5:25 Super Van City was one of my favorite Christmas presents. My parents let me open it Christmas Eve. My grandpa and I put it together and applied the decals. I even got an extra large piece of posterboard, painted mountains, roads and parks and would set the van in the middle of it to make it this huge landscape. Fun times... I could keep myself entertained for hours with just micro machines and legos.
I remember watching Inspector Gadget here after it left Nickelodeon but on here there were too many breaks I remember where Nick took just one but thankfully Gadget returned to Nick in 98 I believe
I miss the Family Channel. I remember watching Masters of the Maze and the Donkey Kong Country cartoon on there. Also, that Super Nintendo commercial has been cemented into my head for over twenty years; it's so iconic!
In case you referring to the "Donkey Kong Country cartoon" usually broadcast by the "channel" when it was usually promoted as the FOX Family Channel, I do not believe it ever had it before then.
and before it was The Family Channel, it was the CBN Cable Network I enjoyed the classics on the network and now, as Marc Summers would say, it's gone to the crapper Pat Robertson got too greedy, IMO
I used to watch FamTV! (hey!) At one time it was also branded FUN TOWN. As far as the Sunsoft Looney Tunes games went, the best ones were Taz-Mania and Bugs Bunny. I just commented on an earlier volume that had the Game Genie Mortal Kombat codes. I got the SNES GG and the MK game for Christmas. The "exclusive" codes were nothing more than a sheet of paper with 4 kinda "meh" codes.
I don't know what "every mario cartoon show" means. Do you mean the later SM3/SMW seasons from NBC? These are from the "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" and as far as I know that's all that they played.
God, the Family Channel was one of the worst networks back in the day, showing just some of the most wretched examples in programming. I am reminded of the classic episode of Rocko's Modern Life "Wacky Deli", where the main characters are angry at each other while trying to make a cartoon, and at one point, one of the characters says "Your cartoons aren't funny enough to be on the Family Channel"!
Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff were legitimately good shows. I can't say the same about the rest of the lineup, but I would have watched Mario back in the day if I had known it was on there.
By the time it was mercifully euthanized in favor of the Fox Family Channel the lineup was pretty much entirely westerns. Sure the relaunch was pretty much a poor attempt at being an American YTV but still it was better than these doldrums (plus it had Pee-Wee's Playhouse).
"The Family Channel" (Originally, CBN) was a decent family cable network, that had at least, some reruns of good shows. "Fox Family" on the other hand, was a whole lot better! That is until Disney ruined them by changing its name to "ABC Family" (which is now "Freeform", a dumb name BTW!) and had nothing but forgettable teen-oriented shows. Although they did had the "Jetix" block, some ABC programming from the 80s and 90s and movies. And of course, they still had CBN with these boring religious programming like "The 700 Club" with that crooked Pat Robertson!
Aside from Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget and the Super Mario Super Show....I'd have to agree. Nickelodeon, Disney Afternoon and Fox Kids was waaaaay better!
8:43 For those who are curious, 'Howard Stevens' isn't a real person, that is actually the show's executive producer and DiC CEO Andy Heyward.
The heathcliff song is lit
th-cam.com/video/JEBqqidotuw/w-d-xo.html Definitely in the top 5 80's cartoon themes

The 90’s were a big decade for me. I began middle and high school, and got my first full time job.
You are the channel that i really dont want to see it get deleted one day.. KEEP THOSE ALIVE!!
this is my favorite youtube channel!
Pretty sure I watch these while being aired live.
So much memories
I remember that Mario All-Stars offer! It's how we got our copy since we got our SNES that Christmas
I used to have that Super Van City
Funny thing is I remember waking up in my 20's hung over and waking up to Babar and contemplating what I was doing with my life lol!
I used to be on a Mario kick in those days, the time of "Mario All-Stars", and I would watch the Mario cartoon show a lot.
I just realized something about that Thin Ice commercial. It sounds a lot like "Wipe Out."
Lol, hey yungkidnf I still got my original nes. And still love playing it...OL SKOOL. 👍😎
These are from December 1993. "Babar: The Movie" aired on Thursday, 12/16/93 at 7:00 PM.
Fam TV! Awww yeah!
Inspector Gadget was the best. I still remember the theme song.
True that!
awesome way to start out the video heh

I was 11 years old....❤️❤️❤️
I swear to god they're ripping off how Nickelodeon promos looked from about 85-93 in some of these.
I remember this era of the Family Channel. They always seemed to have Nickelodeon's hand me downs, as well as shows other networks rejected.
I feel like a kid and I'm 23 years old lol I used to watch the shows when I was 4 and up
Nice pack again :)
Fam TV deserves a kick in the nuts for cutting into Lou Albano's Mario dance like that.
Random animal facts always take precedence at the Family Channel
Typical split-screens, it has never changed!
The Family Channel-before it became Fox Family,then ABC Family then Freeform
Looney Tunes games-only interesting one was Taz-Mania IMO
and before it was The Family Channel, it was the CBN Cable Network
I enjoyed the classics on the network and now, as Marc Summers would say, it's gone to the crapper
Pat Robertson got too greedy, IMO

I can't be the only one surprised Dan Riba (of Batman: The Animated Series) was involved with The Super Mario Bros, can I?
the memories
CROCODILES CAN CLIMB TREES?!
Yesssss
I could be wrong but Did Family Channel show every Mario Cartoon show or only the Super Mario Bros super show?
I don't know what "every mario cartoon show" means. Do you mean the later SM3/SMW seasons from NBC? These are from the "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" and as far as I know that's all that they played.
Yeah you have the Cartoon Network but they major networks in the late 90's just said fuck off to kids.
