Title: I say we swap Central America's CN with ours
Post by: Lotos on April 28, 2008, 04:19:24 PM
CN meaning Cartoon Network.  On my cruise, they had Cartoon Network as a channel.  Not North America's Cartoon Network, I assume it was Central America's.

I'm assuming it's Central America's because I was cruising the Caribbean, Cozumel-Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios-Jamaica to be exact.  To further prove this, the commercials advertising the shows had the spoken word in English and at the end of the commercial, it had either the title of the cartoon and the time/day of the week it's on in Spanish or if it was about the station itself, it'd have one of the mottos in Spanish at the end of the commercial.

Anyway, it's like they were ALMOST untouched by poopty programming.  Alright, not almost, but the poop was diluted by all of the good ol' Cartoon Cartoons.  They had the old bumper commerials back when they depicted the networks characters in a city.  These were the shows on the network that I saw:


They did not have Squirrel Boy, Storm Hawks, or Out of Jimmy's Head, and Gym Partner was rarely on.

Time Squad, Dexter's Lab, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Robot Jones, Courage, AND Cow and Chicken?!?

And not a live action show in sight.

They just need Cartoon Cartoon and they are set.

Central America's CN is indeed kickass. I spent 3 years in Costa Rica, and I loved CN over there.

  • Scooby Doo Where Are You?
  • What's New Scooby Doo?
  • Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries
  • Tom and Jerry (COMPLETE with the bumper as well)
  • Dragonball
  • Ben 10
  • Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
  • Pok?mon (still at Battle Forntier I believe, I saw a Dustclops)
  • Codenamed: Kids Next Door
  • Grim Adventures
  • The Life and Times of Juniper Lee
  • Megas XLR
  • Pink Panther
  • The Woody Woodpecker Show

They did not have Squirrel Boy, Storm Hawks, or Out of Jimmy's Head, and Gym Partner was rarely on.


If they keep showing the bold then I would be pleased with a switch.

Wow, the first five is reason enough to love that.

Also...I watched Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi only once.  It was captivating for me.  I'm guessing that was a hint that I have always loved Japan.

It was a really good show.

Planet Tokyo is a pretty awesome song, too, along with the show's intro.

A good taste in TV. You do not have one.

Lol, Canadian laws that require certain amounts of TV to be made in Canada.

They still aired the Pink Panther?  Wow, that hasn't been on in a good 15 years around here.  And half of that list is still poop.  Not to say there aren't a few good classics on there.
