That's right folks, today marks 20 years of cartoon network!

To celebrate this great day, CN has been airing episodes of some of it's old hit shows! All leading up to a brand new season premeir of "Regular Show" one of their current big hits.


So I think this is as good a time as any for us to take a trip down memory lane and share all of our childhood favs on this network and the times when CN use to be pretty good.


Personally would be nice to see Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, and Simbionic Titan get some love. But it doesn't look like those shows were even mentioned at all this past month. Oh well at least they're showing some of their other gems.

Things I'd like to see:
-The old CN bumpers; the ones with all the Cartoon Cartoon stars and classic characters interacting with each other. I miss those.
-The original Dexter's Lab. The later seasons had a different voice actor and different art style, and I remember not liking it as much.
-Johnny Bravo.
-There was a show about theree time travellers I used to like... called Time Squad or something?
-Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
-Two Stupid Dogs
-Cartoon Planet and Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast
-Some of the old classics: Wacky Races, Thundercats, Pirates of Dark Water, etc.

Don't you guys have Boomerang? All it does is play what CN played in the 90s. Is this a rare case of Australian TV beating American?

We have that one over here, it had all those glorious cartoons. Then, it became yet another tween network.

Then, this happened. Also, no commercials in that channel IIRC.

AT

ALL

The Tooncast site has 2 languages, spanish and portuguese, which tells me that the channel isn't available in english speaking countries. Still, I can watch them cartoons in english just fine if I mess around with my tv box thingy's options.

Also, Mauve, it has those cartoons interacting with each other things, the cartoon music videos and even good ol' silly things like Frothy Dawg and Captain Linger.

What Mauve said, basically.

What Double M said, minus Foster's and Time Squad, and more emphasis on Pirates of Dark Water.

Mind you, I've been able to like some of their new/newer shows enough. Cut out the inane morning anime and there could be room to give everyone some love.

They should just run like 4 hour blocks of MGM and Schlesinger/Warner Bros. cartoons like they did back when they first started.

And that's that!

WHAT?

I missed all this? but, I even had the day off and, was looking for stuff to watch and relax and.... *headdesk*

Cartoon Network introduced me to Dragon Ball Z, I will always be happy about that.
