But Chowder and Flapjack could still be considered as classics by some people.


The question of the poll was about the state of Cartoon Network as a WHOLE. Just having two shows (which aren't even a decade old yet) weren't enough to save the channel from the rest of its mediocre programming and mistakes. Back in the Powerhouse (1997-2004) and original City (2004-early 2006) eras there was a balance of at least 5-7 original shows and anime/action shows on Toonami block. The network also had cartoony entertaining blocks and marathons on special occasions that kept you tuned into the channel. Most importantly, the network didn't abandon itself by going against the name CARTOON network by having cartoons only on the channel, unlike what happened in the late 2000's. I understand why you might feel this way, because you didn't get into CN as early as I did, but the facts about CN's history over the years don't change.

I'm assuming NewYorkEagle grew up with Chowder and Flapjack as a kid because he was under 10 during the late 2000s. In that case, I can understand more why he would have grown so attached to both shows as a little kid.

Frankly, I can relate, since there were a lot of cartoons I grew up loving that many other people think were mediocre. I really enjoyed Totally Spies! a bit of Code: Lyoko on Miguzi, and I also really liked CatDog for a short time during second grade, although I had lost interest in the show before I was even over with the school year. My absolute favorite show ever as a kid was Codename: Kids Next Door, which ran for a full six seasons and produced a decent amount of spin-off products, yet never really earned the same level of acclaim as Cartoon Network's Y2K-era shows.

In fact, my username actually originated from my fandom of Codename: Kids Next Door; the "#" was originally "Numbuh" when I registered on Amazon.com back in late 2004, so I was "Numbuh Infinity" throughout the middle of sixth grade (before the show introduced an actual Numbuh Infinity in the last regular episode of the series three years later). I changed the "Numbuh" to a "#" around spring 2005 because I had fully outgrown my childhood by that point and wanted to break away from kid shows as an online soon-to-be teenager. I also thought having a symbol next to my name looked cool, since this was several years before the age of Twitter, although very few people have actually referred to me as "Number Infinity" as originally intended.

Could I just say that I rarely gave a crap whether Cartoon Network had live-action shows or not in the late 2000s? I know that it's mainly CARTOON Network, but it's not like they're forced by law to only show cartoons for the rest of the network's existence. I may sound like Stuart Snyder here, but Cartoon Network wasn't my favorite TV network to grow up with. Sure, I grew up with the City era. But frankly, my era has to go with the Noods. It was creative for its time, and I loved the website when it had that kind of stuff. Hell, I even miss when they had all of those cool features from the pre Check It era.

Even when I was still pretty young in the mid 2000s, I was more into Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, TLC (whenever they show Ready Set Learn), Discovery Kids, and even Cbeebies. I really miss those so much. Whenever I see Cartoon Network in 2005/2006, it would've been on either Boomerang, Krypto The Superdog, or the Scooby Doo cartoons. I just didn't really get the hang of Cartoon Network so much, even if it was STRICTLY made for cartoons. I don't know how should I even react, when people hate the late 2000s Cartoon Network, just because it simply aired live-action stuff. Same with how I don't get whenever I see lots of adults liking Steven Universe, Regular Show, or even Adventure Time for simply being cartoons.

I may be a mid-late 2000s kid, but it's not like I was a true Cartoon Network fan to start with. The only shows that I truly loved were Billy and Mandy, Krypto The Superdog, Chowder, Flapjack, Foster's, Dexter's Lab (although I only watched it on Boomerang), the original Powerpuff Girls, and Ed Edd n Eddy. It's not like I actually grew up with the Powerhouse era, simply because I was only a toddler at the time. Same with the City era, where I was really more into the other channels I've mentioned. Whenever I think about Cartoon Network in the 2000s, I just think of it as the channel that I would rarely watch, aside from Boomerang.

