---------------------------------
I started watching television when I was four. It was 1999-2000 I believe, and I was introduced to Cartoon Network, and instantly fell in love. I've never seen anything like it before, having been the only source of entertainment for me at the time was my toy cars and Hot Wheels sets. I grew up with cartoons like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and all the other classic and original Cartoon Cartoons, even the later ones like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. I loved the shows, I thought Nickelodeon couldn't compete. I never did like Nickelodeon that much, they have some good shows but nowadays it's just all iCarly and SpongeBob.
CN grew up fast, and took on a look in 2004 that blew me away and had me even more captivated. It was a CGI city, where all the cartoon characters were intertwined with each other, living in this big city made up of the settings from various shows. It was really well done and gave a more 'connected' feeling among the network. New shows came along, I liked them too. They were all good, with a few sour apples inbetween here and there but it was still a great network.
2006 I stopped watching TV a lot. Mainly because CN was on it's downfall, cancelling and replacing a lot of the originals I had once loved with newer shows like The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Camp Lazlo, Totally Spies, etc etc. I didn't really like these. I could tolerate them, but I really wished they'd bring back a lot of their shows from the early days. Although, they ran these at hours when hardly anyone was up and I couldn't see them.
From there it was just all downhill. Real live shows, a new look with Noods, really took away the personality that the network once had. To me, the name Cartoon Network doesn't really suit them anymore. While I know television shows never last, the nostalgia you have with them doesn't subside. I'm sure other people have another perspective on the whole thing with me, maybe some like Chowder, or Flapjack, or Total Drama Island. That's great, but have they ever seen Johnny Bravo? THAT'S a cartoon, not this. To me, they're the pile of trash that killed a great network. I don't even think they're deserving of the title "cartoon".
CN's ratings have dropped since they cancelled Toonami, and yet they still insist on digging their own grave. Sadly, I don't think they're coming back out of it, they pretty much put the final nail in the coffin with it when they aired the last episode, and with the other series as well. How can you bring back some of them after being tossed aside for so long? Oh well.
Life goes on, though, and we all must deal with losing what was once great, be it a television show or a pet hamster you loved dearly. Sucks, doesn't it? :(

NEW INFO:
"CN has gone even shittier in 2010, having lame ass live action movies. And they took away the blank noodz or whatever you call em and just have random CN characters run around the place in ripped backgrounds. More CN Real shows are coming. Courage is the only original show still broadcasting. Johnny Bravo showed on that Johnny Johnny day. And Foster's Home got cancelled sadly. And when WB Kids got cancelled, they sent some shows to CN like Skunk Fu and Johnny Test. Skunk Fu is cancelled, decent show. The Garfield Show comes to CN, awesome show actually. And they don't have Har Har Tharsdays, You Are Here, Saturday Action Movies, and Flicks anymore. And that's all I know."

Sad to see your childhood die before your eyes
go to cartoon network feedback
Christopher Tyson CN ain't gonna do shit
Be awesome, pirate the original series and make them watch that instead, then. Don't let the retarded new shows make them stupider than you. Generations should grow, not degenerate...
Least you can watch some of it on different things. Hulu Netflix. Glad I can watch all the Pokemon episodes again if wanted.
HouseWolf true
I can't believe this video is finally 10 years old. I remember watching this video for the first time at the end of 2009, when i was still in 5th grade. At the time I didn't know the real reasons why a lot of my favorite cartoons had ended/canceled and why cartoon network had changed so drastically. From my experience I wasn't old enough to really understand what had been going on with Cartoon Network nor did any of my friends in school. Thanks to this video back then I learned the real reasons why cartoon network went down the drain during that time. Also, if it wasn't for this video, I wouldn't found my love for buckethead.
Should I have quitted watching cartoons by the end of the 2000s?
Same for me. I saw it in 2010 when I was in 8th grade.
Right above your comment is one I left 10 years ago and I don't remember this at all
Holy shizz.. I feel old.. I remember watching the first episode of Foster's home for imaginary friends like it was yesterday.. Man.. now im 20.
You and I both. :'c
same
I'm 27. To me Fosters still feels new 😥 I remember when they still sold black and white TVs..
I remember Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, Two Stupid Dogs. Also, you're not old at all you little kid!
I'm only 14 years old and I remember watching all of those cartoons and I also feel damn old watching this!
They should have kept that 2004 CGI city thing, that was really cool
ikr
u mean reboot
+Hman72 Yes, ikr.
I know right
And other cartoons from modern day, that might be interesting.
Is it just me or is this video really depressing? =/
Ikr? He sounds really depressed.
+Craig Flower Since they removed 4kids from tv and replaced it with....lets not go there...the enjoyment of television has actually gone way down.
