Cartoon Network’s “Tickle U”

August 23, 2005December 26, 2009 andertoons

So CN has launched a new block of programming aimed at preschoolers called “Tickle U.”

I’m not sure my son and I will be watching, but I have to admire their approach:

Instead of trying to teach facts, like “Dora The Explorer” on Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network shows are simply aimed at making kids laugh.

“You know they’re going to get the A-B-Cs and 1-2-3s in preschool,” said Pola Changon, Cartoon Network’s vice president for on-air production.

Instead, the “Tickle U.” cartoons are aimed at developing a sense of humor in young kids.

I also dig their tag — “School of Knock Knocks.”

Good New Days?

I remember when Cartoon Network started and was basically rerunning old Hanna Barbera stuff. Now…

…”Adult Swim” — a late-night block of edgy animated series — is drawing more viewers aged 18 to 34, a key category for advertisers, than CBS’ ”Late Show With David Letterman.”

I’d like to repeat that for all of the cartoonists who complain about how much better it was in the old days.
