Cartoon Network Nostalgia Thread

There are a couple of Foster's episodes that work better than others, but I do agree that it's more mean-spirited than I originally recalled it as, with little purpose as to why.

I really liked the show when it was on, but I think I might have let the talent involved impress me more than anything else, since the show doesn't do much for me anymore.

Look at what I found!

Storyboards, soundbites, backgrounds, so much cool stuff! Back when company-owned websites were a great outlet for this kind of content.

Holy shit! I remember D.O.C.
Nice find!

Wow, that's blast from the past! Great find! I got to spend an afternoon digging through this sometime.

Walmart has new editions of the first season sets of Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, and Foster's Home. They have new cover art and they're only $10 each. I already own all of these, so I didn't double-dip, but it's worth noting if you haven't got any of these sets yet (although look for the complete PPG set instead if you can).

CN added an "Old School CN" video section on their website. It has classic episodes of various shows from the 90s and 2000s.

Even The What-A-Cartoon Show is on here!

That looks like preparation for HBO Max, and it looks like these particular series will be on there.

Beyond stoked for Ed, Edd n' Eddy to finally have a streaming home, as it hasn't had one since the long-ago days when Netflix had some CN shows. I just hope they have more than the first 2 seasons.

CN is bringing shows like Chowder and Regular Show to the weekday lineup.

Its good that Cartoon Network is FINALLY putting in more variety into their lineup.  Now if they could just stop airing live action movies and shows again.....

+ OG Teen Titans and Ben 10 are airing weekend mornings.

It's cool, but I don't even have cable anymore.

CN.com has shut down.
Thanks, Zazzy-boy!

"The Cartoon Network isn't dead guys" people are in shambles.

This got me thinking about the need for tie-in websites for TV shows and networks, and if they still matter now compared to 20 years ago. Especially since I noticed Disney recently made an interactive Gravity Falls website that GF fans are really getting into, and it reminded me of how much CN back in the day bet hard on having its own little website full of disposable flash games, show guides, and preview clips for upcoming episodes. And yeah, you can say the need for a tie-in website for your TV show is mostly obsolete thanks to how much the internet's changed, but I figure that plenty of series actually need these more than ever in order to have some staying power in the current landscape of tons of TV coming out all at once but in really short seasons.

Being Brak continues to be suffering.

This man cannot catch a break. I still find it to be a big shame that a guy that responsible for most of the entertainment kids received is reduced to working as an Amazon driver.
