    Dear robots.

    From watching all of you post on this imageboard, I know you're all old enough to remeber the old toonami, and the old Cartoon network.

    I ask you this. When did our childhood network turn from this...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aBDbeK1igc

    ...to this?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24QMt5nZ8_k&feature=pyv&ad=3210267080&kw=cn%20real

    Someone. Anyone. Please. Talk to me.

    Picture related. If you don't recognize that logo, please, kindly sit the fuck down.

    >>4575971

    It's something called "CN Real". Where it's live action tweens doing stupidshit.

    There are 3 shows.

    The Othersiders: Take Ghosthunters, make ghost hunters tweens. Record bad acting.

    Distroy Build Distroy: Take junkyard wars. Have engineers follow dirrections from tweens. Record.

    Brainrush: Cashcab, on a rollercoaster. With tweens.

    Dear, sweet Jesus.

    The old Toonami was so godly... when I watched that first video, manly tears were shed and an almost palpable wave of nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you OP. I have not experienced something like that for a long time. Those old adverts that they used to run were fuck awesome, weren't they?

    Now, if I happen to be flipping through the channels and stumble across CN, I find that it has all devolved into vapid, boring, unoriginal shit which makes me silently rage. Matches a vapid, boring, unoriginal generation I guess.

    Oh, and when that cunt said "WE'RE DOING A LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION" the first thought to cross my mind was "son, I am disappoint"

    Out of Jimmy's head was the first warning for me. Mixing cartoons and live action only worked for one thing I can really remember.

    Rodger Rabbit.

    >>4576004

    OH! I forgot about the forth show.

    Survive this: Take tweens, and Les Stroud. Make it seem like there surviving out in the woods, with little training, and a film crew.(Or the "Bear Grills" Method).
    Have Les show up asking "Who want's out?" Every episode. Record.

    It was an honor, nay, a duty, good sir.

    That one got to me abit, when she was speaking about "LEGIT INVESTIGATION!", but what really made me actually stop what I was doing and turn around was an episode of Destroy build Destroy.

    The challenge was to bash through four cardboard walls and find flags with weapons picked out by the opposing team. One team picked a bowling ball for the other team, and they cut to a private speaking section. The kid, and I quote, said. "I'm kinda a martial arts expert, so using the bowling ball won't affect me."

    >Martial arts expert

    A tween is a made up term for someone aged from 11-13.

    It stands for In between Teen.

    So basically, a child that doesn't want to be called a child.

    Cartoons in general took on a more..coddling nature, with less violence and more happy like nature.

    And Sponge bob is most likely the worst cartoon I've ever seen.

    No, not really. But their reason for suddenly rejecting it - a rather traditional cartoon that could easily have fit in in the Dexter's Lab, Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo era - after saying they were really interested was that "it's just not the direction the network is going in right now."

    Also, what is it to you? If I decide to speak about what I believe in, and choose to relish in nostalgia, does it hurt you? Does it offend you so much that I have a childhood with good memories as opposed to my father smacking the shit out of me that your memories most likely contain?

    Have read the fukheug 105 post thread yet, only OPS post.

    Back in 1999, You had shows like Animaniacs, pinky and the Brain, and basically shows that weren't afraid to make pop culture jokes and references to past events.

    There were Swat Kats Dexters lab, and basically CN wasn't that mainstream yet.

    Then after 2000, Cn started become More mainstream, and tried to compete with Nickelodeon and shows like Spongebob and stuff, because apparently the eggy stuff like the toonami Add wasn't mass marketable enough.

    Cartoons = funny =comedy = rating =audience = $$$

    The more mainstream it became, the more it had to attrack the mainstrem tweens, not the dorks like us who were alienated 12 year olds without a TV show to call our own. I doubt that CN could start airing 'old school' stuff like DBZ in 3-4 PM after school these days, but I haven't watched CN in that time slot for years.

    You think todays youth would want to watch DBZ and "OVER 9000" today? No, they think family guy is the cutting edge of comedy.

    Basically, execs wanted more ratings, and followed the "less brainy, more whacky" formula, where thy tried to directly compete with Nick and disney channel for the 10-14 category, the Tweens if you will.

    Dragonball (not Z) had about as much potty humor as Family Guy does, they could probably air that if they hadn't censored the dub so much.

    Fine too, this is what I say.

    When you have a following so powerful that the canceling of a eleven year running block starts a great outcry not only from the ones that grew up with it, but the ones that were growing up with it, you have something special.

    For some, Pokemon was a fad. For others, a following.

    This new CN real crap is not a following. It's quick and cheap and pointless. There's no substance in it. No real storyline, no real deep thinking, nothing.

