It saddens me that only this channel is saving cartoons.

Adult Swim is the best place for animation right now. Obviously the best thing they've done is bring back Samurai Jack, but they also have Venture Bros, Rick and Morty, and Mike Tyson Mysteries, which are all excellent and funny. They also have interesting experimental hybrid animated series like Off The Air and DreamCorp. They also have Squidbillies which has a solid cult following and can be funny. They even have a mainstream hit in the form of Robot Chicken which is as hit-or-miss as any other sketch show. The only blight on their part is Mr.Pickles, but it still isn't as awful as people say.

>>89865313
if i remember correctly, this channel started sucking dick when they starting airing more live action show

>>89866605
that's regular disney channel
this channel always (in it's XD incarnation) had live action, though it's a lot more balanced than the main channel

Really?! All they've been doing is cancelling shows left and right. Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, and Adventure Time are leaving, and Clarence's future isn't looking too good, unfortunately.

By next year, all we'll have is this:
>The Amazing World of Gumball
>Teen Titans Go!
>Steven Universe
>possibly Clarence
>Teen Titans Go!
>We Bare Bears
>nuPPG
>Mighty Magiswords
>Ben 10
>Teen Titans Go!
>Teen Titans Go!
>Summer Camp Island
And you can bet your bottom dollar that they're still gonna be teasing us about OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes becoming a full series; we'll probably still be getting 2-minute shorts by then.

Adult Swim has not been the main venue of decent animation since at least 09'.

They jumped over to live action hard and then kept on shoveling Tim and Eric into everyone's faces for years. They barely have anything animated on it that is not some Fox leftover, and what they do have is some sad 8 minute gorefest Rob Zombie video inspired shit like Mr Pickles or Superjail. They are getting by with Robot Chicken, which has become really old and played out.

They are not producing anything on the level of their old stuff like Sealab, AquaTeen, Home Movies, Space Ghost...

>>89866920
That's what it stood for on the previous "Disney XD", this one doesn't stand for anything and was literally chosen for looks.

What new cartoons are they playing? All I know is that they put Star Vs in a 6am slot, hoping to kill it probably. Also, they killed Wander.

>>89869780

both adventure time and regular show were voluntarily ended by their creators. If your gonna talk then talk about the tragedy that was symbiotic titan

>>89870736
I'm not sure about Regular Show, but Adventure Time was actually cancelled. As soon as the Ooo Crew realized this, they spent their remaining episodes trying to rush to a satisfying series finale that should be airing early next year.

Considering how slow and gradual AT's pacing has always been, here's hoping that the sudden shift to reach the ultimate endgame helps to balance both sides and form an enjoyable final ~30 episodes with a healthy mix of heavy serialization and hopefully few filler/experimental episodes.

>>89871935
>they're heavily relying on [SvtFoE] now that gravity fall[s] is over
to the point where they prematurely renewed it for another season TWICE IN A ROW, yet Wander gets prematurely canned before Season 2 even had a chance to wow everyone and the Big Disney Bosses still have the nerve to push McCracken to pitch them another show

Current Shows:

Disney's one mistake was cancelling Wander Over Yonder long before Season 2 started airing, but their future looks really bright compared to CN and Nick.

>>89872735
I don't get Disney XD. But I also don't really care about anything on there right now. I guess I'll give some of the new stuff a try once it finally comes on but this might be the dimmest bright future I've ever seen when it comes to American animated tv series.

>>89870672
It's both Boomerang and Nicktoons. Disney XD at least gives their shows proper promotion, along with even cross-promotion to Disney Channel.

This channel is dead to me after they killed Tron: Uprising because the company got the Star Wars franchise and thus had no apparent need for Tron anymore.

>>89873568
Yep, I only learned that it exists recently from a decade-old article

http://www.awn.com/news/super-robot-monkey-team-episodes-debut-widescreen

>According to Nieli, "All episodes of Super Robot Monkey Team have been animated in widescreen but were shown cropped in their broadcast form because, we did not have internal approval to broadcast them in the widescreen. We now have that approval as of episode 212 Wormhole. It will make a big difference because our show is very much composed and directed for a widescreen image," said Nieli.

It's sad that we'll probably never see it.

The point is they allowed all those shows to have some sort of platform. It also emphasizes how CN is open to cartoons as a whole.

Them cancelling shows to put on new shows is proof that they're still pushing new innovative cartoons.

>>89870736
RS was canned, Mark Hamill even said so and CN made him delete it, whether or not it was because it was too early of an announcement or because they didn't like him announcing the actual cancellation part is unknown.

Season 7 was begging production when CN gave them a heads up, which let them do what they could to get the final on-earth season wrapped up.

Also they were giant fucking dicks and did almost a full half renewal of a season for the final one, which made their series end montage rushed as fuck.

Jesus Christ. I can only hope Adventure Time will make some kind of noise when it ends.

We're in a golden age of tv and yet cartoons seem to be stagnating. I mean I get that new shows are cropping up but have no longevity, variety, or a super distinct style amongst them.

Clarence and We Bare Bears will/are probably be canceled.

Loud house is the highest cartoon on Nick but not sure how sustainable that is especially with a lack of other cartoons.

Star Vs has insanely low ratings and will probably either be cancelled or rushed to an ending. All other cartoons are meh and have very little depth to them as they're aimed at a younger audience. Not really a problem per se but it's disheartening to see cartoons in the mindset of it just being for kids.

>>89885454
Also I should say that even with some of the shows I listed I don't think they're too particularly good either (Star Vs, We Bare Bears, etc).

Cartoon life is suffering.

>>89865877
CN and Nick use their satellite channels to punish good shows by making sure nobody can watch them.

Disney meanwhile just offloads all their shows onto XD because they want people to have to pay for the premium channel. This does result in the shows getting less views than they deserve but it's not as deliberately malicious as the other two.
