Checkered Past is Becoming Stagnant 

They need to rotate new shows to the lineup instead of the usual 4. Here’s one idea… Bring back Cow and Chicken, let it rerun the whole series and then switch it to I am Weasel. Once Weasel is done, go back to Cow and Chicken on the same time slot. Same with Billy and Mandy. Rerun Grim and Evil. Then rerun Billy and Mandy. Then rerun Evil con Carne and then go back to Grim and Evil on the same time slot.

Honestly at this point checkered past should’ve been on Cartoon Network so more shows can appear like Powerpuff girls, codename kids next door, fosters and many more from the 1996-2008 era

The very least the block could do is go back to airing four shows within two hours again. Maybe it can be Dexter, Eds, B&M and Courage from Mondays to Wednesdays, and on Thursdays we have Cow and Chicken, Weasel, Evil Con Carne and Samurai Jack. Or the block should just expand an hour to airing three shows for each hour, and shows like Robot Jones or Johnny Bravo should be added. Also I like the thumbnail.

There's so much more they can do to expand Checkered Past and Toonami Rewind, but they are being wishy washy and doing the bare minimum with them. At the very least, the blocks should be 3-4 hours long and Toonami Rewind shouldn't just be Fridays only.

Here's what I think CN should do: Give Checkered Past to CN so it can have its extra hours back (And then some if possible), that way they can air a lot more of their classics (Like Powerpuff Girls, Foster's, Ben 10, hell even Total Drama if they could). It may not completely bring them back to their former glory, but its a very good start in my opinion. Why they haven't thought of this yet is beyond me.

To be honest I feel like it could make sense that they could add more of the old CN Shows onto the block and add in like 2 more hours worth of that content So that way they can make room for more of that content

People forget that Cartoon Network IS Hanna Barbera(Until one of the 2 Founders Died, & was Renamed Cartoon Network Studios).

I agree with what you have said about Checkered Past in this video except for showing Cartoon Network shows from 2004-2009. 1996-2003 and 2004-2009 Cartoon Network shows are two different periods of the channel’s history. I think Checkered Past should stick with shows from 1996-2003 and the shows from 2004-2009 air on Cartoon Network, preferably Saturdays. I was actually waiting for someone to do a video talking about Checkered Past since Toonami Rewind began. Do not get me wrong, but I do enjoy Ed, Edd, n Eddy and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy but we need more! Thank you for this video!

It’s looks like checkered past is having the same problems as cartoon planet

I wish Cartoon Network and Adult Swim would finally just split up. Cartoon Network can have Checkered Past at night (why they don’t already air old shows, i don’t know) and Adult Swim can expand Toonami and original content. Thankfully, WB is finally putting some effort back into CN with the lineup of new series they announced, but i definitely think they need to add Checkered Past to fill in the time slots that probs would’ve had TTG. I’m not sure if they think kids won’t watch them cuz they’re not new and shiny, but a cartoon is a cartoon. Kids will probably get into them regardless of it’s age and it pays some respect to the series that built CN.

It's Sad that the Only Adult Swim Cartoon International Fans know of is Rick & Morty.

Also toonami rewind should’ve been on Saturdays

I loved having Cow and Chicken on the block, because I really like that show. Really, why make it so limited? Dex and Grim are great, along with the Eds (probably my favorite) and Courage, but my nostalgic past with cartoon network that I want to return to (as the block claims it's doing) are not those so much. I want Mike Lou and Og and Sheep in the Big City, and other less known stuff. Like, keep your big boys on regular 5PM-6:30PM every day, but make the last 30 minutes something different every day.

Unrelated, but MeTV Toons is not gonna be in Detroit on the day it launches. This TV (the channel) shut down, and there are 2 Cozi TV channels.

I forgot that channel honestly

mostly the point about checkered past is catering to the 90s and 2000s part of the fan base. it really depends what shows they get access to. Same could be said for toonami rewind but its not like i expect them to rerun bobobo-bo bo-bobo anytime soon in the nostalgia line up. nostalgia can only take you so far, til you get burned out by it. Also i should mention that counterparts of cartoon network from some countries not necessary have these problems and handles the concept of putting out variety from years on it, better then ours. like cn Japan for example, airing our classic cartoons, new shows, and even their own domestic animes and animation. Unlike our cartoon network which has adult swim or toonami at night, japan cartoon network has "Cartoon Network NITE. i think its clear which country takes art and animation seriously as a general audience/all audience thing. Especially when those countries laws culturally differs.

in my opinon, cartoon network's classic era depends on how much time passed. Its been around 14 years since the last cartoon cartoon was considered "old" which was flapjack which was around 2 years old at the time. Cartoon Network drastically changed during this time over the past 14 years. Actuallly the first cartoon cartoon ever "Dextars Labratory" was 14 in 2010. So I believe that anything the is pre check it 3.0 is classic cn or atleast pre 2012 tbh. Adventure Time premiered during the noods era, So yeah. All of the rennisance is about a decade old and all have ended. So I feel like since how cartoon network has changed, those shows can retire happily. But this is coming from the same guy who thinks flapjack and the cn rennisance were in the same era of shows lol. But yeah what do you think.

idk why tho, how do you fuck up revial blocks

That unfortunately happens

I really want robot Jones to be on checkered past

I like what they show: Cow & Chicken, I.M. Weasel, Ed, Eddn' Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Evil Con Carne, Courage the Cowardly Dog and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Wished they also aired titles like these: Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Time Squad and Codename: Kid's Next Door. They're also great Cartoon-Cartoons of the 90's and early-to-mid 2000's. If Checkered Past aired those four, I'd lose my mind, in a good way.