    It subscribes to the "Watch this, laugh now" type of television that I truly detest. If it is funny, I will laugh. I do not need a laugh track to tell me when to laugh. I like storylines, I like deep meanings, and sly adult jokes that kids simply wouldn't understand, but still enjoy the show.

    Watching some 12-14 year old pretend to be "Adult" is detrimental, because the line between children and adult will be blurred.

    I remember that commercial for Toonami all too well. Around the time that Toonami was at it's highest there was a Toonami at midnight which would play the shows aired during the day, but uncensored. Eventually Toonami dropped it's late night segment and the block called Adult Swim took it's place. Adult Swim started out as an excelent block airing the uncensored (Mostly) versions of anime such as Outlaw Star and the various Gundam series. It also started bringing in new anime such as Trigun, Big O, Inuyasha, and others. For a long time it kept it's Western shows, like Home Movies and Futurama, tasteful and to a minimum. If I remember correctly, about two or so years after Adult Swim went on the air, Toonami started going through it's final phases of destruction, airing Western cartoons and Naruto. I haven't watched Cartoon Network in probably three or four years, so I don't remember if or when Toonami crumbled (But I'm pretty sure it did). Adult Swim started getting more attention and for some reason started to curdle like a old jug of milk. The first few pieces of shit that reared their ugly heads were probably 12oz Mouse and Squidbillies. It took a while for the retard audience to kick in, but eventually the entire weeknight lineup was replaced with crap like the Tim and Eric Awesome Show. Personally, I think the should be imprisoned, but they would probably enjoy the anal rape. I haven't turned on Adult Swim in probably two years and probably never will for fear of the shitty programs that must now inhabit that block.

    Its the ADD Generation.

    The non-sequitors in shows like family guy.
    I like family guy personally, but its kind of annoying to see people my age (21+) see it as the pinnacle of humor.

    Also, around the year 2000, the term "lol So randum" started becoming a compliment as someone who was funny.

    Basically, the more nonsensicale you got, the funnier you want, as long as you had a personaly that half the people on the social scale laughed at. (Katies ls laughing at him. Im a dumb freshman. if i want to be popular, i better laugh too)

    Many of us are 90s kids, coming in at the end of the 80s-90s Modern Rennisance for American Animation, and we consequently grew up on those times.

    It was also the period of Education cartoons, where some shows would have to present something educational or relevant for its viewers.

    Consequently, shows were more family oriented then, were parents would most likely be sitting on the coutch with their kid, 'rotting their minds' on the boob tube together.

    Growing up, who watched animianiacs?

    Watch this intro.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA0TS9l_nJE

    Ever feel like they were making jokes when you first watched this show, that were flying over your head, but it didn't matter because the show was expertly written anyway?

    Now watch this show, its the animaniacs episode where they go to hell:

    In the first 60 seconds, You have saddam addressing his country, dropping through a trap door into hell, then a 30s style musical number, a family watching the boob tube watching the facts of life horrified, and Satan referring to himself in his multiple monikers.

    Then the Animaniacs barge in, and referring to the unreliability of the Thomas Guide, and a popular family theme park.

    Sure its LOL SO RANDUM, but then it refers to the past culture history of the united states, entertains the older audiences, and keeps the past relevant.

    Odds are that you might run into the things referenced in this show in the future. You might not understand it, but you are exposed to it, and it feels relevant. You have some sort of attachment to the previous generation.

    Now compare it to Family guy episodes:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GLZQsNa0L0

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P74FW-XiO-8

    the first one was a nod to the older audiences old enough to remember the road runner. To the younger crowd, its a joke that you get or you dont, and theres no incentive to understand it.

    the second one with the deer is a one shot non-sequitor/drawn out joke, saying "This is a joke, you RAFF because it is lol so randum"

    I know that Family guy and Animaniacs are two generations apart, and meant for two completely different audiences.

    But shows are more ratings driven than ever before, where the average Tv has over 9000 channels, and networks are now competing with video games and the internet for your kids attention.

    TV shows were meant to be watched 1 episode at a time.

    Now they're a string of jokes one can jump into when channel surfing, held together by the thinnest of plot.

    If you actually disregard CN and its shit shows, and look elsewhere, you'll find similar epic shows.
    Bleach, Death Note, Darker Than Black, and many others, I'd still consider to be great anime/cartoons.
    I know it's not DBZ, or Outlaw Star, but it's comparative.

    TV shows made today are catering to the ADD generation, and they aren't helping. Like I said earlier, how cartoons named at the 8 -10, and Tween generation are just one joke strung onto another with plot holding them together?