+EmporerAaron replaced it with? 4k media?
TheGoku B Nope, replaced it with reality shows like "The Dog Whisperer" and some sort of game show.
EmporerAaron Oh ok.
This video came out during a period where it felt like Cartoon Network had no hope. I remember watching this video when it first came out, and all of us as a community had also lost hope that Cartoon Network would get any better. Sadly not long after this video was released, “CN Real” would premiere and make things even worse. Thankfully, almost like a knight in shining armor, Adventure Time would bring the Cartoon Renaissance, and other cartoons like Regular Show and Amazing World of Gumball along with it.
Here we are now in 2020, and many cartoons from the early 2010’s are now gone, but at the very least, this isn’t as bad CN in 2009.
Although that dark period might be over, I still love to come back to this video every now and then, not only to how times have changed, but also because this video is so damn amazing. Thank you Ungiver for this video from a dark time in history.
You think because of adventure time and regular show cartoon netowrk would scrap their live action shows by 2010 right? Wrong they still continued to shit out live action shows even after the death of Cn real think I’m digging too deep here’s proof
Destroy Build Destroy (why is a musician as good as Andrew W.K. in this??) and Dude, What Would Happen? ran from 2009 all the way to 2011. No, seriously. They LITERALLY did!!!
Even after they went back to making cartoons, they gave us 2010's Unnatural History.
It's Time Squad, except it's an unfunny live-action show on CARTOON Network!!! Yes, they even brought us live-action from Canada, with this, Survive This, and even Zixx.
OH, but we're not done! We also had Tower Prep!! An X-Men knock-off, nuff said.
Remember Hole in the Wall?? It sucked as a whole!! It sucked even when it used to air on the Fox Network, and it STILL sucked when it moved to Cartoon Network!! This show lasted until 2012. And you'd think that Cartoon Network would FOR REAL scrap the live-action shows altogether, BUT THEY STILL DIDN'T!!!!
Remember the Hall of Game Awards from 2011 to 2014?? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS??!! THEIR ANSWER TO THE KIDS' CHOICE AWARDS??!! THIS IS CARTOON NETWORK, NOT ESPN!!!!
And of course theirs level up. The movie came out in 2011 but the show ran from 2012-2013 it just felt like out of Jimmy’s head all over again.
And finally, Incredible Crew by Nick Cannon of all people!! Cartoon Network's answer to So Random!. Need I remind you that Adventure Time's Jeremy Shada was in this incredibly bad trainwreck?? No, I'm not making that part up. This lasted until 2013.
THE NAME OF THE CHANNEL IS CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!
Remember Cartoon Network's SlamBall??!! They gave us the NBA's Run It Back!! Not too bad of a sports program, but why was it on Cartoon Network??!!
I love the 1939 Wizard of Oz, BUT NOT WHEN IT'S ON CARTOON NETWORK!!!! They still aired live-action movies during that time!! I miss Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theater, because that hasn't been around since February 2007!!
Yeah, "scrap the live-action shows altogether by 2010" my ass!! Thankfully, they stopped their live-action crap by the time Stuart Snyder left. But even that didn't make Cartoon Network any better. Now they end at 8pm instead of 10pm, most of the time you’d see endless TTG and gumball, and the new look for boomerang.
Adult swim should become its own channel detached from Cartoon Network completely.
Cartoon network is literally irrelevant right now
I think its over for CN now lol
@@skonafid now they confirmed that their bringing back live action shows
@@joecool2987 hahahahaahh Really??
I'm watching this and I have to agree. CN is dying, Nickelodeon is dying AND Disney Channel is dying...
Honestly, my three favorite childhood channels have completely gone to shit, but there have been quite a few shows that I liked (Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, etc.)
Don't Worry, There's One Show That'll Save Us All, Spongebob Squarepants, The Only Character Who's Been Staying For More Than 15 Years!!
PJ Lanzatella and don't forget about his best friend, Patrick's brother-in-law
Fairly odd parents has been trying to keep up. It has been out before spongebob.
AllegroModerato even Ren & Stimpy had a great run long before Spongebob premiered
Aidan Cruz as I recall, it aired on Nickelodeon before that
If I ever become a billionaire, I would buy cartoon network and add a 90's day during the week adding all the old cartoon network shows maybe even twice a week. I wish I could go back in time. : (
go to cartoon network feedback
You know how many times they've done that though? It's not enough. They need to make it a part of the schedule. Every couple of months they need to bring back 5 to 6 of their old 90s cartoons. Jan - March/Apr - Jun and so on and so forth.
are you kidding me?
a 90s day? Hell I'd bring it all back, screw the new CN.
I Bet You Would Restore Cartoon Network To Their 1992 Glory Days
Have 90’s kids never heard of piracy
This is making me so nostalgic :( I miss Ed Edd n Eddy in particular, It my favourite cartoon of all time.
