I remember when I was around 5 or 6 I was watching a Billy and Mandy episode where Billy is screaming in the basement over a giant spider and when Grim walks in to ask what he was doing, Billy says "Picking my nose, and I found this webby booger!" And when grim asks why he was screaming, Billy...
I made a thread similar to this a couple years back (it feels good to be back on Toonzonr after the 7-month long outage) about cartoons you regret ignoring as a kid so I guess I've sort of already asked this, but this is for cartoons of any time period, whether you were a kid or an adult, so...
What are some TV shows that, in your opinion, "jumped the shark" as a result of the actors, usually children or teenagers, getting older?
Here's my list:
-iCarly
-7th Heaven
-The Brady Bunch
-Happy Days (the trope-namer for jumping the shark)
-Leave It to Beaver
-Modern Family
-The Goldbergs...
Around fall of 2007, Cartoon Network started giving away 3D glasses to go along with the premiere of the Halloween episodes of Foster's and Out of Jimmy's Head. I remember getting them, but I don't remember how they were sold? Did they just come inside the box for the Thrillville: Off the Rails...
It was acknowledged in 2012's 20th anniversary video and poster and in the OK KO! Nexus crossover. But yeah, other than that they've largely ignored it.
The South Park episode The New Terrance and Phillip Movie Trailer from 2002 involves the boys (with Kenny being replaced with Butters due to the former's "permanent" death) looking for TVs in many different houses and locations around town to see the premiere of the never-before-seen trailer for...
How come Comedy Central never shows Season 1 in reruns anymore? I don't even remember the last time they showed an episode from that season. They're going to be showing Terrence and Phillip in Not Without My... of all episode on November 1st if TV guides are correct, but when was the last time...
3 to 5 years old isn't a toddler. The age bracket for toddlerhood is 1-2 since the term comes from "toddling" and the lack of ability for very young children to walk steadily. By age 3 most kids are usually walking normally. And many 5-year-olds are in kindergarten.
"Kid" is a nonliteral term...
How come within the past decade, CN has largely ignored and refused to acknowledge The Moxy Show, What a Cartoon!, Mike, Lu and Og, Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad, Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003), What Ever Happened to Robot Jones...?, Megas XLR, Squirrel Boy, Class of 3000, Transformers...
This is a discussion I've made regarding the tradition of treating age 13 as the end of childhood and 12 and under as the defined age range for children, and how members have experienced it personally, how long the tradition has existed, and what's to blame for it.
In media and pop culture, 13...
I wonder if CN was aware that Everett Peck died and is their first original creator to pass, or if they completely forgot about him since his contract with the network expired a decade ago and that's why they didn't acknowledge Squirrel Boy during their 30th anniversary. Even if they did know, I...
Here are more from the depths of my memory which haven't been mentioned yet:
-Eggo's Waffles with the little girl and dad trying to steal the waffles. ("Leggo my Eggo!")
-Fruity Pebbles with Fred and Barney
-Campbell's Soup with the brother and sister (which typically showed the inside of their...
What are some commercials you remember being overplayed on TV during your childhood to the point where they have been engraved in your mind?
As someone who grew up in the 2000s, here is my list:
-The Baby Bottle Pop song (I think it was sung by the Jonas Brothers)
-The Dannimals Crush Cups...
Bob's Burgers regularly airs as part of ACME Night and even uses the CN screenbug during airings, so, I guess that counts? This isn't too surprising since most of the content in the show has gone uncensored in their airings of TV-PG movies, and I don't think they have aired any TV-14 episodes.
So was the 1st confirmed to be the last day of the month or year where CN will air anything earlier than 2010? Not counting Courage since it is most likely airing to promote the Scooby-Doo crossover, though if they were also airing it for Halloween they would also air Billy and Mandy.
I mean, Nickelodeon aired Oh Yeah Cartoons! abruptly in 2007 for the Super Stuffed Nicktoons Weekend marathon despite OYC! not airing since it ended and they even aired Rocko, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers and Aaaah!!! Real Monsters for the last times on the main network just for their animation...
I think it's because MeTV shows them now. Free OTA reruns seems to translate to better ratings for syndicated reruns of classic shows.
I already mentioned Time Squad. Also I suppose it would serve them no purpose to show Grim and Evil since its successor is more well-known and already being...
So... The October 1st schedule was leaked on Twitter. And I honestly am worried about this being their peak schedule in terms of new additions. We still have not seen Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, Johnny Bravo, Camp Lazlo, Gym Partner, or Samurai Jack (pre-Adult Swim obviously). Do you think the...
Was the commercial catchphrase "Get your parents' permission and..." used in commercials for children's websites or technology products that collect user data ever since the World Wide Web launched in the early 90s, or did it only begin to be used starting with 2000 once the Children's Online...
Post-Powerhouse example: Around the Nood era, when CN would sign off, the blank Nood guy would paint the screen transitioning from CN to Adult Swim with the Parental Advisory screen appearing; once it showed up, the Nood ran away in fear as some voice echoing "Hit it!" played. IIRC, initially he...
-That all adult animation is South Park level explicit.
-That South Park is nothing more than a vulgar crude show full of swearing, raunchy and toilet humor and teaches bad lessons at the end, even though the earlier episodes, and even some of the newer ones, were pretty tame and the characters...
One of the local ads I saw in a Cartoon Network Invaded commercial break during Camp Lazlo posted on YouTube was about Internet pornography addiction.
I also remember seeing trailers for The Hangover aired fairly often on Nickelodeon around 2009.
I should probably add that it isn't healthy to hold certain years in such high regard that you immediately dismiss anything from the following year. I remember New Year's Eve 2008, at 7 years old, where I was reminiscing on how good a year was 2008 was and how many good shows/episodes aired this...
Updated to cross out the shows which are now confirmed to air on their schedule during anniversary month. Let me know if there are others I forgot to cross out or shows I forgot to mention that were significant enough to be aired during their anniversary.
Now all we need is Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel, PPG (original), Foster's, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Ben 10 (original), Flapjack, Uncle Grandpa (HBO Max betrayed us), Steven Universe, Clarence, and Apple and Onion and CN's 30th Anniversary will be complete. I'm hoping they can throw...
Since there's already a 2010s kids nostalgia fandom surfacing on YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, etc., what do you think the kids of this decade will be reminiscing on in the next 10-15 years when they become tweens/teenagers/young adults?
From the top of my head, I think the following will garner...
Gonna be perfectly honest, but even though I had my hopes up, I don't think there's much hope left for CN to do an anniversary marathon this year. While I wouldn't doubt they'll air some classics given they did just that last Christmas, I don't think it's within CN's best interest to air their...
Here are all the differences I can think of:
Things that were popular but have fallen out of fashion (in no particular order):
-Vine (the OG TikTok)
-Impact font memes
-Google+ (it took over YouTube in 2013)
-Fidget spinners
-The Annoying Orange
-Smosh
-FRED
-Yahoo! Answers
-The Twilight saga...
I honestly don't think it's going to happen since most Family Guy fans didn't like the show and were demanding AS to give it the axe after Cleveland had returned on Family Guy. And I don't blame them: TCS is regarded as one of the worst spin-offs in not only animation history but television...
It left a good impression on me. Being able to see Futurama or Family Guy kick off the beginning of the night every day was convenient. Honestly however, I don't remember seeing CN on at midnight before this change had occurred, which is weird considering how often I stood up.
