As much as I’d like to claim this is a practical joke, this is the ACTUAL CARTOON NETWORK SCHEDULE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY TO NEW YEARS EVE.
H-how?! This is a marathon of EVERY EPISODE (all 203) of Teen Titans Go! repeated 2.5 times in a row. Who asked for this? Who asked for “instead of a decent or just remotely tolerable Christmas schedule, maybe with some of those old specials we put on the app, let’s just run a show we have already marathoned for almost every other major holiday or premiere this year for EIGHT DAYS??”
Oh yeah, there’s Steven Universe. I hope you noticed that. I hope you noticed those TWO episodes it has, both being TV premieres (Sadie Killer, Kevin Party). 1 week before the SU half-hour special that will probably get super-hyped by CN. Those two episodes makes this schedule just even more absurd. The TTG marathon could have stopped that day. It could have stopped after SU. But nevertheless, it persisted.
New Years Eve is the absolute stopping point for the marathon. Unikitty! premieres on the 1st and will start getting all the attention for a month at least. So there’s an end. But still. Eight. Fucking. Days. I don’t mean to curse on a blog about, well, Cartoon Network. But still. EIGHT. FUCKING. DAYS.
I-I try to find silver linings in every terrible CN schedule. Like that one from August. “At least they’re giving OK K.O.! a lot of trust!” But… I don’t… think I can find a silver lining in this. SU is just aired because it was advertised so and that they need to air those episodes before “Lars of the Stars” and “Jungle Moon” the week after. So, here’s my attempt at a silver lining for this… you don’t need to watch this. You could be watching the holiday specials that CN posted on their app. Make your own schedule out of that. I could watch “Hey Hey It’s Knishmas” all the doo-dah day if I wanted to.
Yeah, I know. The silver lining is basically “don’t watch CN this week.” But, yeah. It’s got to the point where that’s my suggestion. Good luck trying to catch a Christmas special on Boomerang, btw. Just the app or cable on demand.
2017 has been one heck of a year for the network. You had two new shows! Ben 10 and OK K.O.! First show is alright, second show is amazing! Then Teen Titans showed up! Then the original Ben 10 showed up! Then Regular Show showed up after ending in January! Then Ben 10 and Regular Show disappeared quickly. But that was expected. The bigger surprise is that Teen Titans is still on the lineup.
But the schedule had problems. Teen Titans Go! marathons were getting longer. More frequent. More pointless. I thought there would be some nice stuff for Christmas. I thought the holiday specials they put on the CN app were a good sign.
I shouldn’t have hope.
Merry Christmas!
Here’s what’s new that week:
Steven Universe - Friday (12/29) at 7:30p
Top… 2:
Teen Titans Go! - 384 - 99%
Steven Universe - 2 - 2%
I don’t usually post schedules from over a week from now, but I just had to for this. I don’t think anything will change on the schedule. Maybe the order of which episodes air, but that doesn’t really matter. If there’s something more drastic, like, say, CN ending the marathon early for some surprise reason, I’ll be there to change the pic.

I redid these old headshots for Tiny Sapient Ungulates, since I’d made several crucial changes (like whiskers) and wanted to see how the designs had evolved. I also tried out lineless artwork for the first time in forever! It seems to fit the alarmingly realistic sensibilities of TSU, and brings me one step closer to summoning these uncanny beasts into our physical world
Previous home details: Darwin
was born in Canada as part of the exotic pet trade in 2012, and had
lived in a family home in Toronto. He was found in an IKEA parking lot
in December 2012 after escaping from his owner’s car and was seized by
local authorities. A social media and worldwide news sensation, Darwin
has resided at SBFPS ever since.
Condition upon arrival: Darwin
had been imprinted by humans, which rarely bodes well for a monkey. He
was very insecure upon arrival, and needed to be the centre of
everyone’s attention. He was sheltered from the other monkeys until he
got used to his surroundings.
Progress: Since
his arrival Darwin has grown in strides - learning to be far more
monkey than human. He is grooming Sweet Pea, and calls to Julien and
Lexy - mimicking their vocalizations and learning how to speak macaque.
He has grown in size and confidence as well, and was slowly transitioned
towards having multiple caregivers who he can trust and love as his
‘troop’, as he had no real monkey mother to show him the ropes.
Personality Traits: Darwin
is a cheeky little guy, that’s for sure! He loves to play all day, and
is always bouncing off the walls with excitement, especially when his
favourite people come to visit! He loves to play tricks on you when
you’re not looking, like any adolescent!
Favourite Activity: Darwin
loves Curious George! He has a Curious George doll whom he takes to his
pool to give a bath, and grooms him and tries to get him to drink. He
also loves swinging on his fire hose.
Favourite Food: Darwin loves grapes, dates and cherries - but cherries definitely top the list!
Wish list from staff: Darwin can always use new and exciting toys, and he loves his fire hose swings and swimming in kiddie pools!
