturday morning lineup after the 4-hour "Looney Tunes Show", if they have to. And instead of all those Saturday afternoon blocks of Scooby Doo and Cartoon Cartoons, why not return the variety "Super Chunks", and include some of the classics they have now relegated to the hard-to-see "Boomerang", and maybe sprinkle a few of the shows I listed above. I think the classics like Looney Tunes and the new stuff like Cartoon Cartoons should take precedence, (Looney Tunes, MGM and other classics mainly) but they need to include other stuff, too.

Sveven, why don't you want Walter Lantz and UPA cartoons? The only explanation you've given is that worrying about MGM, WB, and Popeye cartoons is too much for you already and that you aren't used to them. You aren't obligated to collect from all classic studios, and you may find that you like the Fox and Crow, Magoo, Gerald, Andy Panda, Chilly, and Woody...

As for Gerald McBoing Boing, seeing one of those weird cartoons was more than enough...

The Simpsons (one of most disgusting shows)

I agree that Simpsons shouldn't be on CN, but in what way is it disgusting?

CN should show Gargoyles also.

Unfornunately, Disney owns Gargoyles and airs it weeknights on Toon Disney. I doubt it will ever air on CN.

Hm, never noticed Sven said Simpsons was disgusting. Personally, I think the worst is Barney belching and some nudity showing off someone's butt, but otherwise it is not bad.

Actually, in the last season I've noted Homer's injured knee crusting over into a scab, Homer spongebathing a naked hobo, and Homer getting a meteorite up his bum...a lot of Homer-related vileness. I've heard talk of season 13 being a little cleaner, and I hope that's true...plus a return to the lovable oaf of the first five or six years.

I miss the old H-B characters like the Hillbilly Bears, Hokey Wolf, Dastardley and Muttley, Precious Pupp, and Secret Squirrel. I've heard tell they've moved to Boomerang--but hardly anyone even knows about that station. It doesn't even have a listing on YAHOO TV.... :( :mad:

Oh, yeah....forgot about the all that stuff of last season. Ugh, the hobo was the worst...still, I'd like to see the old Homer too, but having an eppy star someone else in the family would be excellent...

Wow...........I forgot about all that stuff. The spongebath Hobo thing had to be the worst.
