For modern Cartoon Network, easily 2014. For obvious reasons that’s already been gone over. For classic Cartoon Network, this will be a controversial answer, but I’ll go with 2006. It wasn’t a great year, but since the topic of this thread is “good year”, 2006 was still good enough. 2006 still...

Shocktober actually occurred in 2003, so it's been 21 years. When I look back this is probably my favorite Halloween special event/block CN ever did for a whole month, and it was being advertised on the CN website as well. Here's a good compilation video of the Shocktober event!

I thought Har Har Tharsdays was creative. Even though at the time I was not in favor of the idea of a Thursdays block. I was all about Fridays or Saturdays because growing up in school as a kid, getting out of school on Fridays meant your homework, tests or quizzes for the week are done with a...

Honestly, the 2004-2010 CN logo is when CN had the most frequent amount of rebrands in a 6 year span. Between 2004-2010, no rebrand lasted more than 2 years… I don’t think, any rebrand had ever hit 2 full years. Compare this to 1992-2004 or 2010-2022, two different 12 year spans, there were...

The following 3 that start with “S”. The rise of social media, smartphones, and streaming. That’s literally it. These outlets have been the biggest contributor to CN’s decline over the last decade or more, even with the success of Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, and Steven Universe...

Wow. I’m in complete shock. I’ve known the CN website since I was 6/7 years old. When it had the big checkerboard blocks above the “.com” symbol. I did a lot of Kids Next Door and Teen Titans games and sweepstakes on there.…. as I previously said, anything can happen now with Warner Bros...

along with what everyone has said about Betty Cohen, she also allowed kids to vote during the World Premiere Toons/What A Cartoon era and the Big Pick Show/Cartoon Cartoon Show era. This allowed kids to decide which shorts would win and become a series. Many of the iconic series like Dexter's...

I know a handful of people on this forum may not be into sports, but I am, so this is really heartbreaking news for me. I grew up watching the NBA since I was a little kid, and my dad used to take me to the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Breakfast to see Ernie Johnson Jr. speak every year who is/was one of...

Oh sorry I didn't answer your question immediately, but Powerpuff Girls and Ben 10 are Cartoon Network's biggest brands pre-2010. They will keep making new versions of PPG and Ben 10 for years to come and they'll probably do the same with Adventure Time honestly, but Adventure Time is still way...

I'm intrigued and amazed by the time and effort you've put into this @Stumpos so far. Keep up the great work. These lineups totally make sense. The crazy part is, some of the series that aired way less than others I might remember way more than series that had loads of reruns. It all came down...

Checkered Past says that any series after Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne (which separated as series in 2003) are not considered as "classics". So there's still an old mindset that only "Cartoon Cartoons" (or any original that premiered between 1996-2003) are classics and nothing else that came...

I know it's kinda out of place posting here a day late. Work will do this to you plus I'm on so many other social media sites chatting with ppl, so I try the best I can. Congratulations on 20 years CN City! I knew this day would come eventually, and here we are! Here's my story on where I was...

I always say that based on the popular narrative. Stuart Snyder can be underrated while Jim Samples can be overrated. However, at the end of the day I believe both presidents were even and very influential for the network in completely different ways. Both of them had many highs and lows. Jim...

Cable was also still very strong in 2009 and streaming apps weren't really a thing back in that time. Digital cable packages and "On Demand" were like at its peak in 2009. Considering that cable was still very much in its prime, 2009 was one of CN's worst years. 2009 was the only year when...

Just want to throw a few cents of mine out there, but I always thought the live-action Fridays narrative in October 2003 was over-hated.... unpopular opinion but I thought What's New Scooby-Doo and Samurai Jack being non-Cartoon Cartoons on Fridays was a good thing, it added variety to the...

Last consistent schedule of original programming, 2014. Last consistent schedule of different genres of shows and various art styles… 2012.

I'm moving my post over to this thread since I think it's more appropriate here. If we just look at the schedule of the network... without worrying about whether it's called CN or AS.... I believe this is one of the better schedules the network has had in years... considering we're in the...

Honestly... I just want to throw this in since this is a Checkered Past thread.... I don't know if they're ever going to air cartoons from the post-Cartoon Cartoons era on there... by this I mean post-2004 debuting CN series. I believe the block is only for super OG's.... like any Cartoon...

Thanks for explaining this. Every time I reacted to old CN commercials & bumpers from the mid 90’s on YouTube I was always confused by the Moxy Show segments.. I always asked myself if this was a “real show”… it felt more like a block to me from what I noticed that hosted old cartoons but maybe...

