This was Cartoon Network.

This is a fraction of a conversation I had over IM tonight.

(23:08:20) DavenportIAS: Once upon a time, I could call Cartoon Network the Bravo or the A&E or IFC of Cartoon Networks, but it's decided to become KidsWB cable.
(23:11:37) DavenportIAS: once upon a time, CN treated cartoons more like Turner Classic Movies treated movies. They did stuff such as try to classify the 100 greatest cartoon shorts ever made; they taught people about old time directors like Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, and Tex Avery; they even had stuff on their website about how the animation process worked.
(23:12:10) Karelma: yea
(23:12:35) DavenportIAS: I miss that Cartoon Network.

What led me to mourning the changes at CN? This opinion piece by Jeff Harris -- This was Cartoon Network...
