Nice to know that Cartoon Network still has one cartoon classic that they want to keep promoting. I'll definitely try to catch part of that! "Thomas? If dat's you in dat icebox....starrrrt prayin!":tomcat: :jerry: :twoshoes:

Make of it what you will but CN apparently kicked out the old VP of programming and hired Marc Buhaj, who handled programming/scheduling for Turner Networks in Asia. The Cartoon Network Japan programming, suffice to say, is 2000 times more reasonable than the one we have here:

While still having a block for 2-6 year olds and an abundance of Cartoon Cartoons, it also has a lot of timeslots for Popeye, Looney Tunes, Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry. Essentially their schedule has the same goals as our country's; it's just they do it BETTER.

I'm not guaranteeing anything and I'm not about to start any sort of argument/flame war. But clearly even Cartoon Network has become fed up with how mundane, unbalanced, and idiotic their scheduling has become, and they brought in a pro to clean up the mess.

That would be nice. I really hope they do something. I used to love Cartoon Network, I like other things besides the old stuff, you know. But they just air so much crap...Baby Looney Tunes airs every day, yet they don;t air the originals at all. They don't show the better Cartoon Cartoons anymore, and I was a big fan of Courage the Cowardly Dog. They dumped the Flintstones. They acquire new stuff, but it's never anything GOOD...and they run the same things, over and over. Every time I tune in, it's bad anime. They just need to balance things out a little more.

Well, that line is left in... but not with the original voice! They dub most of the Mammy cartoons (including Midnight Snack) with a new voice to correct her grammar - and even sometimes mute her voice out! (like in Nit-Witty Kitty when Mammy sneaks up on Tom with the baseball bat)

"Baby Looney Tunes airs every day, yet they don;t air the originals at all."

Sylvester and Tweety mysteries is airing again now. :(

Perhaps this guy could actually put Looney Tunes back on the schedule. I doubt it, but I hope that happens.

I would love to have "The Popeye Show" and "Late Night Black and White" back on CN (hopefully in an hour-long series).