+hemz96 i know what you mean. i was in my feels when i saw the X's on the show's pictures.
And dexters lab was really good
Mines too
I like the shows in 2008-2016 and up. They match how crazy my imagination was. BUT NOT ALL OF THE BEN 10 REBOOTS.
ed ed n eddy it died in 2009😭😭😭😭😭 I was born in 2010 July 1st.
This is a very well made video for 2009. I remember watching it back then and thought the editing was something else.
99% of what this guy said was inaccurate and not well structured but yeah 2009 was a bad year for cn
Homeboy needs to make an update video lol. But yeah CN was awful from '07-'10. Mid 2010 is when they got their shit together, started getting rid of the Live Action shit and introducing better Bumpers and Shows. Granted today it isn't as good as the golden years '97-'04 its def better than the CN Real Era of shit
-
2008 was non-live action.
elijahmation tv Nah, they had live action shows that year.
+sXeJerichoHolic I am glad to be one of the last people to grow up in the golden years. I was born in the late 90s, so my early childhood was the golden years of Cartoon Network and the other networks. I miss them, and it is a shame that no one else will be able to experience the golden years. I was one of the last. My 6 year old Brother never gets to experience it.
Nott Joey I lived the same era you did bruh, but we all got to move on and the Network has to move on do better stuff. It's not all bad but yeah it doesn't touch the golden era. As for your bro I mean you can just show him old shows and what not that's why we got Netflix lol.
sXeJerichoHolic Cartoon Network is doing the best of all three main networks right now. I still watch and love Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Regular Show. Cartoon Network isn't as good as the golden era, but they are still doing well (Adult Swim also helps). Cartoon Network has always been the best of the three, and that still hasn't changed.
And with my Brother, I am letting him watch stuff from then. Half the stuff he says is dumb, but he likes things like Foster's and Danny Phantom.
I miss Ed Edd Eddy
Same
***** that's not the only reason why it turned bad that year, it's also the same year Michael Jackson died
Right man even i 2
I miss toonami
Child hood right there
I actually remember watching this video when it was still fresh and relevant. My nine-year-old self was blown away by this video and all of the valid arguments it presented; 2009 was indeed an atrocious year for Cartoon Network. Watching it today, I laugh at it almost every time considering how much of a phenomenal change Cartoon Network has made in the last six years. The network has shocked the hell out of me with it's recent revival, but I can now proudly say that CN is my favorite family-oriented network. This video *desperately* needs an update; it is incredibly irrelevant today.
although it has great shows today like Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Regular Show...... That's pretty much it. Along with really shitty shows like Uncle Grandpa and the reboot for Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titans Go,(although not as bad as the ones above,still not good in general.) and to top it off with a REALLY shitty schedule considering the 3 best shows hardly get any air time anymore. (especially Adventure Time and Regular Show) And it just shows little to no variety with CN just rotating 3-4 shitty rarely good shows for the whole day and occasionally dropping a shitty movie no one cares about. Same exact thing is happening to Boomerang. So yes this video or the fact that CN is no longer what it used to be and is basically not that good anymore is STILL valid. But I hope that changes soon.
2009 was an atrocious year for that block, but it was also the same year Michael Jackson died
The shows on South East Asian (In this case Thai CN) were pretty limited and we didn't get many shows that are good like US channel did now,they even felt the need to buy some Japanese anime just to make the channel appealing but it's losing battle since many free TV in my country already have anime shows in their channels.
Good thing we have two separate channels dedicated to old Cartoon Network shows,Toonami and Boomerang both are now bought and run by Thai company.
Cartoon Network I knew and loved had it last hurrah around 2007 and it all downhill from that point on.
Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, Clarence, We Bare Bears, just to name a few. Those are all great shows.
***** in all honesty, I'm not too fond of Clarence or We Bare Bears, but of course Adventure Time, Regular Show(or as I like to call it "Irregular Show), Gumball, and Stephen Universe aren't all that bad
I like how people back in 2009 thought it was the end of CN but now it’s a lot worse
I agree. By 2010 CN got their shit together by making cartoons again. But the damage has already been done, many cartoon creators moved on, and made other shows for different companies, boomerang Rebranded into an atrocious logo in January 2015, they still aired live action shows up until 2014, the lost the rights to Pokémon, now adult swim starts at 8pm instead of 10pm. AND, by not putting faith in some of their better shows in creators they would air TTG, and Johnny test, all the damn time.!
All this nostalgia at once is too much for someone who grew up with most of these shows to handle. It honestly feels like someone's punching me in the heart and draining all the happiness away from me.
Just like a Dementor
Coprorate people are all dementors, especially bosses.
