Here's a list of his stuff:

C.H. Greenblatt - Filmography by TV series

Also, I've never heard of Chowder...

^ Chowder is like everything good about the classic Spongebob episodes. Ridiculous fun that's not too stupid that it hurts your brain.

all it needs is some hillenburg, i've been saying that for a while

Also that ghost show on CN Real is really really stupid.

It's basically what people expect non-Japanese animation to be...a sitcom with a small ongoing plot that's not too hard for the kids hopped up on ritalin to follow.

Plus it looks like the same kind of animation as pretty much 70% of the stuff since Flash came around.

I didn't realize he was responsible for that. That's always been my favorite episode.

I liked the ridiculous nature of Chowder, the surreal and sometimes subtle humor, although when I want truly bizarre humor in a current cartoon, I look at Flapjack. In my opinion, Flapjack's always been just a tad funnier than Chowder, so I am consoled by its continued run.

LONG LIVE CAP'N K'NUCKLES

CAPTAIN K'NUCKLES IS CAPTAIN O' YOU!

It sucks that Chowder's getting cancelled. It was the only reason I watched CN anymore, except for Adult Swim.

For those of you who don't like CNReal, you're in for a treat with this bit of older news:

Cartoon Network cements Turner's golf deal | Entertainment | Television | Reuters

Quote:

NEW YORK (Mediaweek) - Never underestimate the power of kids.

Glossed over in media coverage of Turner Sports' recent extension of its TV rights agreement with the PGA of America was the prominent role that the Cartoon Network played in getting the golf organization to re-up.

With Turner just having lost its TV rights to the first two rounds of the British Open Championship beginning next year to ESPN -- this is the last year TNT will have the golf major, which began Thursday -- there were rumblings that TNT was in jeopardy of not having its deal with PGA of America renewed, which would have taken Turner out of the televised golf business after 2011.

But Turner pitched an extension by suggesting that Cartoon Network and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing arm of the network, could work with the PGA to target kids and get them interested in golf at an early age. Now Turner will keep rights to the PGA Championship and the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which features the winners of the four majors, through 2019.

"Our pitch excited PGA officials, and it helped us extend our TV rights deal with them," said David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports at Turner Broadcasting System.

Under the terms of the deal, Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE), which was formed in 2005, will act as the PGA of America licensing agent to create kid-targeted consumer product lines, including apparel, that will be co-branded. CNE also will create events in various cities targeting kids and work with retail stores to promote the product lines.

Cartoon Network will offer on-air contests and sweepstakes tied into the PGA and run public-service announcements about golf. And Levy said the development of special golf programing could also be part of the deal.

Cartoon also will create online social media platforms aimed at educating kids and attempting to get them interested in playing and watching golf.

"While Turner will continue to showcase PGA's tradition of dramatic championships, we're especially excited about new initiatives in the (Cartoon Network) licensing division and the creation of social media platforms that will help us make the game relevant and interesting to the new generation of golfers," PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka said.

Levy believes that the earlier NBA/Cartoon Network deal and this one with the PGA is something that the other professional sports leagues should look at as a way of bringing young viewers into the tent.

...Interesting...

**Valigarmander** · 08-15-2009, 07:47 PM

Oh, I forgot.

And Cartoon Network also recently fired Craig McCracken... the guy who created The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Panfan · 08-15-2009, 07:51 PM

so cartoon network wants to suck even more, got it

1-up Salesman · 08-15-2009, 09:14 PM

That's all they ever do. They've removed every single frickin' thing from their network that was good. They used to show classic stuff, along with Dexter's Laboratory, along with stuff like Samurai Jack and Craig McCracken's stuff. And now they've removed Chowder.

Robotazy · 08-15-2009, 09:29 PM

This is why I watch USA Network now.

Panfan · 08-15-2009, 09:59 PM

I just got Boomerang today which has Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack. It's awesome.

Cartoon Network was guaranteed to be awful after a few years. Adult Swim really surprised me, but it seems like all of the supposed aces they think they have up their sleeves aren't even playing cards so much as a way to get shot in the face by all of the angry, hairy men you've been sucking the cash out of.

Does that even make sense? I need a coffee.
