State of Cartoon Network

ah yeah and at least gumball has not turn like teen titans because the teen titans go sucks also how ben 10 turn from 30 minute show to 11 minute show and the degrading of art and story
-
@Tactical-Ochoa Well Steven Universe has not been renewed yet. So...
-
@cooljay7 I wouldn't be surprised if Steven Universe is next to come to an end, no matter how well it's doing.
-
I'm surprised Cartoon Network still hasn't announced their next miniseries. I liked Over the Garden Wall & despite watching very little Adventure Time, I liked the Stakes miniseries. I think I should stop watching We Bare Bears if creator Daniel Chong leaves the show.
-
@NelsonYeung2 Whatever works for you. I'm not interested in most of Cartoon Network's current shows anyways. The one show that caught my attention the most was Regular Show and I didn't even watched it that much. I really liked Skips though. He was a pretty cool and likable character. Bonus points for Mark Hamill providing the voice for him as well.
-
Honestly, I rather see Adventure Time go instead of Regular Show. I feel as if the quality of Adventure Time has declined.
-
@cooljay7 I've heard of plenty of people saying how Adventure Time had diminished in its quality.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa has the quality declined ?it seems the same to me,well then again I haven't seen any of the recent episodes so I could be wrong
-
@VJ-Philogene I'm not interested in Adventure Time and thus I don't watch it myself. This is just what I heard. Through watching one of PhantomStrider's videos on YouTube, I know that there were two bad episodes that Adventure Time had. One of them greatly undermined Finn as a character. I'm not that concerned about it though. Again, I'm not interested in the series. One thing that is for sure though, the popularity of the series really died down. Adventure Time is just not as big as it was before right now. Maybe it's because of Steven Universe and maybe the quality of the show hasn't been so good lately. Again, this is just what I heard about it.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa well it probably could be true I was watching it with my niece the other day and some of the episodes didn't really sit right with me and I've sort of noticed this with some other cartoon network shows that start off good then just rapidly drop in quality as the series progresses
-
I think it has. It has a lot of filler episodes that make no sense and then in other episodes it has filler for the first 10 minutes of the episode and 1 minute of plot development.

@cooljay7 @VJ-Philogene Regardless of everything that's happening with these current shows, I think that overall shows, such as Adventure Time, Steven Universe, etc, are suffering from seasonal rot. Even Ben 10 is going through this (especially with Omniverse, in my opinion; 8 seasons was too long for Omniverse alone to have). When a series lasts for so many seasons and ideas and a proper direction are starting to run dry, a series goes through seasonal rot where it just progressively and gradually gets worse and its quality diminishes. The original PPG show suffered from this after Craig McCracken left. The Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob Squarepants are going through seasonal rot. Family Guy and The Simpsons are dealing with this. Any show that runs for too long can suffer through this. You can only run a show for so long before you just end up running out of ideas and/or you no longer can provide a proper and strong direction for it. In cases like this, it's usually best to just end the show instead of just struggling to keep it afloat. Gravity Falls only lasted for two seasons but that was what the creator of the show wanted. Craig McCracken didn't want to continue the original PPG show because he thought that it lasted long enough and that it wasn't necessary to continue the series onwards. It's a struggle for creators to pull this off though because networks want the shows to continue so that they could keep earning profits off those very shows. Knowing that Gravity Falls would only last two seasons (20 episodes each), Disney opted to release new episodes as slowly as they possibly can just so the show could last for a very unnecessary almost 4 years. Overall, seasonal rot can really take a toll on any show that lasts for so long.

technically each season only consisted of 10 episodes and if you look at a normal amount of episodes a season usually has for a tv its 20 so technically omniverse had around 4 seasons which is not to long when you think about it.

I came across this podcast by the Nerdist Podcast thanks to shadows59 from FanFiction.net. This is a recent podcast that was posted back in August 2016. It features voice actor Billy West from Futurama on it. What really caught my attention and got me interested was that Billy West actually rants about the way that cartoons are nowadays especially on Cartoon Network (I don't remember if he mentions Cartoon Network but considering what he's describing and ranting about, I'd say that he's referring to CN). If anyone wants to check this podcast out, here's the link to it. I don't remember exactly when in the podcast he makes this rant but it is in the podcast.

there is a item I miss on cartoonetwork it is called the cartoonetwork groovies here is one of them

Update: Adventure Time to end with Season 9 in 2018.
-
@cooljay7 Yeah, it's been trending like crazy.
-
And Yeah Cartoon Network hits the 1 millions Subscribers

@Ben-10-Fan Good for them. Now if only Cartoon Network can stop BSing their fans and viewers and actually display a lot more care and effort into making good cartoon shows. Also, nowadays, I don't find getting 1 million subscribers on YouTube to be as rewarding anymore considering just how often getting that achievement is. Cartoon Network got 1 million subscribers and so did many many many many many many many many many many other channels on YouTube. So yeah, that's not as big of an achievement anymore.
