Yeah Fox has to find some way to recoup all the millions of dollars they're paying to Seth MacFarlane so he can remake the same animated program over and over again.

(I'm just kidding, I actually like Family Guy and American Dad.)

Anyways back on topic, I am actually kind of surprised Fox waited so long to make this decision seeing as how thanks to cable networks dedicated to nothing but cartoons and family shows 24/7 and not to mention DVD box sets, the Network based Saturday morning cartoon block has become a another piece of far away sugar coated nostalgia.

Oh well at least we have our memories (and DVD sets) to fall back on.
Everyday can be Saturday!

Cartoons are declining, and this only reinforces that thought. I can't watch CN anymore now that Foster's isn't around that much; I watch Ben 10 Alien Force online and that's about it.

I gave up hope on Nickelodeon when Fairly Odd Parents went bad, but then they brought it back. Poof makes me want to hurl. His debut was a decent episode, but the rest is all crap.

Disney's only good cartoon was Kim Possible, and that's over.

My brother plays NickToons 24/7, and I'm starting to appreciate Danny Phantom a little more.

I'm just sad for us all.

I also remember when Fox and WB used to syndicate cartoons on weekday afternoons. Now they want to take away Saturday mornings too. That sucks!

The only cartoons I watch are Foster's, Chowder, and FOP. The rest is junk.

Another black eye for the media as a major network gets out of the toon biz.