This aged, like, this REALLY aged.
Aged mostly well.
It'll never be the same without courage.
NickAB1 Bless You
This weirdly used to scare me as a kid
Same
It's a new era. We have to be strong, and let it go. At least we got our memories✊
I feel you fam ✊
I get you man it's a new gen of kids we enjoyed are generation of great cartoons time to let the new kids enjoye there's wen these kids shows end thay will look back on it just like we did with shows like Ed Ed & eddy a cartoon can't last forever it's part of change and wall Chang can be hard we all get through it besides CN still has good shows like
Steven universe
regular show
adventure time
+Supreme ! I know that, but that is no reason to stop making high quality shows.
Yah! Fight the power✊🏽
Supreme ! Oh hell yeah
Anyone remember Class of 3000?
***** theres a few gems in the shit like regular show and adventuer time maybe gumball if you in the mood NOT TTG THAT SHIT JUST ADDED SHIT
*****
I was born in the mid 90's. I grew up watching Tom & Jerry, a bit of Popeye, Justice League, Teen Titans, Bugs Bunny, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, Dragon Ball Z, etc. :p
*****
That's true
Yes
Hell yeah!
Me watching this 13 years later
“If only you knew how bad things really are”
1990 people: The future will be amazing!
2024 people: I want to go back to the 90s...
What you have here is two generations of Cartoon Network kids here. The ones that grew up on Invader Zim, Courage, Ed Edd and Eddy, Kids Next Door, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab and etc...
And then you have the ones that grew up during the advent of The Regular Show and Fosters Home, and everything else from the mid 2000's onward.
You Do Realize That Zim Is An Nickelodeon Character Right?
Classic Sonic
When you were a puppy, did you only stick to watching one single cartoon channel? You had favorite shows on each channel.
And the older generation is objectively superior ;;
From time to time, CN and the entire Turner networks have a ownership changes such as American On-Line's (AOL) acquisition of Time Warner in 2000 until AOL spun off from Time Warner in 2009, then AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner (which later renamed to WarnerMedia) in 2018, and later by 2022, WarnerMedia spun off from AT&T and merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery.
To all the people complaining that the network is dying and it sucks now, keep in mind that the video is almost a decade old (I should know, I saw it first when I was in the 3rd grade and now I'm in college) and predates adventure time and regular show; sure, maybe its mainly just teen titans go, but it can always make a comeback
The rise, then downfall, then resurgence, then downfall again
Symbolic of life
honestly i want to see a revival of the cartoon network city era
like
one big important thing about that era is that both old cartoons and new coexisted
you could have like, the red guy from cow and chicken talking to raj from camp lazlo and nobody would bat an eye
i want to see that now, especially given the locations of the new shows, like
i don't know about you guys but i personally would like to see double d and samurai jack at the big donut from steven universe or darwin and billy muck about in malph's or something
just a thought
Finley Michaels You sir, have just read my mind..
ma'am*
to be honest though, that wouldn't seem out of probability, especially since cartoon network has done something similar in 2012 for their 20th anniversary
Finley Michaels Or have Finn talk to Edd
+Finley Michaels Best idea, they take cartoon shows from each era, and line them up in such a way that its a new spin. A mix of old, older, and recently old
This was as good as a cartoon network doccumentary could get during the early years of youtube. These older videos have a simple charm to them, a more casual feel that makes them interesting in a time capsule kind of way
I guess this was the first downfall video on UA-cam
This was made just before the golden age of CN in 2010 and now it’s gone to shit again
Golden age my ass there were some good shows but i would call it silverage hahah
The Golden Age of Cartoon Network was from 1997 to 2005 with the two most popular and iconic eras occuring here: the Powerhouse and CN City era. Adventure and Regular Show are good shows, but the identity of classic Cartoon Network was never recovered from the Dark Age (Fall 2007-early 2010).
I remember watching Cartoon Network (old logo) and then all of a sudden I see "CN" on the screen and I'm like "The fuck is this?" so I watched the downfall of CARTOON NETWORK before my very eyes. It was an Easter Sunday. That's when I lost hope for Cartoon Network and resumed watching Nickelodeon until THEY fucked up in 2009. I watched the splat turn into just orange letters spelling "Nickelodeon". It changed when the Worldwide Day of Play ended at 3pm in i believe September of 2009 and the logo was changed. So I watched Nickelodeon's downfall as well..... I guess I'm just bad luck....
+The Last Son of Pop Culture I watched it too
don't give up hope Bowser, I might be able to bring most of these shows back
SuperNickBowser LOL! When I first saw that "CN" logo change I said the same thing.
And now, the orange nick logo is just boring white text. Yep, Nickelodeon got worse from here...
