"I like the cartoon because it's about a scientist who likes science" YOU DON'T SAY. I remember calling the CN question thing with my brother to tell them why we loved Dexters Lab, My brother said "I like Dexters lab because it's funny and because my sister can be like Dee Dee sometimes" and they said "that's great! Thank you for calling Cartoon Network!..." Shame they didn't choose my brothers :P. It's cool finding these vids, thanks for uploading!
I remember watching Toon Heads with my grandfather. I think there was also this program block that aired cartoons from Canada, but I can't remember what it was called.
Yup, all three series, along with "Cow & Chicken", "Courage The Cowardly Dog" and "Mike, Lu & Og" began as shorts for the "World Premiere Toon" (later known as "What A Cartoon!") project. Their pilot episodes were deemed good enough to get their own series years later.
Back in the 90's my cable company had a channel called Sampler Channel and they would sampler new channels like Cartoon Network. My cable company sent letters to customers and they would vote which cable channels they would like my cable add to there cable channel lineup and everyone voted for Cartoon Network
So they used to call it THE Cartoon Network. All this must have happened about 2 years before my family got cable. Good old cable gave me some great experiences and caused a lot problems for me. Anyways it is really creepy on how the logo on 2:32 would become the network's future logo 9 years later.
I can't get over that "Drak" thing, at this point you would think they would've known his name was Brak. But I suppose this may have been pre-cartoon planet. Actually if this was just when they were debuting the Ramones/Bobcat episode that was before Brak's name was ever said on the show. He appeared with Sisto doing the Beavis and Butthead joke in spanish translation but he didn't first say "all hail brak!" untill the "Jerk" epsisode.
I miss Mr. Spim's Cartoon Theater. Gay Purr-ee was my fav that they sue to show! I miss The World Premeire Toons and What A Cartoon Show. WHY CAN'T THEY SHOW GREAT STUFF LIKE THIS AGAIN!!?
Hah! I was wondering who would pick up on that one! I thought I'd be the only one, LOL. Yup, an early version of the logo CN would debut a bit over nine years later.
well didnt CN use to listen to their fans back then.i sure they did.but uhm....i went to the HQ in late july and i talked to the executives and they liked my idea about bringing back some older programming and keeping the good new shows and mix them into the line-up.but honestly i think if they had more old shows they would bring in ratings also.
yes-although for the life of me it sounds like he says "Drak" instead of Brak. I know his name has always been Brak but maybe George Lowe just said it wrong and they didn't think it mattered to fix it. Was the first appearence of Andy as Brak in the Xmas special-? Or the "World prememiere Toon-in" ? Or was it the "Jerk Episode:?
Scooby-Doo clones were Hanna-Barbera's bread-and-butter during the early-to-mid 1970's. I.E Josie & The Pussycats, Funky Phantom, Speed Buggy......of course the main stars (shark, talking dune buggy) were different, but the rest of the cast followed the Fred, Daphne, & Shaggy archetypes.
@DracoAzule Yeah, same show, "Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast", which predates AS by 7+ years (it premiered in 1994). I doubt the newer episodes and re-runs aired on AS were edited, as the show was TV-PG material at best, then and now.
The "classics" are NOT coming back to Cartoon Network. The purpose of all of my videos is to remind everyone of what CN used to be like and to reminisce on it, not attempt to bring back the classics, which is not only unrealistic but a financial disaster, and current-day CN isn't doing so good to begin with. The "classics" had their place and time, they ran their course, and they will NOT bring CN money, which is the main motivator. Try Boomerang, CN's sister station. That's your best bet.
Yeah, these recordings predate "Cartoon Planet". But Brak has had the same name since the original 1960's "Space Ghost" series. I'm assuming you're talking about the "Extreme Close-Up" interstitial ("Take that, Brak!") right?
Announcer: Get ready for the grand opening of the most amazing theater in the world, Mr Spim's Cartoon Theater. Sunday, right after the debut of the new World Premiere Toons. Mr Spim will be opening his doors over there when it's time to show you the Cartoon Network premiere of Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown. It's one of the all-time classic toon movies, starring everyone's favorite blockhead, Charlie Brown! And Snoopy, of course. So be here Opening Night at Mr Spim's Cartoon Theater, Sunday at 7:00pm on the greatest place for cartoons, the Cartoon Network.
Maybe Cartoon Network is trying to aim for this generation, they're moving on. I know that this comment was made at the time Cartoon Network was at it's lowest but things are a LOT better now.
All of the old shows are already en route to Boomerang (which isn't dead yet). Dexter, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, and recently PPG have made the jump. The only old shows still on regular CN are EE&E and Courage, because for some reason they bring in ratings. They may show marathons of older shows on the revived "Super Chunk", but that's about it. As for the bumpers, that's completely up to their creative department. I'm just trying to save you guys the grief:CN don't listen to fans.
@JEFFERoW2 It's like we saw the future...and none of the shows could compare to the past. It's like a childhood we want back...but then, we see Regular Show, and start enjoying it way more.
Hi, I'm trying to get started on this book idea. It's kind of a tribute and combination of noir, nolstalgia, changing times, TV characters, and some personal themes (kind of like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?). It would feature the landscape of Cartoon Network (promos, TV shows, blocks, channels related, like Toonami or Mr. Spim's Cartoon Theatre) as a part of the world described through nearby people (a detective, Joe from Eat at Joe's, a neighbor of Dexter). So, would anyone here actually read it?
I remember the six Degrees of Velma Dinkley. She is my favourite character on Scooby Doo. I will ask one thing though (this is a joke), Why does Alan share clothes with Freddy? That must be unhygenic
Plz...can anyone tell me were i can find the background music from Mr Spim's? I think it's the new world symphony - 4th movement (Dvorak)...But i can't find this music played the way of the clip...Thanks!
every cartoon has a scooby doo related scene. billy called the edds and then in one underfist special chowder is spotted in a float then it seems truffles has glasses just like... velma!
Woah i vaugely remember that box wraping up i wish they would jus show one of those again i mean im 21 istill love cartoons all they show now is american dad and family guy its fucking garbage
i'm just saying they can bring at least some old programming back not all of it.and yeah they should come out with better cartoons and try to do the cartoon cartoon era (1999-2003) all over again.and they should make new bumpers resembling to the older ones.but you dont think at least 4 old shows can comeback on the air.and btw boomerang is ending soon.

