  1. How I would change/fix Cartoon Network

    I dislike the current programming schedule Cartoon Network has. By extension, I hate whatever Adult Swim is going. Every so often, in IRC, I tend to bitch about how I would change things and put better programs. I finally decided to get it in writing so the entire world can see how awesome I am. Also the main difference between Toonami and Adult Swim will be that the latter will have more liberties in editing concerning blood, weapons and curse words.

    Monday to Friday [Toonami/Adultswim]

    • 10:00pm: Dragonball Z Kai/Bleach
    • 10:30pm: One Piece
    • 11:00pm: Naruto
    • 11:30pm: Kekkaishi
    • 12:00am [Adultswim]: King of the Hill
    • 12:30am [Adultswim]: Family Guy
    • 1:00am [Adultswim]: Freakazoid/Pinky and the Brain/Animaniacs
    • 1:30am [Adultswim]: Boondocks
    • 12:00pm-2:00pm: Repeat viewings of Toonami block from previous day.

    The first change is to make the Toonami block air late night. Let’s be honest. Kids are stupid. They’ll watch anything. CN should aim for the older teens, young adults with the shows because it is them who remember how good things were in the past. I focused on Shonen Jump series because I say so. DBZ Kai will only have 100 episodes so it can be replaced by Bleach after some repeat viewings. The rest of the series on Toonami are ongoing and most likely surpass 250 episodes. I included repeat viewings for the next day for kicks. Even though with DVR and online viewing, it becomes harder to miss an episode but you never know.

    Saturday/Sunday [Toonami/AS]

    • 9:00pm: Batman: The Animated Series/The New Batman/Superman Adventures (Only new episodes, not the repeats)/Batman Beyond
    • 9:30pm: Superman: The Animated Series/Justice League/JL:Unlimited
    • 10:00pm: Megas XLR 
    • 10:30pm: Beast Wars
    • 11:00pm: G Gundam/Gundam Wing (Designated Gundam time)
    • 11:30pm: Rurouni Kenshin
    • 12:00am [AS]:Outlaw Star/Yu Yu Hakusho
    • 12:30am [AS]: Tenchi
    • 1:00am [AS]: Full Metal Alchemist/Evangelion
    • 1:30am[AS]: Samurai Champloo/Cowboy Bebop
    • 2:00am-7:00am: Repeat viewings of everything from above. Starting with Batman and ending with CB.

    I managed to assign future shows to replace the prior ones like Superman & Batman. Batman gets replaced by the Bats/Supes power hour but only the new episodes air. Then Bats gets replaced by Batman Beyond. Superman gets replaced by the Justice League then Justice League Unlimited. CN is forced by gunpoint to make new episodes of Megas XLR. 11:00 will always air a Gundam show. 12:30 will include all Tenchi until it runs out.

    Sunday [Classic Block/SportsAction Block]

    • 12:00pm: Ronin Warriors/Knights of the Zodiac
    • 12:30pm: Dragonball/Samurai Jack
    • 1:00pm: GI Joe/TMNT 
    • 1:30pm: Transformers/Voltron

    A mixture of anime and cartoons. This is basically a nostalgia thing. I also included the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show.

    • 5:00pm: Slam Dunk
    • 5:30pm: Eyeshield 21
    • 6:00pm: Prince of Tennis
    • 6:30pm: History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi  

    Sports Action block. A classic with Slam Dunk and three more recent shows. I put it earlier so younger kids can get a chance to watch it.

    Sunday Adult Swim Block 

    • 11:00pm: Venture Bros
    • 11:30pm: Shin-chan
    • 12:00am: Space Ghost
    • 12:30am: Sealab 2012
    • 1:00am: FLCL/Death Note
    • 1:00am: Big O/Lupin the 3rd

    A small Sunday block. Nothing to really add.

    I know I missed a lot of shows but this is just a basic template. Honestly, there are so m,any shows I am trying to hold back and edit a lot of what I just wrote. However, shows that are shown could always air later. I am ignoring financial implications such as the cost of acquiring the rights to air these shows. I also think that Cartoon Network should sprinkle shows like: Courage, Looney Tunes, Powerpuff Girls, Tiny Toons, Earthworm Jim, Dexter’s Lab, Johnny Bravo and the likes throughout the day along side some of the newer stuff they got.

    Any suggestion is welcomed but it will be ultimately discarded because that is how it is. I think I got a great schedule going and nobody can tell me otherwise.
