Cartoon Network was great in the '90s

Seta 3000

Being a kid and having access to Cartoon Network in the '90s was rad

I got to see the Cartoon Cartoons series

I got to see old Toonami

There were the awesome Cartoon Groovies like Mars Forever and Rollin'

So why do they even gotta do a thing and mess all that up

Adult Swim's gone down the shitter, and I hear tell about a live action show

A live action show?

It's Cartoon fuckin' Network

ShimSham

The really early CN was nothing but awful Hanna Barbera cartoons. Not that Hanna Barbera cartoons are bad (most are great), but they showed some awful ones.

Then they started World Premiere Toons where everyone would vote on the new cartoons and everything was awesome from there out.

No Great Name

I dunno, Venture Bros. is pretty much better than anything on CN in the 90's.

Also all the DCAU

TheySlashThem

do they even still show the DCAU on CN?

I haven't really been paying attention

Zombot

I loved the old CN.
Such variety.

Now it's all Cartoon Cartoons and Toonami.

No Great Name

There's that newfangled "Legion of Super Heroes" but I can't care enough about it to bother to watch.

If I remember right, they mainly showed Speed Racer, Justice League and Scooby-Doo before they got Cartoon Cartoons going

Cartoon Cartoons died a while ago

For some reason Ed, Edd n Eddy only stopped this past May

No Great Name

Also, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Yeah, I remember a ton of Speed Racer and Scooby Doo, and Pound Puppies and Birdman and Spaceghost.

Birdman and Spaceghost are great in their Adult Swim incarnations (yes I know SGCtoC wasn't Adult Swim) but good ness their original cartoons are awful

That's my favorite one

I just watched all of the Groovies, which is why I made this thread, but I didn't feel like listing all of them

Zombot

Old CN used to show Thundercats and Robotech.
I miss both those shows.

Foreverender

Man I loved Cartoon Network

Not that much anymore, there's a few good things

Filler Inc.

I think I love Jabberjaw, then the ed edd and eddy one, and then the josie and the pussy cats one.

Seta 3000

Thundercats was on Toonami

I don't remember seeing Robotech though

They showed Gundam

Zombot

Ed, Edd, and Eddy is my favorite Cartoon Cartoon.

What's up with this new shit of having live action stuff on CN?
I cry bullshit!

Stale

I met an 18 year old that had never seen the flintstones, the jetsons, or any warner bros cartoons.


I cried. a lot.

Oooooooh.

What does this button do?



Also, someone light The Geek beacon, we need him in here.




(Dexters lab was phenomenal)

Filler Inc.

This one was creepy as shit though

Der Waffle Mous

Tim and Eric can go fuck themselves.

But Saul of the Molemen kinda grows on you.

Hunter

Best cartoon ever is "What's Opera Doc" and I'll challenge any man who disagrees to pistols, I say pistols at dawn sir.

Zombot

Dexter's Lab got so much better when they did the new episodes.

slow

Tim & Eric and that Frisky Dingo turd by the old Sealab team may be pretty awful, but Metalocalypse, The Venture Bros. and the upcoming Lucy, Daughter of the Devil more than redeem [as]'s lineup.

Stale

90s shit generally sucked and it's only gotten worse

animaniacs are an awesome exception, past that though?

pure shit

ShimSham

I remember early CN showing Wait til your Father gets home.

I think it was Canadian.

Seta 3000

I remember the 'Go Monkey Go' one being cool, too
