[Micahel Cataldo]

Boomerang will air more classic cartoons by Hanna-Barbera, Ruby-Spears and Warner Bros in their rebranded channel.

 

[The Master C]

- Toonami does more special nights for HBO Max and theaters debuts of the new Mortal Kombat film, The Matrix 4, The Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder's Justice League by airing Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge, The Animatrix, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay and Justice League: War or Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

I completely forgot about the Snyder Cut. I guess I really wanted to purge it from my mind after not being able to read WarnerMedia tweets without having to sift through Snyder Cut requests.

 

[AdrenalineRush1996]

My only prediction, which will likely be false - Teen Titans Go! will finally end.

 

[Zanneck]

* I need that Gumball movie to happen so the show can get a proper ending. That's about it, really. Anything else that happens, let it be.

* TTG! ain't getting canned, even if it ain't my cup of tea, because kids love it far too much. I'd stop begging for that, if I were you guys, honestly. As long as it's making CN actual money, I'd give up on such wishes, already.

As for anything else I care about:

* Yeah..... We'd be better off wishing for something that is truly pathetic of an excuse as a show as Victor and Valentino getting the axe, instead - now there's a show that honestly needs to go for failing at what's required of a cartoon to actually be worth watching.

* If Craig of the Creek ends after 3 seasons, I can rest easy knowing it had a consistently good run. Unlike TLH/Casagrandes, I don't find myself annoyed or bored from repetition after watching an episode, which is why I'm sad to ultimately see it go if S3 is the last, but it did its job, so it'll be a happy enough sending off from me, personally.

* Summer Camp Island could use another season to continually improve upon itself. That's all I have to say about that, besides stop coming off so cutesy and crap like that!

* Mao Mao definitely needs to finish its first season and get on that second season already, however - this show is actuaoly too good/pure action and comedy worth something to die as it is, now...

* If DCSHG (2019) comes back for a second season, I expect it to be better written than it was in S1, because said show needs some SERIOUS work in the writing department - as is, it's just boring/bad comedy with barely any potential for something better and it could use a kick in its butt (HARD) if it's gonna keep going.
Look here - I'm not asking for Young Justice levels of serious to be injected into it - but what little I've seen of Justice League Action was actually good; DCSHG (2019) could use a kick in the rear on that specific level, honestly. And cut out the girls vs. boys crap - that's really what's dragging this pretty looking mess of a show down so much for me, personally!

* HBO Max could replace CN tomorrow and I'd be fine with it.

Mao Mao already finished it's first season back in July, and DCSHG was renewed for a second season.

 

[Zanneck]

Mao Mao already finished it's first season back in July, and DCSHG was renewed for a second season.

Mao Mao can keep up the good work, then. It's DCSHG (2019) that's got some serious work to do, since again, I don't trust the writers on that like I need to be able to, unfortunately.

Everything else I said still stands. That, and [AS] should lose the 8 and 9 PM hours - too bad I don't trust CN to do anything of note with them, but whatever. This is keeping in mind that [AS] is a sinking ship, just like CN is, when it comes to its schedule and how to make it worthwhile sticking around for, as of late... Hence why streaming (HBO Max) is winning, where both are unfortunately losing out.

I know but the series pretty much has overstayed it's welcome and I think it's time for the writers to come up with ways to end the cartoon (hopefully this year; my bet is they'll wrap the show up with either a clip show or an epilogue special)

 

[EdCNPowerpuffDrama]

Ninjago and bakugan are cancelled.

They won't. They're both confirmed to be getting another season, or in Ninjago's case, seasons (at least 3 more are confirmed to be happening). The next season of Ninjago is rumored to come out in the first half of this year, but who knows if that will end up happening.

 

[CNC]

Many good predictions have been made (also I came here because apparently my “ultimate ideal Boomerang schedule” chart became this thread’s header image)

I’m hoping Toonami will finally air Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (or as some viewers call it...”Ed Edd n Eddy: The Anime”) It’s a very popular anime.....about making anime. Despite me enjoying every single episode during its original run last year....it still doesn’t have an English dub announcement. And I think it’s a good fit for the block.

I feel like Mo Willems will keep working with CN more, now that he’s working on a couple of new shows for both CN and HBO Max. (after his first show, Sheep in the Big City) Also, I’m hoping they’ll air Season 5 of Ben 10. Somebody told me months ago that the season will be made up of “mini-specials” or something like that. And finally....I predict CN will start airing Tiny Toons Looniversity this year.

Meanwhile, [adult swim] should really consider pitching more half-hour animated comedies to fill in that Family Guy (and soon, Bob’s Burgers) hole, should they ever keep the 8pm hour. (Like they’re doing with Teenage Euthanasia)

I hope they air season 5 of Ben 10 soon too. They said they are doing one hour specials.

I think that Adult Swim they just air remakes of their original idents from there launch 2001, also for the sign off they will show the gravestones of family guy and bobs burgers. This is my ideas for adult swims 20th anniversary

 

[Streaker Prower]

[Streaker Prower]

[Vuxovich]

I expect the new Xiaolin Showdown show on Cartoon Network.

 

[Streaker Prower]

In 2020:
Nickelodeon had 11 full series premieres (It's Pony, Crystal Maze, Young Dylan, Danger Force, Ollie's Pack, Group Chat, Unfiltered, Santiago, Unleashed, Side Hustle, Astronauts)

Disney Channel had 3 (Owl House, Fam Jam, Mira)

Cartoon Network had 1 (ThunderCats Roar)

 

[Tweetie Pie 2000]

I’m excited to see Elliot from Earth.

 

[Tacomaster]

• Cartoon Network will acquire the 9 PM hour from [adult swim] permanently, due to the Cartoonito block eating up a huge chunk of time(6a-2p) and [as] losing Family Guy and other Fox shows.
• They will NOT, however, take the 10 PM hour.
• Cartoonito will be weekdays only, like its contemporaries Nick Jr. and Disney Junior.
• Also like them, Cartoonito may soon get a channel(the initial schedule might just be the block's schedule on loop, given that it's gonna be 8 hours) replacing Boomerang.
• To make up for the loss of Boomerang, the low-rated weekend afternoon slots will be given to classic cartoons from both CN and the WB/Turner libraries.
• The family block will not only consist of movies, but also shows like Family Mash-Up, Tweety Mysteries, and the only show actually confirmed for the family slate as of now, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal.
• Sunday mornings will have a girl block featuring Gross Girls, DC Super Hero Girls, Jade Armor, and other girl-targeted series.
• To contrast, Saturdays will be more boy-focused. Gender-neutral shows will move to Friday nights.
• More and more HBO Max cartoons will make their debuts on linear, such as Looney Tunes Cartoons and The Fungies. Newer cartoons will debut simultaneously with CN.
