Now, we all know CN doesn't give a shit about One Piece. That much has already been established. However, I'm starting to get the feeling that CN has lost interest in Naruto as well. I haven't seen a commercial for it in what seems like forever. Also, they stopped repeating it in the afternoon. Now, given that Naruto is their highest rated show, I find this sort of puzzling. The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that CN wants to only promote is own programming.
Has CN forgotten about Naruto?

Don't they play it before Adult Swim on weekdays?

Somehow I think they just don't want to promote their action shows at all unless its a more kiddy-style series to get their core audience. (Pokemon, Bakugan Battle Brawlers, the new Ben 10 series) Its probably just being lost in demographics: sure it gets them one audience but its not the one that will help them chip away at Nickelodeon's dominance.

i'd laugh if it was because they just reached the fillers

Funny you should say that. After starting this thread, I went over to the cesspool known as Toon Zone. Over in the CN section, they have their new report on the ratings. Let me tell you, ratings are WAY DOWN. In what I can only describe as an act of God, Adult Swim is actually starting to become more popular with the K6-11 demo than CN is. It would seem that their strategy of pimping out Blake and his merry band of child-prostitutes isn't paying off for them. I'm both happy and depressed at the same time.

The whole friggin network needs restructuring. And Blake is the first thing that I'd get rid of, no question. From there, then it gets more difficult:
-Get more creator-owned series ala the good old days. "Chowder" is a start but could get tired quick if they overrerun it.
-Bring back the classics to get a more varied audience
-Start investing a bit in Toonami and non-kiddy action shows. (hopefully "Clone Wars" is a starting point on that)
-The most important of all: CN has to realize they'll never be Disney Channel or Nick, so stop trying to ape on their successes and find their own core that doesn't want live action crap or the sponge. -

Now that's funny.
-
So who do you wish was dead over this one Gary?
-
This is a useless topic. Like look at one thing. Once it's March again (thats when they do the crappy marathons), Naruto would be more focused on, like it always had been, by CN.
Plus, even though it doesnt get as much viewers as AS (especially when it have DN, and in 9 days its most popular anime is back).
Just wait and see what happens
-
They used the series for all it's worth. Now they cast it aside in its time of filler.
No
Loyalty
Whatsoever..CN is truly the lowest of the low.
-
You know what pisses me of about not only Cartoon Network,but the anime slot of RTL II as well?They have this big assed campaign every time they add/prolong something, but any time they remove it,they just do it without warning,or worse,insult us,by saying its an ADITION.
I mean,RTL II had this comercial on anime til 17:30 till way in the begining of christmas-coems new year,the slot gets shortened to 16:00 within two weeks.

What the fuck is your obsession with CN?
-
nostalgia and naruto hatred are not reasons enough?

Not directed at you. Sorry for not stating that. It was more pointed towards the topic creator.

I thought you were,considering my involement (read:usurpation) in the CN:Shutting down thread.

Lobolover
Wai do U h8 Naruto?
Do U even give it a Chancey?
I know it's a rival series, but your hatred for it seems unfounded. It's crazy, man. Crazy.

I visit the "OP vs. Naruto" forum at NF.-nuff said.

Like I've doing that would just be pointless do to the fact that Boomerang now serves as a retirement home for older and slightly younger cartoon shows
and also due to the fact that no new episodes of the shows are going to be produced. -
If your referring to the new Clone Wars series I don't know why should they get it and not someone else CN already had a Clone Wars series.
-
Disney & Nick aren't worth shit especially the latter.

The classics still get an audience. Why the heck did they bring back the old Scooby Doo show from 1969 and never get rid of Tom & Jerry? Its not about more episodes, its about variety…and from the perspective of the crap CN calls programming, they need more of that.
- If your referring to the new Clone Wars series I don't know why should they get it and not someone else CN already had a Clone Wars series.
The new animated Clone Wars is already confirmed for CN. That's why.
- Disney & Nick aren't worth shit especially the latter.
Tell that to the CN producers who want to have the same success they have with their crap. The thing is that they find things that connect to their core or target audience that CN isn't as good at or is trying to lure away instead of getting an audience that isn't an exact clone. The truth is this: Disney has their LA crap (Hannah Montana, the horrific HSM franchise, all those live action shows), Nick has their own crap of varying degrees (their own LA "kids just like you only…" shows, cartoons they won't let die like Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents because they are as horrible on creating and cultivating new toons as CN) and CN should really find their own niche instead of trying to steal from those two.
-
No, I don't think Network has forgotten about Naruto.
They merely don't advertise it as much. It's still on for half of Toonami. -

I was alway puzzled by the fact that Tom & Jerry is one of the only older cartoons that I can think of that's still on CN eventhough it's on Boomerang.

