Don't forget...about the kids in...the old Charlie Brown tv specials. The weird pauses...that make their performances so memorable...are because...the kids could only read so many lines at once...without having to take a brake.

IIRC some of them also couldn't read, so they had to be told what to say off-mic. The only kid voice actor I can think of from an 80s/90s TV show is the one who voiced Slappy's nephew on Animaniacs. I remember they had some making-of special on once and they made a big deal about that and the fact that he came up with the line about Bill Clinton in the theme song (which they changed up later, of course).

When did Nicktoons become "Nick Sports" at night? I don't mind because the entirety of the block seems to be the Speed Racer movie, but odd that Nickelodeon is rebranding all of their channels Nick At Nite style for a couple of hours overnight.

Not sure exactly when it happened but right now its the time of year when failing cable networks tend to get overhauls to make them more viable after upfronts dash their final dreams. Boomerang for instance will now run more recent content, have ads, and produce original programming.

Does Boomerang play those rad music videos CN had back in the day? Because Pain's "Jabberjaw" set the precedent for my musical preferences. http://youtu.be/Vn1pf0Xi3nU

Well that's a shame to hear, although they've been showing recent stuff for a while (as recent as Teen Titans, at least). No idea what they're thinking with the original programming, I'm about as interested in watching Boomerang original programming as I am in watching it on TV Land. Gaunab posted:I wish Boomerang played stuff like Toonheads. I used to enjoy staying up late and learning facts about old cartoons while watching them. I'm pretty sure they used to way back when Boomerang spun off into its own channel. I used to love those shows when all CN had to show was stuff like that, Late Night Black & White, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Speaking of station rebrandings, is there any noticeable difference in The Hub's daytime programming now that it's Discovery Family? Looking at the program guide it's mostly the same poo poo they've always shown. Just that instead of showing 80s / 90s sitcoms in the evenings / overnight it's giant blocks of all the Discovery Network dogshit that nobody wanted to watch on other channels, like Auction Kings and DC Cupcakes.

At this point, the entire channel's seen as a failure. The only reason the schedcule isn't enirely Discovery's leftovers is because the Hasbro shows still get them ratings. Although, obviously not good enough for them to have to rebrand.

Too bad for them nobody cares about any of their other toy lines from the 80s and they canceled all the shows that were remotely good, I guess.

By the end, they thought that toy shows and nostalgia alone would be enough, but the thing is in this day and age you need something more. It's not like the 80s and 90s when there was more reruns and such typically added into programming. Kids programming is already crowded with known names like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, so if you want to compete, you really have to hit the ground running. The Hub kinda started out like that, but by the end, it fizzled. Fun Fact: An executive for the network said when it first started said that they expected to be half the size of Cartoon Network in five years. That's basically 500,000 total viewers. By the end of the network's lifetime, they were barely hitting 100,000.

Okay, that was a little intense. Not the gay couple, that was impressively subtle, but Clarence going into near creeper territory trying to crawl under the stall and making that guy lose his eye.

I like how that guy gets more hosed up every time he shows up. Clarence is weird because every single commercial for it makes me want to hate it, but then I happen to watch it when it comes on and it's really funny.

The thing with Clarence is, if you don't keep in mind at all times that he is a very young, very hyperactive child it's impossible to like him; he doesn't know any better and even with the very best motivations he still manages to do a lot of collateral damage.

The writing process was something along the lines of "Well, Fred Flintsone's a crank, Chicken's a crank, so all we needed was an idiot to play off of them..."

I think "censored" is a bit if an exaggeration. It wasn't super graphic or anything, but it was definitely unambiguous and way more than I expected CN to approve.

Yeah, the second season was only like 5 episodes too  It's kind of funny how the same day I saw that Clarence episode, earlier that day they had a Looney Tunes block where Bugs crossdresses and kisses dudes on the mouth like it ain't no thing. I guess it's okay if they're different species.

Gumball is a great show and Clarence is pretty good when you realize that the energetic always positive main character isn't always proven right and most people treat him like they should.

Clarence is very hit or miss for me. Some times I do find it to be a bit much and find the obnoxiousness of the characters overwhelming (though never really untrue to an actual kid), but when it's good, it's really, really good. I will say the opening theme is god damned amazing.
