L.A Times + CMcC's Take On [CN Real] - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Bloo4Ever · 08-19-2009, 01:38 PM

Here is some news about Cartoon Network, and it will kinda fill you in on the reason for the really dumb stuff CN has been doing, (CN Real.) It's an interesting read, although you're going to wish you hadn't read it once you have

It's by L.A.Times, plus Craig McCracken says stuff too. Worth to check out.

Wow. This is the saddest thing I've read about CN in some time. I think I'll not be watching this channel ever again.

You said it, dude.

So this probably means that its gonna take years before CN Execs realize they struck true gold with their original cartoons, since it doesn't looklike they're gonna stop trying to 'revitalize' CN.

But Cass, you might be able to fill me in on this. It says Craig left CN, but I thought he was still working on Cartoonstitute? Is it a mistake by the L.A Times or did I miss a news update? Do you know?

It's news to me; he didn't mention anything about it at the Con, at least not that I heard. Disney or Nickelodeon would be lucky to get him.

Edit - There's nothing about it on his or Lauren's DA pages, either.

Cartoonstitute is no more. I don't know the details.

FHF why don't you role play anymore?

This is what I think about this new "live action" junk:

Except the fruit is this stupid a** reality crap.

Cassini90125 · 08-19-2009, 07:54 PM

Let's be careful with the language here guys, but believe me, I sympathize.

Interesting that not only has Foster's ended, but so has Cartoon Network as we knew it. Maybe when Destination Imagination brings home an Emmy while their reality garbage tanks, it'll give them something to think about.

I didn't know about Craig not working for CN anymore until last month at Comic-Con. I think the network's direction was a factor. Khaki Jones doesn't work at Cartoon Network anymore, either, but she had told me earlier this year that she had left. There will still be animated shows out there, but as for the live action, I will not give them a chance. On the upside, from my understanding of the article, the live action programming, for the most part, is not doing well. I really do NOT want CN Real or any of the live action programming to do well. Stuart Snyder and Rob Sorcher are doing nothing but sinking CN faster than the Titanic.

Part of me is saddened by all this, but another part of me is wanting to yell out "Good!! Let them fail! See if I care!"

And, seriously, Snyder and Sorcher aren't worried?? How arrogant and hard headed are they? You'd think they'd see what reality shows did to Nick and Disney, but noooooo, they think they're so good that they can pull it off when the others couldn't. Uh huh, yeah right. Now let's all just sit back, and relax, while we watch the network that threw away something so good, including Foster's, fail horribly. See if we care.

Oh, and

Really?? I don't know a single cartoon fan who'd rather see people like themselves instead of cartoons.
