It was when my childhood died

Remember those great shows on Cartoon Network like Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd n Eddy, Tom and Jerry, Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends and the like?  Those were great cartoons that I held onto dearly as a kid, then slowly, very very slowly, each show got cancelled one by one, year by year.  Each time a show got cancelled and replaced with another, anotherp peice of my childhood disappeared.  And it was the when I was in 6th or 7th grade that they stopped Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Miguzi that everything worth watching minus Toonami was worth watching on Cartoon Network. And that was when my childhood died and I had to become a big boy.  Later on I started watching Discovery Channel and became a big boy.  Life sucked since that moment, I stopped getting cable and only had basic cable a few months later and watched That's 70 Show and the Simpsons on a daily basis and enjoyed a nice 2 hours of awesome TV, then the stupid Tyra Banks show messed up everything and TV sucks for me again.  

And that's when my childhood died.  When all of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network all got cancelled.

I suppose it's a brief evolution of Cartoon Network, I suppose these new shows like Chowder and Total Drama Island is like the new Dexters Lab, etc. and in a few years when they're replaced with crappier shows the same kids that watched those shows will think the same think I think right now.
