CN UK Interstitial - Carnival (2005)

[spinstadium]

Operation S.A.V.E. was a 3-D Codename: Kids Next Door Shockwave game available for purchase on the Super Cartoon Network United Kingdom website in 2006. It was made by Skive.

The player controlled Numbuh 4, collecting 5 types of water gun weapons to use against Stickybeard and his crew. In order to progress, sweets also had to be collected. According to the KND Wiki, S.A.V.E. had six total levels. The first two levels were once available to play on the site for free. While the free two-level version of the game can still be found around the internet today, the full version is lost media. The majority of the above images were taken from the lead developer Ben Pitt's website, robotduck.com.

“Home to the best & NEWEST cartoons”

Ha! That blurb must have been written in the 2000s and still hadn’t got round to updating it! XD

I kinda wish this channel was still around

Status Post #10922: Back in October 2002, Cartoon Network UK launched a spinoff channel called CNX, which was the closest thing to a UK version of Adult Swim before being rebranded as Toonami UK a year later.

Robot Jones on Cartoon Network UK (2004)

This show only aired briefly on the network, despite airing for at least a year in the US. It's strange because while it took Robot Jones over a year to get to us, similar short-lived shows like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome and Out of Jimmy's Head never aired here.

The entire series is available on HBO Max but only in Latin America for some reason (but thanks to the internet, you can easily find free episodes online if you look hard enough lol).

Happy Sock-O-ween!

People? In MY computer?? It's more likely than you think!

The following is a fanvertisment and is not connected to the show. ****Yet.*** *Also yes, this is the fourth time I'm posting this because TUMBLR WONT LET ME EDIT SPELLING MISTAKES!

ANYWAY,

Once upon a time, back in 1987, Dire Straits put out this music video for “Money for Nothing”, which, as you know, was a song about wanting my MTV. 

The video was made by two guys (Gavin Blair and Ian Pearson) on a very moody computer. After the video went out, these two guys went to a pub:

Ian: “Hey, we should make a whole show like this!”

Gavin: “Dude, making three minutes almost killed us.”

And so it was decided!🎉

The two guys were joined by two other guys (Phil Mitchell and John Grace) and created the Hub, which then became Mainframe Entertainment. They got even more people, and then they all holed up in this hotel.

They were mad lads with a dream: a whole cgi animated show, and they made it happen a whole year before Toy Story!

Behold! ReBoot!

(Yes that fever dream was real)

Now before I get any of this:

Let me lay this down. If you can’t with the animation of the first season because it was CUTTING EDGE IN 1994, you can close your eyes and listen to it. ReBoot wasn’t just a CGI gimmick. The characters are fully developed, the voice actors are peerless, the plot is sharp, and there’s so many easter eggs that you’ll never find them all.

Never

(And yes the episode "Bad Bob" was the actual catalyst for Fury Road. Look it up)

ReBoot is about what life is like in a computer (in the 90s, because it was the 90s) called Mainframe (because of course it is). People are sprites, the guys that look like 1s and 0s are binomes (which represent 1s and 0s). Bad guys are viruses, and the good guy is a Guardian named Bob, who is a certified cinnamon roll.

In the first season the eps are light and self-contained, mainly because there was constant friction between the Mainframe studios and the Board of Standards and Practices.

They still got away with some pretty dark stuff, like Megabyte (virus) making Enzo (the kid) watch his dog get sliced open (dog got away, obviously) , Dot (sprite) have a hallucinatory breakdown, and the fridge horror of realizing the thousands of worm things (nulls) that plunged off a bridge to their death were actually people.

And Hex's (virus

best girl) scary face single-handedly traumatized an entire generation. 🙂

But busting through a window was a no go, because WhAt If tHe cHiLdReN dID iT tOo?

Anyway, halfway through the second season, ABC cut them loose, so they were like, fuck it, we’re going to start going hard. The story shifted from episodic to arcs and things start to get serious.

Third season the show moved to YTV in Canada, which gave no fucks about shielding the innocent children.

