Snyder was also despised by Cartoon Network fans because the long running cartoon network series [[Ed, Edd n Eddy]] ended in 2009, two years after Snyder had been proclaimed the new administrator of Cartoon Network. He is also infamous for cancelling Toonami, a long-running action cartoon block that had been on the air since 1997. Many changes have been made since Snyder became head. |
