I'm mad at the Cartoon Network
Their idea for a 50-hour programming block this past weekend: "The Kids Next Door Mission Weekend. Is based on the premise that the Cartoon Network is being taken over by adults, that it is important to the network under "kid rule". I fail to see hoe CArtoon Network is "kid run" in any way. But stupid as it is there is delicious irony for jjust hour after this gigantic block which incorporates 5 CN Original progams ends, the "Adult Swim" programming block begins.

5. I want more of The Brak Show!
I also want to get the Cartoon Network on my TV so I can watch it!
Better yet, I would like a DVD to be released of the Brak show.

9. Me too, tarkus!
"The Brak Show" was the best thing on Adult Swim.

6. Parts of It Are Good

I like Courage, the Cowardly Dog (really eye-catching work and surreal story lines) and there was a lot of it on last night when I couldn't sleep.

7. Here in Holland
They dub Foxkids on TV all day. We don't let our children watch it because it is grossly violent. Disgusting brainwash techniques turning out little Republican warriors if you ask me.

Nickelodion is even hard to swallow sometimes, and I have to bring it 'round to European cartoons.

10. I'm mad at them for taking Looney Toons off the Saturday morning
lineup. Or at least they're not on as long as they used to be. They used to be on all morning. Then they cut it down to 9 to 11, with Tom and Jerry on from 11-12 (which I don't really like all that much). I went to turn it on Saturday at 10, and some new Cartoon Network production was on. They also used to have Hong Kong Phooey on and he's no longer in the lineup.
