I remember that stretch from 2008 when I had questioned why I was even watching the network anymore. At that point, Codename: KND and Foster's were either done or on their way out, Chowder and Flapjack felt like the only Cartoon Cartoons, and like you said....they started to implement live-action shows into their programming. And while the Canadian cartoons were good, it just didn't feel like the Cartoon Network I once knew. shyt was on a downward slope.TBH Cartoon Network started to fall off around 2005/06ish. The writing was on the wall when they bushed Toonami for Miguzi (to get little kids/girls watching the network) and when they started to slowly implement live action shows in to the programming. They also started to scale back or outright cancel the original Cartoon Cartoons block (PPG, Dexters Lab, Eds, Johnny Bravo, I Am Weasel, Cow and Chicken, etc.) But 98-2004, Cartoon Network was on GOAT status.

I'm well out of the age demographic now and I have no idea what's on that channel anymore save for Teen Titans Go.
Wholeheartedly agree. Their management during the past decade was horrendous. Had a few gems like Regular Show, Gumball, AT but.....They should've never bushed Billy and Mandy, Chowder and Teen Titans. These shows had potential to be SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents status.
It was a terrible decision to drop All of those shows for new ones, wouldn't it be smart to keep some old mixed in with the new blood?
When a NBA rebuilds they bring in vets to develop the rookies, instead CN had a plethora of new faces that shortly disappeared because they put all their belief in a new, unproven show with a unforeseeable shelf life.
Cartoon network was piff during the day and with Adult Swim at night too.This is kind of a Spin Off thread
But i just realized, looking back at their lineup Nickelodeon and Disney really wasnt shyt besides their top shows like Spongebob and Hannah Montana.
CN was diverse AF you had Boomerang showing old time classics,
Flintstones
Jetsons
Tom and Jerry
PLUS MORE
