Great Ochoa I want Cartoon Network to be the best place for cartoons.

I don't want Cartoon Network to keep making only cheap comedy shows with very not subtle, overly exaggerated and energetic, slapstick, etc humor while run-of-the-mill morals are shoved into kids in a way that makes them look stupid. One of the voice actors of Futurama, Billy West, ranted about stuff like that on a recent Nerdist Podcast episode. I don't want Cartoon Network to keep making shows like TTG, the PPG reboot, Uncle Grandpa, Clarence, and potentially the Ben 10 reboot. I want Cartoon Network to at least make more shows that are on the level of quality as shows such as Courage the Cowardly Dog, the original Ben 10, the original Teen Titans, Ed Edd n Eddy, etc.

Kids deserve better than this. Any cartoon fan deserves better than this. Kids deserve to watch cartoon shows that allows them to think more and be more intellectual; that allows them to truly and properly develop their minds. To properly teach them to be more creative; to have a better understanding of what goes around them; to be able to tell what is of good quality. Kids deserve shows that can teach them on what makes good action, comedy, horror, romance, suspense, drama, story, characters, settings, etc. Kids deserve cartoon shows that helps them be more creative. Not crap.

Echoson pointed out Ultiverse's cons of the Ben 10 reboot and responded back by saying "Wow, it's almost like it's a cartoon or something" as if those are the standards of what a cartoon show should be. I could be wrong on that interpretation though but either way, no, that's not the case at all. Any show, movie, video game, etc can have random words popping up on screen, slapstick, lack of logic, etc. Any form of entertainment art can have anything in it and that goes for a cartoon show as well. Or hell, anything that's animated. Much like other shows, movies, video games, etc, cartoon shows can have action, comedy, horror, drama, romance, suspense, etc. Cartoons aren't just cartoons. They're another form of entertainment art. They can have slapstick, random words popping up, lack of logic, etc but that doesn't mean that a lot of cartoon shows should. There's a difference between what can be put in and what should and shouldn't be put in. Cartoons aren't just for kids either. They're for anyone of any age to watch, get interested in, appreciate, etc.

I don't care if they owe us or not. I don't care if Cartoon Network really does want to bring in a new audience (which is BS because everyone knows that Cartoon Network just wants to cash in and milk out whatever value the Ben 10 series has left). I do care about them not caring about making good quality shows. I do care about them just making cheap cash grabs. I do care about the state that Cartoon Network is currently in today. I care more about the actual problems that are plaguing this network. Cartoon Network is going downhill and if they keep making crap like this, then eventually, if not soon, Cartoon Network is going to come to an end. Yeah, all things must come to an end but not like this. I along with many others want Cartoon Network to make changes and improvements that would better the company and channel in the long run. Like I said, I want Cartoon Network to go back to their old roots and be the best place for cartoons again. Sticking to their old roots worked before. Why not try that again? Asides from [adult swim] and possibly Netflix (both of which are not aimed at a younger market), yes, CN is clearly the best place for cartoons. Do they make kiddy kiddy shows (which i like) like Uncle Grandpa and PPG? HELL YES. But can you name one network that doesn't has a disappointing show on it? You want CN to make shows that share the quality of Courage the Cowardly Dog, Teen Titans and Ben 10. CN is making shows that are better than these by a long shot. CN has ambitious af and amazing shows like Steven Universe, Regular Show and Adventure Time. It breaks the boundaries of animation with modern classics like Over The Garden Wall. You don't like this CN because you're not looking in the right direction. CN is and will continue to be the best place for kid-friendly cartoons in the hopeful future.
