Cartoon Network Will NEVER Learn... by Vailskibum94

The reason Cartoon Network is at this annoying position is because they want more shows like Johnny Test & Teen Titans Go.
And at the end of a lot of CN shows like Chowder, Grim Adventures, KND, Fosters, and My Gym Partners A Monkey just to name a few, the characters become more out of character and more louder, courageous and sometimes unbearable to the point where the fourth wall is broken all the time.
CN I think just prefers airing shows that are more wacky, with mixed genres and acting certain ways rather then focusing on its quality with other shows. That might be why other CN shows over the years have been given a bad treatment, The only show that didn't get this treatment is Alien Force and that was because it was really popular, especially enough to get marathons. So I think its safe to say CN is staying with this route of only airing and attempting to create more wacky series rather than decent/good shows which is why Gumball and Titans air all over.the network until their next show decides to be more like this. -

Considering everything that's been happening with Cartoon Network in recent years (from cancelling great shows such as Young Justice
Young Justice isn't cancelled unlike Ben 10 omiverse
You'll never find a safer place for all LGBTQ+ people than this Ben 10 Club profile.

With the gumball show that show was shit. So it isn't a loss that if it gets cancelled.

Who thinks this minisode might actually be a good show on Cartoon Network? The name is "Welcome To My Life" here is the video: https://youtu.be/idT98H8TK-U

Cartoon Network, I really hope when all these new shows pickup and air, they'll do successful
Because Apple and Onion, Welcome to My Life, Infinity Train, Craig of the Creek, Summer Camp Island, these faction of shows need to be the ones to kickstart the next generation.
Also in other news, I just looked into it on Toonzone and other sites
Ben 10, and PPG are doing well internationally, while TTG is only doing good for the American audience, I really question where this is going to lead to...It's Action Time!

#FuckBen10Reboot
#FuckTeenTitansGoI should have known Cartoon Network's loyalties isn't in to the audience (which are US) . It's to the stockholders.

Well I mean duh
Cartoon Network only cares about profit, color, and wacky hijinks, if any of the shows they air don't have them, then they don't get any screen time at all. Which goes for a large faction for a lot of CN's shows, in fact that's why they don't pick up a whole lot of shows we like, or take forever, like OK KO (which I love), Infinity Train (which I love), and of course Welcome to My Life (ABSOLUTE LOVE) -
@Ebomnitrix Link to the Toonzone article?

I forget which article I found it but its under the CN area, sorry I didn't link it earlier.
However there is a discussion on Toonzone that explains the lacking of Steven Universe, also explaining why CN has the shitty schedule they have, I'll copy and paste for you all to read:"Steven Universe is a lore heavy show (or "story driven" as my boss put it) and therefore lacks "replay value". The network intentionally airs little SU because it's already seen the future seasons of the show and management has already pre-determined which episodes will get high ratings and which ones won't. The townie episodes as of late contribute to the overall story minimally, but don't make sense without prior viewing of previous episodes and understanding of the overall plot. SU's target demographic (10-13) along with the network's (5-13) largely wouldn't be able to comprehend episodes that are townies, boring and connected to the plot. (CN knew this for a while, this is why anime was regulated to Toonami on Saturdays) Therefore, CN airs these usually once a week, without any orders to us (IT, specifically the graphic designer division or the employee who runs the twitter account (he's an SU fan)) to do promos.
However, the network does plan (and did with the Space Arc and New Crystal Gems) to air many promos and online ads targeting SU's unintended older draw (you) to watch on TV or the App as part of their online launch. (Yes, they're looking into live-streaming as well).
So that's the deal. Teen Titans Go and Gumball take up like 50% and 35% of the schedule respectively, because those shows make stand-alone episodes that are enthralling for the demographic. SU's kind of in a snooze period with episodes that are uninteresting. When the cool episodes about lore come, CN stockpiles those eps. (bomb-format) with standard TV promos and usually Peridot twitter take overs."
To keep it short, if a show is episodic and has little plot, then it gets all the air time, but if each episode is heavily story-driven, then you only get to air once a week and get severely crapped on, does that make sense?
It's Action Time!

@Ebomnitrix Didn't Cartoon Network used to rerun a lot of their story-driven shows in the past like Ben 10 and Teen Titans and what not. I seem to recall seeing that a lot on the channel and I also seem to recall that viewers, like myself, didn't find this to be a problem because at least most viewers already saw these episodes before and therefore already know what's going on. I'm not buying that bullshit. It is completely fine to do reruns of story-driven shows; especially when you rerun them in the correct order of continuity. I recall that AMC does this whenever a new season of The Walking Dead is coming out.
If some viewers out there don't understand what's going on in certain episodes of a show because they didn't see the previous episodes, then they can always just go and look up the show itself and watch it in the correct order of continuity so that they can understand what's going on. Hell, watching reruns of story-driven shows can help newcomers understand what's going on. Again, my example of AMC doing rerun marathons of The Walking Dead to build things up for a new season. If you don't do reruns of story-driven shows while new episodes/seasons are coming out, newcomers aren't going to understand what's going on.
That's one of the points of reruns. To introduce newcomers to a show. I mean like christ, with the way that they structured the Powerpuff Girls and Ben 10 reboot, the new generation might as well go and look up and watch the old shows because both those reboots don't do proper introductions to help build up what's going on in the shows. Even episodic shows with little plot do this. Why? Because the creators of those shows want their viewers to understand what's going on so that they can stay around and continue to watch these shows. Networks are always doing reruns of their shows, both the episodic ones with little plots and the heavily story-driven ones.
So yeah, again, I find this to be bullshit. It's completely fine to air reruns of story-driven shows because of what I already explained. The people at Cartoon Network are freakin idiots to think otherwise. They had done stuff like this before and it worked. If it worked before, it can and still work today.
