I said they were on in other place. The formerly big 3 (aka the broadcast networks)don’t matter anymore. They can never show another cartoon again and there will be plenty of Saturday morning cartoons, they could go dark tomorrow and there would be plenty of Saturday morning cartoons.
Let’s look at the CN Saturday morning schedule:

Pokemon, Clarence, Amazing World of Gumball, Teen Titans, Scooby Do. Perfectly valid kids stuff. You really need to get over your hipster obsession, every time you mention them in a post, you say something dumb, and factually challenged.
The nannystate has been pushing for the death of children’s cartoons since the 1960s. They are still pushing today.
Just as they are pushing to get sugar out of kids food, get meat out of kids food, get dairy out of kids food.
It’s like the whimpy “smart” cars. Death by a thousand cuts. First get you used to the idea of only using a small car to make little journeys, not travel about independently across the country. Then eventually you decide you don’t need a car after all (at least to own).
The kids don’t like the kale lunches either but they don’t get a say in the matter, their non-parental adult figures do.
Putting it on cable doesn’t change their battle, it just is another sign of victory in their culture war.
