Saddle Up, Spanky!

The other day I was sitting around eating my cereal and I thought, "This isn't as good as Space Ghost: Coast to Coast! It's not fortified with the vitamins and minerals that the average episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast has. Why am I eating this stuff???"

Watch Space Ghost: Coast to Coast on the one-and-only Cartoon Network! It's better than cereal!

PS: All the above is a lie. It's a transcription of a commercial that is on the DVD of "Cartoon Planet" that lythandra is making from our old taped episodes of that brilliant but lost show. Nowadays, Cartoon Network is but a shadow of the greatness it once had. I hang my head in sorrow.

Yes, but now it has Justice League Unlimited.

That doesn't seem to ever play ... all I ever see is "Totally Spies" and "Ed, Edd, and Eddy."

Ever.

Except for occasionally "Whassname's House for Imaginary Friends."

At least I never see "Kids Next Door" any more.

I'm with you there, Gneech. That's about all I ever see, as well. Let's face it; they're not exactly targeting that network at people our age. Even Adult Swim is targeted at people 5-10 years younger than us.

Teen Titans (which I'm finding just as tasty) plays new episodes at 8pm ET/PT on Saturdays. JLU is on at 8:30pm on Saturday.

Other shows that make CN indispensible:

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Super Milk-chan
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Show

And don't forget that Space Ghost Coast To Coast has two volumes of DVDs out there. I do agree, however, that Cartoon Planet needs some sort of release, like as an extra on a SGC2C disk, since there some bits that were just brilliantly demented.
