Because Viacom is petty and they realized nostalgia doesn't make money because children don't watch Cartoons they watch Ninja and Pewdiepie

Kill yourself out of touch subhuman

Because CN already gave thier most popular shows proper endings.

He's not wrong though you dumb fucking reddit-level retard. But the other question should be asked: why would CN need to make specials for shows that they've ended properly in the first place? The only shows that ended abruptly and without a conclusion were shows that either didn't do well, weren't CN originals to begin with, or were sold off for tax reasons. Cartoon Network as a whole has ended their shows properly almost every time they've had a run, there's no need for specials to wrap everything up.

Seething sub human

Because CN reboots them.

Because CN isn't shaved for content

>Dexter's Lab
>Johnny Bravo
>Cow and Chicken
>Courage
>Billy and Mandy (KND crossover was the last episode along with Underfist which had shit to do with the main characters)
These didn't have endings, make them or fuck off back to Discord

The thing is that most Nick shows didn't have proper finale/felt having an abrupt ending, while most CN shows have a decent and acceptable finale that it would be insulting to try to bring it back. It would feel like selling out.

>be so creatively bankrupt that you have to dredge up 2 decade old properties you unceremoniously cancelled for content
>this is a good thing

Get new material, zoomzoom. You're repeating yourself.

>Subhuman is bad, get something new
>Uses zoom
Retard

>Dexter's Lab
Ego Trip was the intended finale before CN revived it, and the revival was extremely inferior compared to the first 2 seasons
>Johnny Bravo & Cow and Chicken
Doe they really need an ending? Could you actually make a special for these shows? Probably for Johnny (I give you that), but Cow & Chicken doesn't work for as a long special.
>Courage
Remembrance of Courage's Past and Perfect were perfect ways to end the show. A return would be great, but isn't necessary
>Billy and Mandy
UnderFist was a great special, but not finale worthy, I give you that too. But really again, does it need a extravagant finale?

Didn't Johnny Bravo get a Bollywood special a few years ago?

Yikes

Yes, it did - Johnny Bravo goes to Bollywood - but that was just made for the Indian market and not a proper finale.

But the idea of the thread is nostalgia baiting specials, not endings. Did you read the OP wrong?

Ed Edd and Eddy ended and I don't want it dug up

Nostalgiacucks are pathetic

Courage is coming back folks

CN never once had even kind of the budget Nick had even.

You mean like Samurai Jack, or Powerpuff Girls, or Ben 10, or Harvey Birdman, or 12oz Mouse, or Space Ghost?

Self respect

>12oz Mouse, or Space Ghost
Say what?

Why do episodic shows even need “proper endings”?

Firstly because claims of "ripping off" would probably be rampant from the first announcement.

Secondly because CN has Boomerang, or Boomerang just exists in general. Boomerang probably provides them with data that they use to assume the whole idea would not be worthwhile.

Our timeline doesn’t deserve a Courage movie.
And if they did do it, they would probably fuck it up

this

The Harvey Birdman special wasn't that great.

>Space Ghost
Nigga wut

A Courage movie was considered back when the show was coming to an end, but that never happened due to the PPG movie being a flop.

Johnny Bravo was never good

Do you WANT them to?

Because those Nick specials were meant to lure in the adult fans who haven't watched Nick in years. CN already has Adult Swim so that effort's pointless.

because they are gay

I would love a cow and chicken special that allowed for more adult humour

A movie was actually in early production, but it got scrapped for unknown reasons

If they did, we would’ve gotten Underfist and Galactic KND series by now

The better question is why WB doesn't make specials for stuff like Batman TAS, Justice League Unlimited or the Steven Spielberg animated shows?