I Was Thinking "What The Fuck Is This Shit?"
And then in 2010 CN once again back to their peak with Adventure Time and Regular show
Where is my Old Cartoon Network =( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We should have listened to this guy. Look how bad Cartoon Network got in the years FOLLOWING this video. Adult Swim went from 10PM to 8PM, a bunch of premiere nights faded, and we're on the verge of an Adventure Time and Regular Show cancellation. Where Cartoon Network will be by 2020 is anyone's guess. The network went downhill, and is still going downhill today.
I think Cartoon Networks life line would be 1992 - 2008. The reason I say 2008 is because that's when Toonami was takin off the air, one of the few things keeping Cartoon Network alive.
agreed.
stockingandblossom1 there are a few gems that is BARLY keeping it alive like adventure time and regular show maybe gumball
Well Toonami is back. but only on Adult Swim. XP So they are showing the more adult anime. Which is awesome. The current line-up tht i can remember is Bleach(two episodes left), Attack on Titan(2 episodes left), One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Naruto, Naruto shippuden, Space Dandy, Fullmetal alchemist: Brotherhood, Hellsing Ultimate, Cowboy Bebop, Big-O and one old cartoon network show which is Samurai Jack.
i say it died in 2014 thts when they started 2 spam ttgo
Also Cartoon Network In 1997 Got Undertaker To Do Toonami Undertaker: Welcome To Toonami I'm The Host With The Most The Bombastic, Charismatic Sometimes Dimwitted Undertaker
right now, as of 2016, i'm pretty sure the only reason i even give a shit about cartoon network is because of
steven universe
Same, the one show that's good on the channel as of now.
What about gumball?
+Dylan Gray and we bare bears?
Bruh regular show and adventure time but to watch them you have to wake up early
Amazing world of gumball is funny
This video needs an update
i wish it was the 90s
Me too.
The True downfall was CNReal.
WHAT lol why it was great
TheBlazinHeatran In my opinion, it sucks. In plus why would they name it Cartoon Network but u airing live-action shows.
Supreme ! Oh I thought u meant the Era where it was like everybody lived in the city but real was shit
Cn real is shit
What about ttg ?
I remember watching this video so many times when I was a kid. I dont know why I felt it so entertaining, whats the music used in this video?
I agree that Cartoon Network or CN, as its also known has turned into mindless garbage. What needs to happen is a replacement of leadership, they are the ones that approve of this garbage. It isn't just Cartoon Network, the whole industry needs new people and ideas. Yeah it would be nice to watch your favorite old shows all the time, but thats not going to get us anywhere. A standard for programming needs to be established so that this crap can never be made again. But.... thats just me.
Chowder and Flapjack weren't bad. The problem was that ALOT of shows AND blocks got cut while they rose.
How about an update? A lot has happened in 5 years
Checkerboard Era (1992-1996) - Meh
Powerhouse Era (1996-2004) - Good
City Era (2004-2006) - Great
Yes! Era (2006-2008) - Okay
Nood Era (2008-2010) - Good
CHECK it 1.0 (2010-2011) - Good
CHECK it 2.0 (2011-2012) - Okay
CHECK it 3.0 (2012-2013) - Meh
CHECK it 4.0 (2014-) - Bad
@Chris Vargas 1996 - 2004 more like fantastic. Haven't you forgot Courage cowardly dog, and ed edd and eddy
Meant to tag the other person
I miss Check It 1.0 - 2.0 so much:(
I was born in '92 and to me the '97-'04 years were by far the best. Cartoon Cartoon Fridays were what really hooked me. I absolutely loved Cow And Chikin, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Dexter's Lab, Courage, I Am Weasel, Johnny Bravo, and Powerpuff Girls. Add in that to the Toonami after school programming with DragonBall Z, Gundam, and others and the whole thing was awesome. Not to mention the Adult Swim programming was so original and cool. My generation pretty much grew up on that stuff. It's a shame the network became so terrible, but it's getting much better lately. I still don't watch the normal cartoons like I used to because I'm too old but at least they've added cartoons in the same mold as those older ones they used to show.
Still can't believe they cancelled Megas XLR.
me too that show was AWESOME! that and samurai jack.
Oh yes it was so good! Cartoon Network nearly ruined my childhood by cancelling all the good shows :(
Two words: Uncle Grandpa
R.I.P Cartoon Network
+PBcombat93 Twelve words: The Amazing World of Gumball, Adventure Time, Regular Show and Steven Universe.
Cartoon Network ain't dead yet.
Teen Titans Go
I think Uncle Grandpa was inbred.
6:46
I wish Adult Swim can split from CN, because it's going to start at 6pm in September.
