When Yidsney and Cuckner Bros put aside their egos and realize no one on the planet will ever pay more than 7 bucks a month for one streaming service and finally merge into one streaming service that is still pure dogshit but at least it's only one meaning more people won't just pick and choose based on what they think they want to see or have seen or have already pirated.
CN's been dead for years now; the last show I got any real enjoyment out of was OK KO! and the last show I actually thought was good through and through was Over the Garden Wall. it doesn't matter how many shitty blocks they keep inventing, as long as they can't put out/support good programming it's going to suck
ACME Night is a block that airs a lot of random movies and shows, you can find a list of the ones that have aired so far out there. Checkered Past will be a block that airs classic CN shows.
>Checkered Past is an upcoming Adult Swim programming block featuring cartoons from the 1990s and early 2000s, usually on Mondays and Fridays, that is scheduled to premiere on August 28, 2023 starting at 6 pm EDT. It will contain shows such as Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
>CN
Has no cartoons, what's the point? >Toonami and Adult Swim

I only get basic cartoon network and last I checked adult swim and some other shit is 4 dollars more. After like 5 or 6 it just shows a blue screen saying see you tommorow morning.
It's because you're a little baby boy and you're not old enough to watch edgy adult cartoon humor with us grown ups yet. We do stuff like that to keep kids like you out of our programming.
Adult swim should start at 8 o'clock. The frick are they thinking at 5? Kids are still awake. 8pm is fully reasonable that yummy preteens should be off to their little beds and the hard stuff can start to air. Even so, we have something called a v-chip so who cares. No adult is going to have time to watch dirty TV shows at 5pm. Hell, it's summer... it doesn't even get dark till 9pm anyways.
It's because you're a little baby boy and you're not old enough to watch edgy adult cartoon humor with us grown ups yet. We do stuff like that to keep kids like you out of our programming.
>Kids are still awake.
Kids don't watch cable television live. After school, they're probably on their phones or playing video games. If they're interacting with Cartoon Network, it's through the app, Max, or YouTube videos. The linear feed doesn't need to pander to them anymore >No adult is going to have time to watch dirty TV shows at 5pm.
They're not showing dirty shows at 5pm, they're showing old CN shows from 5 to 7. Then after that it's King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers, and I don't think you could classify those as dirty shows either. Maybe American Dad at 10pm could count, and they don't air actual Adult Swim originals until after midnight
The shows you mentioned are afult oriented shows. Also my nephew watches stuff live. Why would you frick around on a phone application when you have a Dolby atmos home theater and big screen. With HTPC I might add.
No one watches movies and shows on their little phones with tinny sound unless they are poor or don't have a decent home theater.
>Why would you frick around on a phone application when you have a Dolby atmos home theater and big screen
If you have all that you should be watching shitty compressed cable feeds even less. Get on the Max ultimate plan and watch your cartoons in 4K dude
People mostly get tricked by bundles and wanting no ads with their streaming. Like it's a given the average person is too tech illiterate, too morally weighed down, or both to get free TV on their TV, so they HAVE to buy TV, and nowadays it feels like you have to get ALL the services in order to have a proper variety of things to watch. As such, they find cable/satellite attractive, because you get a much wider variety of channels within a singular package, and they often get a discount on TV with their Phone or Internet plan
Thing is, it's TV with ads, and IIRC for about $70, you can get >HBO MAX >Hulu >ESPN+ >Disney+ >Amazon Prime >Paramount+ w/ SHOWTIME >AppleTV >Peawiener >Netflix
with ads, and you also have control over when and what you wanna watch n' all this other shit, all at the price point of a typical basic satellite package which won't include HBO and Showtime and what not.
But of course, some people get better deals and bundles or prefer a singular bill, and there's stuff like DVRs for recording n' shit, so people still end up feeling like they come ahead with cable/satellite
Pretty stupid, and likely to be frustrating since six blocks means people will have only four hours of their preferred block at a set time frame, forcing them to get their life in sync with a cartoon channel instead of banking on reruns playing throughout the day. That would drive people to streaming alternatives (though who knows, maybe that's the point).
If they care about their cable presence + financial bottom line, they should just let Adult Swim have it's own channel and fully rebrand Cartoon Network as Cartoonito, with a TV-Y7 block that runs from 6PM to 6AM, and toddler's programming block running from 6AM to 6PM. Any new content for TV-Y7 shows should target airtimes between 730PM and 10PM and everything between 10PM and 6AM should just be reruns.
Four hours isn't enough tv for you? You should be watching news like Fox News when you get home from work until nine or so so you can keep up with the world. 9-11 should be cartoons/adult swim if you are still kinda a child at heart.
It's not that four hours isn't enough TV. Its that you have to get in sync with the specific four hours to catch a specific programming block.
If I miss SportsCenter at 6AM I can catch it later at 11AM, or possibly on a sister channel. There's flexibility.