>Steven Spielberg animated shows
Animaniacs is getting a reboot, and even then that was their most popular show, nobody gives a fuck about shows like Histeria, Toonsylvania or Road Rovers

Fuck off Courage’s last episode was a great way to wrap everything up

>nobody gives a fuck about shows like Histeria, Toonsylvania or Road Rovers
Why would you bring up random ass shows like that when I was specially talking about some of the most popular shows WB has ever made? You can't compare Pinky and the Brain or Tiny Toon Adventures to fucking Road Rovers.

>You're not Perfect fetus
>Good finale
What a shill you are, it was clearly cut short so they just quickly threw something at the last minut

>Literally says Steven Spielberg animated shows
>Brings up said shows
>DOESN'T COUNT! TRY AGAIN!
Fucking retard

The only CN show reboot/special worthy is Dexter's Lab (and it was already sullied by the Savino era)

Only one of those shows was a Spielberg one (Toonsylvania)
>not being able to infer I was obviously only talking about highly regarded and popular Spielberg shows
Fucking autism.

>Moving the goalpost
Just admit you fucked up

I guess people have already forgotten the already existing CN reboots that were horrible atrocities.

>shill for a 20+ year old cartoon
>only remembers le spooky fetus

Keep using words that you don’t know the meaning of though I insist, Perfect left off with a heartwarming moral and Courage’s Past told a story that ended with how everything began, but I suppose you want some le epic anime battle where Courage kills the rest of the villains and Eustace sucks his pink balls right? God you’re pathetic, not everything needs a movie, not everything needs a reboot, and not everything needs to be lore, just let things end you idiot or I’ll come over to your house and pee on your carpet

>Spielberg shows
>only one is a Spielberg
>its one no one has heard of
>moving the goalposts
This is just sad

No.

>Powerpuff Girls
Lets never bring that up again. I don't even know what they were trying to do with it.

Most of their shows weren’t really sagas

Are you implying Yea Forums should only talk about new shows?
Because Yea Forums was (mostly) founded off the backs of nostalgia.

The only CN revival movie I'd really like would be Galactic KND.

Besides that not a lot of other shows really need a resolution.

He kind of is.

>Samurai Jack
Adult Swim, was only good for 3 arguably 4 episodes.
>Powerpuff Girls
Single short that was merely ok and a crappy reboot series. I'll give you this one because it did have a short special.
>Ben 10
Reboot series, doesn't count.
>Harvey Birdman, 12oz Mouse, Space Ghost
What? Those are all AS, not CN. Even then, they never got specials dedicated to them

Sometimes, not every time.

no one wants to see I am Weasel come out as a second Baboon. It's just confusing

>Harvey Birdman, 12oz Mouse
>Even then, they never got specials dedicated to them
Huh?

No it wouldnt

>or fuck off back to Discord
haven't heard that before, is that a new one?

>Inb4 Jhonny test: The return of the whipcrack animated movie for 2022

>Ego Trip
Amazing special.

Everything after it may as well not exist.

Nick > CN

Johnny Test actually is coming back though.

Why?

Cringe

You do realize most stories are just rehashes of stuff that already happened with new characters?

Bringing old stuff back is the opposite of being creatively bankrupt.

>Be 2019
> Watch faggots play vidya
>consider said faggots influential and a form of entertainment

ISHYGDDT

They made Batman and Harley Quinn and Justice league vs the fast five

>unknown reasons

The C&C movie was in development way before the PPG one, it was around the time show was coming to an end

Bait

>on Boomarang
It's gonna fucking flop. When will creators learn putting your 90s revival efforts exclusively on a kids channel is the kiss of death? Putting it on any streaming service is 10 times better

No, they watch both.

youtube.com/watch?v=2kHZ-wraiAQ
What bait? it's truly coming back! THE WHIPCRACKS ARE BACK, BABY!

Nickelodeon is exactly the same channel as it was in the mid-90s. It was a channel for 10 year olds then, and it's still a channel for 10 year olds now.

Cartoon Network OTOH, was a channel that geared a bit older in the 90s. Shows like Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Cow & Chicken, etc were all shows that could be enjoyed by children, but they were also designed so that adults could enjoy them as well. This is not the case with Nickelodeon's cartoons.

