Kinda legit sad about this. He started Cartoon Network, and by extension Toonami and [adult swim]. I can't imagine what my childhood and teenage years would have been like if that never happened. RIP Ted, please don't try to colorize the clouds in Heaven.

I feel like it says something that he founded one of the biggest and most omnipresent news networks in the country, if not the entire world, and yet my immediate reaction to hearing the news was "oh shoot, the Captain Planet guy?"