I understand. The only issue I would run into was what they are doing for prime time and later up to midnight. As long as 8pm and above is reserved for raunchy shows I am fine. Kids can watch a show or two before bed, then the adults can watch their dirty shows. In all honesty no one should really be watching TV before 8 or so because that's dinner time and the sun is still out from 5pm-8 at least in the summer.
8/9pm onward with adult swim was ideal. Could watch O'Reilly then maybe a little Hannity and Colmes for awhile but if Colmes was being a liberal douche could turn it over to watch raunchy cartoons.
>Living long enough to see cable finally reach it's final form: Exact the same as public TV channels, each time slot separated for a especific age group and with 90% of the content being reruns of dead shows
Amazing
Will adult swim and these other blocks be an additional cost over daytime cartoon network? I haven't been mailed any notice of change. You can't just shut everything down at 5pm now over 8pm.
As usual, someone on twitter is a moron. Toonami and Checkered Past aren’t separate blocks, they are separate parts of Adult Swim, just as Acme Night is a separate part of CN.
It’s like saying Cartoon Fridays was a separate network
fascism is literally government and corporations working together. canceling a corperations special tax status is the literal opposite of fascism and outlawing child genital mutilation is just normal
>fascism is literally government and corporations working together
Wrong, the actual definition of fascism is, a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
This honestly seems like a better direction than whatever the hell CN has been the past 10 years under Christina Miller and then the Freeform guy.
It's a little worrying that it seems to be leaning hard on memberberries, but literally everything is leaning on memberberries these days and their attempts at innovating (Cartoonito) were complete failures.
>They aren’t able to license any anime
Why not just do what they used to do and license old niche/unpopular anime and turn them into a cult following in America
>and license old niche/unpopular anime
Because there are already other companies doing that.
HIDIVE licenses niche/unpopular anime and RetroCrush licenses old anime from the 80s and 90s.
And the latter is free.
There part where you get your nuts stomped and they are tiny little stupid nuts and they give you a really bad bodily sensory experience and I laugh cause your nuts got stomped and you cry
>They aren’t able to license any anime
Why are they able to pay for literally a new Watanabe anime as well as stupid vanity shit like the Rick and Morty anime? Are you telling me that that costs less than just getting the licensing rights for Gundam and Trigun?
Cost isn’t the issue. Crunchyroll wants a monopoly on anime in the west so they won’t license any of their shows (like 90% of the market) to Toonami
Demarco is also an idiot who wants to be an anime creator so would gladly throw the block to the wolves if it meant he gets to work on some CGI slop with Watanabe
The only reason AS is as long as it is is because the Fox reruns pull in tons of viewers. When they lose the rights to those again (I believe they're already losing Bob's Burgers later this year), they'll probably downsize it to starting at 9/10pm again
Gee I don’t know, I doubt that airing almost exclusively TTGo and Gumball for 10 years had anything to do with it. Kids have zero attachment to the network anymore.
Not to mention just in general, kids think cable is stupid when they can stream whatever they want whenever they want it
In what way? Adult Swim is slowly taking over the entire network. Checkered Past is just a way to show things millennials will like that also aren’t too crazy for 5pm. Once CN is fully pushed out that will probably go away
12 - FLCL Grunge
12:30 - One Piece
1 - Naruto
1:30 - MHA
They did say they planned to air the other half of Dr Stone next year. Oh and Uzumaki is delayed again
This anon's probably a doomposter but they're mostly telling the truth. The MHA rerun is dropped. Superman is still leading followed by Stone, One Piece, and Naruto. FLCL's new season is probably set to replace Superman when it finishes its season.
9 months ago
Anonymous
He said in September moron. Dr Stone is out of episodes the weekend before Labor Day. Superman might go over one weekend but it really depends on how AS premiers it
Wow, surely this will work out. When is cable TV going to bite the bullet finally?
When streaming finally becomes profitable.
Never.
Streaming is and will be a shit storm for a LONG time
When Yidsney and Cuckner Bros put aside their egos and realize no one on the planet will ever pay more than 7 bucks a month for one streaming service and finally merge into one streaming service that is still pure dogshit but at least it's only one meaning more people won't just pick and choose based on what they think they want to see or have seen or have already pirated.
They're just biding their time for the inevitable streaming collapse.
When the radio dies
When live sports gets a convenient and profitable platform
CN's been dead for years now; the last show I got any real enjoyment out of was OK KO! and the last show I actually thought was good through and through was Over the Garden Wall. it doesn't matter how many shitty blocks they keep inventing, as long as they can't put out/support good programming it's going to suck
Cartoon Network has been dead since cartoon cartoon fridays ended, which was probably before your birth.
what the hell is Acme night and checkered past???
ACME Night is a block that airs a lot of random movies and shows, you can find a list of the ones that have aired so far out there. Checkered Past will be a block that airs classic CN shows.

acme night is their try at bringing back movie nights with mostly successful/hilarious results, they ran Ocean’s Eleven the other week.

I only get basic cartoon network and last I checked adult swim and some other shit is 4 dollars more. After like 5 or 6 it just shows a blue screen saying see you tommorow morning.
you need to get a new cable provider, dude.
No.

Yummy whats?
People are STILL WATCHING CABLE??