My point is that I find it very ludicrous for myself to be hating on Cartoon Network during the late 2000s, since it seemed very underrated and it was not like that Cartoon Network simply hated their adult fanbase. I mean, they had Adult Swim, but it's not like they're entirely forcing you to like it. You could just simply not watch it, especially with just changing the channel whenever you see it. Especially when I see Mr. Enter, PIEGUYRULZ (despite him saying he kinda likes the Nood era), and a bunch of other ranters that simply despise the Noods era because it had live-action content. News flash, the Check It era ALSO had live-action shows, so it's not like it was a big improvement over the channel. I simply think I just grew out of Cartoon Network when the Check It era was around. End of rant.

Actually, I was 10 during 2009, considering I was born in December of 1999. But yeah, I mostly liked Chowder and Flapjack for what it seems to me. Hell, I even think that they were my favorite shows during the Noods era.

I was also into Codename: KND during the mid-late 2000s, although I didn't watch it that much because:

A) They probably aired the show when I was watching the other kid channels that I mentioned.
B) It wasn't really shown that much during the late 2000s, despite ending in 2008.


In fact, my username actually originated from my fandom of Codename: Kids Next Door; the "#" was originally "Numbuh" when I registered on Amazon.com back in late 2004, so I was "Numbuh Infinity" throughout the middle of sixth grade (before the show introduced an actual Numbuh Infinity in the last regular episode of the series three years later).

That's cool. I thought you were simply "Hashtag Infinity" because of how I see so many hashtags from everywhere nowadays. It actually sucks that everyone now refers the number sign as the hashtag sign. It also seems cool that you were a die-hard KND fan during the early-mid 2000s, since I would've liked you as an online friend if I was born in 1989-1993.

I thought the same thing when I met her in person, but then she told me that it was a pound sign and not the hashtag.

There was only one live-action during the late 00s and that was Out of Jimmy's Head which was on for a year, during the Fall CN era. The rest didn't premiere until 2009 and even then it was a only a few.

I agree! While the PH and City eras are my favorite, the Noods is my 3rd one. Like you said, it was very creative, and top of that it had the longest CN schedule span ever (it was on until 11:00pm until KoTH came on on AS in 2009). The characters were able to take form of the Noods and the shows themselves were actually great.

I was the same way. I actually didn't like Totally Spies and I would change the channel just seeing it, but overtime, I watched it and ended up liking it in the end. As for Code Lyoko, I enjoyed the show as well, but I was never able to finish watching it since I lost cable in 2005.

You can count me in with KND, I really loved that show and would tune in to watch it everyday whenever it came on. In fact, I wanted be one of the operators and kick A like they did. It was awesome! :)

As for your username, how often did people call you Number Infinity before the hashtag was made on Twitter?

I thought the same thing when I met her in person, but then she told me that it was a pound sign and not the hashtag.

Officially, it is supposed to "Number" and not "Pound," but I didn't mind whichever others used to referred to me.

As for your username, how often did people call you Number Infinity before the hashtag was made on Twitter?


Either they called me "Pound Infinity" or just "Infinity," as most people here do. Only rarely did they say it as "Number Infinity," even if they otherwise wrote it with the #.

Ironically, my username was coined by a celebrity after me for a second time last year, when Mariah Carey was promoting her song "Infinity" on social media, thus posting "#Infinity" all over her Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Oh my god, there's finally a person who wasn't born in the late 2000s who genuinely liked the Noods era. Personally, I thought the Noods era was really cool, especially with the programming. And like you said, there was barely any live action shows on the channel, so I don't know why a lot of people would get upset over it.

Yeah, that's probably why I referred you as "Hashtag Infinity" because it sounded like a song that a lot of Millennials would love to post on Twitter.

By reading the comments earlier. I agree with Marquis. Classic CN is 1992-2004.

I think it's 1997-2004. In 1992-1996, it was mostly just a home for old Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 50s and 60s. You had Space Ghost: Coast to Coast in 1994, the What A Cartoon! Show in 1995, and Dexter's Laboratory in 1996, but July 1997 was really when Cartoon Network entered its Golden Age.

