Toonami on right now!? Is this an April Fool's troll?

I'm glad people can appreciate this, even only as a one time thing.
For something that was a "joke," it felt pretty special to me. Seeing all those great shows again brought back a lot of great memories, and it was cool everyone on Gaf got to enjoy them together!
Definitely. That was one of the best parts was enjoying it with everyone else around here.

This also speaks to me about a difference in media consumption (i.e. that it's possible for a single person to enable a tonne of 'unauthorised' viewers) that should probably be thought about as well.
What exactly do you mean, Jintor?

Maybe he's talking about that stream link that let everyone who didn't have the channel watch it as well.

Actually helped me out a bit differently since I actually do have the channel, but my TV was stolen and i haven't gotten around to replacing it quite yet.
Watching it on an actual TV would have been ideal for me.

Repeats?
Okay, I think I understand now.
I'm also curious if they did Toonami outside the U.S., because I'm sure they'd have to get extra licenses for the shows and what not, but I feel like once word of mouth spreads, and videos turn up on Youtube, they'll be getting a lot of non-U.S. buzz to go along with the U.S. buzz.

Last I checked, they just play the same 4 or 5 shows over and over until Adult Swim takes over(which does pretty much the same thing). Adventure Time, Johnny Test, Regular Show, etc.
It's not much different than most networks in this regard.

Sure, it was a bunch of perverted, twisted and nonsensical comments, but it along with the Gaf forum really added a ton to the experience for me.
Hope it happens again next year at least.

Anyone have a link handy for all the bumps? Or the whole stream? Fell asleep right before YYH ended.

If Toonami does come back, I am getting cable back the day it does. Toonami was and still is the best cartoon block ever.

They did Toonami in other countries (and I think it still ran in a few until very recently).
Of course, the voice for Tom and the shows were different.
Garbage.

AKA Johnny Test I think they do like an hour or two block of that shit now.
Mornings too. Terrible show.

You can do a lot worse than Johnny Test. CN is a lot better now than their Dark Ages period (roughly 2008-2010, or the IRL era.)

True... still doesn't excuse the show.

Read that as Jonny Quest for a minute and almost lost it.

Sharing the experience is now a very very large part of consuming media. It's really cool.

Flapjack was better than anything CN is airing now.
Yeah, but Johnny Test is one of the dark points of their lineup right now.
Flapjack was pretty good, but Adventure Time is god-tier.
It was glorious.

What? No. Flapjack was pretty much a testbed for Adventure Time/Regular Show anyway- those shows pick up Flapjack's ball and run with it.
Flapjack is good, but AT/RS wouldn't look out-of-place in the golden era.
Except none of those reality shows air anymore. The only live action show on the schedule is Level Up, some weird action adventure show.

Regular Show and Young Justice as well.
they are showing them on fridays. but no these arent the only good shows. they've been having great momentum.

Regular Show is good when I catch it but not good enough for me to seek out. Adventure Time? I just can't.
I haven't seen those yet but if Young Justice is as good as their old DC shows, then it should be pretty good.
Also, they need to bring back Teen Titans.

It isn't a horrible show. I actually think the writing has some pretty bright spots but the style and, well, the show itself kind of don't let you see it. It can be pretty funny at times.

You're all forgetting CN's absolute best show at the moment:
Wish I could say the same about Thundercats... :/
They are, as shorts for DC Nation.

Your loss! It's like candy in animated form.
And I can't believe Johnny Test is still going. KILL IT NOW.
lol no. Unless they'd actually be more faithful to the source material.
Teen Titans was cool maan

Even bringing back newer versions of commercials from my childhood. WS is a cruel cruel company.
Teen Titans was awesome. I hated how they canceled it before we ever got to see why Terra lost her memory!

That was kinda the point. If it had continued they likely wouldn't have explored that at all (heck the movie, Trouble in Tokyo, after the series didn't.)
