The CC

The CC (Cartoon Comedy) is an American basic cable network that regularly airs animated comedies (live-action ones and dramas also air, too). The channel's programming is aimed at kids ages 7-18, and as of January 2016, is available to approximately 1 million pay television households (11.6% of households with at least one television set) in the United States.

2008–16
The CC was founded back in March 1, 2008 (back then called the Cartoon Comedy; it changed to The CC in 2013) by Brandon Cornish (1953-2017), who had dreams of creating a network that aired animated comedies in the vein of Cartoon Network, which at the time of planning was popular. The channel, however, would not air its first program until March 13, 2009, when Bobby Gibby's started airing. Even though it had success in its first four years of airing, the show started declining in viewers and what many people considered a "good plot". The show aired a lengthy 7 years and 208 episodes. As of December 2016, My Weird School is still in the air (having survived a near-cancellation after it ended its 2nd season in December 1, 2011, until a contract was renewed to air a special season plus 5 more seasons, with more to be planned), and has aired 4 seasons as 90 episodes, making it the longest-airing program on the channel, following behind Bobby Gibby's.

2016–
On December 20, 2016, Cornish was fired from his position as president after Internet backlash suggested he didn't respond to "The CC CCurse" and greenlit shows that would air for a few proper years (3 or 5 at the very least). He was replaced with Serena Gamble (b. 1967), who received positive attention after she greenlit the controversial animated musical dramedy, PikaRap. It has been suggested that Gamble would bring the "golden age" of The CC after the aforementioned PikaRap received positive reviews for its daring new move to the channel. So far, she has greenlit An Anthology, The New Goosebumps, Love Adventure, Stuffy Quests, Monsters!, The Bart Simpson Show, and Supernews!.

On May 12, 2017, it was announced that big changes would be made to the channel the following year, including a "rebranding" which will involve a new logo that will represent the channel for 2018, and a new name.

The channel has aimed to reboot or continue some of its properties, starting with Famous ISD, with a special set to air on July 7, 2017. This is just the beginning, as shows that have ended could potentially have specials as well.

Brandon Cornish tribute
On April 9, 2017, the channel went quiet and didn't air programs for an entire day as a tribute to Brandon Cornish, who had died that day aged 63.

Truman Cornish tribute
Yet again on May 12, 2017, Brandon's dad killed himself at the age of 89 after reportedly still being distraught by the death of his beloved son, Brandon. May 13 is expected as when the channel will once again shut down and avoid airing of any programs.

Programming
Main article: List of programs broadcast by The CC (Cartoon Comedy)

Brandon Cornish wanted only animated comedies to air on the channel, but afterwards accepted other shows which stayed away from this genre, such as Negative, which was the 1st live-action dramatic show that aired on the channel, and one of a few shows which managed to air for a year. The other show to do this was Those Darned Toys!, the 2nd live-action show. The final show was yet again another live-action show, I Survived.

The shows are aimed at kids aged 7-18.

"The CC CCurse", cancellation, and early endings
Though it has found success with its shows, The CC has been notorious for having shows either axed, cancelled, or ending early due to the creator's decision. This effect has been called "The CC CCurse". In fact, out of the channel's programs, only four of them managed to air for a full year or more: Negative (its 1st live-action show; a year), The Wonderful Wizard of Pop Culture (2 years), Wayside (a year), Oh, The Places We'll Go! (partially 2 years), and Larry! (a year). The show with the longest years on the air, however, was My Weird School, still airing after 7 years. Below are the shows who suffered cancellation or early endings: 

Famous ISD: Though it did modest in the ratings at the beginning, the show just couldn't seem to keep them for long, and by the time the show aired its 10th (and last) episode, it got an abysmal 1.4M rating. The show only aired for 1/3 of a year, which would be 4 months.

Another most short-lived program on this channel, Freshmen: A spin-off of The Adventures of Teddy and Friends (which had ended by that point) that only managed to air a short season of 8 episodes before getting axed halfway through due to low ratings. The show only aired for a week.

The 2nd shortest-lived program on this channel was RoboCop, which only aired for partially two weeks throughout June 30-July 11, 2014. The reason for the cancellation was never given, though it may have been due to the many controversies surrounding it, including a "sexist" episode, a episode showing animal cruelty (which only aired once), and a episode featuring someone with mental disorders, something The CC (Cartoon Comedy) would never show.

Abominable Snowman: It aired 26 episodes (52 segments) throughout 1/2 a year (6 months), though its early ending was due to the creator's decision in wrapping up the story, not cancellation.

Those Darned Toys!: Another show which ended due to the creator's decision in pursuing other projects, Those Darned Toys! only aired a season of 9 episodes for a month, thus making it the third most short-lived program on this channel.

Robot Buddies: Yet another show that ended due to the story being wrapped up, it only aired 26 episodes for a single season, and for only 1/2 a year (6 months), yet again.

By far, the shortest series in The CC history is Pignite! Incorporated''. It only aired for 2 episodes. These episodes aired in a single day'', August 2, 2010. It was meant as a one-off show, so it was not considered cancelled. The concept of a one-off show has not been done again since.

In response to the supposed curse, Brandon Cornish has stated that he will make sure the current and upcoming shows on the channel become more successful. However, on December 20, 2016, Cornish was fired from his position as president of The CC after Internet backlash suggested he did "not keep his promise".