Since those days, Cartoon Network has rebranded itself several times to skew its target demographic younger and younger and today it falls more line with Nickelodeon's. Bringing back their older series from the 90s wouldn't make any sense from a demographics standpoint, unless they completely revamp them and aim them at younger children like they did with the Powerpuff Girls reboot from a few years ago.

Because they were built on "nostalgic" content and up until around 2003/2004 were chock full of Hanna-Barbera cartoon "specials" already. You'll never see them do that with their own shows.

Assuming you're an adult, I would hope your interest in cartoons stems largely from your nostalgia for them. Because 99% of cartoons are aimed at very, very young children.

>Dexter's Lab
It may not have an "ending" but it does have Ego Trip, which is a stellar sendoff.
>Johnny Bravo
What is the Valentine's Day special, aka the series finale?
>Cow and Chicken
>Courage the Cowardly Dog
How could you even make a finale for these shows? C&C is slice of life, and Courage is Monster of the Week.
>Billy and Mandy
Big Boogie Adventure would like to have a word with you.

I don't know anything about the Space Ghost shit, but 12oz Mouse had a special last year, and has a third season next year, which I'm pretty excited about.

>How could you even make a finale for these shows? C&C is slice of life, and Courage is Monster of the Week.
Hey Arnold and Gravity Falls had finales you absolute retard

Johnny Bravo got a special in India, and we haven't seen Johnny since.

Hey Arnold had an explicit cliffhanger regarding his parents and Gravity Falls had a villain.
Cow & Chicken, now that I think about it, could go the Catdog route and have Mom & Dad reveal they're adopted and they go find their real parents only to learn family is what you make of it.
But Courage would be ruined if it went the GF route and created a villain that caused everything that ever happened to the Bagge family.

they dont want to taint them with lgbt bullshit

Boomerang is just a cartoon streaming service now. It's not really advertised at just kids anymore since it has all the classics and some new original exclusives. I couldn't see a CCD prequel revival being successful on CN because Courage is out of touch with this generation of kids, but through the Boomerang app/service, I think it'll see more use.

They roboot the big ones. Powerpuff girls comes to mind as a reboot.

>because children don't $THING they just Fortnite/streamer

You have to be the most useless cumbrained NPC who infests threads with I'M SO MUCH SMARTER AND CYNICAL every chance you can get
KIDS STILL BEG PARENTS FOR TOYS, GO TO MOVIES, WATCH CARTOONS AND OTHER SHIT, BECAUSE THEY'RE KIDS
TAKE YOUR DOGE FAMILY MEMES AND FUCK OFF

Isn't Courage the only older show they would occasionaly rerun? I remember seeing some episodes in 2016

They rebooted PPG and had a final season for SJ. Look what the fuck happened.

I thought Chowder's finale was pretty endearing. I can't remember how Flapjack ended but I think that was good too.

I can't think of any big classic CN shows that would benefit from a modern special or ending episode. Their biggest shows already had decent endings or multiple specials/movies while they were airing.

>KIDS STILL BEG PARENTS FOR TOYS, GO TO MOVIES, WATCH CARTOONS AND OTHER SHIT, BECAUSE THEY'RE KIDS
He's right you know. They just text message and the only people who still do buy toys and watch cartoons are manchildren who were 8 years old in 1995.

Huh, I didn't know about that. I don't particularly care about Harvey Birdman so I must've forgot.

I missed all the hoopla and just watched the Static Cling special. Being 100% spoiler free when the Rachael thing happened I still thought the movie was great and very funny. What Yea Forumsmmrads have to say? Meh?

We didn't like it.

No ressources

I literally watched a kid come out of Target clutching an Incredibles toy with glee on their face after I2 dropped. You're so full of shit your eyes are brown.

>You're so full of shit your eyes are brown
Imagine stealing jokes from Hell's Kitchen of all shows. Fuck off
