Finn and Jake
Flapjack was nominated for an Annie Award,
so that shows that others don't have the same opinion.
I'm not surprised that so many responses here would be negative,
as adults and teens probably shouldn't expect to like children's programming.
Plus, there's always the option of changing the channel.
And if you want 'better' cartoons to come out,
and don't like any on CN right now, that's just tough luck for you.
CN is going to premiere about 5 new original series in 2010, so there might be something there.
It's not the fact that must of us are teens and adults it just that they took all the good shows off CN and added in crap such as "CN real" i mean wtf it's a cartoon channel what does it need real shows for.And on top all of the CN real shows suck.Flap jack is ok but it gets annoying after awhile chowder is ok.but everything else is trash.And im not the only one that does not like whats on CN rite almost everybody n this forum agree's.
What makes a good show is subjective to each person.
And I don't agree, which means that at least one person on this forum doesn't agree, which is not everyone.
Teens and adults will most often see the cartoons they grew up with in a much better light, it's called using nostalgia goggles.
And you really expect to like shows that are geared towards little kids, when you're older than 12 (maybe even 11)?
CN Real is pretty much crap. That's why it only has about 2.5 hours of airtime each week, and has had half of its shows canceled.
But it's live action, which I'm pretty sure isn't a cartoon, or any type of western animation. So CN Real talk belongs in the entertainment forum.
Once you pass the age of about 13-15, CN couldn't care less about you. Especially if you're not male.
Their target demographic are mainly young boys, they've been trying to reach out towards the teen male age group (hence CN Real), but their main target hasn't really changed.
CN may hit slumps now and then, but the fact that they're still in the top twenty networks shows that they haven't sunk.
It's just a cycle, though. Many of the kids today who lean towards the ignorance spectrum will grow up and bark about how awesome Chowder, Flapjack, or Ben 10 was, and how the future cartoons are horrible.
When PPG first came on, the reviews were mixed. It was during CN's early days, so many of the adult reviewers wanted to see more stuff from the 70s, 80s, maybe even farther back (Tom & Jerry, for example) instead of this new-fangled stuff.
