Pastel isn't that bad, EMEA could have always reworked it and used more assets. We seem to be forgetting that CN US's use of Dimensional was almost as bland. EMEA isn't doing much better with sticking to a 10-year old look. They could have at least made a "Dimensional 2.0", but instead, they...

Because people tend to get bored with what they have and start praising something they don't. I'm sure a lot of Americans would take their word back if they actually saw the EMEA feeds.

I haven't watched CN RSEE/CEE in years and I refuse to, aside from recording breaks and checking it for a couple of minutes. It's a really bad channel that I doubt is ever going to escape its post-2014 state. I find CN US much more enjoyable (especially with Adult Swim) and the shows don't have...

It's pretty lazy, as other streaming services tend to have as much subtitles as dubs if not more. It's also pretty inconvenient for me, as I'm used to watching stuff with English captions or Bulgarian subtitles, because I sometimes can't hear certain words.

Regular Show was basically "the first cracks", but instead of fixing them, they decided to break things even more and thus we got the modern iteration of CN Europe.

I also remember the M6 logo.

Clarence is a show from their favorite decade and is generally not very risky (after a fair amount of censorship, of course). You wouldn't see that kind of treatment with Steven Universe, an action series, or anything pre-2010, unless it's CN WE and even that has its limits. I'm betting Uncle...

CN WE and CN CEE's sudden care for Regular Show is only due to the new series premiering in a couple of months, same for Adventure Time.

I see they have a lot of free time on their hands for such useless tasks instead of running a good channel. It's absurd to make so many cuts for a 7-minute segment that was already fine for kids.

So much effort has been put into making this mess, rather than just releasing all episodes uncut. It's sad that one of the most popular animated series will never get a proper release in Europe.

Boomerang Canada is a rerun channel, they don't do premieres. CN Canada has also recently become one, following Corus losing the rights to Nickelodeon series and the move of several CN shows to YTV. It should be noted that while Fionna and Cake, Gumball and TTG moved to YTV, the Total Drama...

They could just dub these shows in the missing languages for CN CEE and HBO Max. It's not like they have tons of premieres right now.

They also had The Jetsons (24th Century Mecha-Mix), Mars Forever, the Yogi Bear one, Pepe Le Pew and even the Super Friends one, despite not ever airing the show on the feed.

Actually, it did, but I can't remember the song very well, neither do I know what song CN CEE is using (if someone can point it out, it would be great). If I recall correctly, there were also various shorter cuts of the promo, likely to fill the breaks, just like they did with the...

They might have permanent rights to the show as they commissioned the post-season 1 episodes.

I see people are speculating on a name change for the CN feeds, but it's not certain who actually gets the Cartoon Network trademark. Pretty sure The Cartoon Network, Inc. has it, which also owns the US versions of CN/AS and Boomerang, so my bets are on Discovery. Personally, it's better off...

One of the announcers was Peter Dickson, who was also the announcer for The X Factor UK and E4 and the voice of Number 1 from Tales of FEAR. He was my personal favorite and the voice I tend to associate Cartoon Network with. I really hate how calm and boring the announcers usually are nowadays.

Meanwhile, CN Japan is airing Attack on Titan.

Heavily censored to ridiculous levels. They have to leave something in, they can't change the plots of the series. It doesn't make them bold when they censor the stupidest things, like a pair of shows in the background or adding a plate for Rigby. Also, shows like Adventure Time and Regular...

I wouldn't say "slightly". CN went from a free-spirited attitude to being one of the most conservative kids' channels in Europe, having been compared to 4Kids and Spacetoon. Nick and Disney may be pretty sanitized nowadays, but I wouldn't compare them to CN EMEA levels. Regular Show and the...

Because they don't want people to see a "vulgar" version of their shows anywhere. I'm sure 90% of the stuff they've censored won't get them fined in Europe, because we don't live in hardcore authoritarian countries, but I guess some people at Turner EMEA would.

I doubt there's an increase in any team, let alone in a "censorship" team. I'm sure EMEA has had a lot of staff and budget cuts too, but it's silly (and even quite sad) they still have this "devotion" on censoring shows more than actually making good television channels.

Reminder that dozens of creative people working at CN/AS in the US got laid off, but they left the soccer moms at CN EMEA who can't even do their stupid useless job right.

The fact that none of these shows have any Ukrainian translation, even though the platform has launched in the country, shows how lagging HBO Max Europe is compared to Netflix and Prime Video, which typically order Ukrainian dubs for their shows.

Or they can just order new dubs like a normal TV channel.

Maybe CN will finally give it a shot or at least air the lighter shows like Unicorn, My Adventures with Superman, and Invincible Fight Girl. Ha-ha-ha!

I'm pretty sure if they had plans to add these shows in CEE, they would have added them today, considering most things get added in all of Europe.

Speaking of aging up a kids channel: Super Toons, a Bulgarian kids channel that airs preschool shows like Masha and the Bear and Bob the Builder, and older Canadian/European cartoons like Johnny Test, the original Bakugan series, Winx Club and The Super Mario Bros. Show, will start airing anime...

I'm not saying it's not going to Adult Swim in the US, but Canada is kind of weird, because the channels are actually run by Corus and WBD is only giving them the shows and branding licenses. They seem to be moving Gumball and Teen Titans Go! premieres to YTV, so Cartoon Network Canada may be...

CN UK was actually pretty close to getting an Adult Swim block back in 2002, iirc. (@RegularCapital could back me up on this.) Prior to CNX launching, they had Home Movies and Baby Blues in the evening lineup. Going further back, there was also AKA Cult Toons and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. CNX...

Gonna bump this, but... CNX was way ahead of its time and back then they didn't have enough programming to justify its existence. That TruTV block was always intended to be for a limited time, and if I'm not mistaken, it was already a dying channel in Turner's eyes. The other blocks were never...

They could sell the streaming rights, but will most likely not. Europe mistreated most of these shows. They were also the first to purge them from HBO Max.

Yeah, I can see the CN/WB preschool shows and whatever acquired show they're obliged to air popping in those morning slots before being replaced by regular CN programming again. I'm surprised how long the block survived, but I'm not surprised it failed. There were several attempts (most notably...

Their plan for the classics is to ignore them with the occasional "tease". It's been like that since 2014. Honestly, I have a hard time imagining today's kids loving Teen Titans Go and Gumball, but not enjoying Flapjack and Chowder because of a tiny number next to the copyright sign in the credits.

We may bash them for being anti-classics, but they're also pretty anti-new too. Most new shows only get to air for a couple of weeks before vanishing from the schedule. How can they establish themselves if the viewers can barely catch them? It's like the channel is purposely sabotaging them. And...

Even better, it's an hour-long slot.

Adventure Time returns to CN CEE on June 2 at 21:30!

Don't get your hopes up too much! While these clips contain lines, unlike the classic Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry oney they've been uploading recently that were completely lineless, CN EMEA just loves teasing that they care about the classics, only to back down and pretend nothing happened...

They're gonna bankrupt the channel and/or traumatize the kiddies from airing something before 2010!