    Well, instead of referential 'past humor', whats happening is that each 6 minute of the segment of the show must have a 3 self contained jokes, where anyone can just jump in and watch, and not really be expected to know how the episode started in the first place. this speed, competition for attention, is also causing a sort of detachment with the past, and how the past is no longer relevant.

    Im sure everyone growing up goes through a personal fable phase of his life, where you assume everything happening to you now has never EVER happened to anyone else before while you're growing up, but its kind of disturbing when you see it in your own siblings who are going into the same high school you just left a year or two ago and is probably going to have the exact same teachers and learn from the exact same books you did earlier.

    Now hes graduating and they and their generation still feel like we're irreverent to them.


    i'm sure everyone older feels like the younger generation are worse off then they are, but the world has changed faster in the past 50 years than the have in the past 4 centuries. And the disconnect between 'generations' can even be among siblings now.

    What I guess what I'm trying to say is: With A Tv and computer in every room, you can pick and choose who you want to talk with, even within your own family. You dont need to even leave your room to be with people you can feel 'soulmates' with at 12, and you can totally ignore your own siblings next door.

    you can pick and choose your own reality, and never be forced to associate with people who are different and challege your view and consider everyone else ignorant and hateful by your standards (emos)

    Personally, It seemed like that phase ended a decade ago while people were still in high school and about to graduate and enter the world, and somehow learned to live with the people around them, assholes they may be. But now the younger 20ish generation at large seems to carry around that smugness: I am only out here in the world to get my shit, and I'm going to go back home to retreat into my carefully crafted world of technology in my home. Hell, I dont even need to be alone out here. the moment I leave class I'm going to stick my head in my cell phone and text everybody I know. I do not need to associate with the people I am walking down the hallway with. You are only navigational hazards for me.

    I guess I'm just expressing raeg at those people who, when they leave class, immediately dig into their phone right away when they leave class, or put their head down. It seems more and more kids on campus are doing that these days. As if they immediatly want to put up a shield between themselves and the unpleasant people who were also admitted into that college and happened to sign up for that class with them.

    I seem to remember hearing that Freakazoid was originally meant to have stayed story driven like it was in the first few episodes and continue to involve Dexter and the other "normal" characters regularly. Other than a few episodes with the Ricardo Montalbahn character, though, it pretty much turned into just Freakazoid on his own. And from there it even drifted away from the cracked out spin on crime fighting model to referential, TV industry humor and Freakazoid just kind of...doing stuff. More or less just Animaniacs but with a blue guy instead. Apparently this happened because Animaniacs was so popular and the network wanted some more of that stuff.

    It was still great and all, but I do kind of wonder what might have been if they had managed to maintain a little more narrative structure and make a comedy show that was still really "about" something.

    Also, Emmit Nervend.

    Also, FLASH ANIMATION!

    forget hand drawn! instead of 1 really good show, we can make 5 different shows fo the same budget, and use KOMPUTARS to animate all of them. give them all a low budget, hire some freshly graduated writers, and choose the one that gets decent ratings for its pilot.

    Not that I don't like fosters, I love how its directed. You need more than a 30 second attention span to enjoy that show, and it taps into the kids imagination and suspension of disbelief.

    Its just that recent shows seem to be driven more by quantity then quality, especially with the internet allowing multiple studios to create projects.

Now CN is filled with a different kind of garbage, which you interpret as 'them damn kids' because you fail to see how the shows you watched were also excrement.

    But fuck man, in 1998, CN was the only one playing that ANIMU GARBAGE on a regular basis.

    Only Sci-Fi was playing Anime on a regular basis, as a Saturday morning movie.

    We had to buy anime on VHS, we werent old enough to participate in the VHS sharing community (and even then we only got 2-3 episodes at a time) Limewire was full of ads, we didnt have broadband, Napster was barely handling mp3s let alone full seasons of anime.

    Fuck, back in 1998, I remember writing Cn to start playing Tenchi Muyo!

    (I regreted it later though, when they actually listened to me.)

    But what can you do now. most of us has broadband, you can buy an ENTIRE SEASOn of anime on DVD, those of us around their 20s have our own money to buy anime, but we dont need to because instead of limewire and that shit, of varying quality, we can torrent WHOLE SEASONS of anime we like, and we can check if anyone is seeding.

    anyone who used the early P2P networks to get anime all too often had to leave their computer on for several days, hoping that a slot on someones server would start transfering, and woudl transfer an entire episode.

    Or you could go on the IRC networks, and skim the networks looking for some guy that might have the eps you're looking for. or you do some social networking and try to find a guy with an FTP full of anime.

    but now you have Torrents, that allow you to join a cloud of people with the same exact file you want, that does it pretty much automatically, and you never need to get to know the people you're downloading from.

