The worst move CN has ever made while I was around to witness it was the canceling of Flapjack. That was probably my favorite show ever done on the network.

I guess I could see *why* they canceled it, but I really wish they hadn't.

I used to love to watch all of the Cartoon Network shows, especially Toonami, but now , I only seem to watch Adventure Time, Regular Show, Amazing World of Gumball, a couple of Pokemon episodes, and Cartoon Planet.
Now they have all these stupid shows that I don't even like. I just think Cartoon Network is losing it's charm like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. It seems like each channel seems to be good for only one or two shows, which isn't good.

Wait a sec, the guy who created Regular Show, J.G. Quintel, is the same guy who created Flapjack, so maybe he canceled that series for the making of Regular Show perhaps?

Disney's change was long drawn out and expected, it wasn't really a surprise.
Nick became Disney, but they where always hybridized b/w live action and cartoon.

Cartoon Network was focused on Cartoons but after that Jimmy's world and the Adult Swim Boston Bomb Scare, the cancer became apparent
They focused less on making cartoons and they started leasing popular cartoons from canada, some where good most where shit. They dumped all their money into this and started making live actions shows b/c they wanted disney's market share.
When unsurprisingly, they started losing viewers they started producing shit again, but they ignored most of their pilots and didn't give new shows time to become popular and good

just look at the progression and eventual death of cartoon cartoon Fridays.
When it peaked it was purely just cartoons, then the madness of CN Real and destroy build destroy occurred.

I remember watching a ton of The Powerpuff Girls as well.

The voice of HIM (otherwise known as the red lobster beard human thing) used to scare me as a kid though, lol.

It was a voice with a high-pitched falsatto with another voice running a couple of pitches lower at the same time, and then topped of with a echo delay at the end. It was pretty frightening at my age.

Also, my sister just finished every episode of Johnny Test on Netflix (as there are about 100 of them), and keeps bugging me about hilarious moments in certain episodes. It's sickening.

Uhh Nick started to gear their shows towards absurd simple humor instead of intelligent shows that weren't afraid to show kids something they thought they'd never get

Also in general disney and nick has geared their sitcoms towards tweens instead of just kids. And the themes have changed from adventure and self-discovery to wacky hijinks

If that's the case then I'm even more disappointed.