Yeah I completely agree. The one thing I hate is when people say that 1992-1996 (especially pre-1995) was part of the golden age yet bash Cartoon Network's silver age from 2004-2006 which had tons of original shows by then despite being low on some classics. I mean, don't get me wrong, some Hanna-Barbera cartoons are watchable, but a lot of them have aged terribly. Cartoon Network didn't really have an identity until summer 1997 when by then, you had Dexter's Lab, Cow & Chicken, Johnny Bravo, and then early Toonami, at least IMO. Classic Cartoon Network to me is also 1992-2004 (I still think the channel died in late 2007/early 2008 though), but honestly the classic Cartoon Network most people reminisce about is the 1997-2004 years, and the peak of that era was from 1999-mid 2003 anyway. 2004-early 2006 may not have been as good but it was still very fun, watchable and a lot better than watching cheap Hanna-Barbera cartoons all day.

and Numbuh Infinity sounds extremely badass  8) never thought of it that way!

We've always been entitled to our own opinions about what type of pop culture we grew up with whether it's for kids or the mainstream/youth. As for Cartoon Network, my definition of a channel dying is when the channel abandons itself, or turn its back for what it was originally created for and loses a lot of variety. Worst of all, they replace something that was really good with something inferior or horrible, trying to rip-off from other stations instead of being themselves. Cartoon Network was at its best when the channel was about the cartoons themselves and they put a lot of afford into all of their blocks, bumpers, commercials, special events, etc. The Nood Era may have been creative (which I wholeheartedly agree with, probably the last great bumpers CN ever had), but in the end, those were just bumpers. Yes bumpers are important too, but the variety good shows, blocks, and scheduling matters more to me.

My favorite cartoons from the Nood Era were Total Drama Island-World Tour, Ben 10: Alien Force,  and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008). I have NOTHING against Chowder or Flapjack, of course those shows weren't my favorite so I didn't watch those, but both were fun cartoons to enjoy if you were a young kid at the time. However, by the time these shows aired, I felt like Cartoon Network abandoned itself for what it was originally created for, and what do I mean. Well, replacing Cartoon Theater with Action Flicks, TOM 4 reducing hours and killing the original Toonami, Cartoon Network Fridays being replaced by Fried Dynamite and Dynamite Action Squad (trying to copy off Nick or Disney Channel), cancelling the Top 5 block (barely any advertisement), turning the Re-Animated movie into a TV series called Out of Jimmy's Head, coming up with CN Real after cancelling Toonami.

Then some more problems I had, like back in January 2009, when PPG came back on CN for the first time in a long time, Powerpuff Girls Rule premiered and had the PPG marathon, but the special was aired on a MONDAY while we were in school!!! The hell is that. At least Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show was aired on Sunday, but why did another country have the special first several months before the U.S. and Canada? Don't get it, and I remember this block during the Nood Era called Johnny Johnny, when Johnny Bravo and Johnny Test would come on back to back, but guess when they aired the block? While we were in school! Yeah, so we don't get to see it. So it's like during the first half of the Stuart Snyder era, they kept advertising the live-action programming like it was the 2nd coming of Jesus, but they barely advertise the PPG special or Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture show.

Now, while I don't think the Nood Era was the worst (that would go to the Fall Era), it's still my 2nd least favorite era of CN. Even most of the YES era of CN was more tolerable than the Nood Era, at least there was still a good variety of original shows remaining on the air (Ed, Edd n Eddy, Foster's Home, Grim Adventures, Codename: KND, and Ben 10) Fridays was still around (despite being severely downgraded), The Cartoon Cartoon Show and Top 5 were still airing, and TOM 3 was still on Toonami all throughout the YES era so I'll take that. Oh, and I didn't forget, yes, there were live-action shows during the CHECK it Era too, but barely advertised as much as it was during the Fall & Nood eras. The only live action shows that premiered during the CHECK it Era were Tower Prep, Level Up, and Incredible Crew, and yes there were CN Real shows that started in 2009 which ran through the early CHECK it years, but I feel like the great accomplishments the CHECK it Era has made with its cartoons have overshadowed the bad, and as the CHECK it Era has gone on, there's been less and less live-action shows and since Incredible Crew ended there has been no more. Anyways, I apologize if I'm being too harsh here. We can agree to disagree. There's been many kids cartoons from when I was 11 and up that I enjoy too.

