In my opinion. XD (Not that I'd use the word "retarded" to describe it...)
Not that I like Total Drama Island. (Well, there were a few things I thought were kinda funny...)
I really don't get why shows still do that. To me, not only is it disgusting, but also very cheap and cliche. Although many old shows have used it too. To appeal to kids? There's no other kind of humor they can use? Really?
Even though I liked Ed, Edd, n' Eddy (except when they went to school), that to me was a stupid show, as in, so stupid it was funny. It was mainly mindless humor (and some gross humor I can't ignore). Just saying.
They're old kid shows. But anyway, Cartoon Network used to air all of those shows, if not most of them at some point, years ago.
But they were trying to be funny. People liking the old CN thought they succeeded, at least.
They've been trying to outdo Nickelodeon. The shows and methods they've been using aren't all the same as before, but their goals are still the same.
Another thing about Boomerang, they rerun Dexter's Lab and The Powerpuff Girls. (At one time they reran old Pokemon.) Old Pokemon episodes are on video/DVD, same as The Powerpuff Girls.
CartoonNetwork.com has episodes of Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls on their website, maybe even Foster's (which is also on DVD).
Dexter's Laboratory episodes, and maybe PPG too, have episodes on iTunes, if you have video-playing iPod. Also The Powerpuff Girls had a marathon back in January. So these shows weren't completely neglected, although they could have been.

It's not that they don't care- it's that their programming (I don't mean Adult Swim) isn't aimed at us. Not that that makes us older folks' situation better, but...

They've been using foreign shows for a while now, especially with Toonami.

Wow, I myself had almost forgotten this thread; time to save it from dying.
One thing that has occured to me lately regarding CN is that almost none of the shows that are still shown on it stick to the classical idea of cartoons being completely illogical and unrealistic. Yeah, some might call this a good thing; we are raising our kids to be logical thinkers (who will get daily beatings from the school bullies three times their size); but that isn't the point of cartoons. Most original cartoons were made to feature purely kinetic humor, you didn't need to be a genious to understand/appreciate them. These shows like TDI/TDA, and 6TEEN might as well be live-action; they would barely need any special effects or stunt people at all (Stoked, not as much).

lol I LOVED the cartoons like Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Foster's Home, Billy and Mandy, Cow and Chicken (especially the red guy xD), etc. Sometimes the characters got a little annoying, though. I feel sorry for some of the characters sometimes lol.
They showed Billy and Mandy a few times today. It'll probably only last til Halloween, though.
But most of my favorite cartoons are gone.
lol I was working as a jr. leader for kids that were 10 year olds - 12 year old kids in a summer fun program last summer, and they actually laughed at that kind of stuff. They were REALLY immature though. I doubt other kids their age are like that, but still a whole group of about 15 kids were laughing about farts and other rude things. I remember we were doing this activity where we fill in the blanks to make up a weird story or something, and they filled in EVERY blank with stuff like "fart" or "balls" and laughed hysterically at it

The fact that they have now revived Looney Toons makes me think that they have finally decided to pull their heads out of their *****es and try to get viewers.

lol Yeah, those were the days when Looney Tune still going on. I miss Toonami, Dexter Lab, Ed Edd n' Eddy, Looney Tunes, etc. Its ashame that Toonami is done because their losing rating. I've started watching Toonami when its says something about DBZ airing. Cartoon Network in the past few years weren't the same. The only time I've watch CN is for Adult Swim shows (animes, Boondocks, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen, Harvey Birdman).
over here they still show those shows, but if they would be cancelled i would feel sorry, but i like most of the new series (but i never heard about totally drama island cuz CN is only avaible in the west of our country or with digital tv)
o and humor -> is most of the times rude, but not that much on tv. and 'I farted' depends on the context, way its said, who and were, i can imagine some people think its funny XD

Huzzah!
They exist, unfortunately. The fallen king of television, Cartoon Network has forsaken all of its previous successes, such as Bugs Bunny and Dexter's Laboratory, and instead replaced it with filth, such as Total Drama Action (the name alone warrants a headdesk) and Destroy Build Destroy.

CN suck ya they remove Ben 10 and pokemon as they adding some new crappy new show in december 2009
~Sirnight~
Come along, dear
My god when will people come to realize that their insignificant, sentence fragment of an opinion does not jusitify keeping a thread alive that will only spawn more sentence fragment-long replies of ignorancy. But I digress.
For one thing, they've started playing the Bugs Bunny and them again, even though the type of humor presented in them won't appeal to today's children, therefore losing viewers and therefore ratings, but eh. Long as people will flcok back when they aren't shunning the channel as a whole in the first place, right?
Obviously most people aren't even giving most of those new shows a chance. I'm sixteen, I grew up watching television in the 90's like you have no idea, so I guess that gives me some relevancy of "taste" for the era of animation we are so high-strung about here. Yes, there are some of the shows that aren't very good, or just plain suck and are obviously attempts to cash in from ratings. But really, I still find Cartoon Network an enjoyable place to watch cartoons. It's the only place you can really go for that anyway.
Chowder, and by effect, Flapjack, being made by the same creators, are wonderful examples. Even if it does resort to vulgar humor at times, which is inevitable really, so it is excusable, the shows use such fresh art styles, which are nice to see. Things are drawn well and most of the time it makes them feel like real cartoons, and not something done in flash that tries too hard or not enough. What I find just amazing is that the two shows in question will even switch mediums for certain scenes and sketches, which just shows a lot of heart in the work. How many cartoons make such use of stop-motion? And, yeah, even though it's more of a personal preference, I do enjoy the Total Drama series. It's a simple show, that I find goes for the whole "teen stereotype" without really going overboard, as it tries to still use the usual cartoon archtypes. In my eye, it brings together a kind of teen appeal with the classics, making it great for the majority of us that grew up in the 90's. I realize it could be just me, but it's a fun series, and I don't feel wierd watching it because it doesn't feel like it's trying to appeal to a certain audience.
So, short rant, yeah. But I think that coming form a person in my age and position, it means a lot to have some sort of positive outlook on some of these new shows. It isn't fair that I don't give them a try. After all, if CN gave us gems like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, etc; then what's to stop it from doing so again?
ya even though Ben 10 and Pokemon are still on.