Life lesson for cartoon network
You can never fix what was never broken
+The dedede network or broke what was good
The CN city bumps would be cool to bring back, especially with new characters from shows of adventure time, regular show, amazing world of gumball, Clarence and the list goes on. Of course it wouldn't be cannon to the shows, it would just be a cool thing to bring back.
Who else revisits this video every few years to compare to Cartoon Network today?
Ed Edd and eddy ended in 2009 with a really good TV movie finale
The show itself was cancelled 2007. Not sure how they made the movie 2 years after cancellation but it was the best way to end the series
2008 was the flood...
2010 was the renaissance.
This is a fascinating timecapsule of the opinion of viewers of CN prior to Adventure Time, SU, etc. We know CN is better now, but in 2007-2010 it was considered hopeless
this video itself makes me nostalgic.
I HAVE A GOOD IDEA CANCEL THE WHOLE FUCKING NETWORK. They totally ruined what cartoons are about. There is NOTHING LEFT OF IT. No Pokémon original, no yugioh, no DBZ, Cow and Chicken, PPG, Courage, my G EVERYTHING IS FUCKING GONE
NO DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Cancel the Fuckers
Wolverines Resistance Please go away weeaboo.
NO BRING BACK TONAMI BRING ME BACK ALL THE ANIMES WE LOVE
Wolverines Resistance How About I'll Put A Cap On Yo Ass
damn, this video is really almost a decade old now...
ikr craaazy
Do you all miss being children THAT much? I'm in your age group so I remember this shit like the back of my hand, but nothing killed your enjoyment of cartoons on Cartoon Network other than your own ongoing and forever changing tastes. Nothing lasts forever everyone. I say this with no malice or intent to shame any of you, but grow up, for you own sake. If you live in the past you're always going to be longing for those that days that can never be had again. Make new memories, I promise you'll have just as much fun as you did when you used to watch all your favorite shows from the week on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays.
Thanks for the advice, random stranger.
Darude- Sandstorm Don't get me wrong, never stop being a kid; that's how we stay creative, empathetic, and maintain a zest for life, but false expectations always lead us to ruin.
+AgentMurphy286 THANK YOU! It's about time someone saw the light of the day.
I'm not sure if you will read this considering it's been like 9 years since you've commented this and have probably forgotten you've even said this but, THANK YOU!
people especially back then were so quick to to hate on morden iterations of childhood networks just because they didn't grow up with it and while in some cases they did really fall off. (Like with nick) most off these just changed for the times. Except that and move on instead of just crying about it.
Well Cartoon Network did pick back up in 2011, but it fell off again by 2014 and I don't think it's ever gonna be good again especially since TV itself is dying, I will always miss classic CN.
Same man.
I'm watching in the future (2017) and Cartoon Network has turned into cartoon crapwork
Even though Cartoon Network cancelled many great shows and was at a point of hitting rock bottom I'm glad they got their shit together in the last minute and began airing cartoons again. Lets be honest Regular Show and Adventure Time SAVED Cartoon Network and now they are airing more cartoons and are doing a great job.
You Can Thank Rigby For That
Classic Sonic Year of the Rigby baby!
Thing is, with CN back then they had a variety of shows to air and made it so unique and fun watching all these shows. Now they only show Teen Titans Go, Uncle Grandpa, Adventure Time, Gumball, and Regular Show. From CN standards that's only a small percentage from what they showed back then.
Regular Show and Adventure Time those show suck hard.
stockingandblossom1 How so?
I remembered watching this video 8 Years ago back in 2013 and believe me that video gave me nightmares mostly the music did but looking back on it I feel so much nostalgic watching this video.
The music is made by buckethead, this video got me into him
I've got a comment on here from 2012 but no memory of watching this prior
I stopped watching Cartoon Network around 2006/07. I remember hating the new shows that were coming on, plus I was getting older, too old to even watch cartoons anymore. This video really brought me back in time, thanks for uploading! Its unbelievable how much the world changed in such a short amount of time. The '90s and early '00s really wasn't too long ago, but it feels so far away now.
Back in my day this "adventure time" was called Samurai Jack
For a 2009 video. This is actually decently narrated and edited. I highly doubt this guy's on UA-cam anymore but if he is, good job :)
I stopped watching Cartoon Network when Ed Edd'n Eddy ended. That was the last good show IMO. Anything after 2009 is terrible.
***** Ehhh that was alright,
***** I liked Adventure Time when it first came out now I lost interest.
What about We Bare Bears, Regular Show, Gumball, or Steven Universe? By far CN is the only good young teen/children's channel on right now
+Cryptic Boy ya I know its doing way better than Nickelodeon
Cryptic Boy That I can agree with, I would rather watch what's on CN now then what on Nickelodeon now.
JESUS CHRIST this video hasn't aged well.