Oh yeah, I'm with both of you. If you want to know, when the channel began there was no original shows at the time. In fact, the first original show didn't premiere until December 1993 which was called The Moxy Show. Like you both said, there wasn't an identity until the PowerHouse era arrived. Prior to the PH time frame, there were only 4 original shows whIle the rest were Hanna-Barbara, and Toonami hadn't exist yet (It was only there for 4 months during the CB era, so it wouldn't truly count). The first original show I mentioned was really the only CB era show as it spanned from Dec. 1993 to Jan. 2000, so it's not even a PH era show at all. Furthermore, unlike all the other shows that premiered on CN, this was the only one not to have reruns after it ended. Crazy right?

So in reality the CB (Checkerboard) era is truly just the prologue of CN while the PH definitely the Golden Age!

Now, while I don't think the Nood Era was the worst (that would go to the Fall Era), it's still my 2nd least favorite era of CN. Even most of the YES era of CN was more tolerable than the Nood Era, at least there was still a good variety of original shows remaining on the air (Ed, Edd n Eddy, Foster's Home, Grim Adventures, Codename: KND, and Ben 10) Fridays was still around (despite being severely downgraded), The Cartoon Cartoon Show and Top 5 were still airing, and TOM 3 was still on Toonami all throughout the YES era so I'll take that.

Well, I kinda think the Yes era was okay for its time. I remember liking 2007 as my favorite year for Cartoon Network, because that's when they had a lot of cool stuff for their shows. Especially when they aired Billy and Mandy, Foster's, My Gym Partner's A Monkey, Codename: KND, Ed Edd n Eddy, Class of 3000, and Camp Lazlo WAY more than the Nood era. I actually miss those shows more than Chowder and Flapjack for that reason. Even in 2008 and 2009, when it only had Chowder and Flapjack, it kinda sucked and it was probably why I watched Adult Swim at a young age. Even when I do like the Noods era, it may seem like that I just only cared for only two shows at the time. Which is probably why I don't see Cartoon Network as one of my favorite channels alone as a kid.

We've always been entitled to our own opinions about what type of pop culture we grew up with whether it's for kids or the mainstream/youth.

TD:WT premiered during the Check It era, not Noods. That would go to TDI and TDA. As for the PPG special Marathon, how did you and your friends miss it? I had that day off since it was a holiday, so I was able to watch it.

Other than the CN Real block (Which was an awful mistake), the Noods was generally a good era. Absolutely not better than the PH or the City/Yes! eras, but sure better than the Fall era. For one, OoJH had already ended due it being cancelled a few months earlier. It had lots of original shows such as the ones you mentioned, The Secret Saturdays, TDI/TDA, Ben 10: AF, and Batman: BoTB. It definitely had creative bumpers where the cartoon characters were able to take form of the Noods and meet up with each other like they did in the City era. It had a long CN schedule which spanned from 6am to 11pm (it's been getting shorter over the years and has not returned to the longer schedule since then), and the long schedule had a variety of shows and not much repetitiveness like today.

Everything you said about the Top 5 getting cancelled to TOM 4 being the host all took place during the Fall era, so yeah that would definitely be the worst era ever and I'm glad it was on for a year. I unfortunately watched the channel during that time period and it was not the best idea at all. The only reason I did was because the City/Yes era shows were still on and those were the only shows I tuned into besides Johnny Test and Chowder.

I was the same way. I actually didn't like Totally Spies and I would change the channel just seeing it, but overtime, I watched it and ended up liking it in the end. As for Code Lyoko, I enjoyed the show as well, but I was never able to finish watching it since I lost cable in 2005.

Totally Spies grew on me to. Haha


By reading the comments earlier. I agree with Marquis. Classic CN is 1992-2004.


