When did Cartoon Network peak, user?
When did Cartoon Network peak, user?

Toonami, particularly Dragon Ball Z.
There was never exactly a "peak" era, Cartoon Network has always been in the shadow of Nickelodeon.
Luke Hill
Late 90s, early 2000s
Blake Kelly
Nathaniel Green
Summer 2006. After that it died along with Nick.
Truly the kino years were from
1998 - 2006.
Oliver Harris
Remember Cartoon Network flash games?
Christopher Lopez
I fucking hate Scrappy
Ethan Morales
But of course.
Thomas Peterson
I don't understand that. He was the brave one
Nathan Butler
FPBP
Austin Long
Grayson Roberts
>the old CN flash layout
GOD BRING IT BACK
Kevin Wilson
>carries your network
Parker Ortiz
It peaked in the mid-2000s up until the early 2010s when CN was starting to go through the CN Real phase.
Elijah Cooper
1997-2004.
Christian Perez
I've seen some Gen Zers unironically claim the live action eras of CN and Nickelodeon were the golden ages. So now I just think it means "era you grew up with"
So late 90's cartoon cartoons for me
Noah Reyes
>I've seen some Gen Zers unironically claim the live action eras of CN and Nickelodeon were the golden ages.
there's no fucking way
Jonathan Campbell
It comes down to when you were born.
Sebastian Ward
You now remember this exists.
You now realize that the BGM is the Thong Song.
Noah Hill
Jesus fuck, first TV I was allowed to watch, and even then I thought it was shit
Bentley Roberts
>when did CN peak?
when I was an impressionable young twat, then in highschool I discovered anime only to find out later that anime is shallow and an even bigger lost cause, then I went back on cartoons and I've been watching Steven Universe since..
Nathaniel Kelly
Is that true user?
Jaxson Brooks
I refuse to believe that. 2009 was the dark year for CN. So bad that Adventure Time survived and thrived purely by not being like anything that came from that.
Logan Taylor
>I’ve been watching Steven Universe since..

The golden age was definitely over by 2007, which is when the Dark Times started. Live action shit with child actors, reality shows, and terrible flash / toonboom animated garbage from Canada started flooding in in the late 00s. It was so bad that even the faggy pastel likes of Adventure Time was hailed as a renaissance despite it being a pale shadow of truly great shows of 10 years ago.
Christopher Scott
Yeah, I usually cite Out of Jimmy’s Head being the first step of CN’s Dark Age.
Owen Clark
Adventure Time at least enjoyed a dedicated fanbase until the end unlike the "golden age" cartoons whose viewership quickly tapered off in the later seasons.
Liam Hernandez
I'm not seeing how a "dedicated fanbase" is a positive thing. It's just an obnoxious group of obsessives that ruin online discussion of the show for everybody with their ridiculous "head canons" and endless shipper wars. The fact that the golden age was largely spared this form of lunacy is why it's remembered so fondly.
Josiah Jenkins
stop refering to your rose tinted nostalgia as "golden age" you gigantic spergs.
Jordan Morales
Sorry but the late 90s and early 00s were objectively the best era. More memorable shows came out of it than any other time period for CN. The bulk of the 00s is a fucking wasteland of forgettable trash and shit that I hope becomes lost media.
Oliver Taylor
but it was, that's just the reality of the situation
Jaxson Morris
why would i press either one?
Cameron Martinez
Bait
Charles Collins
Disgusting.
Owen Reed
Dedicated fans mean the show still gave people reasons to watch it.
You rarely see anybody who remembers the later Dexter's Lab, The Power Puff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, and Johnny Bravo seasons fondly. In fact, they'll pretend they never existed.
Jacob Baker
If you don't both buttons get pressed.
Leo Hernandez
no they wont, you're just trying to press my buttons arent you user?
Dominic Garcia
I don't know anyone who thinks the later seasons of Ed Edd N' Eddy are flat out unwatchable, just lower quality.
Aaron White
dont worry DCSHG will save the network
Colton Edwards
Believe in Esteban
Aaron Thomas
It died when my grandmother died. I'd always watch cartoon network at her house cuz my parents would only have me watch educational shit at home
Nathan Ramirez
I know it's not nostalgia because I think 30s/40s Loony Tunes and Tom&Jerry is way better than all the cheap Hanna Barbera shit that came after them
Luis Gutierrez
for me, it's CN City
Owen Cox
I was such a stupid little kid, I couldn't complete any level of this.
I remember playing that Courage TV game all the time.
Jayden Taylor
I'd press the green on in an instant
Losing Samurai Jack, Billy & Mandy and Teen Titans would hurt but the red side has better shows all around
Liam Moore
Season 2 and 3 of Johnny Bravo were the best ones though
Easton Peterson
Imagine believing this, they made Johnny retarded and introduced pointless characters like Carl.
Cameron Martinez
about 97 to 07
Adam Collins
Reminder that Jim Samples caused Cartoon Network's decline, not Stuart Snyder.
He got rid of the 90s Cartoon Cartoons and replaced them with flat-out mediocre shows like Camp Lazlo, Puffy AmiYumi, Squirrel Boy, and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, took down classic cartoon blocks like Toonheads and Late Night Black & White, was the original pusher of live-action on CN with Re-Animated, and pushed Fred Fredburger to become CN's mascot.
Asher Myers
Oh god, the "Yes" era. That was the worst.
Alexander Martinez
really cn could have made its most popular golden age shows go on forever like nick does spongebob but is just too risk averse
Jackson Taylor
I still think it's a shame we never got that Ed Edd n Eddy feature film. If only the Powerpuff Girls Movie wasn't a flop...
Jonathan Carter
At least you got a movie retard, movies for Courage and Cow and Chicken were considered, but didn't happen. Be grateful Edfag.
Nathan Watson
Jonathan Ramirez
Fuck off zoomer.
Grayson White
better no movie. I was a ppg fan and the movie disappointed, it could have been the series culmination but we got a background story
Camden Sullivan
Manchildren deserve death
Evan Ramirez
How did Cartoon Network go from this...
Jaxson Stewart
TO THIS??
Daniel Mitchell
Like your granny.
Now go back to class Alex.
Christian Turner
Powerhouse was the Best Time
City was just as Good but not better.
2007 was the beginning of the end
Noods was the decline but there were still goods shows like Batman:Brave and the Bold and Adventure Time, Alien Force, Star Wars, Secret Saturdays.
Check It was when it went to shit but there were still a few good shows like Young Justice, Gumball, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Sym-Bionic Titan.
Dimensional was just shit. OK KO was the only redeeming quality this era has so far.
Lincoln Hernandez
Why do many CN creators look so fucking disgusting? Ian JQ, Rebecca Sugar, Kyle Carrozza, pic related etc...
Don't they do any quality control over these people?
Dylan Powell
Don't you DARE badmouth Camp Lazlo.
Brandon Mitchell
Liberals
Daniel Collins
Cartoon cartoons era
Jaxson Ross
It's not like their visage is being used for widespread appeal like actors, so why make an issue over it? Also
>implying you look any better
Samuel Anderson
It really has become less of a bastion for unique and creative shows and more of a place to dump safe and cookie cutter baby shows. CN might as well make some sort of CN Jr. If they insist on pumping out shows to just sit a toddler in front of for a few hours.
Jace Cook
It's zoomershit and part of the dark ages of Cartoon Network.
Chase James
>Don't they do any quality control over these people?
so what, its not important in animation. They are not salesmen, supermodels, actors
