Leaf here, I can tell you why from my side.

Because netflix.

Seriously who has the time to watch a certain cartoon at a certain time on a specific day.

And no were not talking about kids because kids don't watch cartoons.

>I'm part of /co/ culture now XD

That's some zesty autism

>>94184896
Kids DO watch cartoons I know someone who has kids that watch TV. I'm sure many other kids watch TV too

>>94184945
And I'm sure you're an idiot.

>>94184961
Faggot, I have met these people. There's a LOT of KIDS who watch Teen Titans Go!, Loud House, SpongeBob and PAW Patrol and probably others too

I don't get why networks today show far less programming variety.

>CN then: multiple Cartoon Cartoons, Toonami/anime, classic cartoons, misc. shit all day
>CN now: TTG 80%, gumball 20%

>Nick Then: Multiple Nicktoons, live action, game shows, acquired shit like looney tunes, animaniacs, tiny toons, etc.
>Nick now: Spongebob 80%, Loud House 20%

>Disney then: Classic animation, lots of originalc artoons, live action shows, jim henson stuff, lots of rather obscure acquired third party programming
>Disney now: Fuck if I know, all their tweeny sitcoms seem the same


CN/Nick/Disney all have extensive catalogs, they could show a different show in each slot all week. But instead they choose to spam the same 2-3 shows all day, CN and Nick especially.

>>94185002
You're the faggot here, because you don't realize that they're a minority, and more importantly that the situation is only temporary while their parents still have money for cable. With the economy continuing to go the way it has been for a decade, fewer and fewer families will be able to afford it.

>>94185044
Nick is doing a better job than Cartoon Network. Also, Disney Channel is a bad option compared to Disney XD.

>>94185044
Because people hate Cloudy, Clarence, PPG, SU, and WBB.

>>94184896
Kids watch cartoons you stupid fucking idiot, why do you think TV is called a babysitter sometimes?

>>94185153
Because popcultural osmosis is still stuck in the 90s? Or because adult understanding of kids is always 20 years behind?

>>94184362
I don't get this too, could somebody explain them to me why this is a good idea? For example, Steven Universe, why do they run through five episodes in a week when they can keep everyone watching for a whole month?

>>94185197
Wait, hold the phone: since when can you do a spoiler within a spoiler!?

>>94185231
I have no idea.

God I just realized I've kept TTG on in the background for the past year. I'm sorry /co/ but it's nice background noise.

>>94185197
Because Steven Universe is the kind of show where they're heavily targeting the online market, which is also why it rarely plays on the network proper. A long hiatus generally spawns bigger hype and more word of mouth promotion than if they just played an episode every week.

>>94184866
The fuck's wrong with you? That looks ten times better than how it is today.

>>94186647
Did you think the :^) was unironic?

Also dat Toonami block. Truly the golden age.

>>94184362
Why has CN been playing Ben 10 race against time so much recently?

>>94184866
who the hell archived that page at 5:30-5:59 in the morning?

>>94186883
Because an automatic algorithm has been in charge of the CN schedule and the system has been fried for the past 2 years.

They're really depriving kids of learning cartoon history. When I was a kid Cartoon Network (and I mean Cartoon Network proper, not Boomerang) put cartoons from my parents' childhoods right beside the brand new original stuff. Stuff like classic Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, even black and white Popeye and Betty Boop cartoons would be as much of the schedule as the new episodes of Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls that were coming out. As a kid I wasn't even aware of the fact that these shows were decades old.

But now unless the show is one of the network's golden cows they don't get any play. Stuff like Clarence and We Bare Bears aren't even five years old and still have new episodes coming but out barely ever get played unless it's a special occasion.

People my age had a solid foundation of over half a century of cartoons but kids these days aren't gonna know anything about shows more than 3 years old. I know all of the cartoons in history are available online, but I really doubt any 8 year old is going to go out of their way to look up old episodes of Quickdraw McGraw.

>>94185002
I want you to ask these same kids when those shows air.

>>94184362

>>94189777
Why would they bother memorizing when they air when 1)They probably have a DVR that'll automatically record all the episodes and 2)These shows are aired so much that the kids can probably count on one of these shows being on whenever they turn on the TV.
