User blog:WikiStarter/Cartoon Network: From Fame to Bust, then Fame Again

Hi all you users. As you know Cartoon Network has quite a long history of shows and genras that have captured our attention and praised them. But then Cartoon Network got a little too over-confident. In recent years, it is most likely that 1/9 of the time your watching Cartoon Network. The ratings are going down, everything's going to the garbage can, and Cartoon Network is left a show of pitty remakes that introduce no new shows and makes us wanna watch all the episodes of Saved By the Bell. UNTIL TODAY, WHEN THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL PREMIERED ON MAY 2, 2011. The show, along with Regular Show and Adventure Time, have recently put Cartoon Networks sloppy ratings and piled them-up to make a 2 thumbs-up. But, that would take 10 years before Cartoon Network would learn it's lesson about airing junk. Recently shows like Almost Naked Animals and Problem Solvers are big fails, along with Sidekicks. These shows bring down Cartoon Network ratings back to 1 thumbs-up, leaving Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, Regular Show, and MAD to lead Cartoon Network back into success. Let begin their story of riches, to rags, to riches, to rags in my book blog, a blog specifiacally made as an Interet Book. Let's journey into Cartoon Network, and see what secrets we can unveal.

Cartoon Network: First Steps
Cartoon Network was created on October 1, 1992 as a tribute to the far more poplular Nickelodeon. It was originally used as a 24-hour kids program, it's unofficial cult motto being "By kids, for kids." Cartoon Network was a load of success, ranging from reruns of Tom and Jerry to Looney Toons. The channel became so popular that the original name, The Cartoon Network, Inc., was changed to Cartoon Network. The 90's Cartoon Network gave us enjoyment and laughs, and it was Cartoon Networks first successful step into the reality of cartoon programming and gave us incredible shows like Ed, Ed, ad Eddy, Dexter's Labrotory, and Courage the Cowardly Dog. Unfortunetly, first impressions also left first adult impressions. With Fox being to busy to show most animated adult shows, CN gave permissin to commence the nearly equally populer Adult Swim.

Problems in Adult Swim
Unfortunetly, Cartoon Networks decision to have Adult Swim butt in our regular late-night cartoon time didnt pay off. Shows like King of the Hill were good, but others were more farfetched and unpopular, causing ratings on both channels to go slightly lower. And thus, Cartoon Network took the next step: its own animated shows. However, to this day, Adult Swim and it's mostly-corrupted ideas are still aired at 9:00 PM.

Cartoon Network: From rings to rongs
We have now entered 2007, and Cartoon Network is doing unbelievably bad, coming to it's record low. Shows that used to capture the attentions of aueinces were cancelled, and even reruns of old cartoons were beginning to decrease. Shows that introduced cartoon shorts did poorly, and the first film, based on The Powerpuff Girls, did poorly at the box office and even mocked by MADtv on Fox. Cartoon Network was in it's darker years, where 1/5 of their former audeinces swithed to the much more successful Nickelodeon and Disney. Cartoon Netowork was a wreck.

Cartoon Network: The cartoons have landed
On 2010, Cartoon Network was in a relatively poor shape, with most of the block airing popular but old reruns of famous cartoons that only captured about 2/5ths of their audiences. But in 2010, shows were available that CN picked-up. Shows that would shape of future of Cartoon Network.

Adventure Time!
New shows in Cartoon Network were rare to come across, but whe the commercials for this sow came on, we were hyped. Cartoon Network released Adventure Time, and ultimetly won back their popularity. More and more popular and successful shows aired, and before you know it, the show that officialy put Cartoon Network on the map was here: The Amazing World of Gumball. This show gained several audiences that Cartoon Network despretaly needed to survive, but when TAWoG came into view, Cartoon Network ratings matched those of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. But with popularity, came trouble.

Almost-Naked Animals
Cartoon Network popularity didn't last long. In late 2010, shows like Prolem Solvers and Almost-Naked Animals came on. Normally, this may have been good shows. IF THEY HAD PUT ANY EFFORT INTO IT! After these shows aired, more garbage form the channel instantly got us back watching Spongebob and Phineas and Ferb. And Cartoon Network lost some of it's crucial ratings. We are now left in an era where Cartoon Network is continuing to produce garbage that will inevitable never make it big amoung audiences. What does this channel have behind it's cute cartoons? A dark and mostly-unpopular history. What the future will bring us, is up to the producers. I'm the Wikia Critic and I rate this channel 76% out of 100%. I remember it so you don't have to.
