I absolutely agree with you. I think it really comes to something when a channel is so lacking in fresh content that it resorts to broadcasting "shows" that are of a completely different format to that suggested by their own logos. It's like false advertising, and frankly, I think it's an insult to consumers who pay for these channels one way or another. Hell, at bare minimum I'd sooner settle for relevant and repeated shows than that which are simply broadcasted to replenish broadcasting funds; at least then I'd have convenience rather than sheer crap for choice. For all its excessive advertising between programmes, at least this is where even the basic CITV gets it right imo: while it does repeat shows like Horrid Henry, Almost Naked Animals, and My parents are Aliens as much as (if not more than) 4 times a day; that's far more acceptable and appropriate than broadcasting the likes of Reality TV shows, or the kind of crap they spew on MTV.
Still, in the end, I view most channels as unfortunate products of shrewd business practices rather than good consumer services, and therefore have long given up on demanding quality content; especially given that most of them are evidently dependant on their sponsors for funding--which are not unlike shareholders in effect. It's blatantly obvious to me that many channels (like the Film4 we have over here in the UK) are obliged to run infomercials at certain times of the day; or else they'd lack the funds to broadcast more relevant shows.
And that's just a reflection of the general state of the TV media industry imo--profit first; delivery second. It's ironic that we have more TV channels to choose from than ever before, yet (in percentage terms) less quality and unique shows. This is why I rarely watch TV (let alone cartoon channels) these days; I just think there are far too many programmes that are designed to simply make money; and even those that are initially good are later corrupted by business decisions that get in the way of their objectives. This sort of nonsense seems to be spilling into anime too, though there is plenty of room for serious damage yet...

Well, you have to be in the business to make money, otherwise you'll just end up as that maybe notable channel that's no longer around. Or like PBS and constantly asking for donations. Still, one would expect a little integrity with the channels and their programming as far as it being related to the purpose of the channel. No one tunes into the All-Cat Channel to watch Dogs 101. At the same token, somehow Dogs 101 is becoming a such success for the All-Cat Channel. Me personally, I could accept live-action shows in CN if they incorporated a fair amount of graphic animation into the show, like Level Up where there's a good amount of animation to work with the live-action. Still, these other live-action shows can go (straight to HELL! ), there's little to no animation in them and the plots/storylines are dumber than a bag of turds. It's almost as if CN took the shows that Disney and Nickelodeon refused to air. Also there's Flicks... Great Idea, but lose the retard hosting it and play more animated movies damnit! There's plenty of them out there. I don't care to watch Percy Jackson for the 23,203,894 time. I'm sure there's a lot of folks that'd love to watch Kaena, if they haven't already.
I can't stand really anything they currently have airing, and some in the past few years. Chowder, Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Annoying Orange, whatever. It has just gotten really bad over the years, IMO. Give me some Powerpuff Girls or Dexter's Laboratory, or even something like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends or Camp Lazlo any day, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy will always be a favorite. Or even Two Stupid Dogs or Whatever Happened to Robot Jones. But I wouldn't watch CN 99% of the time if you paid me now.
I agree with every bit of what you just said. Courage has always been one of my FAVORITE CN shows and one of my favorite cartoons in general! And Aqua Teen Hunger Force is just terrible. I've always hated it. Then again, I don't like really any of the Adult Swim originals. All I've ever watched on it is occasionally Robot Chicken, a few episodes of Metalocalypse, anime, Futurama, and American Dad.
YES! Ugh, I hate when I see a live-action show on it. -.- It's like, seriously people? At least do the MTV thing and erase the abbreviation to CN if you're going to start making it untrue. -.- Otherwise, stick to cartoons.

Slender body, and two eyes like ebony.
Her spirit's golden, and her mind's a mystery.
Well it's supposed to be he 24 hour cartoon network... and why doesn't Adult swim have it's own darn channel anyway?
Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

Because Adult Swim isn't like Boomerang with all sorts of popular shows to keep it running 24/7/365 without an issue.
Hey hey hey!! Watch those tongues, guys! Courage is the most loviest and brave cartoon EVER!!1oneone!
Anyway, I dislike.. Um, Chops choke or something, really hate animation. Uuuughh!! D;
Uncle Grandpa
Steven Universe
Teen Titans Go!
I think that about sums it up for the current bad shows.
I haven't actually had cable in years, but from what I can remember:
Total Drama Island
Flapjack
Adventure Time
I Am Weasel
I'm really glad they got rid of that CN Real thing they had for like two weeks.. Cartoon Network doesn't do live action very well. The Problem Solverz and Annoying Orange are the only ones I can't tolerate.