Checkered past has to add more shows and new bumpers

I wish they would have toonmai from 7-10 after checkered past since it would make sense 😕. I hate the fact they have adult swim so damn.. early with king of hill and bob burgers 🍔 taking up those times.. its just dumb... to me.

I would like it if the shifted CheckPast to CN since those are all CN original shows, but quite frankly i don't see that happening!

It depends on what shows you like. If you really like Billy and Mandy and Ed Edd n Eddy then you are in heaven. I am lucky I do.

To be honest I don’t actually mind toonami rewind on Fridays in my opinion but they need to give checkered past the 7:00pm hour and only give Fox shows a hour they really need to change Thursdays like add time squad sheep in the big city mike lu & og and johnny bravo

Yeah it’s gotten stale quickly

Also, some other updates in my life, I’m going to a museum on Tuesday to see pictures of dead relatives. I also found a glitch with my tv, for some reason, I can only get two Iowa channels. But thankfully I’m getting my “cable” when I turn 14 on July 12th. See, I got a new tv yesterday and I got a Roku player but now my parents have to take my phone away cause I already have a tv, which is why I couldn’t comment at midnight. And I’m honestly fine with MeTV toons having no CN.

You think they would've added in more classic shows by now to get the interest going, but they haven't.

Discovery Family has one CN show airing on their channel so PPG & KND should just air there.

Can you do a video on Boomerang's 2000-2015 and 2015-present ranked like you did in your Cartoon Network video

I say Mondays-Wednesdays should be the 4 shows a day on Thursdays. The 1 show marathon like it did on Fridays was when it first launched. Friday still Toonami Rewind and Saturdays could be the one day Adult Swim starts at 7 again and air some of shows that aren't on Checkered Past like the original PowerPuff Girls, Codename Kids Next Door, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and the original Teen Titans. Samurai Jack would probably just be on Adult Swims regular time slots instead or maybe even Toonami. I dont mind the Fox shows because I like all that are airing but maybe give an hour to each 7 and 7:30 King of the Hill 8 and 8:30 Bob's Burgers 9 and 9:30 Futurama and 10 all they way until mid night American Dad.

"There's Already Too Much FOX Shows Marathoning On Adult Swim" Nick@Nite Marathoning Friends Am I A Joke To You

What needs to happen is not only they need to stop showing the same episodes but they need to expand checkerpast few more hours than what is given to them

Honestly I'm fine where toonami rewind is but checkered past should get an extra day on Saturday because of toonami rewind also they should add more classic cartoon Network cartoons on checkered past like code name kids next door (sorry if I got the name wrong)

Powerpuff Girls. That's it.

3:58 maybe it’s just me, but some things just don’t work globally and most of the stunts on Cartoon Network are pretty much exhibit A

Too be fair, the same about 4-ish or so shows can only carry you so far…

I’d hate it for this to pull a nick gas.

wait, they aired evil con carne?

How to watch MeTV on the Internet?

Fact is cable TV is dying due to the internet age. I have no idea if Cartoon Network will still be around by the end of the 2020's (Watch me be wrong lol) but imo they'd have a better chance of survival splitting from MAX and evolving the Cartoon Network app into its own streaming service. Merging Boomerang into this hypothetical service would help, but Adult Swim would need its own seperate one.

OK I know this is gonna sound weird-ish, but I think the checkered past needs to have its own app like Netflix or Hulu or max

Just wait until Disney takes off all of the Fox Shows on Adult Swim just like they did with Family Guy

If American Dad Moved To FXX Instead Of TBS. Then I'm Pretty Sure Adult Swim Would Marathon Bob's Burgers. Thanks To Disney's Buy Out On Some FOX Shows. And If Disney Buys The Entire FOX Library. Then I'm Pretty Sure Adult Swim Would Air Rick & Morty Or The Boondocks. What's Next Disney Sues CW For Airing Family Guy. I'm Pretty Sure The ABC Affiliates Aired Big Bang Theory At One Point. So Jokes On You Disney.

We'll metv toons air Garfield and friends

They don't even have any new bumpers

Cartoon Network can do whatever they want with their blocks

In needs to add more shows.

Why not have boomerang network show past cartoon network shows? Why have checkered past be a block were the whole point of boomerang is to show past CN and HB show, MeTv toons exist makes no sense noww? Or heck keep and show checkered past on both networks.

This is gonna be a disaster CN going out of business 😢
