That reminds me, whatever happened to that lovely programming block on CN known as Cartoon Cartoon Fridays?
Same place as the old Saturday Morning bumpers and Nickelodeon bumpers: either lost to the sands of time, or up on YouTube.
I watched Cartoon Cartoon a few times. I mainly watched it for Courage the Dog, because I saw Courage's debut in "Chicken From Outer Space" which was on an episode of... it was probably the "What a Cartoon" show on CN since they were the ones to put Courage on their network, not Nickelodeon (who had the similar "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" show, which led to the creation of the Fairly Oddparents and Chalkzone). I thought it was so cool that I was able to see the pilot for a show and then later see it become its own series. Looks like "What a Cartoon" was also the birth of Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and Powerpuff Girls. Shows that we take for granted on CN now. Wow... imagine a world without Dexter..
Apparently Frederator Studios came up with Oh Yeah! Cartoons, What a Cartoon, and Random! Cartoons.
*checks up on "Adventure Time"* March 10, it's gonna be its own series. Keep an eye out.
When I was a kid there was some Saturday Morning block on some network that would show Super Mario World (or some other Super Mario cartoon), Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and other stuff like maybe the Mega Man cartoon. All I remember is that it opened with various kids stopping whatever they were doing (one was taking a bath, another was maybe reading a book), then scrambling over to the couch. Wish I knew what that thing was called so I could look it up.
I also wish the Nickelodeon website kept its old design where the whole front page was like a cartoon. I think everything made a sound, and clicking the Nick logo would make it change into different shapes. But I guess along with the Nickelodeon fun-house building, those days are over.
