Because attracting the 3-9 crowd means advertisers have to pay more for their spots to air alongside said show, which means more $$ in CN's corner. Or something like that. Isn't that one of several reasons why shows like Animaniacs got cancelled? They kept bringing in the wrong demographics for the advertisers? Wish Warners would just finish off the DVD releases rather than stopping dead halfway through... DW I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the substantial and inescapable penalty for early withdrawal. I am Darkwing Duck!

If it's animated, no matter WHAT the subject is, it's still for kids because its animated. Which always give the ol 'knee jerk reaction' to when shows like Zim get canned instead of moving to a later time slot (Or Teletoon and Flapjack which aired Saturdays @ 11) As for Cartoon Network. Why can't they have both. It worked for the first two years of Teletoon, spiting shows based on Day (Pre-School), Afternoon( Kids 8-130, Evening(14-17) & Night(18+). Of course that was before the incident... *Quote:* For TRUTH!

I haven't posted here in maybe a year and these two sentences have awoken me...with rage. Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! is quite possibly one of my favorite shows on television right now [I don't really watch much tv obviously]. I can understand where you're coming from though because of how mentally hilarious some of the segments are, but finding that one nugget of sweet sweet corn immersed in crap is really worth it sometimes. And hopefully season cinco is the last one, as the crap to comedy ratio is falling out of whack =/ Also! on topic, Cartoon Network has been pretty bad lately and I don't really expect things to pick up at all. Current things rarely beat out tried and true nostalgia.

Sega 05: "However, it appears to have become dominated by a single, zealous individual." Sega 04: "Yes it has. We must take it back into our own dominion." Sega 01: "It is time.

Well Psxphile, the new CEO of cartoon network decided that naruto was "TOO VIOLENT" & should not be shown on regular CN, & Adult Swim for whatevert reason wasn't interested in picking it up. so yea Blame CN's newest CEO Stuart Snyder for the lack of Naruto on CN. Casue kids don't want anime, no they want half-a$$*# reality shows that parody other shows, yeah thank goodness those will most likely be gone within a year. but yea no shippuden on CN, heck there still debating weather to air PPGZ or not, stupid aniphobic jerk.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	i'd have to agree about the shippuden thing, i'm not sure where they are at in japan as far as the anime goes but the manga's got some pretty violent parts. i don't see why adult swim wouldn't pick it up though. bleach is the only show that they're playing new episodes of it seems like. on the other hand i really don't watch CN outside of adult swim, i don't have any interest in their shows anymore. ------------------ We are fighters "We are intelligent people who fight from the heart. We are the truest athletes there are. We're what the people write about, cry about, and who they want to see: the pure warrior that comes out and just lays it all out on the line. We do it for pride, for heart and for the love of the sport. We don't make tons of money, yet we give our lives for what we do without regrets of fear."

YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE NARUTO SHIPPUDEN!! Bah, I can do without Shippuden. It's gotten pretty terribad, especially with Kishimoto's inexplicable infatuation with Sasuke, who might just be the least interesting character in all of everything. My real gripe is their mistreatment of the Funimation One Piece. I know 4kids made an abomination who's crimes shall not be numbered for they are too many, but dammit it's the best shonen show on the market! Give it the respect it deserves dammit! Also Adult Swim not picking up Black Lagoon or Gurren Lagann pretty much solidified the idea that they just aren't interested in anime much anymore.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	i think people lost interest in one piece because after what felt like two years, they were still in alabasta, and it's taken them forever to go anywhere in the pages of shonen jump. it has more chapters and episodes then both bleach and naruto, but they never went anywhere with it. kishimoto's obsession with sasuke seems to be weaning due to his new "kill everyone" attitude versus his "avenger" attitude. he's not a very interesting character anymore. ------------------ We are fighters "We are intelligent people who fight from the heart.

What with the Filler Hell and Soul Society and all.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	agreed, but i was thinking more along the lines of cn would sparingly play new episodes of one piece, so it seemed like the arc took forever. ------------------ We are fighters "We are intelligent people who fight from the heart.