It's a rare delight to hear the late Don Messick's voice in Cartoon Network promos.
The 90's rocked when it came to cartoons.
LOL at the testimonials for Dexters Lab.
"Great animation."
But, the show was awesome.
This was back when Cartoon Network was a real network.
"I like the cartoon because it's about a scientist who likes science" YOU DON'T SAY. I remember calling the CN question thing with my brother to tell them why we loved Dexters Lab, My brother said "I like Dexters lab because it's funny and because my sister can be like Dee Dee sometimes" and they said "that's great!

Nostlagia'd like a mofo.... I feel so damn old just being able to remember all of these bumps.
Yup, its the first-ever episode of "Dexter's Laboratory"; the pilot episode, "Changes".
Yup, all three series, along with "Cow & Chicken", "Courage The Cowardly Dog" and "Mike, Lu & Og" began as shorts for the "World Premiere Toon" (later known as "What A Cartoon!") project. Their pilot episodes were deemed good enough to get their own series years later.
*sighs* i wish i was back in the 90s again but the same age as i am now.....
02:32
It's pretty funny that this logo would be used in the future of CN.
It did
I LOL'ed at the kid who thought Dexter's Lab was "dumb"
Looks like the joke was on him because one year later Dexter's Lab became a series!
Back in the 90's my cable company had a channel called Sampler Channel and they would sampler new channels like Cartoon Network.

That announcer's right! A lot of H-B mystery show have characters who look like Shaggy.
@Nesplayer
Good eye!
Yeah, I agree with you. Who would've thought that at 2:32 that logo would become the future logo of Cartoon Network.
I miss Mr. Spim's Cartoon Theater. Gay Purr-ee was my fav that they sue to show! I miss The World Premeire Toons and What A Cartoon Show. WHY CAN'T THEY SHOW GREAT STUFF LIKE THIS AGAIN!!?
This was my childhood.
Thanks for these videos! Also, for the best quality possible, since VHS tapes can't provide larger resolutions than 480p
So Velma was the Sun of Cartoon network? I'm guessing the sun went out and CN that is earth we all knew and loved is gone.
lol that one kid "I didn't like it cause it was dumb! IT WAS STUPID!"
Hah! I was wondering who would pick up on that one! I thought I'd be the only one, LOL.
Yup, an early version of the logo CN would debut a bit over nine years later.
Thanks for uploading all this rare stuff!
2:30 Alternate CN logo
5:59 Powerpuff Girls short
And that's all I remember back then about it.
2:29 a Cartoon Network previu sua futura logo
Who would think that dexter would live up to 2006? I want so bad a time machine to be born that year :(
Good memories.
well didnt CN use to listen to their fans back then.i sure they did.but uhm....i went to the HQ in late july and i talked to the executives and they liked my idea about bringing back some older programming and keeping the good new shows and mix them into the line-up.but honestly i think if they had more old shows they would bring in ratings also.

Damn I used to love that Velma commercial.
I was born five months later...wow

i would. i mean, that'd be better than watching ANY new cartoon nowadays :)
i hope you do publish it
There’s also one where it says something along the lines of “on TNT TBS and Cartoon Network”
I miss Cartoon Network. CN sucks today. Bring Back OldSchool Cartoon Network!!! Or at least put some retro commercials on Boomerang
now i know therevaddres im happy even though i pass by there building a lot
2:31 THEY PREDICTED THE FUTURE
Yeah, these recordings predate "Cartoon Planet".
But Brak has had the same name since the original 1960's "Space Ghost" series. I'm assuming you're talking about the "Extreme Close-Up" interstitial ("Take that, Brak!") right?
can someone remind me which cartoon that giant grey dog is out of? please lol

What was the name of the music playing in the mr spim’s cartoon theater commercial?

But we can revive CN in our own ways, right?

@Shinmeiryu "O' Canada", but that premiered sometime in early 1997.
WHO SOLVES MYSTERIES WITH VELMA.
Does anyone have that one where the guy in the car is driving along and crazy things happen?
DID ANYONE NOTICE ANYTHING AT 2:31.
Fingers crossed, dude.
2 Stupid Dogs :'D
LOL'd quite a bit at the dexter's laboratory "stupid and dumb" kid!

So, would anyone here actually read it?
2:31 2010 logo. lol
wow the mr. spim's promo looks so cool. now that's REAL animation. The CG stuff they always do today is just stale and unimpressive.
I remember that Velma advert!
Ever heard about Velma (the adult series on hbo max)?
Ren´s eyes ? XD
WHO SOLVES MYSTERIES WITH...VELMA!!!
So, which doggy won the Too Stoopid Challenge?
i agree.but do ya think cartoons style from the 90's will rise again.
I remember the six Degrees of Velma Dinkley. She is my favourite character on Scooby Doo. I will ask one thing though (this is a joke), Why does Alan share clothes with Freddy? That must be unhygenic
Fun fact, Zorak actually DID do a guest appearance on an episode of Jabberjaw. Or at least, they used the same model.
This is rare cartoon remind me of the Days of yesterday 🛋️🧸📺🌍💔🤷🏿♂️😿👶
thats bobcat goldwaite on space ghost coast to coast 4:35
