So I have been completely removed from Cable TV pretty much my whole life, didn’t even really have it as a kid so I never got used to it. Well, I’m in the hospital right now so I’ve been watching a lot of TV, and I love animation so it’s been Cartoon Network for the most part (and some Disney Channel when Bluey is on). And holy shit, the way they do their programming now is fucking atrocious.

First off, the new shows. I’m not here to be some fucking boomer complaining about “kids these days”, I’m asking where these new shows are. I haven’t seen a show from the past 10 years other than Teen Titans Go, and even then they play the same episodes every time. I keep seeing ads for Craig of the Creek, a show I’d love to watch, but it’s nowhere to be found. They’ve also been advertising a new show called Iyanu and it looks pretty good. Only one issue, they’re premiering it at 9:30 in the morning on a fucking Monday. How do you expect kids to ever watch this shit?

And what’s worse is half the shows that are being shown right now premiered at 6-7pm when I was a kid, so what changed? Adult Swim starts at 4 now, sure they usually start with older shows (watching Courage The Cowardly Dog now) or more PG shows like Bob’s Burgers or King of the Hill.

Cartoon Network has completely abandoned children to pander to millennials and I hate it. The children aren’t getting anything new anymore, they’re getting rebroadcast the exact same shit. I’ve been watching pretty much 24/7 since I ended up in the hospital and still haven’t seen anything I wasn’t watching as a kid. Do kids not deserve to have shit to be excited about? Are the only options for new cartoons for children right now Bluey and SpongeBob spin-offs?
