What I really don't like is disney's live action stuff, especially that austin and alley show. Plus it seems like all the live action shows nowadays are about being famous.

My favorite shows right now are Doctor Who (though it's been iffy whether or not i LOVE the episodes... I think i mainly miss tennant :P but i like SOME of the stories Smith is put into more), Torchwood (Nevermind the 4th season I barely scraped by on (it was awful and nearly ruined the previous season for me)), and Sherlock (Moriarty is real Dr. Watson!!! >:'( ) As you can see i am a rather big fan of BBC's shows right now, esp. those by Davies and Moffat.
Yeah, that's how Disney is making the wrong turn. Just like what I said about the reasons why CN is accepting the live action shows, Disney is making the wrong turn by accepting live action shows. Before 2005, I never saw any live action show on Disney, but I did see some on Nick. Now Disney is totally changing. After the cancellation of Hannah Montana, Disney should clear up, but I think it's going to take a while.
I don't watch any T.V. besides Adventure Time. I think the episodes are getting better as it goes on, my favorite is the episode "Princess Cookie."
To be fair, I think there's nothing left to talk about here (if regarding channels). I see the many views of how bad CN, Nick, and Spongebob has done. I remember on TV.com that I saw this one guy who was critical of CN for airing bad shows and taking out the good shows. This was in 2008 as I know of. In 2009, when CN Real came, I couldn't participate in the discussions since I was done with TV.com and that I haven't found another forum about CN Real. I say for over all of what I read from here, 2005 to 2009 was the worst era for CN, and that's where they picked up the bad shows and ended the good shows.
I also feel that I'm the only one who's trying to keep the topic alive. If you read through all of the pages on this topic, you could see me post at least once to three times per page. Now there's nothing else to talk about here. So I'm going to shift the topic into talking about how bad South Park is doing in the last four years. I know a lot of people who hate the show for being offensive or having inappropriate content. There are also some people who used to like the show until last year or the year before. Both groups hate the show.
American television for kids is ruining kids everywhere else.

How does it ruin kids everywhere else?
Back to the Cartoon Network and their live action subject, we know that live action animated shows are bad for channels that are made for cartoons. But are the live action shows really bad? I know they're not good for CN, but it doesn't make them bad. It's like criticising an entire TV show for one character (i.e. TDI got hate from fans due to the character Courtney). If CN Real shows are the only good shows on CN, and if they're fine or great, then CN is already bad even before we taken the live action shows. That means, the cartoons' qualities are just as bad as accepting live action shows on a channel made for Cartoons.
More on the Nickelodeon subject:
I agree that Avatar (both The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra) are pretty great shows. The Penguins of Madagascar is okay in my opinion, so if we don't have Avatar, we still have this. All the other shows, not so great.
I have ambivalent feelings about Spongebob. While I agree wil all of you about the show getting worse and being overrated, I actually don't mind this show, and I started the category game with Spongebob. I'm okay if my friends watch it, but Spongebob is most of all, the trouble of Nickelodeon, especially with how it's doing. It hasn't even ended - yet, but it will, because every show has to come to a stop. All of the other cartoons on Nick (except the ones I named above) are very stupid, especially Fairly OddParents. Why? It's because the show is way too childish, and out of all TV shows that are going downhill, Fairly OddParents is the worst. Even before it encircled the drain, I find the show to be stupid. The characters always looked stupid or ugly (compared to Spongebob), the boy always relies on magic to get everything he wants, and voices are terrible. On the live action sector, iCarly looks like the best one to me, but like Spongebob, iCarly is dominating the channel too. I don't think live action shows are good for any of the three (Nick, Disney, and Cartoon Network), and Spongebob is taking up way too much viewing time as well. Imagine if Cartoon Network picked up Spongebob.
I would have said "How I Met Your Mother" is going downhill but that's where it started. Same with all other sitcoms at generally the same time slot, and do I dare be so audacious by not saying "just my opinion"? I think I shall be so!
