SlamBall

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 28, 2009, 8:19 PM


OK so just when you think Cartoon Network cant get any lamer
They Do...
So now they add this show slam ball
Now for those of you who dont know
Its basketball with trampolines everywhere so they can do more slam dunks
i.e. slamball
So im pretty sure none of you remember this but
Its not even a new show
They did this show YEARS ago
It used to be on either MTV or Spike
So lets add this all up
You have SlamBall
The show where they blow stuff up
The show where they look for ghosts
and the show where they are trying to survive in the wilderness
...
Now tell me this
Does any of these shows sound interesting
But wait before you answer
Concider this
Except for slamball all these shows are with kids in it
Now tell me
Would you watch it
If you said yes then good news you can watch it on CN
If you said no I suggest getting a love for books, movies, or change the channel
Because this is it folks
LOL
In other news
Has anyone seen the Transformers 2 movie
Is it any good

CN is being retarded...

Well, I don't watch any of their live action crap... so hopefully there are other sensible people who don't and it'll get taken off soon enough.

And I saw Transformers, it was pretty good, I guess.

Yeah, Cartoon Network is doing now what MTV started to do over ten years ago - that is getting away from what their name says they're supposed to be showing. I think MTV shows about six or seven music videos a day now. Pretty soon CN will only be showing about the same in cartoons per day.

As for the Transformers movie, there's no way in hell I'm gonna see that piece of pre-fab trash. Why? Two words: Michael Bay. He's one of the worst working directors in Hellywood. Bay can just suck it!
:iconjeagerjack:
I thought the exact same thing when I saw that being advertised. Is it just cheaper for CN to run reality stuff? Is it about the money? If so then you sold out CN, I remember back when it was about the cartoons man (imagine me saying that with an over the top hippy accent). But if it's about the money then just run a bunch of older shows, those might not get a lot of ratings but they'd still be cheaper.

Anywho, at this point I think the smart thing to do is just to start taking bets on how long it will be before these shows get canceled. I've got my money down on two months.

was it good cause it looked good
Or was it good cause the plot was actually good
because the first one wasnt that good to me it just looked amazing

The world's already such a cookie cutter clusterfuck of clones that the last thing we need is yet another copycat. Integrity is so rare in our universe these days. *Sigh*
:iconbblack2430:
once again youve peaked my interest

For the CN youre right
I didnt think about it but they really are taking the MTV route
So many other channels have done it too
MTV2, BET, Disney and they have been trying for Nickelodeon but its only half as bad as MTV

And ok I want to hear why you dont like Micheal Bay
Me personally I can take him or leave him
I mean all he really does is blow stuff up

:iconbblack2430:
I would say that but CN loves doing this kind of stuff were youll say that they will stop showing it but they continue to do it

Like in the past were the showed all Bugs Bunny cartoons for a whole week
Or every year when they show Iron Giant for a whole weekend
you know stupid stuff like that

Times never wasted when your wasted all the time...

Why don't they just change the name of the channel to Children's Network. I understand they want to deversify their audience, but they were made to be a cartoon network and their is plenty of modern, classic and foriegn animation out that they could air to build an audience.

The real problem that is destroying the ratings of all network and cable channels is that they got cheap and either started to produce only "Reality TV" shows or they started to only show series that are owned by the studios that own the channel and show marathon after marathon of the same series, they buried Transformers:Animated and show about 406 episodes of Ben 10 ALien Force each saturday, I'm not hating on Ben 10, but come one give some other shows a chance.
:iconmaster-gav:
its been awhile since i last watch cartoon network, but i think their lost it years ago when their ruined dexter's lab and ed,edd n eddy. also when their started adding live action stuff. im pretty sure the idea of Cartoon network, was to only show cartoon. if i wanted to see drama stuff, i would go to Disney or Nick. but those two are died as well.
i feel sorry for the kids of today, their have nothing good while we had all the great shows. before becoming rubbish, over-run or replace with some other lame show.

MAKE MISSLE GO BOOM!!!! SEXY >=3
All the people in the house say "WTF!?!"
:iconjackthedemon:
If you come to think of it, CN is actually ripping off other shows and networks to try and generate kids to watch it.

*Destroy Build Destroy=Destroyed in Seconds or something reminiscent of Myth Busters (Both Discovery Channel)
*The Othersiders=Ghost Hunters and every other ghost finder school (all on Sci Fi Channel)
*Survive This=Man vs. Wild (again Discovery Channel)

I only ever say the Destroy show and it was for about 5 minutes before I said "I don't get it" and changed the channel to something less boring. CN is trying to mimic Nickelodeon and Disney Channel in the sense of everyone is doing live action shows. But, this very premise contradicts the fact the TV station is called CARTOON Network. Not Cartoon mixed in with some live action Network or A Kids Station Network. Even then, CN has been around longer than both its competetors if memory serves me right.

Oh, as for Transformers...it was alright...mediocre at best. To be honest, Optimus Prime has less air time than Bumblebee, and even then the loveable yellow car has maybe 30 minutes at most of scenes, 15 of which he's in car mode. Most of the story concerns LeBouf and Fox's characters and how much the love each other as well as these two wise cracking twin Transformers (who people say and I can't help but to agree) are a modern day version of Jar Jar Binks with all the controversy to go with it.

I'd give it a 3 out of 5 at most, but some of the actions scenes are pretty sweet...maybe wait till someone uploasds it to the internet or something cause after seeing it on Wednesday, I say its a waste of time.
