Happy 20th anniversary to CCF!

vicious cycle. no faith in what they make means nothing good gets made means nothing performs well means no faith in what they make

the problem is the switch to digital animation SHOULD have saved the industry billions. everything should have instantly cost a tenth what it used to
but some books got pretty soundly cooked, and execs have been acting like animation is less profitable than ever.

Do you think that streaming changed television? OK Ko is posted on the app more than on tv

Well that's just another in a long line of self-sabotaging decisions similar to what the music industry did earlier. They put the shit out online first and then justify it by saying the TV ratings were bad. No fucking shit.

Always felt weird that they aired Adult Swim right after the block ended. As if kids weren't going to watch Home Movies and Family Guy.

that's why the block always started with those. basic primetime shit watched by families.

So who were the hosts again?

This wasn't the kind of block that had hosts
but they did have a lot of interstitial programming, crossover shorts, fun shit like that. CN was fantastic back then.
poor Clay Croker. still can't believe he's gone.

Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was so fucking amazing as a child.

It's Friday fucking night. You don't have school tomorrow so your parents allow you to stay up late. Motherfucking new episodes of all your favorite tv shows every friday without fail. And on Saturday you wake up in the morning if you didn't pull an alllnighter to watch Fox Kids. God damn what a time it was to be alive.

Fuck these "bomb" formats or whatever they are called

Wasn't there a fat guy? I could have sworn there were things in between episodes, and during breaks, where there were some people.

>remember when Adult Swim started at 11 and wasn't on Fridays or Saturdays.

It's still jarring to me Adult swim starts at 8 now and has sucked up half the airtime.

i think there were those things yeah, but no host introducing things.
not like the Cartoon Planet revival, where brak and zorak hosted reruns of the '99 classics

>Those after school nights of going to my grandparents to watch Dragon Ball and YYH
>Waking up early specifically to watch Zoids
>The Summer afternoons after playing outside I watched EEnE religiously
>Even after CCF, Fridays were still magical to me with premieres
>Sneaking up late to watch AS and the all the shows my parents didn't know about and wouldn't let me watch

>Those days are gone, replaced by endless reruns of garbage and soulless streaming services

It fucking hurts man

Anyone else remember the weekend long marathons they'd do in August? I think they used that a few years to test pilots for potential cartoons. Man, that shit was always fun. Got me through a tough period of childhood too.

I actually taped zoids and watched the recording every day when I woke up

>tfw you're sick from school but all that's on for hours is Tom and Jerry and a Pup Named Scooby Doo

I was too much of a pussy to ask my parents to help me tape it. So I just opted to wake up at dawn to watch it instead.

I was taping shit since I was a wee kid, but then I was lucky enough to often have the kind of tv with a VCR built in: the only kind where scheduled taping ever reliably works.

>Implying Tom and Jerry and a Pup Named Scooby Doo weren't the tits

The only bad show on that schedule is Baby Looney Tunes and maybe(?) Pecola, but I really don't remember that show too well besides it being the same animation team Gregory Horror Show had

yeahh that was a good year for tv but not the best year to be unemployed and watching shit during the day..
thankfully comedy central mostly picked up the slack during those hours, with reruns of SNL, whose line,
and standup specials

See didn't have a VCR in my room, I had a PS2 which could naturally play DVDs and so my parents thought that was enough.

Sorry nostalgiafriend but Tom and Jerry was never good. It's always been bland and repetitive crap riding Looney Tunes' coat-tails.

it's pretty fucking weird how tv-recordable dvd players never came out. I wonder how much they had to bribe the industry not to make those.

They just delayed the inevitable really with the rise of computers and shit.

But...but that means I'm 30...fuck.

but they sort of didn't. in the end they left a niche for people to use capture cards on computers, because the machine _actually made to connect tv to recordable media_ didn't have that ability
yeah.. it's not fun is it? what the fuck happened to us? or rather, why did nothing happen?
