CN Real was a block of Creator/CartoonNetwork that lasted from 2009-2010, focused on live action programming. Throughout the mid to late 2000's, Cartoon Network began integrating live action shows into their mix in order to compete with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/DisneyChannel, which both integrated live action shows along with animation. This escalated after head of Cartoon Network Jim Staples resigned in the aftermath of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_Mooninite_panic Boston Bomb Scare]], replaced by Stuart Snyder. The result of this was the creation of a block dedicated to original Cartoon Network live action programming. Thus, CN Real was born.

This block proved... controversial, to say the least. The fans of CN were wary of the channel's NetworkDecay, with {{Creator/Toonami}}'s cancellation to make way for more live action being particularly negatively received, and the creation of a block dedicated solely to live action on ''Cartoon'' Network did not alleviate their fears. On top of that, most of the new shows created for this block were received negatively by critics, and couldn't gain traction in ratings; none of the shows came close to matching the network's animated shows.

The block only lasted one year, ending May 28, 2010, with only ''Destroy Build Destroy'' and ''Series/DudeWhatWouldHappen'' surviving the end of the block. Cartoon Network eventually found more success in its animated offerings, with shows like ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' paving the way for what fans call Cartoon Network's Renaissance era. The network would create a few more live action shows, but their last ones, ''Series/LevelUp'' and ''Series/IncredibleCrew'', aired their final episodes in 2013.
