May someone explain the backlash and rage over CNReal? I'm interested to hear your take and possible rants that may result. lol

A network dedicated to cartoons started showing live action shows. Right at the starting gate, there's a problem here.
It would be one thing if the shows were good but they weren't. All of the shows ranged from mediocre to shit.

Basically trying to bring reality stuff over to a channel that has always aired cartoons. Basically every other channel that slowly starts to dissociate itself from what it's suppose to be in favor of reality television.

Cartoon Network was basically Turner Broadcasting's attempt to outclass Fox, WB, Nick and Disney with a massive library of classic and home-grown cartoons shown round the clock. That was the whole selling point, as this all-day niche channel. Getting away from that was essentially what opened the door for the last two I mentioned to catch up with them. |

My childhood was a BIG FAT LIE!!! Yeah, Nickelodeon always had live action shows. If anything, the early years pretty much was nothing but live action, with most of the cartoons being British imports (Dangermouse, Count Duckula, Bannanaman) . |

The difference with Nickelodeon is that it wasn't meant to be dedicated to cartoons 24/7, so they didn't back themselves into a corner. That and shows like All That, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa Explains It All, Figure It Our etc. were actually good shows, at the very least there were at that time.

All of the shows ranged from mediocre to s***. The one hosted by Survivorman star Les Stroud was actually decent. Just didn't belong on Cartoon Network. |

All of the shows ranged from mediocre to s***. Pretty much this. They could use those time slots to try and get better ratings for some of their shows that were lacking in the ratings (Sym-bionic Titan, Thundercats, etc.). But no. They went with the other route. And they've really started to PISS ME OFF. |

So what kind of live action shows do they have and how s***ty are they? they have Level-Up which, while incredibly cheesy, isn't that bad. It's about a group of friends opening a portal from their favorite video game and allowing characters from said game and the group having to defeat them. They treat the show pretty much as a spoof (Jagex and Rooster Teeth were hired as creative consultants) Otherwise, they had ripoffs of Discovery Channel Shows like Dude What Would Happen (Mythbusters), Destroy Build Destroy (Pick any show that involves building stuff), Survive This (Man vs Wild with kids basically),TheOutsiders(Ghost Hunters) and BrainRush (Game Show). The shows could've been interesting, but the hosts were extremely annoying... so were the kids come to think of it You also had Tower Prep which was weird.... kind of Magneto's Genosa meets The Island meets Harry Potter. It was created by one of the writers/producers for Batman TAS and Superman TAS. It started off okay, but ended kind of poorly. They also just debuted the Incredible Crew which is kind of a lame All That ripoff (First Episode even had New Boyz as music guests). But the show will probably be cancelled But yeah... Level Up isn't that bad when you consider that the creators treated it completely as a spoof. |

I've only seen commercials for Incredible Crew, but already that show makes me want to punch a kitten.

I think it's like when MTV began to phase out music videos in their programming.
Cable networks used to be about caputuring niche audiences that other networks weren't picking up. Now it's about capturing EVERYONE you can, probably because of legit streaming sites shifting the market.

Survive This (Man vs Wild with kids basically) No, as I mentioned in an earlier post it is Survivorman with kids and the Survivorman host. And it was pretty good, really. |

But the show will probably be cancelled To be fair that show is done by Nick Cannon. Can we call it a ripoff if a member of the original show is producingthe new one? |
