Re-Runs of old Cartoons for local stations?
- Thread starter cool_guy82
- Start date
To quote TV Tropes, "Fox doesn't bother, ceding their time to a two-hour block of Infomercials that kids (and any adult 77 or younger) avoid like crazy."
The only good daytime cartoons left on broadcast TV are on PBS Kids, which is only watched by kids 11 or younger and their parents.
Channels should sign off in the late nights so they don't waste money on pointless commercials.

I'd watch it.
They just redubbed the series, based on the original Japanese.
Bringing Pokemon back to syndication would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, because that series has 800+ episodes.
Someone started a petition in 2011, but hardly anyone has signed it.
This is proof that the FCC is run by ageist killjoys who would rather torture us with horrendous infomercials, torturous talk shows, and stupid news shows.

Saturday mornings would be wasted without the cheap E/I shows. 3 hrs of infomercials would air if E/I wasn't a requirement. Or, on Fox stations, 3 hrs of NEWS - like we need to know about a robbery 5 times in a row. 25 years ago this would be completely different. NBC, ABC and CBS still had cartoons and Fox was still a "toddler" - adding Fox Kids I think around 1990 - that's around when Fun House started. But in 1989, kids would wake up early on Saturday mornings, still in their P.J.'s and eating Lucky Charms, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Looney Tunes. Not now. They are all on Nick watching the 2,234th rerun of SpongeBob, or Disney watching another non-funny rerun of Jessie, or Cartoon Network watching Adventure Time. Cable has taken it over.
