Because the network heads are all a bunch of slackers that want to get the mainstream audience that watches everything else. They don't, by changing formats, they effectively lose 2 audiences the mainstream and the regulars. Then they wonder why their ratings are down. TV Land doesn't show TV reruns, AMC is doing original programming... it's all a wash of who wants to make the next Sopranos, while others are slowly turning into TBS type generic crap channels.

My thoughts exactly. The reason I favored CN, Disney, and Nick over everything else for so many years was because they were actually different.

To think in the past I didn't think networks like those could change so easily. Now I already been proven wrong on how TV channels can change entirely without blinking for a second.

I don't have anything against the newer cartoons on Cartoon Network, it's just there is such thing as getting too carried away by changing the entire theme of the channel. Like how back in 1997 when Cartoon Network would have TV promos saying their network will always show a cartoon 24/7, a decade later they were showing non-cartoon related stuff.

But I'm glad that a lot of long canceled or off air cartoons are making their way to DVD.

I got into the habbit back in 1992 or 93' when I was little. I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
