How do you feel about the major Kids Networks

I'm not sure if I could include Disney and Disney XD in this post. I'm not much of a Disney fan, mind you, so I don't really watch those channels.

Nickelodeon: I stopped watching it after they show nothing else but Spongebob Squarepants (especially of the post-movie variety), and all of those other tween live-action comedies. Although most of the time, I do watch some of those shows (i.e. iCarly). I'd prefer Nicktoons Network more, since they show great shows that are now thrown off from the main network, such as Avatar The Last Airbender, Invader Zim, and, oh yes, pre-movie Spongebob.

Cartoon Network: No way! Cartoon Network is dead to me now. These days, they show live-action shows, which is a big rip off to the title. Not only that, but they air some of the crappiest shows that ruined what was once the original CN. Some of them that were taken from other channels from different regions. They moved those early shows to their sister channel, Boomerang. Although recently, they're starting to find their way back by broadcasting some of their cancelled original toons.

You do know they premiered The Looney Tunes Show two days ago.

What does that have to do with anything?

Was mainly talking to Wolfman.

I know. But what does that have to do with anything he said?

Exactly. What does that have to do with my opinion? That was quite a random post you put there. Especially since it had nothing to do with mine.

I mean you talk about how CN only airs live-action shows and crappy animation, when in reality they are trying to make an effort to make themselves better.

Which is exactly what I meant. Did you read the last sentence?

And I am trying to refute that statement.

You do realize they are improving, right? You're saying that they are just the same as they have been for the past few years. I'm saying they're getting better. I'm done explaining myself here.

.....

I really do wish we had more to pick like in the UK

They have like 6 kids channels.

Nick: Pretty damn lousy at the moment. The only thing they have going for them right now is Korra coming down the pipe.

Disney: They've got Phineas And Ferb, which is good, but that's about it. While the other shows on the network aren't too good, they're not painfully bad like what Nick has now.

XD: Slighty better off than its parent network, if only because it has a few more animated shows going on.

Cartoon Network: Despite having some major flaws (CN Real and the cancellation of Sym-Bionic Titan), they still have a solid number of good shows going right now: Adventure Time, Regular Show, Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, Batman The Brave And The Bold, and Young Justice are all grade-A.

The Hub: Dan Vs and My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic are both fantastic, and the other shows are at least good in terms of visuals. Their choice of older shows is rather random, but I'm not complaining.

I think Nicktoons will get better.

Nicktoons has been in a downward spiral of Network Decay since 2008. They stopped airing their original cartoons and are now airing the now-canceled-in-production Dragon Ball Z Kai, the new Power Rangers show which I was never interested in, and a new second season of Speed Racer The Next Generation that no one asked for and that no one will watch. They can only get better.

I think the will air the older Power Rangers seasons sometime this year.

I hate all Power Rangers shows in general.

I suppose it comes from liking more comedic, cartoony stuff than action shows. Those are what Nicktoons should've stuck to airing.

There was one point when I was a kid where I used to get the Looney Tunes magazine. Yes, Folks. There was an 8.5 x 11, Warner Bros-produced Looney Tunes magazine. Until, one day we got an issue of a new magazine replacing the Looney Tunes one with a note from the editor about the unfortunate circumstances where they had to stop production on it. Guess what the new magazine is based off of! That was not a good day.

Yeah. My gut told me you didnt like them before you even posted again. But felt too lazy to edit my post.

Im sorry to hear about the Loony Toons magazine.

Yeah. I agree with Dito. The UK has more variety. Correct me if Im wrong.

Adventure Time?

LOL!

Thanks Miru that cheered me up!

Disney: Two good shows, Pixar films, Disney films and...well, that's not bad, but it really suffers for all those lousy tween comedies

XD: Slighty better because there are more toons

Cartoon Network: Used to rock, then used to suck, now it's merely mediocre

Nick: It started a bad period after Avatar The Last Airbender, and I think I must be the only one that actually LOVES Fanboy And Chum Chum

I love it too. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I knew it! I'm not alone after all!

A Time where Tropes Are Not Good Indeed.....

Sorry! Just kidding

Cartoon Network: Barely anything is watchable for me on this one. It's like I don't even tune into it as much as I used to years ago.

Disney: Only for Phineas and Ferb. Otherwise, It's crap. Same for Disney XD.

Nick: I don't even care about Nick anymore. I've seen all of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and there's nothing on there. Also, forgive me for saying this, but Spongebob is crap. Even when it first came out, it's crap. And yes, I did watch a few episodes, but I never really got into it. I'm surprised this cartoon is even going when it should be put out of it's misery. The only two good episodes are "Texas" and "Pre-Hibernation Week."

Nicktoons Network: Not so much. There's no need for DBZ Kai since the season DV Ds of the original English airing can be bought on DVD (Though I stopping watching after the Frieza saga), and the Mighty B is the only thing I'll watch on there.

The HUB: Aside from Atomic Betty (Which isn't airing right now, sadly) and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, there's nothing of interest on this channel.