The background music!! For those wondering the first half of the video - the song is Machete by Buckethead, second half its Ghost by Buckethead.
Amazing guitar player Buckethead!!
Kind of weird seeing how people were saying that Cartoon Network was bad back then, when it actually was very, very good, compared to what it is now.
Keep in mind that during this time on the internet, everyone who grew up in the 90s as a kid were in a "90s kids" phase and most of them were ranting and shitting on new that cartoons that were airing during that time and saying that Cartoons today, in 2009, sucks compared to the ones in the 90s. Nowadays, everyone mocks of them for being close minded and arrogant. But honestly, Cartoon Network back in the late 2000s and early 2010s was a lot better then it is today in 2023.
@@GoneFishingAway Late 2000s CN was ass. There was so much misdirection and one of them was Toonami. Mind you, Toonami had one of the first online streaming services (Toonami Jet Stream) and they never put more capital into growing it, they were sitting on a gold mine and they didn't even know it.
@@NarutofightsHD1 Really? Well, they missed a huge opportunity for being the first anime streaming service, but I won't lie. The late 2000s for CN was pretty ass but the early 2010s really kicked off Cartoon Network.
@@GoneFishingAway They did justice in the Early 2010s with Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, and Stevens Universe, but they didn't execute the mid to late 2010s. I still feel a certain way about them not giving Toonami its own network.
@@NarutofightsHD1 Yeah, though I stopped watching CN when Regular Show ended, and right now, I feel like CN is in a void.
Why does this video give me creepy vibes
Wow this was like one of the first examples of the “Analysis” type videos I can find. I’m sure there’s tons of ones older than this, but this specific editing style and the way it’s written is very reminiscent of modern analysis videos. Very surreal to see. Also I find it hilarious that people were saying CN was on a downfall 12 years ago so I wonder what that says about CN nowadays. We should have seen the dark times coming and this was their warning
My experience with Cartoon Network:
1992-2004: Amazing 🤗
2004-2007: Best Era 🤩
2007-2009: Descent 🙂
2009-2013: Bad 😢😠
2013-2016: meh😐
2016-present: KILL ME!!! 😖😣
Adventure time? Regular Show? Gumball? You call them bad?? What a millennial
@@bullymaguire243 they are bad compared to what we had in the late 90s and early 2000s, that shit doesnt even come close, what an idiot
Modern cartoon network shows ending or ended

R.I.P regular show 2010-2017
Good riddance
Samurai Jack was a high rated show AND it had a pretty good run- 4 years! Coincidentally when they got rid of THAT CN started to go downhill.
Therefore, THAT should have been included!
Thank you!
what about the cartoon animated star wars from the 2000's?
J KGF Yeah, that too!
Well samurai Jack's back now.
colleen it's on adult swim now
A lot of what this guy said was inaccurate and not well structured but yeah 2009 was a bad year for CN.
Little did he know that Cartoon Network's Renaissance Era would begin a year after this video was uploaded.
Cartoon Network is doing better but still pretty bad. They just need to cancel Adventure Time and bring CN city back. Seriously *FUCK ADVENTURE TIME* If you like it that's fine but I think it's still garbitch.
I know, my friends fall for the same shit and their same age as me! 19...
yah all my friends like it...it's dog shit.
I have good friends, but bad taste in cartoons nowadays...
same here. I know ur feels
adventure time 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 percent
it's hard to watch this without tears:((((
Billy and Mandy needs a reboot
Remember the short show called "don't believe your eyes" that always showed at night on CartoonNetwork. That show scared the shit out of me back then.
Oh god, looking at the comments here makes me cringe.
"[Successful ANIMATED show] is killing CN! Never mind how these shows are widely beloved and have run for many seasons, actually bring in the views and are ANIMATED! It doesn't suit MY taste anymore! Wh-no! Don't call me old! DON'T CALL ME OLD! I'M STILL A LITTLE BOY AT HEART!! HONEST!"
Jeezes.
francisgaribayABC Oh fuck off. I watched this video because I was interested in the abysmal 09 period of CN where they literally released no new animated series for a whole year. I didn't come here for the comments, dumbass.
Thank you!! Even though CN really isn't doing well, it's not because of one show in particular. It's all the shows combined and executive decisions that are slowly killing the station.
***** Go watch freaking Steven Universe or something. It by itself is better than anything else that CN has put out for the last 20 years.
Hjernespreng Truer words have never been spoken.
Hjernespreng
*Go watch freaking Mature Anime or something. It by itself is better than anything else that CN has put out for the last 20 years.*
Fixed it for ya.