Fairly Oddparents can stay (despite it being a bit iffy in regards to new episodes) I don't know about Spongebob and what is LA & HSM the latter seems familiar the former I don't know.
-
LA = Live Action
HSM = High School Musical
-
Oh I knew HSM rung a bell.

-
it's the fillers guys, naruto sucks C3 ya he-ard. That's y OP is the greatest anime evar <3.
XD XD XD
-
Eh CN always does this. Advertise for a few eps in detail then just say "oh we got new eps" and leave it at that. They did it for One Piece when it was just starting out and pretty much any show that were new at the time. Though sometime they do drop the ball and don't really advertise at all until they show the new ep) (Juniper Lee, Megas, KND to name a few)

@Sandai:

I used to like Fairly Oddparents but the last set of episodes just weren't as good…and this whole idea of adding a baby just doesn't appeal to me, like its an excuse to bring the show back after they finally pried Hartman away from Danny Phantom. There really is no further reason for me to turn to Nick like the good old days.
-
I haven't seen the Fairly Oddbaby special so I can't comment on it.
-
It looked pretty stupid to me.
I may try to catch it though. Is the baby gonna be a regular character now?
-
Hell, CN doesn't even promote Transformers, and that's been on for only over a month.
-
@Mr.:
It looked pretty stupid to me.

Apperently so…
-
Ugh, everytime a new baby gets added to a show, that usually means the end is near.
At least in my experience. Except maybe with Rugrats.
-
I don't get what makes you think CN forgot about Naruto. It's still gets 2 new back to back episodes each week. CN doesn't promote a lot of their shit, you don't just constantly promote something. If anything, the time they were promoting it they were losing audience, and that they're not now is cause they regained it.
-
The 2 new episodes thing personally kind of seems like filler.
-
@Sandai:

Well that's because they are. We're currently 6/85 through the filler period.
-
does ANYTHING even happen in those 85 episodes?
and on top of that,which genius thought it would be "GOOD" to do 2 full seasons of filler anyway?
-
@Tokoro:

No I meant time filler meaning the show is meant to fill up a time slot that has nothing else to go in there.
which genius thought it would be "GOOD" to do 2 full seasons of filler anyway?
Blame that on the geniuses who think it's a good idea to make an anime adaptation of manga while the original series is still going on.
-
look at OP and then repeat that argument.
-
Say what about it?
-
its the same thing as naruto,heck,theres 100 extra chapters of plot.so why the hell did they think it was necessary to milk the "pre puberty" naruto image,when they meant to start shipuuden next ANYway?Wouldnt a BREAK suffice?
-
I don't think they could take a break (a long one mind you)
-
Speaking of "Half of Toonami"
It's only 2 Hours now? What's Up with that?
They cut even more into the only GOOD block on CN with the same crap they show everyday…
facepalm
And they're STILL showing Goosebumps? WTF? Isn't it long out of season?
-
they been showing Scooby Doo almost not stop since they started broadcasting more then 10 years ago.A show from 1969.But THATS at least a clasic,whereas the crap of today should be rounded up,burnt and danced around its graves,singing hallellujah.

For the record Toonami (not the saturday block) was two hours long.
-
oh.
well,like I said,you can bet your bottom dollar if it gets cut even more,there wont be a word breathed about it on the screen,in turn theyll glorifully anounce the extension of some crap time day show.

Scooby did take a break for a few years but I guess they decided to bring it back with "What's New Scooby Doo" on the network now. Its like the only reason they brought it back.
My guess why Goosebumps didn't go away was one word: ratings. They got good ratings for them breaking into Toonami time so they stuck with it. Sadly, with the monkeys who control programming, anything that gets ratings ends up overplayed to the point of no ratings and removal.

no one got my "4 yorshiremen" reference?Oh well.
yeah,I dont get it.If you know people like something,why not TEASE them for it amd make it steadily used,rather then repeat the same episode three times a day and ending up having everyone sick of it?I mean I could run CN better.
-
Why don't you just watch another channel?
CN's old programming was pretty overrated, anyways.
I understand your nostalgia-stuff, but seriously, if you don't enjoy how things are going on, why don't just switch channels and stop bitching about something that apparently many kids are enjoying?….

cause we dont want the next generation to be a hord of fuck tubes.
