A TV channel which hosts cartoons 24/7. During the last few years, it's gained some controversy for taking away some popular shows (such as Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack) and replacing them with what many people believe to be "unimaginitive pieces of crap". However, they still host some really good shows such as "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", "Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy" and "Teen Titans".

Also, while children and young teens can enjoy cartoons playing through the day aimed at them, a feature called "Adult Swim" plays through the night, with many mature shows for, yep, adults.

I think Cartoon Network will continue to thrive, but can it improve, find its way back to people and erase some controversy?
Guy 1: Cartoon Network's quality's starting to drop, don't you think?
Guy 2: At least we've got Foster's Home

Get the cartoon network mug.
A cartoon channel that only shows half of an anime series, repeats it 50 times, and replaces it with fucking reruns of "A Pup Named Scooby Doo".
Fuck Cartoon Network. I'm gonna go bootleg all my favorite anime shows instead.

A channel that used to be good back in the 90s but then added their original series which the majority of them suck ass except Samurai Jack, Cartoon Planet and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Then in 2001 they added Adult Swim which is a block of comedy and anime. Cartoon Network plays their original series, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo to death. The only good thing about CN now is Adult Swim.
Cartoon Network, where have you been? You're killing us with this kiddie junk!

An increasingly terrible network which introduced good shows, such as Dexter's Lab, and Samuri Jack, then overdid them. Now, Dexter's Lab is no longer funny. None of the newer versions of any of the cartoons are funny. The reruns still provoke laughter, but the new ones are just sad.
Despite it's lack of humor, Cartoon Network is better than Nickelodeon.

The sole reason that millions of people believe anime is gay due to the fact that they actually do make it seem gay.
Another sole reason that has resulted in millions of people bootlegging and dowloading anime episodes and movies.
WOW it's Cartoon Network, I thought it was bought out 2 decades ago!!

A channel on TV devoted to showing animated shows. During the day these shows are aimed at children. Later on you get a slightly older crowd and a lot of anime. Starting at 11 each night (except Fridays) you have adult swim, which is a block of programming devoted to animated shows targeted at the 14+ category.
Cartoon Network is a pretty good channel. It is better than Nickelodean (though I still think Nick's good) and adult swim is the best.
