Its weird knowing Teletoon is gone. And this is coming from a guy who lives in America. (But grew up with Teletoon original series like Johnny Test, Total Drama and 6teen)
Same for me. I was 6 in 2009, that's when I was introduced to CN and Johnny Test... And boy it was my greatest decision yet. And I'm not afraid to say that I'm easily the biggest JT fan in Salem County, New Jersey! But since then, Wayside, Grojband, Camp Lakebottom and Detentionaire have joined my "Canadian Cartoon Union of the Underrated" (All of these weren't given a fair shot in America, and almost every one was panned by critics and casual viewers.) EDIT: WE SHOULD'VE HAD DN ACE.
Think about it.... "Johnny Test" (my personal favorite Canadian toon), "Wayside", "Jimmy Two-shoes", "Detentionaire", "Camp Lakebottom", "What's With Andy?"... they are all better than ANY reality show at ANY given moment. Hello from Southern New Jersey! Canadian Cartoons ROCK!
I freaking love What's With Andy and especially Wayside, they are great. For me Johnny Test is just alright though... I liked it more than I was younger but it's still a good show, just not a great one
I can't believe Teletoon is gone.. Being a Canadian myself, I wasn't a big Teletoon kid. I was more of a YTV kid. but it's still sad to see a channel you've seen multiple times on the channel guide and now it's gone! also, Teletoon didn't just air 2-D cartoons, they also aired a few CGI shows too! the ones I can name off the top of my head are Donkey Kong Country, Bratz, and Casper's Scare School!
I used to love Teletoon as a kid. I remember they had an event called Camp Teletoon (pretty much small games based on Teletoon shows that toured around the country) and my sister and I begged my dad to take us there when it got to Calgary, as we saw the commercials for it all the time.
I'm a Canadian and I'm unhappy with Teletoons closer for a different reason the new Cartoon Network has not fixed Teletoons bad scheduling and the old Cartoon Network up until August had an amazing schedule, it's been replaced with Boomerangs repetitive one. I no longer have a network to watch were there's variety.
@@JudeAbrahamMacenohonestly, odds are slim (as much as I hope too) Noggin never did (nor did they care about the people watching), Playhouse Disney never went back, so it’s slim Teletoon would especially with how much more Cartoon Network is known
I was born in 1992 and grew up with show slike Atomic Betty and that on Teletoon, and the memories of my friends and I hanging out and watching TV will always be precious to me, given that two of those friends (Sean and Harriet) died (Harriet in 2008 and Sean in 2016). We'd watch shows like Atomic Betty afte rschool, then we'd stay up late at night to watch the Detour on Teletoon. Even while we liked shows like Futurama, we also loved how they did their bumpers. Hell, Teletoon had the one cool viewer discretion warning on TV circa 2005-early 2007 during their detour block. This was a time of fun cartons, even if some were dumb, it was a fun kind of dumb where you can forgive the more idiotic cartoons because you can tell that everyone had a blast making them and we had a blast watching them.
When our little town got cable, my first teletoon show was Duckman, it was a black and white episode, and I thought it was going to be a black and white cartoon but it got colour at the end. It was wild for my 8 or 9 year old mind. At the summertime and holiday seasons were great to explore what was on at really late nights, it was all adult content and shorts. Such great shows came and went. I remember Weird Al's Running With Scissors album being advertised on Teletoon with the laughter that was used all time, the Wilhelm scream of laughter soundbite.
Man, I remember the day it was launched. I was three years old and my parents explained to me that my favourite channel was cancelled with my shows transferred to a new channel. When you showed the picture of the countdown, I got so many good memories ( and I was only three back then!). This countdown seemed to take forever when I just wanted to see a cartoon. I am so sad to learn that this channel is now gone! Really a defining part of my childhood.
What's With Andy, What About Mimi, Cybersix, The Ripping Friends, Baskervilles, Roboroach, Bad Dog, The Kids From Room 402 and many many more. Those were the good old days.
Holy cow, that was fantastic. A perfect eulogy for the network whose end marks the conclusion of an era. While I will admit I had a feeling Teletoon was ending sooner or later with its state in its last few years, its still shocking it happened. At the very least, Canada’s animation industry is still doing fine with work animating American shows (The Ghost and Molly McGee, The Loud House, The Proud Family reboot, etc.) and a bit of original content (Total Drama revival, Saving Me, Summer Memories, etc.), even if there is no longer a major form of support in the form of a network that’s very purpose was to support the Canadian animation industry. RIP Teletoon, an icon of Canadian childhoods. Quick nitpick, but Sidekick was not a Teletoon series; that show aired on YTV.
I hope I did the channel at least a little justice on this video. The _Sidekick_ error is on me, I feel like I should've known that! Thank you for watching this one!
I had no idea that Teletoon was gone until today. I remember watching from a VERY early point, just happening to discover another kids channel beyond YTV in 1997. Your knowledge of Canadian television and understanding of its importance from an 'outsider's' perspective is very impressive and I'm very happy this video exists. Not having been a subscriber to TV for a number of years, and barely watching before cutting the cord for good, I did happen to notice the slow death of that channel, as it was a far cry from what it started out as. The presence of Canadian animation/content was influential growing up and I've definitely noticed something missing in that regard, particularly over the past 7-8 years. Wow.. That's too bad. Excellent video though.
Family Channel seems to be the least likely to rebrand, given that Wildbrain (their operators) haven't a license for any major TV brand. The Wildbrain brand was already used to replace Family CHRGD (itself and Family Jr./Telemagino being a response to Wildbrain having lost the Disney license to Corus), however. Corus still has Nickelodeon, which could work against YTV at a later date.
@@evilcrash8683 Not necessarily. What I'm thinking is that YTV will likely adopt Nickelodeon's brand (again, Corus has license to Nickelodeon's brand and already runs a channel named Nickelodeon, even YTV has similar scheduling to the American Nick). As for the currently active Nickelodeon in Canada, it could become Nicktoons as Treehouse seems more likely to adopt Nick Jr's branding.
Well I’m kinda from France and I love our Télétoon + channel (lol I make videos about it) but it kinda sounds strange when I learnt that some télétoon + shows are from you guys and not from our French channel, i will miss Teletoon for sure but it kinda had to end at some point I guess
Broooooo where was the Star Wars the clone wars area and the Bakugan and what’s new scooby doo 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you for making this it brought me so much joy to see all my childhood race by
I love Camp Lakechicken, Atomic Puppet and Dr Dimension Pants. Gretchen is My favorite Camp Lakechicken character. Has anybody watched a tv show called Lucky Fred?
Whenever a new show gets released on Teletoon and YTV it gets cancelled after one or two seasons. I think it has a-lot to do with these channels having the rights to Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and HBO Max shows. This explains why their new shows like Freaktown release their episodes everyday so they can get rid of them fast to focus on their acquired shows.
Same For DN Ace, I'm from the US, and I've seen a few Lyon Smith cartoons (Get Ed and Grojband), but that show was an all time banger (I dig the pseudo Anime character design... especially the "straight out of the late 80s" approach of Ace Ripley.) Unfortunately, this cartoon, among others of that late 2010s period would not come to America either based on interest or financial reasons, both of which I believe is bullcrap.
While I didn't see it all the time, teletoon was nice, I guess. I didn't get to experience it as much as i'd hoped. (I never had cable but saw it on vacations) I had no idea they even aired actual Cartoon Network content, or that they shut down. My favourite canadian cartoon? Peep and the big wide world. Yes, it's for young kids, but It's genuinely funny and charming, not to mention iconic.
Who knew that Americans loved our cartoons so much. I honestly thought we (Canadians) were the only ones watching. And with how much our TV shows get made fun of by Americans; some credit where credit is due is nice! Thanks! (We really did have the best kid shows - and I say that because of Are You Afraid of the Dark not being a cartoon)
Canada sure knows how to put on a good show, especially in kids' TV -- and just because this video is about Teletoon doesn't mean YTV wasn't also holding down the fort for live-action fare just as well... Thank you for watching this video!
does anyone remember a cartoon about 2 secret agent students in high school who fight zombies or something? some sort of goo/gunk that infects people. i'm dying to remember

