This rant is for all the souls out there who mourn the loss of the Real Cartoon Network. When they stopped showing the likes of 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', I was forced to grow up.
They stopped airing ‘Dexter’s Laboratory’, I started to like vegetables as a result. They cut back on ‘Cow and Chicken’ and ‘I am Weasel’, and I started to dress responsibly. Ed, Edd and Eddie became ancient history, and… well, I just became ancient. What is child entertainment without the Powerpuff Girls and their never-ending war against Mmmojo-Jojo? How will children learn, without I R Baboon’s ridiculous logic, and Johnny Bravo’s impeccable stupidity? And what have they done to Garfield, stripping him of any wit that Jim Davis ever gifted him with???
But the ultimate act that murdered my youth was the total discontinuation and abominable abandonment of ‘Sheep in The Big City’. And after only one season. *Hangs head in anguish* Anyone who ever endured more than two episodes of this legendary toon knows only too well what I mean. The puns, the satire, the oxymorons, and the morons themselves… we are lost without them.
Curse you Cartoon Network! You’ve mothballed our childhood, and replaced it with the likes of Ben 10 and Gumball. You only allow us the priviledge of nostalgia when you see fit to point at us and laugh in condescending glee.
In honour of all twenty-something’s, who miss how things used to be, please enjoy what was once the finest of child entertainment. He was allocated a minute at the end of every ‘Sheep in the Big City’ episode, to express his opinion on cuticles, coffee tables, juggling and other mundane objects. Yes, fellow ancients; It’s every Rant ever given by the The Ranting Swede… in one... glorious... video...
And another thing: If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they leave him there?!?!??
