Will Cartoon Network Keeps Toons Employed?


posted by Aaron

Aside from the Adult Swim block, Cartoon Network has essentially turned it’s back on cartoons. It all went down in 2009, with the new CN Real block of live-action scripted and reality shows, like Survive This. It’s a move that questions whether the network itself may survive this.

To their credit, Regular Show premieres next Monday and it looks kinda awesome, Mad (based on the Mad Magazine universe) appears to have potential, and they were smarter than Nickelodeon last year in picking up Adventure Time. But they hit the reset button hard, prompting Craig McCracken, the creator of The Powerpuff Girls, to say “It’s a little sad. . . . Cartoon Network had something really unique.” Nick Woytuk, a student at AI of Portland, agrees, and he created this spec network ID with the tag “Keep Toons at Work.” Amen, Nick.