Spliced honestly
My favorite is peri
Favorite Canadian cartoon is definitely Freaky Stories. Favorite kid's show is Are You Afraid of the Dark.
My favorites are Lucky Fred and Camp Lakechicken.
Spliced and Jimmy-Two Shoes were my favorite ones.
Its weird knowing Teletoon is gone.
And this is coming from a guy who lives in America. (But grew up with Teletoon original series like Johnny Test, Total Drama and 6teen)

Endemol

And I'm bave enough to say it, I even really like Angela Anaconda.
except reality game shows

Corus Entertainment only renamed Teletoon to Cartoon Network that’s all that happened
I used to love Teletoon as a kid. I remember they had an event called Camp Teletoon (pretty much small games based on Teletoon shows that toured around the country) and my sister and I begged my dad to take us there when it got to Calgary, as we saw the commercials for it all the time.

Teletoon didn’t shut down it just got rebranded to Cartoon Network
@@REDKRAKEN18 I know that I said the new Cartoon Network implying that I new about the rebrand we already had a Cartoon Network which became Boomerang
I hope that In 2024 Cartoon Network Canada will be rebranded back to teletoon unreal and that the cartoons of 2000-2019 comes back with reboots.
Now where are we supposed to watch where there is diversity and variety
@@JudeAbrahamMacenohonestly, odds are slim (as much as I hope too) Noggin never did (nor did they care about the people watching), Playhouse Disney never went back, so it’s slim Teletoon would especially with how much more Cartoon Network is known
I’m a Canadian, Teletoon was my Cartoon Network growing up.
I just can’t believe it’s gone
R. I. P. TeleToon 1997-2023
Best memory in all fam.🥺😭
sort of off-topic, but as someone who grew up with CITV & CBBC, I am sad to see those channels disappear, especially CITV
Atomic Puppet was critically underrated.
Even though i was always a YTV Guy, I will miss teletoon.

