    Cartoon Network loses its 8pm hour, with more Adult Swim

    I don't regularly watch Cartoon Network anymore, but I check the schedule daily, and I am for one glad CN reclaimed the 8PM hour. One reason is because here in the Midwest, Adult Swim would start at 7:00 Central, meaning that Cartoon Network's target demo would essentially have to watch other...

    I Ain't Doing It!

    Say what you want about Daylight Savings Time being over, I'm waiting another week like most people are. ;) I'm just not looking forward to the period where it gets dark earlier again until the Winter solstice. I don't like to see the sun set at 5:00.

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    Um, wow. That has got to be the worst marching band performance I've ever seen. The instruments are way out of tune, the horn players aren't playing hard enough, the rhythm is very sloppy, the color guards aren't together all the time, and the instruments themselves look old and rusty. The...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Thanks for the advice and support. Yeah, I'm just ashamed that back then, I didn't really think that stuff I taped over could be worth something useful in the future. And I was just a kid back then, so I probably didn't know much better. Heck, in some cases, I probably was watching a recording...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    You know that feeling when you record something onto a VHS tape, and then soon after you record some TV show or home movie over that, and then later you realize you recorded over something useful or special, and can't see it again? Well, I'm feeling very guilty of myself for recording over some...

    Questions about anything

    There's a really cool '80s sound effect which sounds like a rapidly ascending synthesizer. Does anyone know what that sound is called, or how it's made? I've been dying to know what it is or how you make that sound. It's found in The Alphabet Game (when the cookie slices light up), in the theme...

    Why haven't some older videos been re-released?

    I think us, as consumers, should be able to watch the non-DVD titles digitally. I mean, it's Sesame Workshop for crying out loud. They're one of the biggest producers of children's videos and have been since 1985 - surely we should be able to watch the old titles pointed out in the OP on a newer...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    Here's something cool! So obviously, Courage among other cartoons had quite a few bumpers made by Primal Screen during the Powerhouse era, and if you search on YouTube, there are only three that you can see: 1) Courage jumps into the bathtub while Eustace is taking a bath; 2) A monster hand...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I can't get "The Power of Love" out of my head again. Probably due to the fact that something special is tomorrow.

    Sesame Street will continue to air on re-branded Sprout Channel

    Well, that definitely gets a lot of air out of the balloon! :) I just noticed the thread was renamed, so I had to say something positive about the clarification. Still a bummer for PMWS, but it's good that Sesame's staying.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Is there some reason why the channel navigation pane at the top of the channel page (Home/Videos/Channels/Discussion/About) disappeared in Chrome?

    Sesame Street Seasons 30-34

    Heh...maybe that's why you got struck. Those seasons were from 2002-2007, so that's less than ten years, which is fairly recent if it's 2012, before you uploaded them. Actually, I may need to reconsider if I'm ever going to post any Season 30/31 episodes. Sesame Workshop has a few official...

    Sesame Street Seasons 30-34

    I've debated whether or not I should upload any Season 30-31 episodes on YouTube myself. Mostly I just play it safe with my public videos and only share various films/cartoons/Muppet sketches. Although, maybe I should look into sharing some episodes or street scenes. I practically have all the...

    Questions about anything

    I can't think of a device that directly transfers from cassettes, but there's a method that I use to digitalize old cassettes. I use Elgato Video Capture and Sony Sound Forge, and how that works is I have a cassette player connected to the Elgato USB/RCA connector via RCA cable (or just a...

    Why haven't some older videos been re-released?

    Yeah, that's quite a mystery, indeed. I think maybe the execs didn't believe it had enough potential to make it to DVD or be re-released by Sony Wonder. There were some good songs in that video ("Keep the Park Clean for the Pigeons, "Every Bit a' Litter Hurts", etc.), but it's still kind of...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    You know that list of links that appear on the left side when you're looking at a playlist, and how it's divided into sections like "Playlists" and "Subscriptions"? And under the "Subscriptions" category, there's various numbers next to various channels you're subscribed to? Well, what do those...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    That is some seriously wicked stuff. I like how he worked on the Powerpuff Girls' interview segments in the PPG movie. I actually discovered a few of those PH bumpers on another channel a while ago, which I think is that person's original channel...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Did any of you folks ever use Cartoon Orbit back in the day? Man, that feature was so cool....memories of using C-O back in '01—'03 flooded my mind today after I saw this thread. I remember there was one mini-game or something where you could trade tokens with other users and earn points. I...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    Since when did the last frame of a previously watched video show up and fade to black before you watch another video start happening? What's the point of that?

    Courage the Cowardly Dog returning?

    I've seen the first two before....very nice and interesting interviews with him. It's funny that even in 2015, he still won't tell everybody what the "R" in his name really stands for. It definitely ain't Rumplestiltskin. ;)
