Behold, I have come to save ye from the horrible shittiness of today's cartoons!
[QUOTE=iggy650;24472369]Uh, me.
It's the Cartoon Network Nostalgia Thread, not Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network Thread.
But here:
[B]Danny Phantom[/B]
[IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3a/DannyPhantomTitleCard.jpg/200px-DannyPhantomTitleCard.jpg[/IMG]
[I]Danny Phantom was an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon, produced by Billionfold Studios. The show is about a teenage half-ghost boy, who frequently saves his town and the world from ghost attacks, while attempting to keep his ghost half a secret. It is distributed outside the United States by the Canadian animation company, Nelvana.
Danny Phantom was conceived by Butch Hartman as a response to Nickelodeon's then desire for a "boy's action show" during February, 2001. He settled on making the main hero a 14-year-old teenage boy to expand on opportunities his other leading character, Timmy Turner (Fairly Oddparents), cannot express. The original premise was entitled "Danny Phantom and the Specter Detectors" where normal teenager Danny would combat ghosts with superpowered sidekicks.[1] Hartman presented his idea to Nickelodeon executives Albie Hecht and Kevin Kay on October, 2001, selling a pilot for the series on the same night. Kevin Kay claimed they had intentions to say "yes" to anything Hartman would have proposed.[2][3]
Stephen Silver, Bob Boyle, and Shannon Tendall were hired as lead artists. Steve Marmel remained the head writer for the first two seasons. Guy Moon composed the music. Danny Phantom's beginning bass beat was inspired by Queen's "The Invisible Man" and has been rewritten twice to explain the origin of his super powers on request by the executives.[4] Butch Hartman describes the series as a little bit like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ghostbusters.[5]
The first season premiered in April 3, 2004 with twenty episodes[5]. The second aired on June 24, 2005 with another twenty, and the third and final season on October. 9, 2006, airing the sixth episode out of Season Three for promotional purposes.[6]

Thanks.
I liked Cartoon Network a lot as a little kid, but I adored Nickelodeon. Rugrats was an awesome show.
I dunno. Nickelodean was always a bit too kiddy to me. I also remember Disney always just being a gigantic shameless plug for teen music idols who I always hated anyways.
I really loved Cartoon Network over everything else. Cartoon Network had the right mix of Childish and Serious.
Maybe it was all the crap they got past the radar, and maybe it were the shows that took veiwers more seriously
(i.e. Batman and Teen Titans in it's later seasons) that and Toonami's entire lineup.
i used to watch ALL of these shows but some, not so much.
like:
-Hamtaro
-Robot Jones
-Puffy Ami Yumi (lame)
-Sheep in the Big City (i hated this show)

OP forgot Time Squad
A++ thread. Seriously.

Holy crap Time Squad kicked ass. I wouldn't have known who discovered/invented milk if it weren't for that show.
I remember time squad quite well, awesome show. :buddy:
I don't think I ever watched Time Squad.
I remember it being around, but I don't think I ever actually watched it.
Where is Catdog?

Still remember all the lyrics for it.
Actually I think CN is getting back on track. The new scooby doo series is the best thing since the original. It's actually funny.
And the Looney Tunes thing isn't looking so bad. I'm liking it. Let's hope they keep it up.
[editline]11:24PM[/editline]
Although the Shaggy dating Velma thing is weird.
I haven't seen CN in years (past the couple of minutes I mentioned before)
and it's difficult for me to believe they're doing much of anything right at all.
They're doing the same exact thing MTV did.
MTV stopped showing music videos, and Cartoon Network stopped showing cartoons.
I'd be extremely happy if CN is actually getting back on track, but given the past 3 and a half years? I really doubt it.

isn't this a nickelodeon show not cartoon network
[editline]10:38PM[/editline]
still a good cartoon though
Yes, and so was [B]Danny fucking Phantom[/B].
Seriously, I can not be the only one who knows that.

At least iggy acknowledges that it shouldn't be here.
Danny Phantom was okay.

Too bad it didn't air all the episodes and kept going. (The movies get released in theatres in Asia)
YES.
Case Closed was awesome.
It was on Adult Swim for a while too, I think.
[editline]09:01PM[/editline]
Speaking of [AS] and Toonami, I think Cowboy Bebop or Outlaw Star should be up on the list. They [B]did[/B] air on CN, after all.
Can someone find that one show with the black kid who had magic powers over electricity or something? I used to watch that sometimes, it was funny. I think it was called static shock?

yup
i remember the batman crossover episodes
and even in that, they made a teen titans reference
Case Closed was the only anime I ever really cared for...
Sheep in the Big City.... Such a funny show. I want my sheep powered ray gun.
Really?
I'm gonna have to say it?
Alright....
EVIL CON CARNE!!!
Oh and yeah, OP forgot Time Squad which was a fucking awesome show and actually taught me a thing or two in history.
old nickelodean (with rugrats without Suzie) > old cartoon network
with the exception of johnny bravo
MEGAS XLR and Kenshin... Let's also not forget YuYu Hakusho.
Toonami... You died before your time.
"I am the REGIS Mark V. Do not panic. You will all die."

I didn't remember this until my friend sent the top link to me this morning asking me if I remembered this I then went on a search rampage. I think this was the era right before CN died and went to "that young kid and his fail squad".
Just something to share.

god damn Frankie Foster was hottt

Case Closed: Loved the concept. Hated the art.
Also, IT WAS THE FIRST NEW CENTURY IN 100 YEARS!
OBVIOUSLY.