I didn't realize 1992-2004 as a specific era could look so juicily perfect. Haha

Totally Spies grew on me to. Haha
So, I see we all hated the show at first. Yeah, it's took me few months before I began to watch it as a fan ;D :D. How long did it take you to watch finally watch TS, and after that, did you watch it until the end?

Actually, I didn't hate it. I was just confused from its Cartoon Network premier since at first it felt out of place. I recall Totally Spies originally airing on ABC.

Oh, I heard about that and the fact that first premiered back in 2001! I wonder how well the show was doing before it was moved to CN.

It most likely didn't do well. I get the memo that ABC like high quality shows being associated with Disney. I admit that Totally Spies felt a bit mediocre at times.

You mean the ABC Totally Spies right? Oh yeah, I can see it that way. Wait, wasn't that show on Disney's One SatAm on ABC or was it one of the primetime shows?

I'm surprised that I haven't watched Totally Spies, even though it ended in 2014.

Wait, that show ended in 2014? I thought it ended about 10 years ago!!! :o. I haven't seen it since the Miguzi era on CN.

Well, it's just that I wondered if the show ended or not. So, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it said that it ended in 2014.

Damn, that long? I can't believe it was on for 13 years! Did it say what channel it was on after CN?

Well, the sixth season only aired in Europe. So, there wasn't any way to watch it in North America.

Off-topic, but I noticed there's a guy named ZeldaFan20 on the Personality Cafe. His posting style and username seem similar to Ocarinafan96 (an old user here, and a classic CN fan), and I think even his birth date is the same (March 1996?).

Do you guys know if it's the same guy? Perhaps you could ask him.


It is the same guy. I saw his old comments from 2015 before he retired on Personality Cafe, and he probably had the same opinion as ocarinafan96. Although, I don't see him returning to InThe00s.

Ohhhhh. Wait, if the 6th season only aired in Europe, that means they pretty much stretched it out to 2014. I mean, there's no way a season could have lasted that long.

Yes, that's him. He said he's not coming back right now, but I know one day he will return.

Well, I'm not exactly sure. As I said earlier, I wasn't a fan of Totally Spies, since I was too young to watch it back then.

I doubt that he'll return from this board.

You can still watch it though if you have Netflix or go on YouTube.

Oh, he will. I told him once he's ready to return to this board, we'll all give him a great welcome back. For now, at least we have him on personalitycafé. He deactivated every account online when he left the first time.

Oh, I heard about that and the fact that first premiered back in 2001! I wonder how well the show was doing before it was moved to CN.


Yeah, Totally Spies! started off on ABC Family in 2001, then it moved to CN in 2003!

But we're not exactly sure when he's going to return. He may just go on Personality Cafe and talk about random stuff.

Well he already does. Ever since he returned on there, he's been pretty active.

Well yeah. I meant on Personality Cafe, not here.

Did you watch it?


Hell yeah I did!  ;D  Especially from 2003-2006 on Miguzi block or outside of it.

It was candy cartoony bright colors for me as a kid. Badass chicks you'd have a crush on! The show hasn't aged well IMO so I couldn't watch it anymore but it was fun for its time.

Well yeah. I meant on Personality Cafe, not here.
Trust me. He will return here. I already spoke with him. If Toon is back, so will ZeldaFan.

Oh, I know what you mean. Yeah, their suits were bright and the characters were pretty. Oh, and other than Miguzi, what block did it come on CN back in 2003-04? For some reason, I don't remember seeing it until it was on Miguzi and what hasn't aged well on the show?

Totally Spies was just on by itself before Miguzi block existed. I don't remember what time it came on since it's been sooo long, but it had to be during the weekdays though. Here's a clip from mid/late 2003.

I swear I don't remember seeing that block for some reason. I watched CN that whole year and recall the end of CCF, Last Bell, Summer Fridays, the New Fridays block and everything, but not that block all.

UltraGameDog, did you vote already on the classic poll? Which years did you choose?

You guys want me to make classic Nick and classic Disney polls as well?