I'm waiting for cartoon network to be as good as it once was.😫
Oh you guys misunderstood me. I don't want to bring back old shows, (even if they did it'll probably just be a shitty remake) what I mean is I'm waiting for them to have a whole new block of great shows. Right now for me there only two shows on cartoon network that I like. The rest are either meh or god awful.
***** I mean new shows. The old shows were great and I remember spending hours watching cartoon network because of those shows and I still watch them to this day. But like I said nowadays cartoon network has ( in my opinion) like two good shows on right now. 😞
+Mista -Master of the Sixty-four Bagel Arts- Prince what don't you get when someone says NEW? tf.
This video was made almost 10 years ago. Jesus Christ.
12 years later, I revisited to this video, because of cartoon network bringing back live action shows. I guess some never change after all.
2004 the year of cn good times :')
i agree, good times
***** The only real downfall is around 2009
i thing the downfall started with those reality TV shows back in 2008
Megas XLR aired that year and in the previous year star wars clone wars the
i d say the best 1s were primetime powerhouse checkerboard noods, the yes era was ok
the cartoons that made cn a big hit will never be forgotton...
Ed Edd N Eddy didn't come from What A Cartoon. It was the only one of the original eight not to be spawned from What A Cartoon or even Hanna-Barbera. It was produced by the Canadian studio AKA Cartoon. You all may know AKA Cartoon for that disturbing logo.
The original one with the white background and capital lettering freaked me out as a kid 😳 so I had a pillow to hand after watching
I miss watching chowder as a kid
Chris Vargas don’t diss my childhood :(
Though i was born in 2001 i still remember class of 3000, ed edd and eddy, courage the cowary dog, all the good shows. Then came 2010 the worst shows ever came on. Its really sad when CN cant even show episodes of old shows. R.I.P. Cartoon Network. 😫😫😫
I was born in 2001 not my preferred year but all I did was watch Ed Edd n Eddy, powerpuff girls, courage the cowardly dog, dexter lab and Fosters home for imaginary friends, I still do to this day and think how I wish I was born in 1995, every generation above 2002 sucks.
in my opinion
i think cn died when they started to spam tt go
I wish a version of this was made every year from 2009. Especially with how Cartoon Network made a come back in the Early 2010s. This could have been a great series for us to observe.
I come back to this video ever now and then. Something about the editing on how my childhood cartoon channel ended for me. I’m 24 and saw this video when I was around 10
funny thing, this video was the one that introduced me to buckethead
Stu thought I was the only one. . .shit was a total gateway.
I can't believe the Powerpuff Girls ended on the year I was born..I'm 12 now and I'm gonna be 13 soon
I was born in 2006 :/
Guys Why you seem so sad? Hahahahah
This video is in serious need of an update. Toonami was revived in 2012 but airs alongside Adult Swim nowadays instead of Cartoon Network. The channel went through a renaissance from 2010-2015 and is now entering a 2nd Dark Age since 2016 due to terrible reboots, new Boomerang, and over-saturation of Teen Titans Go.
Little did people know that Adventure time and regular show would end up putting CN back on top spawning another golden age. there were some bumps in the road during the snyder era but it ended up being a good time for CN. Now CN is an even worse state than ever and they are literally digging themselves into a hole that unless by some miracle they will never come out of it.
Not everything is black and white. It's good that original shows ended like The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab. In fact, they should have ended sooner because later seasons were bad and had no involvement of creators. People like you forced CN to make these horrible seasons, similar to Ed, Edd n Eddy. 2009 had good shows like Chowder, Flapjack, Foster's Home and Ben 10. Ed Edd n Eddy movie and Powerpuff Girls rule premiered, too
Tbh if you cant deliver with good shows just end the channel
I think what caused Cartoon Network's 2006 - 2009 Dark Age was the movie Re-Animated. Cartoon Network saw the success of live actions series such as The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Drake and Josh so they tried to follow the same pattern by creating "classics" such as Out of Jimmy's Head and the CN Real shows (and they failed massively at that) since they got barely any support. Ending Toonami was also a pretty bad mistake from the channel.
total drama island was the shit though
true tbh
EnclaveTesla total drama all stars was shit
That was one of the worst shows ever .. WTF are you talking about?. It was literally based on a dumbass reality show that was full of dumbasses and then they just turned it into a cartoon. Have you or have you not seen anything else?
jaqwon14 Total Drama Revenge Of The Island, Total Drama All Stars, and Total Drama Pakitew Island were the worst ones in my opinion.
The only redeemable seasons were Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, and The Ridonculous Race
Best shows in 2010
The clone wars
Regular show
Mad show
Adventure time (before it went to shit)
PathToFitness No it's still good
GreenJumpingFrogs no its trash
Sirilo Cruz How? Hmm?
GreenJumpingFrogs do you want to know the truth of adventure time?
Path to fitness yes I agree with the whole list
