Because the hilarious racism and mindless violence of Looney Tunes is no longer allowed.

Because of the rise of internet culture/memes. I love Adventure Time and Regular Show to death, but watch ANY episode and you can tell they do stuff in hope that the Tumblr crowd will make animated gifs out of it.

I think after Cartoon Network tried to go the live action safe route and failed horribly, they shifted gears to the other extreme. I actually love the direction CN is in right now because it reminds me of the shows I grew up with, Cow and Chicken, Ed, Edd, and Eddy - just totally random but funny shows. They'll get no complaints from me, CN is the best it's been in years because of shows like Regular Show and it's random formula.

I don't mind the ransom and gross toons, but we need more action oriented stuff like Samurai Jack

I don't mind the ransom and gross toons, but we need more action oriented stuff like Samurai Jack Well the Ben 10 series and recent Transformers cartoons aren't bad in that regard. Also heard good things about the recent G.I. Joe cartoon. But yeah, we do need some new action series. It is honestly one of the reasons I am so excited for The Legend of Korra, because it is an action series with a great pedigree.

Because they're thinking outside the box? Or they're wasted when they come up with this stuff, I dunno. JG Quintel WAS actually wasted when he came up with what would turn into Regular Show. WAS HE EVER.I don't mind the ransom and gross toons, but we need more action oriented stuff like Samurai Jack Well the Ben 10 series and recent Transformers cartoons aren't bad in that regard. Also heard good things about the recent G.I. Joe cartoon. But yeah, we do need some new action series. It is honestly one of the reasons I am so excited for The Legend of Korra, because it is an action series with a great pedigree. GI Joe: Renegades was honestly, as blasphemous as it would be for so many if I said it, better than the original Sunbow cartoon. I grew up with and loved the original 'toon, but good grief 'Renegades was AWESOME. A perfect alternate universe retelling and a fresh take on GI Joe, as well as incorporating a ton of minor characters from the original 80's cartoon in really cool ways to appeal to the long time fans (They made Airtight into a badass FFS!) It absolutely STOMPED all over Transformers Prime, which it debuted the same day as. I wanted to like Prime. But it was just meh. And Renegades was the show of everything that debuted that Friday (Avengers: EMH, Young Justice, Prime, Renegades) that nobody really had much faith in, I didn't even have high hopes, but I was beyond pleased with it. Happier that it even seemed to have a decent ending to the series until it's picked back up after the Retaliation movie (sans the "Renegades" tagline, as uh, they aren't anymore) I always suggest it to anyone who hasn't seen it, check it out sometime. It's like GI Joe meets Resident Evil meets Metal Gear meets The A-Team in the best possible way.
