Cartoon Network New - Old

Cartoon Network was my childhood. I cant say how many days I woke up on a Sunday to catch the episode of Dexters Lab or Ed Edd n Eddy. Cartoon Cartoon was also taken off and when Toonami was taken off I almost shit my pants. If Fallout 3 Was a T.V channel it would be this. Now we have shit like Fish Hooks and Adventure Time which is bullshit!. People don't know what a cartoon is anymore...
