** Come to think of it, why did Cartoon Network air ''[[Air Bud]]'', which is a ''Disney'' movie?
*** [[Overly Long Gag|Come to think of it]], why did Cartoon Network air ''Inspector Gadget'', also a Disney movie?
*** To answer for the Disney questions, those two movies are distributed by Disney, as in they are the studio who was willing enough to give the film crew the money and allow them to shoot the movie while calling it their own. Now ''[[Air Bud]]'' seems more like Disney property since they made an entire series out of it, but ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' was originally a syndicated cartoon that used to air outside of Cartoon Network. And also, they aired ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' and (I believe they did) ''[[James and Thethe Giant Peach]]'', which are also from Disney as well. Again, distributed by them, (with the possible exception of Nightmare Before Christmas. That has some grounds in Disney, so...) so that does give Cartoon Network some rights to air those movies. And I don't mind the idea of airing a live-action version of a cartoon or having a [[Medium Blending|medium blend]] that contains cartoons, but ''[[Air Bud]]'' doesn't exactly belong on Cartoon Network.
 
* Why did Boomerang (the Argentinian version), a children's channel, show "Stand By Me", an R-rated movie?
Line 27:
** [[Futurama|Good news, everyone!]] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|They]] ''[[And the Fandom Rejoiced|finally]]'' [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|aired it in the states]]!
 
* While getting rid of [[Naruto]] and [[DragonballDragon Ball|Dragon Ball Z]] was bad enough for CN, why did the network decide to give away their sequel shows to [[Disney XD]] and [[Nicktoons]], ''their rival networks?''
** Because their executives are each holding an [[Idiot Ball]].
** I heard CN may have had issues with their distributors.
Line 42:
 
 
* Here's a very good question concerning ''[[Dude What Would Happen (TV)|Dude What Would Happen]]'': why? That's it. Why?
** Because, and I hate to lay even a modicum of indirect blame on them, ''[[Myth Busters]]''. More accurately, [[Follow the Leader|Mythbusters]] [[Money, Dear Boy|fans]]. More detailed, ''Mythbusters'' has many fans, so a show that [[Blatant Lies|takes the]] [[Completely Missing the Point|core concept]] of ''Mythbusters'' will also have many fans, and the horrible failure of ''[[Smash Lab]]'' to be popular [[Money, Dear Boy|enough]] means that it wasn't good enough to use as an example of why making "Mythbusters, but moar X-Treme" doesn't work if you [[Completely Missing the Point|completely miss the point of why most fans like it]]. Also, [[Viewers are Morons|CN Viewers Are Adolescent Morons]] who would justify dumbing down ''Mythbusters'' even more than most [[Misaimed Fandom|misaimed]] [[Follow the Leader|copies]]. For the most cynically terse reason, it's [[Money, Dear Boy|cheap]] and [[Follow the Leader|probably]] [[Lowest Common Denominator|popular]].
** And to throw in a dash of ''[[Jackass (TV)|Jackass]]'', you get a [[Sarcasm Mode|recipe for success]]...
*** They ''really'' could [[Follow the Leader|do it]] [[Affectionate Parody|better]]:
{{quote| '''[[Powerpuff Girls|PPG]] [[The Narrator|Narrator]]''': Who are the MythToons? [[DextersDexter's Laboratory|DeeDee]] Savage ("Ooh... look at the pretty colors!") and Dexter Hyneman (**[[Face Palm]]**) Between them, more than 30 years animation experience.<br />
'''Dexter:''' No, DeeDee, Don't Touch That!<br />
'''Narrator''': Joining them: Blossom Imahara ((music)"The Wrist Cylinder's connected to the, Fo...re Arm"), Bubbles Byron ("That actually ''was'' fun."), and Buttercup Belleci ("Why do ''I'' always have to be the fall girl?")<br />
They don't just demonstrate cartoon physics, they put it to the test. }}
** [[User:Shadow Dog|I]] honestly feel it's one of the best shows currently on the channel. After all, it's competing with ''[[Johnny Test (Animation)|Johnny Test]]'', ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'', ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'', ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Animation)|The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', ''[[Chowder]]'', and ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]''... I'd just like to note that I've never even watched the last one, I'm just putting using the "CNNewShow" function on my calculator. Admittedly, there are better shows on the channel, but most of them just seem to be on there by accident rather than them actually caring.
*** Are you honestly trying to claim that ''[[Dude What Would Happen (TV)|Dude What Would Happen]]'' is better than Adventure Time and Regular Show?
** For the sake of argument, ''[[Dude What Would Happen (TV)|Dude What Would Happen]]'' was the most profitable show from [[CN Real]]... not that it's saying much. Plus, it's extremely hard to get hosts that preteen boys can appeal to when they are animated, or else you'll need months of planning and tons of extra budget set aside.
** Good news be heard, people! The two remaining shows from [[CN Real]] have been, if not outright canned, at the very least, put on a bit of a hiatus for the time being to get the [[Christmas Special|Christmas Specials]] onto the lineup. Things may be looking up for the time being.
* Why put DC Nation shows on weekend mornings? Why can't they rebroadcast them in the evenings? On fridays, Ninjago and Star Wars make up the prime time cartoons when Ninjago seems more saturday morning material. Not to diss Ninjago but it seems more commercial and not as complex as ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]'' and [[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars]]. Are they even allowed to rebroadcast shows now? it seems Flapjack or any of the old shows get played much, is it a money issue?
