Idk how many of you are wrestling fans, but Stu Snyder was featured in the last episode of Who Killed WCW? Really the main point they make is that Time Warner and Turner in general invested in their product and allowed a lot of freedom. WCW never had anyone in charge and they didn't understand...

I remember years ago I thought Boomerang should've rebranded into Kids WB! once the block ended and split it's time with Toonami as it's late night programming. CN/AS would've kept their split. They really missed a chance to create the American home for Anime.

So I'm guessing with this new direction we won't be seeing Berserk airing uncut? lol

I have a big say in this because I was born a month after CN launched, so I have a lot of perspective on this era. CN became something special in the 1999-2004 range. It just had everything you could want in a network. Now I watched Nick, Toon Disney, etc. but CN was my favorite place. The...

I think that's going to be the future... Because they're losing so much money on streaming compared to cable bundles...so they're going to find a way to get that ad revenue higher when they know people are tuning in. YouTube TV's model is so awesome.

I kind of wish they would've just released it all at once, I personally just don't like the pacing of this episode and it just ending. I could've waited longer...just didn't feel like a good cliffhanger type of ending.

No I think they just took longer than usual to record the lines. It was always coming on Toonami first as per the agreement, but they were still recording their lines a good bit after the original aired in Japan. My only hope is that it means they recorded all of their lines in those...

I've posted in another thread, but I've worked in the Ad/TV industry and I'll tell you more about the future... You've seen transitions through history.... Print media lost a lot to Radio/TV, but it still had a place for news/opinion. The internet was it's final nail. It hasn't died, but it's...

I'll post this in multiple threads since I worked in the TV/Ad business and where I see things... TV Networks like CN are going to become more and more like your local newspaper and local radio. Your newspaper still has subscribers who don't like change, the money doesn't matter, and/or aren't...

That really must have been a great era, I was ending HS and going to college during those years...but it was cool seeing CN finally have some breakout shows. The 2006-2010 years were so bad and they lost their identity and a lot of ground to Nick and Disney Channel. Those were some all-time...

As someone who has watched CN since the late 90's, I kinda like this rebrand. Ever since the city, most of the rebrands have just been more "corporate synergy" types...didn't feel alive or creative. The noods started out with potential, but it just stayed a flat gimmick. What's funny is I...

I don't think revenues on AS really factor in to the new episodes on FOX as much as you think. They do factor in syndication and such, but those deals will continue to be attached to the other seasons which already make so much anyways. But the new episodes will stay on as long as they can get...

When I was younger I was all interested in this weird Space Ghost show...I was also a kid that watched the Simpsons reruns as early as age 7... I remember the Adult Swim block on Sundays and it began my interest...Mission Hill, Home Movies & The Oblongs...but the rest of the shows kinda...

I think the "old way" back before streaming...the mindset was that these TV movies would need to sell also as stand-alone movies that could be sold on DVD/VHS. They could end the story, but it would be more about a stand alone story that could sell to viewers who weren't familiar with the...

Fall is the worst and it's not even close.

I think it was a panic due to the drop in ratings and overall confusion of the network strategy...as the AOL Time Warner Merger was taking hold. The Samples/Snyder transition was going on and the economy wasn't great..but the big thing was Nick and Disney had become unstoppable monsters that...

This was a Cartoon Cartoon 2.0 era. KND, Foster's, Grim & Mandy, & Lazlo. They truly took the torch from Dexter, Bravo, PPG, Courage, etc. and were great shows that people of all ages could appreciate. Unlike a lot of CN shows, it really was one of the first that could deal with serious...

Mid 1990's I remember watching Johnny Quest with my brother. I remember it was an action block that pre-dated Toonami (power zone)....and western block (High Noon Toons). Update: Found them!

I think Monday generally is a bigger night for TV viewing overall. Sunday is the biggest night for everyone, but they never have tried it big for kids TV. I think because mainly...Nick & Disney pretty much controlled Friday/Saturday/Sunday....and they tried Thursday but it didn't work. So they...

My favorite show from What A Cartoon was Mina and the Count. Granted...Billy and Mandy had a similar feel to it...it would've been great. But the biggest? Larry & Steve...which became Family Guy! Fox saw the shorts and loved it. Imagine if CN would've given this the chance? History would be...

And some good discussion about Saturday Morning Cartoons. That's the era I'd love to here so much about...because there are a lot of toons from that era that don't get talked about. Not to mention the Flintstones as a primetime series.