So it got DARK

How dark?

The UK refused to show the entire season, so the audience there had to wait until pirated copies made it across the pond to see how it ended.

Also by 1997, the animation was gorgeous. (Best example of third season animation I could think of that didn't have spoilers)

The show was green-lit for a fourth season on Cartoon Network, but halfway through production Warner Bros took over and the same fucking thing happened.

Because Mainframe was halfway done, they decided not to scrap all of it, but knowing they wouldn't be able to finish it correctly, Mainframe stripped anything that would hint at Season Four's true ending, then left what remained on a cliff-hanger of angst.

FOR 22 YEARS

(It's also why the last four eps of season four seem to make no sense)

And so it was.

Other crap happened, the soul left Mainframe, and its animated corpse spat out “The Guardian Code” in 2018. 

But never say die! The year is (almost) 2024, 30 years later. ReBoot shall rise from the dead, because here come the documentary!!

Do you dare see what you’ve been missing?

What the (UK) government doesn’t want you to know?? 

Then come on down to ReBoot!

We got:

Magnificent bastards with sexy voices!

(Tony Jay at his best)

Kickass women who could probably crush your head with their thighs and you’d enjoy it!

Innuendos in a kid's show!

💗 This adorable cinnamon roll!! 💗

Insane third season glow-ups!

YOUR NEW GOD

These guys!

(Gay roller-skating binome is my boi. I named him Jerry)

Nonstop cultural refs (You'll never find them all. Never.)

(There are literally videos dedicated to trying)

So many computer puns!

Body Horror!

Existential Crisis!

HAVE I MENTIONED YOUR NEW GOD?

This is it, folks! The real thing, the gem hidden in the moose-filled forests of Canadia!🌲🌲🌲

Take a trip inside a mid-90’s computer!

See the World Wide Web! (omg):

Witness the original purple Gamecubes that randomly fall from the sky when the owner of the computer (OUR GOOD LORD THE USER) wants to play a game. If it lands on people and they lose, they dissolve into mindless energy leeches, fated to tormented by their former bretheren for all of eternity.

Just like in real life! 🙃

So watch the eps! They on YouTube!

I think they're on Pluto, Hulu, Sling, and Tubi too! Also DVDs for people who have the patience to wait for them!

WATCH! BELIEVE! SUFFER THE SOUL-CRUSHING RAGE OF THE SEASON 4 CLIFF-HANGER!* (come on, its fun!)*

HYPE THE DOC!

The more people hype, the better the chances of actually getting it finished.

NOW SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE!

And now I will leave you with this screenshot from the ep "Painted Windows", where dicks can clearly be seen drawn upon the wall behind the fleeing anthropomorphized television.

(PS: If you heard the clown pic at the top of the page in your head, you're welcome)

The Cartoon Network UK Weekday Schedule for 25th - 29th March 2010 (I think).

The main difference between this and March of the previous year are the absence of KND, Billy & Mandy, Gadget Boy and World of Quest. The latter was likely moved to CN Too, while the former two were restricted to Cartoon Cartoon slots. Gadget Boy was finally banished from the network and replaced with a nicer variety of European cartoons. That's another thing. You see a lot more of those being aired both at night and during the day (primarily between 11am and 3pm). Still nice seeing Ed Edd n Eddy get a few slots, despite already finishing it's run.

As for the new stuff, you have a lot more action oriented content here, although Bakugan and Batman weren't present that week for whatever reason. Clone Wars had been reduced to a single primetime slot, while Secret Saturdays (soon to be gone forever) had two slots. Alien Force had 3 slots throughout the day, while the original had double the amount. Makes sense when you realise how huge these shows were at the time. Chowder gets three times the amount of slots as Flapjack, as usual for the UK feed. They always favoured Chowder for some reason. New show Hero 108 had at least ONE primetime slot, though not for long thanks to the rotating nature of these schedules.

Overall, it's a solid schedule with some nice variety. Nothing worth complaining here ig.