This is something I noticed as well! Networks like Nickelodeon or Toon Disney back in that time stuck with younger kid oriented ads only, whether it was cereal ads, toys, E rated games and movie ads for kids no further than PG…. but Cartoon Network was always more edgier with its programming...

and Nick has been doing this with SpongeBob SquarePants for nearly a decade longer compared to CN with TTGO or Gumball. Just about everything you've said is spot on. I feel like card trading game franchises or franchises with unique animals that can be marketable as toys... like Pokemon...

The DCAU and Gundam are my top 2 picks.

Wow... I'm in complete lost for words about the Toonami Rewind block. Sailor Moon returns after a 23 year absence. I didn't think I'd see the day. I missed out on Sailor Moon on CN because I started watching CN the same year the anime left apparently. So does this mean there's Toonami Rewind...

I'm with both of you all. While I'm thankful for the impact Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Steven Universe had towards multiple audiences... the CHECK it era had so many other series that should've lasted much longer. Even though Toonami returning and Rick & Morty were adult swim related I...

2006, also known as the YES era, was the beginning of the end for me too, and I was still in CN's main target audience. You know when something inside of you says "something ain't right with this".... you get that eerie feeling, and I knew hard times were along the way, then Re-Animated, TOM 4...

It's always Powerhouse era for me. 2002 and 2003 are the full years of CN I enjoyed the most, and I don't think any other years in its history have come close to this day in overall variety, feel and appeal of the network. 2004 and 2005 are right in 2nd place (good runner ups), the...

When I was a kid, I hated My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Squirrel Boy, and even Robotboy. Those didn't interest me at all, and I'd switch the channel over to Nickelodeon or Toon Disney in a heartbeat whenever those came on, and I was still a kid back then in elementary school when those came out...

I'm going to try to put together reasons I've noticed over the years.... but I'll start here... the 2000s was the first full decade of major change for animation for both TV and cinema in a way we had never seen in animation's entire existence decades prior. Around the turn of the millennium we...

Everyone here has made so many excellent points. I was also one of those pundits as a teenager in the late 00’s and early 10’s, who was immature on YouTube comment sections and said nothing but negative things about Stuart Snyder. Now… I look back, think back, and realized what we had back...

Okay.... so... first of all, I want to say, when I was a kid watching Cartoon Network, whether it was an anime from Japan, a DC comic book cartoon, or an American action cartoon, all of it was enjoyable to me. All the shows were a variety of different art styles even if traditionally the anime...

It's been a long time coming. The last time I posted a fantasy schedule was almost a decade ago. It's hard to believe. This one I spent a few hours putting together. Of course, this will never happen, but I can only imagine, what if you mix it all up in a time where streaming has become more...

I was there in 2002 when AS was only 2 nights a week which meant CN was 24 hours for 5 times a week, and in 2003 when AS became 5 times a week, the only nights CN was 24 hours was Friday nights/Saturday mornings and Saturday nights/Sunday mornings. They knew kids didn't have school the next day...

You know what they say. You don't know what you have or how you have it 'til it's gone. That's how I felt when this site was on its ongoing outage. I'm thankful to comment on this official site again and see you all with your familiar avatars!

I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this thread. What Jetix did to Toon Disney within the blink of an eye (2 years), is what [adult swim] has done to Cartoon Network in a much longer span (20 years). Truth be told, while I didn't see it coming that [adult swim] would eventually take up 13...

I started a thread similar to this almost 8 years ago. Time flies its crazy. Shows that started off on Cartoon Network then moved to adult swim. Full credit goes to "Daikun" for helping me out with this list. I know a lot of these have already been mentioned. But I do want to say real quick...

Toon Disney went thru a huge transformative period in 2004 as well, with the addition of Jetix, the removal of Disney Afternoon shows and changing its logo, and Nickelodeon to a small extent had some changes as well. 2004 was a huge transition year for multiple TV networks & pop culture in many...

Now when I think about it. You're absolutely right! Because Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy started out part of Grim & Evil (shared with Evil Con Carne), and Grim & Evil's pilot was part of CN's Big Pick event in 2000, while Codename: Kids Next Door's pilot was also part of CN's Big Pick Event...

It makes complete sense. For decades it has always been the norm for Cartoon Network to air Warner Bros animated shows, whether it was new episodes of shows owned by Warner Bros, or even if it was acquired from other networks (like Kids WB back in the day).

I'm not sure if this is like that time Hanna-Barbera became defunct & merged with Warner Bros Animation in 2001, or that time when Nickelodeon Studios shutdown in 2005. Is it a combination of both? I'm not 100% sure on this. But either way, from what I'm hearing, if Warner Bros & Cartoon...

Late for this thread but I can bring up some points here, and a lot of valid points have already been brought up above. First of all, I agree that 2003 and 2009 should be separated while 2004-2008 should be its own. The Cartoon Cartoons era was still active for the majority of 2003 anyway, it...
