Live-Action on Cartoon Network: Where do you stand?

[danreyes1]

btw, can someone shed some light as to what purpose the bumpers serve? I've always wondered that for years now. Does it really attract more viewers? Does it fill up time? Or what? I mean wouldn't it be more profitable to just air more commercials instead as suppose to investing money in these bumpers? I was able to tolerate them ok back when Toonami's (animated) bumpers occasionally did a great job at hyping me up to watch the upcoming anime. But as it stands currently, I find myself preferring commercials over garbage like Friday's & Fried Dynamite any day for so many reasons. Also, is it just me, or does anyone else feel they've gotten dumber and dumber after everytime they hear "Fall is just something that grown-ups invented"?

Here's an entire thread on the fall bumpers. Enjoy.

I have never seen CN this low in my life of watching it. Its really sad to see this happen but I guess all they want is fast ratings, money and cheap effort.

The Cartoon Network had many changes 'n i hate it, coz i don't accept those revolution new rules, if it happen i'll be missing all those old times since my childhood until today

The suits at CN don't care what we think they need to do. They're motivated by the bottom line, and if that means putting live-action programming on CN, where it doesn't really belong, then so be it. It's been this way for 2 years now, and that's the way it's going to be. However, there are ways to fix this problem......

1. Movies: They should only air l-a films that are tied to animated programming. They struck while the iron was hot with Ben 10: Race Against Time, and apparently the ratings justified their risk, and gives them ammo to sustain their present programming strategem.

Meanwhile, a roster of l-a movies that would be acceptable on CN is like this:

Osmosis Jones (has already aired)
Scooby-Doo (has already aired)
Phantom Tollbooth
Batman and related films
Space Jam (if they can get it)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (has already aired on CN)
Looney Tunes: Back in Action (if they can get it)

What didn't/doesn't belong?:

Small Soldiers (animatronic action figures are not the same as normal animated characters and are considered special effects, IMPO)
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
School of Rock

Balto has a live-action opening, but is otherwise animated.

You would have to PM a mod about that. Just posting it out of the blue won't help much in the long run.

Will do. If more controversy happens with this issue down the line, another thread will be made. But now is not the time.
