Cartoon Network: Their lineup is: 98% Charlie Chaplin, 2% Hamlet

Cartoon Network in an odd way, is like Shakespeare. They have a fine dual appreciation for both the tragic and the comedic:


How so, you ask me?


Well, allow me to explain.


The vast majority of the day and night, they just want you to laugh at really messed up stuff.


But on rare occasions, when they CARE about you, care about EVERYONE viewing really, they'll make room for dramatic animated programming from around the world: Tragedies and epic dramas that often fail in the ratings, but deliver us lord from every evil:


Shows like:

• Star Wars The Clone Wars
• Ghost in the Shell
• GI Joe RESOLUTE
• Naruto
• The Animatrix
• Metropolis
• Alexander
• Cowboy Bebop
• Gundam
• Thundercats
• Redakai

also known as THE  BEST OF THE BEST.

Every once in a while they'll take the high road. And I don't just mean an elevated expressway, I mean the door to Heaven Itself. What a wonder to behold.