32 years old, Teletoon, aswell as YTV were def my childhood, sad to see it go.
Wow! It really goes to show that some of the shows that we love the most are from other places. Who knew? Teletoon will be missed.
Damn, I'm so sorry for you Canadians😢
I love watching this every time i go to my dad's house in summer😊
spliced and jimmy two shoes were slept on shows and were both cancelled too early
Thank for for still makin' my childhood, o' friend...Hope both YTV and Family Channel doesn't get the same treatment as well! T-T

This is the end of a era
An Animation History era
Heyo a fellow Rocket Monkeys fan! You made my day when you mentioned that show.
Thankfully I grabbed the Cow and Chicken DVD .. I wasn't fast enough for Jimmy Two Shoes 😭😭😭
YTV may be in danger right now too, they cancelled the zone and let their hosts go
I still miss teletoon
Btw my favorite teletoon show is spliced
Teletoon will be sorely missed 😭😭😭
Well I’m kinda from France and I love our Télétoon + channel (lol I make videos about it) but it kinda sounds strange when I learnt that some télétoon + shows are from you guys and not from our French channel, i will miss Teletoon for sure but it kinda had to end at some point I guess
i have not watched tv in like over a decade but its pretty sad my go to channel as a kid is no longer a thing
Chorus has very much given up on the more expensive option of making original content and has become content with licencing content.
I may not be a Canadian, but I MISS Teletoon.
Broooooo where was the Star Wars the clone wars area and the Bakugan and what’s new scooby doo 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you for making this it brought me so much joy to see all my childhood race by
I grew up on teletoon in Canada
I love Camp Lakechicken, Atomic Puppet and Dr Dimension Pants. Gretchen is My favorite Camp Lakechicken character. Has anybody watched a tv show called Lucky Fred?
In Canada, we still watch Boomerang (formerly CN Canada original) Cartoon Network Canada (Formerly Teletoon) in 2023 last year
Its not the same if it's not Teletoon 😞

I totally agree
I was very upset when Teletoon, i had many great happy memories watching it.
i didn't expect rocket monkeys to get shouted out, lol. i have a huge soft spot for that show.
Same For DN Ace, I'm from the US, and I've seen a few Lyon Smith cartoons (Get Ed and Grojband), but that show was an all time banger (I dig the pseudo Anime character design... especially the "straight out of the late 80s" approach of Ace Ripley.)

great video man feel like canada media given up on original canadian animation
YTV and Teletoon is like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network here in USA
Blimey I had no idea it was closed down......
While I didn't see it all the time, teletoon was nice, I guess. I didn't get to experience it as much as i'd hoped. (I never had cable but saw it on vacations) I had no idea they even aired actual Cartoon Network content, or that they shut down.

Grew up qith teletoon, didnt hear about this
I will miss teletoon
1st Ryerson becomes T.M.U., Family CHRGD becomes Wildbrain TV and now Teletoon becomes Cartoon Network
Imagine if Corus sacrifices YTV for a New Nick Canada and Nick CA 1.0 for Nicktoons
Detentionaire >>>
The most underrated series in TT's run
You need more views and suscribers, good video.
Thank you for watching this video!
Does anyone remember Dragon Ball Z as a very late night launch show when Teletoon first came on the air?
i have a love-hate relationship with rocket monkeys, i kept watching it because it was so stupidly funny
I wish I payed more attention to Teletoon
Can I get a link to Gumball promo?
Is there no more Teletoon on TV?
Teletoon is still available in Quebec as a TV channel
Freak town was my favorite when i was like… 8-10 years old i think?
does anyone remember a cartoon about 2 secret agent students in high school who fight zombies or something? some sort of goo/gunk that infects people. i'm dying to remember
I don't think I've heard of this one, but now I'm kind of up to investigate...
Thank you for watching this video!
Martain Mysteries?
@@benzj it was Grossology. Found it through IMDB just now LOL
@@Ticket2Ride22 it was Grossology. Found it through IMDB just now LOL
All that Corus Entertainment did was rebrand Teletoon to Cartoon Network the channel is still up, but under a new name.
Who remembers action force 😭😭😭
It’s still in Quebec
Farewell teletoon freind 🫡😢
I gro up on cn🇸🇪
End Of A Era of Cartoons in Canada
To be honest, the only show I’ve watched from Teletoon was Johnny Test.
Tell them it's supposed to be a easier learning experiences through cartoon/or real depending the gross level but it's called Apple tree
No need for teachers only once for recording...I paid for it Lions Gate
I hope that YTV ends as well because I hate that Teletoon ended
Not Teletoon.................
Fuk bro teletoon dun died 😢
Toon marty is a ripoff of Kappa Mikey. They even copied Mitsuki’s design.
Chucks choice is a ripoff of Lucky Fred.
