NEWS: Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang President Christina Miller Steps Down

Good. Maybe whoever steps up can finally make the network stop shilling Teen Titans Go so much.

I don't see why they'd cut down on the most popular and profitable show they have.

I do hope the next president will be more open to action animation, though. It was a pretty big shame those kinds of shows died off.

Actually the block has been losing a good deal of viewership most likely because of the time when they obsessively aired Go at all hours during the day.

So yes it would be wise to cut down on focusing on one show entirely because regardless of how successful it may be people will inevitably get sick of it.

This. I put on Cartoon Network sometimes for my toddler during tyhe day as background noise and only two shows ever air on the channel during the day and that's Teen Titans Go and The Amazing World of Gumball.

It's like a never-ending marathon.

I’ve seen worse. Recently I was looking at the TV Guide and it was 100% Teen Titans Go until Adult Swim came on.

It’s sad really. Cartoon Network still has quite a few shows they have the ability to show, but for whatever reason they keep it to like 5 shows. Boomerang is also not using its potential of being a channel for cartoons from previous generations. Some shows are not even that old on it or some being brand new. Boomerang could be like a Cartoon Network Classic 2.0 channel, but it’s more like a Cartoon Network Classic .5 channel.

Adult Swim is pretty lacking too with relying on all those Fox Animated series like Family Guy and such with a couple good Adult Swim series. Toonami is what redeems Adult Swim these days.

But...from what I understand, action shows don't pull in the ratings like the comedies do, and anyone over age 11 isn't really the demographic CN proper wants. As such, outside of Toonami, I don't watch CN at all.

Keep in mind those syndicated shows bring in consistently higher ratings than what the Toonami block brings in I also think they're not as expensive to air as the anime are so that's why we get them......doesn't explain those dumb live action shows they used to air on Thursdays or the mostly crappy original shows like Perfect Hair Forever, Tom Goes To The Mayor, or Aqua Teen.

Actually Jason Demarco has stated that the anime on Toonami are FAR, FAR cheaper than Family Guy, in fact the Fox acquisitions are the most expensive shows on the block. IIRC they're going to be losing the rights to Family Guy soon.

Also you take that back about Aqua Teen. :<
