Well, to be fair to CN, they are adding a block of shows for
preschoolers ("Tickle U"). For this, they are to be commended. I should
have also noted their recent venture into stop-motion animation with the
Adult Swim show "Robot Chicken", often referred to as "Action League
Now" for grown-ups.
The problem for long-time viewers of Cartoon Network is that many of
their early shows seemed to have fallen of the edge of the Earth. Shows
such as "Cow and Chicken", "Cartoon Planet", and "The Moxie Show" are
not available anywhere. It is disturbing to see as recent a hit as "The
Powerpuff Girls" be added to the list of CN shows that are totally
unavailable.