If you have negative thoughts you shouldn't share them.
And this will only generate negative thoughts.
I mean, I get it. I don't approve, but I understand why they're doing this.
What makes the cartoon network block unique compared to the other 5 blocks ?
Pretty stupid, and likely to be frustrating since six blocks means people will have only four hours of their preferred block at a set time frame, forcing them to get their life in sync with a cartoon channel instead of banking on reruns playing throughout the day.

Since Checkered Past is Adult Swim’s, will they be airing Rude Removal and Buffalo Gals?
Throw in the Censored 11 and Toonheads and I'll buy a premium package. Hell, get ballsy and air Disney's propaganda toons.
Why?
>Living long enough to see cable finally reach it's final form: Exact the same as public TV channels, each time slot separated for a especific age group and with 90% of the content being reruns of dead shows
Amazing
This can't be worse than the eternal Teen Titans Go reruns right?
Will adult swim and these other blocks be an additional cost over daytime cartoon network? I haven't been mailed any notice of change. You can't just shut everything down at 5pm now over 8pm.
qrd? so what is each block going for and what are they gonna show?
As usual, someone on twitter is a moron. Toonami and Checkered Past aren’t separate blocks, they are separate parts of Adult Swim, just as Acme Night is a separate part of CN.
It’s like saying Cartoon Fridays was a separate network
How fricking expensive has anime licensing gotten? Frick's sake.
I'm starting to think that the higher-ups at CN genuinely hate Anime.
Why would a American animation air Japanimation? If you want Japanimation just make a channel.
isnt tom a Black person terrorist now and toonami is his propaganda network?
I get it, government mandated cancel culture like what DeSantis is doing is fascism.
That's a good question.
fascism is literally government and corporations working together. canceling a corperations special tax status is the literal opposite of fascism and outlawing child genital mutilation is just normal
>outlawing child genital mutilation is just normal
Cool when will Amerimutts stop being like 99% circumcised?
working on it. the holocaust didn't happen in a day you know
keeeeeeeek
Fascism is a branch of socialism, for frick sake Fasci gets its name from an Italian nomenclature for Worker's Union
>fascism is literally government and corporations working together
Wrong, the actual definition of fascism is, a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

It's a little worrying that it seems to be leaning hard on memberberries, but literally everything is leaning on memberberries these days and their attempts at innovating (Cartoonito) were complete failures.
This isn’t even true, Toonami and Checkered Past are still parts of Adult Swim
What is the weekday Toonami lineup going to look like since its starting at 5PM?
There is no weekday Toonami. They aren’t able to license any anime, they can barely keep the lights on for Saturday
>They aren’t able to license any anime
Why not just do what they used to do and license old niche/unpopular anime and turn them into a cult following in America

Seems clear that this will eventually become the toonami/checkered past/adult swim channel.
Makes sense. Cartoon network studios doean't even exist anymore.
Cartoon Network literally has no cartoons
Da fuq is Acme Night? Name suggest a Loony Toons block but the logo looks like some neo-80s vaporwave shit.
>Loony Toons
Who has time in 2023 to watch TV? What's the point of having programming at all between 2 and 8 am?
The only reason AS is as long as it is is because the Fox reruns pull in tons of viewers. When they lose the rights to those again (I believe they're already losing Bob's Burgers later this year), they'll probably downsize it to starting at 9/10pm again
CN is never coming back lmao. There is zero audience for it. Even without the Fox crap, AS will still do better than CN
Why did kids turn their back on CN?
Gee I don’t know, I doubt that airing almost exclusively TTGo and Gumball for 10 years had anything to do with it. Kids have zero attachment to the network anymore.
Not to mention just in general, kids think cable is stupid when they can stream whatever they want whenever they want it
It’s 2000s all over again.
Like when CN at the time had:
>Tickle U
>Top 5
>CN
>AS
>movie airings
ngl this definitely feels like a return to classic CN
…but without the checkerboarded logo to tie up all these blocks with
In what way? Adult Swim is slowly taking over the entire network. Checkered Past is just a way to show things millennials will like that also aren’t too crazy for 5pm. Once CN is fully pushed out that will probably go away
like, there!s no anvil to tie these loose balloons to
these brands are basically going off on their own
I want a new boomerang channel thats only hanababera classics and nothing else.
Welp, get ready to change this image because Toonami just got cut back an hour. It's going to be dead before long.
No it didn’t. It’s still 3 hours, has been since last November. It’s not gonna get shorter than that
Live panel at SDCC right now how them confirm the block drops to 2 hours in September.
Bruh what, did they give the schedule?
12 - FLCL Grunge
12:30 - One Piece
1 - Naruto
1:30 - MHA
They did say they planned to air the other half of Dr Stone next year. Oh and Uzumaki is delayed again
2008 tier, what’s even the point anymore?
This anon's probably a doomposter but they're mostly telling the truth. The MHA rerun is dropped. Superman is still leading followed by Stone, One Piece, and Naruto. FLCL's new season is probably set to replace Superman when it finishes its season.