    Ambiguities are fun, no?

    Back in early 1990s, me and a couple of families were trading around Simpsons episodes and other cartoons, and then that led to grainy subs of Tenchi Muyo.

    ("hey, we should watch this, they have that woman with pointy hair with naked boobies in a hot spa. Its got to be good because our parents dont want us to see it)

    Also when you look back, everything seems to mesh together, and its harder to put things into context when you're a child, especially since we aren't exposed to the world on the level that most of us are at now.

    FUCK, is that a laserdisk player? I almost begged my parents to get one so I could buy the Laser Disks for Tenchi In Tokyo (39 bucks) and watch the series.

    This thread is just fucking depressing.

    When I was 15 I still kept watching cartoons because of two reasons.

    One, I was unable to get out of the house after homework because I did not had a drivers license or car.

    And two, most offerings of primetime broadcast television just did not appealed to me. (And to this day, most of what they offer still don't appeal to me)

    If it was not for Cartoon Network, I would not be a anime otaku, and I would not even be here.

    Its cool, but not the "ever hopeful" nostalgia bombing classic that OP posted.

    It was basically an Epic MAD video that we all got to watch.

    Technically, a site like youtube can let us make videos like that and upload them, but they'll never reach the nostalgic factor that the Original toonami videos created for our generation.

    Cartoon Network has been going downhill since it started making its own shows. Toonami was the last hurrah.

    In ten years the kids of today will be reminiscing about Spongebob and the like, and complaining the new kids' shows of that day are comparatively low quality. Exactly the same as you guys are doing now.

    Man do we have any r.i.p. tom or toonami wallpapers or something? I need to put a ton of that shit in my wallpaper rotation.

    Also I have such nostalgic memories about it to. I remember coming home after school and watching the early days of toonami when moldar was on kinda just half watched it but was still something on that wasnt stupid.

    Then came tom and the good animes, damn thats what got me started. Outlaw star, gundam, tenchi and all the rest. T.V. was acctually good then, now its just slop.

    Every older generation criticizes the younger one on being on some sort of road to perdition and disaster., including ours.

    But the society in America is changing even faster than it did just 20 years ago due to technology.
    there was TV, and there was the interactive world of society.

    Now theres tv with over 9000 channels, internet, your select group of friends, and society (optional)
    At least we're talking about it, trying to understand it, and not circlejerk bitching about it with no progress whatsoever.

    No, this new generation is legit stupid. And the one before mine that is in the 40-60 age is shitty as well. I can't wait until they retire and my generation inherits the earth in about 10 years. You are about to see the greatest years, and hopefeully we can stick around just long enough so that this new younger generation gets skipped and the generation after them takes over after us.

    Actully i kinda feel bad for the generation that is now in the 40s-60s. When you think about it, they grew up when the entire country went to shit because of the hippys/complainers/liberal tards that sought to change things.

    Ever kid grows up, and for a while thinks his generation is 'the shit'. then he gets older and realizes that hes just like his parents and grandparents at that age.

    For me it was around 18-19.

    It seems like that time of epiphany is now later in life for the newer generation, 20-23 maybe.

    It might be because they're spending less time with their friends and family and in society, learning how to deal with other people, and more time on the cell phone, internet, and surfing through over 9000 channels with shows that make no reference to the past.

    the generations past might be 'old' but they can still teach us stuff we can use. they just need to stop trying to control us once we learned from them.

    "I'm going to teach you everything I know, but in exchange, you must be exactly like me" is the sentiment.

    Also, when the fuck did Cartoon Network buy into this reality TV bullshit? I seriously stopped watching CN aobut 2003 when they pretty much axed Toonami. I remember being pissed when they got rid of Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab started going down hill.

    I'm guessing they started doing that when they figured it would bring in insane amounts of money. So probably 2-3 years ago.

    Yeah, what was up with that?

    They used the ol trope 'less egghead, more wacky', the animation looked like shit and more computer animated, and didn't their voices and personalities change?

    I think i blocked that all out of my mind.
    someone enlighten me.

    Fuck you.

    I remember when I used to think that only my Network carried CN, because no one else used to talk about it.

    I remember the strolling checkerboard pattern, the picnic ants, everything.

    And for a while, i thought the Tex avrey show was boring because it came on so late at night, and broke off from the checkerboard pattern of cartoons that aired from 2 to 4 PM. The power hour I believe?


    i think the Tex Avrey show was one of CN's first foray into a late night show focused for the older crowd, like space ghost coast to coast and moltar.
