@RandomMe Have you ever heard of "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience? If not, I think you may want to check it out when you have the time (emphasis on "when you have the time" because it's over 13 minutes long).
I sure did something on Discord today...though it was only seen by two people.
An unpopular opinion: no homage to Cartoon Network is complete without Carrot Top.
Notice how I didn't say it's my unpopular opinion.
What a day...among other things, I bought Rembrandt Films Greatest Hits and the 1990s Speed Racer film (the one with vintage commercials and Colonel Bleep), both on VHS, at two different stores.
R.I.P. Kazuhisa Hashimoto, creator of the Konami Code.
R.I.P. Diana Serra Cary, the last known living Hollywood star from the Silent Era.
R.I.P. Ja'Net DuBois, the singer/co-writer of "Moving On Up" for The Jeffersons, as well as a performer on shows such as Good Times and The PJs.
As February often seems to me like "the armpit of the year" (to quote Garfield)- sometimes more than usual- I'm aiming to turn it around this year. No promises, though.
Recently found out today's the 80th anniversary of Tom and Jerry, thanks to it trending on Twitter.
Congrats to Ken Jennings.
I've noticed the MeTV airings of The Flintstones now constantly feature "Meet the Flintstones" for the opening and ending sequences, even for earlier episodes. Yet that wasn't the case for the first run on there. Maybe some people really aren't digging "Rise and Shine"?
So do we know yet what happened to those DVDs of The Tick cartoon? It's been over a decade now.
Belated R.I.P. to Art Lozzi, the last living original H-B artist:

The sad news has been passed on to me by Jerry Beck, through an obit in the Los Angeles Times , that the last original artist at the Hanna-B...yowpyowp.blogspot.com
One of the many CDs I got at a local record store yesterday was Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que. I actually saw it the last time I went there, still had it this time.
It was during a half-off sale, so I bought more than usual there.
"All right, you guys, just permit me one sentimental moment here. I have something to say: Christmas. It's not the giving, it's not the getting, it's the loving." - Garfield, A Garfield Christmas
I recently found evidence that Soundac was around as late as 1981. In the Broadcasting & Cable Yearbooks, the studio was listed up to that year. So I guess it didn't shut down the year Colonel Bleep went off the air (which was apparently in '71).
Somehow, I've only fairly recently noticed that the closing version of "Meet the Flintstones" has this line alluding to a certain scene: "Someday, maybe Fred will win the fight. Then that cat will stay out for the night."
To further show how CN ratings aren't as relevant now as they were before-
During the early '10s, it was a special occasion for a premiere to break 3 million. Now, it's special to break 1 million. To put it another way, it's hard now to achieve even what The Problem Solverz got on average, never mind Adventure Time or Regular Show back then.
About the soundtrack to the first Colonel Bleep cartoon supposedly remaining under copyright...I think this is the source for that, so to speak:
