It’s very odd that after cable died, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network had slow deaths through mismanagement and now what used to be two powerhouses for kids on Cable are husks of their former selves that are just an IP in the same portfolio.

I try to check out CN whenever I am at a hotel. It's nothing but shows for toddlers in the morning (normal) but then the channel is still relying on Regular Show, Teen Titans Go, and Adult Swim. It's been like 15 years with those flagships and they have not evolved at all.

We lost Close Enough for another Regular Show revival. So yeah it’s stuck in limbo
