Live-Action Thoughts
CN's had some before, I thought. But even then, they were treated more like "specials" (like movies); didn't take over the timeslots with reruns. I could probably handle them more if they weren't simply trying to mimick other stations despite the whole "Cartoon"-half of their channel's title. But they're always on whenever I'm home, so I normally steer clear from the channel.
Want to see less of
I want to see less "lol let's just copy those guys" types of shows. In order to set yourself apart from the competition, doesn't it make sense to do what they're NOT doing? I don't need another VH1 incident in my life, thank you.
(Unfortunately, thanks to CN not giving a crap about its viewers that actively do their best despite the unfair timeslot(s), I won't bother with DCNation once its current line-up is over. I might watch at least one of the replacement shows online, but I won't bother unless it's up-to-par or CN at least airs reruns of the current lineup)
Want to see more of
I want more quality shows not be tossed aside, no matter the reason. There are plenty of timeslots that are good times being used for reruns. Really? Like every kid's gonna wake up 10AM exact on a Saturday, or be allowed to watch television every time.
Shows in the current DCNation slot could potentially give "The Legend of Korra" a run for its money. But they're aired at such a dumb time, once a week. I'unno about your kids, CN execs, but most don't watch television like they did a decade ago - gotta get them hooked on something by using an awesome time, and then, after not ruining it by placing it through an unneeded hiatus or two, you let them get hooked, and then maybe switch the hour or day by some.
Current Faves
I very much enjoy the current DCNation block and "Adventure Time". The other animated series are interesting and I'll watch them if they're on and I'm watching television, but they don't make me crave more. I tried giving other shows a chance if I managed to catch them on air, one of the live-action type shows, but it just... seriously didn't appeal to me. I think I also saw an episode of that one movie where the kid sees cartoon mascots, but grew dull when I tried another episode.
CGI Thoughts
(First, watch them online if your television sucks that much, geez. You're probably missing-out on a lot that suit your fancy haha)
I don't mind it. HOWEVER, apparently one of the greatest "why would I want to watch that?" reaction to one of my favourite shows is because it was forced upon them by CN. If the production team didn't want to use it, then they shouldn't have been forced - it lost a lot of potential viewers. Luckily, the animation improves greatly in aesthetics; and some of the animation of the most mundane body-language often forgotten in even live-action is included (so if you get used to the style, it gets very good).
The animation for the "Star Wars" series is pretty boring, but it's not bad. I just can't ever get into the franchise, though, so I can't say much more than that. The "HTTYD" series is of course toned-down from the movie, but one's made for many episodes at a time while the other's a film that took at least a year dedicated on part of its animation haha, but its simpler details are really all I saw wrong with its animation.
In the end, once people stop judging so harsh against CGI for being CGI, the better. It took forever to watch one of the series I now consider one of my top favourites because it looked so boring. Its first few episodes were rough, and had I not gotten attached to the writing and characters, I'd probably never had noticed it gets so much better.
All-Time Faves
I really enjoyed Toonami as a kid, and "Sailor Moon" is one I'm still fairly into (yay remake 2013!), I also have nostalgic feels for "DB/Z" and "Tenchi Muyo" and some "Gundam" series.
As a kid, I watched a whole bunch of stuff I've forgotten about or don't feel the same for anymore, so there's a lot I can't list. But I did truly adore "Foster's" and "KND". (I keep feeling there's another I watched in my teens and loved, but can't recall whoops)
I've watched some of the "Thundercats" remake and liked it, but never finished; I couldn't stand the original as a kid, even though I watched it haha. "Adventure Time" and the current DCNation block ("GLTAS", "Young Justice" wink are also some of my all-time faves.
