Old-School CN Nostalgia Thread (1990s)

[WolfGran]

I seriously doubt '90's kids were clamoring to watch old "Space Ghost", "Herculoids" and "Birdman" re-runs over Fox Kids' "Power Rangers", "X-Men", "Spider-Man" and the like. I of course watched them both, but liked the latter most.

Heck, it's the same thing in this decade. That's why CN no longer airs those shows, because seriously....Birdman? No thanks, I'm sticking with Chowder reruns.

Anyway, thanks for your time, Ace.

BTW, what time would purple-colored bumpers be shown on during the Powerhouse era?

I don't really know, It's probably blue. His TV's colors might have been tinted a bit.

Well, I've seen other Powerhouse bumpers on YT that are obviously purple and don't look tinted in any way by sunlight. The blue bumpers are very blue, like "blue rasberry Jolly Rancher" blue, so it's difficult to mistake the blue bumpers as being purple.

I'm completely out of the loop as far as "Powerhouse" goes. I've always been a "Checkerboard" guy, nothing more. Perhaps you should ask the "Powerhouse" experts over at OTC *points to sig*, as they don't frequent this thread much anymore.

Checkerboard is pretty much cheesy. Powerhouse is more creative compared to the "City" and "Nood" eras.

True in a way. I think Powerhouse just gave more than City. If CN wanted to they could've made the City era way better. People love the City look and for remember it for all that we got. But can you imagine if they actually nurtured it?

Purple colored background bumpers were used for action shows like Batman, Johnny Quest, Swat Kats, Captain Planet, Superman, Superfriends, Speed Racer, Fantastic Four, and many others. Also, the title text was different from the non action show bumpers. I wish I knew the name of the fonts used.

 

[WolfGran]

Checkerboard is pretty much cheesy. Powerhouse is more creative compared to the "City" and "Nood" eras.

But it's the cheesiness that makes the Checkerboard-era bumpers memorable. Nowadays, it's almost impressive to see how much CN could pull off with such a low-budget and minuscule ratings back then.

Purple colored background bumpers were used for action shows like Batman, Johnny Quest, Swat Kats, Captain Planet, Superman, Superfriends.

Thanks!

They aren't the best quality though. I bet a lot of people forgot about these. These bumpers have a bluish white background.

New from 90sCartoonNetwork:
Bugs & Daffy Bumpers (Yellow & Black variants, no blue bumps?)

Great, some more late night-bumpers from the Powerhouse era. I have no idea why, but the bumpers with black backgrounds aren't as common to find on the 'net than the other Powerhouse artifacts.

They had the Boomerang block even during the Powerhouse era? I used to think it died along with the Checkerboard era.

(BTW, I'm trying to keep this thread running so it doesn't fall into oblivion as it did before.)

Oh yeah. Boomerang was on CN for a very long time.

I also remember it coming on since the start of the City era.

A combination of 90s and early 2000s bumpers, promos, and IDs.
BTW, on the slingshot bump, it says that Rocky & Bullwinkle was coming up. Was that before listings came to show what's on next, and follows up later on in the schedule?

A few bumpers from the early 2000's, used on various European versions of CN, including CN Nordic.

Some of them are creative, but others are just as odd as I remember them.

Were those bumpers like the Powerhouse bumpers in the US, with different background color schemes for different times of the day?
