  • For those worried that Bugs Bunny Builders and Tiny Toons Looniversity have been put on indefinite hiatus, BBB is set to return to Cartoonito in October, so I guess it's not so indefinite after all.

    Given that CN is framing October as "Scoobtober", they could be saving the remaining Craig eps for November, since they're not Scooby and there's nothing spooky or Halloween themed about them, but don't quote me on that.

    @Silverstar Yeah, that could be possible. I was thinking about that, too.

    BBB is already in rotation. Just wanting to call out on CN/WBD for pulling the episodes and then promoting them anyway. False advertising.
    To anyone who watched Disney's Raw Toonage: why was Webby from DuckTales in the show's intro?


    She didn't appear in any episodes of the show, AFAIK. I only saw a few episodes of Raw Toonage, so maybe I just missed something.

    They probably wanted a generic character from the Disney Afternoon in the intro. Lots of characters from that block frequently made cameos on the show (some even hosted it!).

    True, plus Marsupilami appeared in a number of commercial bumps for TDA, though he wasn't actually a Disney character.

    Yeah, Disney probably wanted to use characters that kids already recognized from The Disney Afternoon. Otherwise, I have to wonder why Disney didn't just use the Sensational Six for this show.
    Ice Age 6 is currently in development.

    This is going to make a certain someone here VERY happy. :)
    Hot take: I've never seen a single episode of Kid Cosmic, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur or Hamster and Gretel, and I probably never will. After years of Powerpuff Girls I've basically had my fill of kid superheroes.

    I'm sure they are; I just have no interest in them.

    I understand where @Silverstar is coming from. I still haven't seen Batman: Caped Crusader, nor do I have any plans to because I can't take another freakin' Batman show! Seriously, DC, could you put Batman on the shelf for 3 or 4 years, so he'll be special again?

    I've seen the first handful of episodes of Hamster & Gretel (which I enjoyed) and the first episode of Kid Cosmic (meh, to be honest).

    Not sure how hot of a take this is though, as I don't think any of these shows have exactly set the world on fire.
    Recently the subject of the name Cartoon Cartoons came up and some wag chirped "Someone drunk must've come up with that name". Hee-larious. Dude, it's short for Cartoon Network Cartoons; is that really so out there and hard to grasp?

    Also, "they must've been drunk" isn't the all-purpose zinger this guy seems to think it is. Like this one kid in my English class who thought just invoking the magic word "quaalude" was the height of hilarity. Some people grow up and some people just get older.

    By that logic, it's okay to say Nicktoons and not Cartoon Cartoons. :/

    The shows so nice they named them twice.
    Y'all know how we've been saying that Zaslav and WBD hate Looney Tunes? Well, they apparently have a "huge plan" for the franchise that's set to roll out in 2028.

    The Boomerang YouTube channel has been rebranded into the Cartoon Cartoons channel.

    The folks saying "Disney should re-hire Beau DeMayo cause he kept X-Men '97 edgy!" might want to rethink that after what's come out. I won't link to anything, but it ain't good.

    All I kind find so far is that he was fired for behavior of an "egregious nature." That's what main media news outlets are saying. It almost sounds like he's trying to claim the "Gina Carano" defense (that he was fired for tweets).
    Apparently Steven Universe will start airing on Discovery Family (or is it DFC now?) on September 2nd.
    Man, everybody's pissed at Warner Bros Discovery for nuking the CN website.

    Which is interesting, because Nick.com has been mostly obliterated in the past few months ,the app is gone , can't watch episodes next day anymore , they just collapsed the nick jr site into it, show pages are gone unless it's Dora, Spongebob, Loud House, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, and TMNT. Small amount of games and those are mostly Nick Jr.

    @LinusFan303 Well, at least Paramount didn't obliterate Nick.com in favor of Paramount+.....at least not yet.
    @LinusFan303 laid it all out today: a new CEO won't solve WBD's problems, unless he/she is a gazillionaire. The company is the problem, not just who's running it. I for one will be backing off the "fire Zaslav" talk now.
    Of course now there are articles and posts of people railing on Zaslav for killing the Boomerang channel when it's just the streamer that's shutting down. I'm not saying don't dump on Zaslav but only blame him for stuff he actually does.

    A lot of people tend to forget that Turner Broadcasting didn't really care for Boomerang from the moment they want Cartoon Network to focus on original programming in order to compete against Nickelodeon. Sure, they tried to revitilized it for the past decade, but for the most part, they don't care as they saw it as CN's recycling bin. Thus, the audience aged out and moved on to streaming.
    JMTV

    Besides, it's not like the Boomerang app has anything special to go by. A lot of those titles could've easily ported over to Max. Why WBD have to wait for this long to realized it, I'll never know.

    Seriously. Zazlav sucks, but he's far from the only terrible person at WBD. There are a lot of bad things that have happened that he doesn't even have the power to do.
    My current avatar is Lot Lot from Primos, one of my fave characters from the show. The phrase below it is the name of an Aquabats album, one of my favorite bands. So double whammy tribute!
    WBD can split themselves up if they want to, but their problem is mismanagement, not structure. For one thing, they need to come up with a shorter name. Warner Bros Discovery is too many syllables; names should be short and memorable, they catch on a lot quicker.

    @JMTV They sold it to Discovery because they wanted out. They didn't pick him to run the company, his company bought the thing they didn't want.
    JMTV
    JMTV
    @LinusFan303 Uh huh. So Zaslav wanted WB, despite having no experience with scripted content, and thinking that writing off a lot of material was a perfect idea to get out of their debt?

    Okay, gotcha.

    Funny, after Discovery bought WB, they rebranded Discovery shows as WB reality shows on FAST. What’s bizarre.
    If Zazzy Dawg put us all through hell for two years with this WB/Discovery merger only to go backsies on it, I'd be both ecstatic and pissed at the same time.

    The conversation is more they want to break up things like Lionsgate and Starz did, so still owned together but separate and it wouldn't be Discovery/WB it'd be like the Movie studio streaming stuff and the linear TV as separate things. The real moral that man hopefully learned was never play golf again because AT&T was way tooo eager to give up Warner because it was cursed.

    @LinusFan303 Yeah, that's a good point and you're right about the Lionsgate/Starz comparison, now I think about it.

    The split isn't back into Warner and Discovery the split is just so they can dump their (probably unprofitable) cable division into a separate company which could unfortunately be more bad news for Cartoon Network/Adult Swim.

    Debating with a "vulgar wave" dude bro is like playing chess with a pigeon: they crap all over the board, knock down the pieces then strut around like they've won.

I am incapable of binge watching. I won't do it. Unfortunately, many shows on streaming are made to be binged.
It's a shame what has happened to the Internet Archive. Tons of lost media and pieces of history might be gone forever if the site isn't back up.

Good ol' times from 2005 on Adult Swim.