What's interesting is that Toonheads started in 1992 talking about Cartoons from the 1930-40's If it got started again in 2022, 30 years later, you'd be going more in depth about the Cartoons of the 1960's and 1970's. A lot more about HB! and Scooby Doo? Saturday Morning Cartoons?

Goodbye to Bloo Honestly, I think they made that episode as a Finale in a way where it felt like the last show, but at the same time left open the possibility they could return some day....but that never came.

2007 Was the year and it was due to Stuart Snyder IMO Jim Samples resigned due to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force "bomb scare" and then Snyder took over...Snyder wanted to make the network his own and over the next year, CN began to look like a new network. A lot of stuff was already in place, but...

Powerhouse really lasted from like 98-03 and it really was the best of both worlds... -The best variety on the network ever. Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Dexter, Bravo, Space Ghost, DragonBall Z, Samurai Jack, PPG, Pokemon, Batman TAS...etc etc etc -The best bumps on the network. I...

It comes down to branding and being first to market. -Disney is a powerhouse brand that goes back generations with movies & stars. They already had a built in audience. Then they've just added with their tween-com type shows with stars. Stuck to a formula and it worked. -Nickelodeon had a jump...

Apparently it was a easter egg that Heifer from Rocko was the Scout Master, but with Copyrights they had to make him look different...you be the judge! (Kenny voiced both)

The fact that the last episode showed that Lumpus was actually an imposter and the real Lumpus arrived and put the imposter in a straight jacket is one of the most insane finales of all time. That era had some weird Finales....Foster's last episode was really just about Mac moving down the...

Best thing about the streaming age is that projects like that generally will come out because they need content. In the TV/DVD age, they had to justify getting it on air or being able to get it released in stores/theaters. Now, if they start to put money into it they're going to release it...

Honestly, CN the linear channel is now the 2nd most important childrens brand to their HBO Max streaming service... So remember when WB! still prioritized Kids WB! on Saturday mornings and CN! had it's Cartoon Cartoons slowly building a brand? Or when Disney prioritized One Saturday Morning...

Showing my age, I remember I started reading this forum at the end of the Lazlo years....back when people were saying CN was losing it's edge. Although I was in middle school when it was on the air, it was a "kids" cartoon I could keep watching...even if I was an Adult Swim guy. Great writing...

I'd really like CN to become a brand of Warner Media that's all about cartoon development. It needs to be led by the creators of the best CN shows. Let Genndy, Craig McKracken, Maxwell "Atoms", Mr. Warburton, JG Quintel, Pendleton Ward, and many other creators lead that studio and develop the...

Awesome. This show was beloved...but the network really didn't give this the love it deserved. It was funny and popular. Samples was actually starting to promote is heavily with the Yes! bumps. It was funny, creative, and memorable. It was pretty popular too. CN really had some great momentum...

Question for those watching. Those of us who watched the original series knows the difference between the first 3 seasons versus the rest of the show. I remember reading about the arguments about Paul Germain and the staff versus Klasky. I remember the issues about Klasky saying Angelica was...

We all know the What A Cartoon Show produced Bravo, Dexter, PPG, Courage, etc. But the Cartoonstitute did produce Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa. Now they cut this program short, but these shows along with AT really helped spark the new era for CN focused on animation. This will be good if...

As far as quality? It's hard to say the whole 2000's, because 2006-2009 was just awful. The early 90's didn't have new shows and the network really didn't get it's legs until 98-99. But there was still quality. The 2010-current has had some great series...but it's been on autopilot. If I...

The original CN was just about Toons. Funny toons, action, anime, etc. It was just about a variety of shows. But CN was the true successor of the Hanna Barbera and the Looney Tunes early era of Cartoons. Cartoon-Cartoons was just a fun vibe. They felt like an ensemble of toons that fit...

As a kid that grew up with the early/original CN, then had the best years of the Powerhouse, ended with the CN City, and fell out during the NOOD era due to age..... Cartoon Network itself was the combination of Warner Brothers & Hanna Barbera. Their history is what built CN. The answer is Bugs...

The 24/7 Adult Swim idea kinda came from seeing how successful the VICE Channel has been. A younger trending brand that got into a TV network. That's where cable/networks lost big. Streaming did make things more convenient, but my Spectrum subscription pretty much gives me everything I want...

I was watching Kids WB! at the time it was on...or You Pick Live on Nick!
