Cuz Kids Love Long, Silent Stretches of Inaction.

Cartoon Network's new plan for live action programming includes broadcasting PGA Championship Golf. [link]

Is this the most idiotic thing ever? [Y/Y/Bring me the head of Ted Turner]

Man. I dunno about you guys, but when I was 8 years old, the last thing I wanted to watch on TV was professional sports, and the very bottom rung of that list of displeasure was a sport that involved being very still and quiet for long periods of time.

The top rung of sports was, of course, American Gladiators, but even that wasn't as good as a round of Reboot, the Super Mario Super Show, or Darkwing Duck.

I'm pretty sure CN must be almost entirely broke, because a decision like this is kind of like the Food Network deciding to play episodes of Lost. It doesn't make any fucking sense to the network's original intentions but it's guaranteed to pull SOME ratings.

Way to go guys. This is why people are shunning you in favor of fucking YOUTUBE.

What ever happened to Ren and Stimpy, Dexter's Lab, and Samurai Jack? Man... 15 years ago I'd rush home from school to see the Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. Half of the cartoons they feed kids now are poorly-animated, unoriginal crap...

I know cartoon network is now putting live action stuff, but seriously why?

there are three networks that show cartoons: Disney, Nick and Cartoon Network and now Cartoon network is the last of the mighty three to fall to live action stupidity.

my pooor friend is worried when she gets out of school theres going to be no jobs for an animator.

Cable is dead and has been for about 3-4 years.

HULU.COM & YOUTUBE.COM is taking over along with NetFlix, the PS3 network...I could write a thesis...

I lost hope for CN back when the first live-action shows started worming their way in, and even more so when Toonami finally breathed its last. I can't help but remember how during the summer I would waste my time in front of the TV until the live-action sports stuff came on Nick, because that stuff was never interesting to me (although I did like the game shows a bit). Slime Time Live was bearable because it wasn't as much a show as a program block, and even then it was just the filler between cartoons.

But man, golf? Wow. I don't know how they're going to keep that interesting, unless they add in EXTREME SOUND EFFECTS and weirdass minigolf stuff. And that isn't the point either.
