Tuesday Nights

Should Tuesday Nights be a block aimed at kids and teens on CN?

Why Tuesday nights specifically ? Just curious.

My personal feeling is that kids and teens don't need a specific block on CN; the whole channel's programming could be kid-and-family friendly (or at least kid-and-family inclusive) in the hours preceding Adult Swim. Unless said block would be designated for airing premieres or follow some specific theme, like comedy, action, girl-focused etc., a youth-centric program block on an all-ages channel sounds kind of redundant.

I don't know. A kids centric program block on a kid centric channel seems unnecessary, unless you plan to focus on a specific genre of program, like comedy, action, sci-fi, etc.

And yeah, I know the ideal is for Cartoon Network to be an all-ages channel, but "all ages" includes kids and kids love cartoons, so aiming an animation channel towards kids is a no-brainer. A teen centric program block could work, but are there really enough teen focused cartoons to an entire block devoted to them?

That's where Gumball aired before

I don't see blocks returning on the current state on cable TV. You can have some type of a Saturday morning premiere block but doing a block makes no sense as they air the same shows anyway like they already do.

Technically they did try in 2011-14 with The Looney Tunes Show, Gumball, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, Total Drama, Johnny Test, Scaredy Squirrel, Level Up, and Uncle Grandpa airing on said block, but ended when Cartoon Network opted to have all the comedy shows in one Thursday block by June 2014.
