Advantages: Great for the kids

Disadvantages: none

Cartoon network well what is it you may ask well for those that have not sussed it out by the title then here we go on a full run down of what a great channel it is not only for kids but for the child in you.

The Cartoon Network is available on Sky and Digitial TV channels usually free with a basic package and in my view is the best childrens channel around.
It plays cartoons 24 hrs a day which has really been a god send when my daughter has been unable to sleep because she was ill so in she got with me in bed and she watched and I slept.

The cartoons they show are a real mix of old classics that most people between 20-40 years old will remember and some new but very good ones.

POWER PUFF GIRLS

Blossom,Buttercup and Bubbles are three girls created by the Professor for himself but he accidentally put in CHEMICAL X which has given the girls super powers and they fly around all day fighting crime on behalf of Townsville and the Mayor who of course has a Power Puff Hotline.
The crimanals they fight include MOJO JOJO the mad monkey,The Gangarine Gang and him the gay devil type creature.
Loads of fun and keeps the little ones attention for ages if you need some time to get housework done.

JOHNNY BRAVO

Everbodys favorite guy all he wants is a date and all he gets is a slap he loves himself to the heavens and it is great fun to watch him trying to pull.
He also has his own on screen radio show TOON>FM which gives viewers the chance to win prizes.



THE CRAMP TWINS

This is a new one on and is fantastic it is about two twin brothers who are totally different one blue and one normal one evil the other good lots of swamp referances and a very cleanliness obsessed mother make for great fun especially when swamp weed is involved.
Suitable for all but 6+ is about right.

ANGELA ANACONDA

Not as the title may suggest anything to do with snakes but a sort of cartoon c
ome film programme about a girl called you got it who has a real enemy at school in the form of Ninette Manour who is rich and spoilt.
Gina Lash the fat one and Johnny Eranie are her friends and are always out to avenge NINNIE POP as they call her.
Loads of laughs and Pizza eating here but my little one does'nt tend to take to it better for 5+ years.

DEXTERS LAB

Now this has to be my absolute favorite our small but very smart friend DEXTER has a lab in his room that nobody knows about where he creates the most amazing machines and robots but he is always hampered by his annoying sister DEE DEE who tip toes around his lab and is always trying to give him away and destroying his things.

TOM&JERRY

An all time favorite for us all i'm sure only problem here is that we tend to have seen all the episodes but the kids love it and TOM & JERRY's antics are always enjoyable to watch again and again.

DRAGONBALL Z

This really is an action packed cartoon based losely on the old adult cartoons but suitable for all ages best audience though I feel is 8+ as it does have quite a lot of fighting etc so the plot well magic powers compared in duels by alien looking creatures is the only way I can describe it really.

THUNDERBIRDS

They have just started to re-run all the old Thunderbird episodes and they are as great today as they were when I was a kid.
Thunderbirds for those who don't know is a puppet animation programme where international rescue are sent out to stop world domination etc in a series of vechiles great effects and well ahead of it's time when it was first made still very eyecatching for little ones and my daughter loves it but I must admit so do I.

FLY TALES

Great short cartoons but no voices just the everyday troubles of a normal fly.
Good fun.Suits all ages.

ED,EDD and EDDY

Great cartoon about three friends all named ed in some
sense trying to con money out of people or always up to some sort of mischief.
Greatest charecther in this is PLANK as piece of wood with a face who little jimmy thinks is alive great fun for all but maybe a bit above understanding of under 3s.

POPEYE

Need I say anymore we all know POPEYE and OLIVE OIL and BLUTO not forgetting the loveable PEE WEE.
Classic cartoon capers with loads of spinach we all love it im sure.
Suits all ages.

SCOOBY DOO

This really does take me back to childhood and I loved Scooby DOOBY DOOOOOOOOOOOO as we all did and here on cartoon network they have them on everyday and oh what fun with Shaggy and the gang they also show the newer scooby ones but they are a bit to modified I like the oldies best but the kids will love them all.

There are many other programmes on the channel but this is just a select few and I'm sure I have bored you senseless by now so I will leave you with a summery of what the channel is like-

ADVERTS - Right Balance but all aimed at kids.

REPEATS - Yes alot are reapeated but how could they have it on all day otherwise.
They do alternate programmes every now and again.

NEW SHOWS - They screen a new show roughly every couple of months so there is variation.

AGE ALLOWANCE - They have programmes that all can watch so you don't have to worry about rushing to turn over but some suit youngsters better than others.

BYE and thanx for reading.
