Cartoon Network Nostalgia Thread

Yeah, the ECC shorts were better when they were one show, but B&M really benefited from being its own thing.

I did enjoy the cameos when they crossed over, though.

I loved Skarr in Billy & Mandy. The episode when Hector and Ghastly reunited with him was great, too.

[Commode]

I uh, I never never noticed this before:
.
The city of Townsville's ruins in Samurai Jack.  It's so weird.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Yeah, it's kind of a cool, if bleak, nod.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Wasn't there going to be a clip in one of the shows where either the PPG or Jack was seen traveling through time through the others show in the background or something? I thought I remembered that.

That, I don't know about, but I definitely remember the screencaps Chalmey posted.

Oh whoa. Looks like Aku somehow kicked the Powerpuff girls asses.

[Kiddington]

Huh, interesting. Don't think I've ever noticed that before.

That kinda makes me wonder; did Craig McCracken ever work on Jack to any degree? I know Genndy worked with him on Dexter's Lab, but I don't think they did much else together after that. Interesting either way, though.

They worked on Powerpuff Girls together.

Hey guys, check these out; OFFICIAL (or so I'm told) ANNIVERSARY BUMPERS

I'll say, I'm impressed. I was almost certain that, given the amount of promo airspace they usually dedicate to whatever their hot garbage of the month is, they wouldn't find the time to acknowledge this, but apparently they are. Not sure when these will actually air on the channel itself (if they haven't already), but it probably shouldn't be long.

HONG KONG PHOOEY HOLY SHIT

That's much more effort than Nick put forth. I like.

Did they actually put any effort at all into the Nicktoons anniversary? You know, besides the cheap ass DVD sets?

I can't recall them doing anything.

Nick detests its older audience. Or did at the time.

So, yeah. That was pretty much it.

Really, even the token bone that they have thrown to their older audience (The 90's Are All That) is becoming extremely half-assed. They're just sitting on a goldmine of nostalgic programming, and yet they prefer to constantly run the same few episodes of Doug and All That into the ground ad nauseum (although I guess they are finally airing a "new" season of All That; baby steps, I suppose).

I don't get it. It's hard to understand why a network could be so wrapped up in leaving the past behind as they are (and the few attempts they do actually make to revive it are always so weak; they're not doing it as a labor of love, clearly), but, I suppose that's either here nor there.
