      I get that he doesn't like what they did but his sarcasm and ironic humor get really irritating and overly lasting after a while.
      Also, for the episode selection thing0_1533751202956_a3c579d2-dfc5-47c9-b984-6ae6aa94c5fe-image.png
      There is still a selection. I guess they don't put as much work into it as they did, but I feel like he could've worded things better or just blatantly tell the facts. It was funny around the first few seconds of the video, but even if he disliked it, his humor got annoying quick for me

        @ungrateful-wolf Here's the thing though. That guy shouldn't have to give PIEGUYRULZ that tip in the first place and it doesn't excuse the poor structuring and functionality of the website itself. It's such a simple thing to do and yet Cartoon Network still somehow managed to screw it up, which just further shows how lazy and incompetent they are. PIEGUYRULZ also didn't have to change his wording around. The video clearly shows the facts right in front of you.

          I'm not sure that kind of thing is much of a screw-up, the interface needs work, that's for sure, but there are a lot of websites that require you putting your mouse anywhere on the screen that figure out what to do. Maybe some spelling out is needed, have an arrow pointing down next to the season/episode number, but there are a lot of websites that work like that, CN just happened to not choose a better one than that and it can cause some users problems.
          I know the facts are there, what annoys me is that he keeps giving them in a passive "faux enthusiastic" tone all throughout the video and unnecessarily keeps his sarcasm until the end rather than just going ahead and plainly stating them. I know he's not trying to sound annoying to any viewer and that he intends to point out the flaws, but if it's his way to avoid looking like any basic CN hater, he's doing too much. Maybe it's just me, but I felt like he overdid it

              Tactical Ochoa I agree that the cartoon network website, the cartoon network app and their linear network in the united states needs a lot of work.

                Cartoon Network cared more about their app than they are about their TV network.

                    While i do not despise cartoon network, i must admit, they need to get their act together. An example: Their new mega man cartoon is being aired in early mornings on Sundays. That is one of the worst times to premiere a show, and they are still doing this. They need to rethink this, as this is not the way to gather a new audience for their mediocre mega man show.

                      I had learned that cartoon network prefer 11 minute episodes which had tied the hands of the creators who makes the show which in many can limit creative freedom.

                        @ultraalien that was an obvious. The new 11 minute format limits storytelling, and unfortunately, CN doesn't care for stories. they just want mindless entertainment to make small children braindead zombies that will watch their teen titans go marathons

                          @ultraalien That 11 minute episode run time really needs to go. As stated in the video, it limits creative freedom and Cartoon Network is really overusing it.

                            I can imagine a lot of shows that are struggling would have more breathing room if they had 30 minutes. Although some are better with just 11 minutes.

                                I had heard, but i must admit it's rather depressing, considering the show was beginning to improve a little, and showed potential. It wasn't even all that bad. I mean, it wasn't great or anything, but it was enjoyable enough for me to watch.

                                  @tactical-ochoa I agree that the 11 minute run time mandate needing to go. the 11 minute limits that the network placed is not always reasonable for many the writers who makes the shows. It also forced producers to cut corners, look at some of the recent cartoon network shows. shows such as Over the Garden Wall, could have easily been a 22 minute show. Transformers: Cyberverse could had been a 22 minute show but instead they made it 11 minutes unlike previous Transformers shows. Cartoon Network in the U.S on tv now has very little to offer to many people. The many shows they have on Cable TV Ondemand could been used as promotion on their linear network. A missed opportunity and they need to stop neglecting their shows by putting them into death time slots. Cartoon Network has became a victim of their own success in Teen Titans Go a show which little kids would outgrow out of it eventually. Their app also needed to be easy to use instead of people trying to work it and they also needed to give an expansion to include all cartoons.

                                    @ultraalien It's unbelievable just how incompetent and out of touch the people running Cartoon Network are. Time Warner or AT&T or whoever really needs to step in and change some seats around. Get some new and more competent folks to step in and run Cartoon Network. This is getting freakin ridiculous.

                                        I think what would benefit the network most, at this point, would be for them to take a hiatus. nuke their channel and app, take like, a month to reorganize, and return with quality content and management.

                                        Nobody gets to choose how it happens.

                                          @offbeatcat While I do agree that CN needs to take some time to reorganize themselves, I don't think shutting down the channel and app for at least a month would be a smart decision for them to make business wise. They just need to figure out a plan to kick things back up into gear. Reorganize the channel, fix and improve the app, change leadership around, kick those freakin left leaning politically correct ideologues out, etc.
