Tomorrow is Cartoon Network's 20th Anniversary! And how are they celebrating it? A special hosted by Brak and Zorak from Space Ghost: Coast to Coast! It's called "Best of CN". Some of the shows I noticed are Chowder, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and others. Thoughts?

Sounds pretty neat, I'd love to catch it but I can't. I'd see it if I had a 2nd TV but it's not worth taking the TV for an hour to see old episodes of stuff. And they added Chowder to Best of CN? I don't mean offense to Chowder, in fact I was sometimes entertained enough by it but in no way would I place it as one of the Network's best. I'm also a bit iffy on Camp Lazlo and maybe My Gym Partner's a Monkey. No problems with Flapjack though, that was pretty original and entertaining in it's own way.
You can't go wrong with Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls and more in the lineup though. Though it's a shame it's only an hour block.

Oh, I was wondering why CN was suddenly bringing those two back... Honestly, I freaking LOVE Zorak, and considering just how much fun Cartoon Network had with Brak back in the day, it figures they'd bring him back for the occasion!
Anyway, classic CN shows, I'll TOTALLY be there!

Screw:
Hell, I would say "screw Foster's" too but at least it's a quality cartoon by Craig McCracken (who did Powerpuff Girls if I recall correctly.) I also heard that Flapjack and Chowder were good, but I never got a chance to watch them -- and face it, they're not classics like Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and Courage.
But whatever, still seems cool that they're at least trying to do something right.

Also, Foster's is awesome, screw all y'all.
But yeah, they're not "classics" or at least hasn't reached the level as "classic" as Dexter or Johnny B.
Camp Lazlo was meh, I LOATH My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Chowder is actually very clever in how satirical it can get, and Flapjack, while weird, I hold a certain fondness for.Mason said:

How about something like Cartoon Cartoon Fridays? Back when that was still the Friday block they had Cartoon characters be the hosts and on commercial time they had dialogue with other cartoon characters. Even ones that weren't from the same show they were. Have Space Ghost talk to them or something.

Re: Happy 20th, Cartoon Network!
I figured as much, since the designs and animation is similar. Too bad the humor isn't exactly up to par... Some of the expressions were, but still, it felt like a lighter, softer version of that show.Lario said:
