- Power Puff Girls! Yes, I love this show!
- Oh my gosh, I love all of these shows.
I love Cartoon Network.
♪ (playful music) ♪
- (FBE) So today we're gonna be covering Cartoon Network.
- Ooh! I love Cartoon Network.
- Oh, I love Cartoon Network.
That's, like, the only channel I watch.
- (FBE) So before we show you some videos,
do you watch Cartoon Network? - No.
I don't watch cartoons.
- I've watched some of it.
I'm not really a TV guy.
- I mostly watch Teen Titans Go or Amazing World of Gumball.
- (FBE) So how long do you think Cartoon Network has been around for?
- Five years?
- I'd say about eight years.
- More than 20 years.
- 25 years.
It was its 25th anniversary this October.
- (FBE) Well, this year marks the 25th anniversary
of Cartoon Network. - Holy cow, that's a long time.
- (FBE) We're gonna show you the theme song
to some of the original Cartoon Network shows
and see what you think. - Okay.
- My brother makes me watch all the old ones
because he's like, "Oh, you have to see
what I used to watch 'cause it was the best."
♪ (Dexter's Laboratory theme) ♪
- I don't think I've ever seen this.
- I really don't know what this is.
- Is she a robber?
- Is this Dexter's Laboratory?
- Okay, this is Dexter's Lab.
- This is Dexter's Laboratory.
- (chuckling)
- Dexter finishes things, but then Dee Dee always
takes them away 'cause she's so tall.
- I watched this show a lot, and I loved it.
- "Dexter's Laboratory."
- I've never seen it.
I've heard that it's the best show in the world.
- It's just kind of old.
- It would be amazing if there was good graphics,
but this does not have good graphics.
- (Johnny Bravo) One, two, three, heh!
- "Johnny Bravo."
- Oh, I know this show.
- This is Johnny Bravo. I love him so much.
- I've seen the guy before, but I've never watched the show.
- (Johnny Bravo) Sassy!
- (chiming in) "Man, I'm pretty."
- (Johnny Bravo grunting aggressively)
- This guy does not know how to do karate.
- If it was better technology, it would probably be on today.
- (Johnny Bravo) Come on!
Hey there, baby.
- This intro's very strange.
- (Johnny Bravo) Yeah, whatever. - It looks pretty old.
- He thinks he's so handsome.
He thinks he's the best person in the world,
but everybody hates him.
- It's definitely '90s.
I don't know how it's '90s, but it just reminds me of that era.
- Mama had a chicken! - Mama had a cow.
- (both) Dad was proud. He didn't care how.
- "Cow and Chicken"?
- What?
- (Cow) Cow. - "Cow and Chicken"?
- (Chicken) Chicken! - (chuckling)
- This is so weird.
- This makes no sense.
I don't get what this is about.
- There's a dancing cow and chicken.
And there's the Devil.
- (Devil cackling)
- (chuckling) It's funny.
- I saw the Devil's butt.
- Pretty weird, but I'm weird. I'd watch it.
- I'm speechless. It's so weird.
- It's the Power Puff Girls.
- Power Puff Girls! Yes, I love this show!
- Oh, I know this one.
This is the Power Puff Girls.
- Power Puff Girls is awesome.
- Isn't Mojo Jojo the meanest one?
♪ (upbeat action music) ♪
- This is the Power Puff Girls that's actually good.
♪ (upbeat action music) ♪ - I love it.
- Those little girls are strong!
- I really like Power Puff Girls.
I've always watched it.
- It's so iconic.
It's what made Cartoon Network pretty big.
- This is one of the first where the girls
were the main superheros and they are the one
fighting the bad guys, and they weren't being rescued
by the men.
♪ (whistling) ♪ - (all) Ed, Edd, n Eddy!
- "Ed, Edd n Eddy."
Okay, I think I've watched this.
- I've seen the characters before in something.
- (laughing) I love this show so much.
- Wow, he can do a handstand with his tongue.
- What the heck?
A person dancing with a green tongue?
- Yeah, I remember my brother watching this.
♪ (jazzy music) ♪ - The characters look really weird.
- (all) Ed, Edd n Eddy.
- Why did you have to break my TV?
- It looks a very strange show.
- I wasn't alive and I still know about these shows,
and to this day, they're still one of the really big channels.
I'm really impressed how Cartoon Network progressed,
and now it's still popular.
- (FBE) Now we're gonna show you the video Cartoon Network made
to celebrate their 25th anniversary. - Okay.
♪ (harpsichord playing) ♪
- He's the evil scientist, and she's the girl.
Oh, the cow and the chicken.
- Oh my gosh! That was my favorite show,
Courage the Cowardly Dog.
♪ (house music) ♪
- And there's the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
- The quality improved.
- They've got a lot better animations.
It's way more clear.
- Cow and chicken.
(gasping) Adventure Time!
- And then the Power Puff Girls.
- I love that, Adventure Time, Power Puff Girls.
Oh, that's Jake. Beast Boy! Jake and Beast Boy dancing.
- Is that guy trying to do The Worm?
- Clarence is really funny. I like that.
Steven Universe, I love Steven Universe!
- Oh my gosh, I love all of these shows.
I love Cartoon Network.
- Yes.
- (K.O.) Yeah! - Yes, there's OK K.O.
- Oh my god, I love this.
The boss dancing with no shirt.
(boss screaming)
- That's cool.
I want to watch that again.
- It had some newer shows in it and then some older shows
to remember.
- I like how they started with the older characters,
and then they came around to the new ones.
- (FBE) So cartoons have been around for a long time on TV.
Do you ever watch older cartoons? - No.
I like more modern ones because it makes more sense
and they have a better storyline.
- Yeah, I love Tom and Jerry.
- I've seen The Flintstones, yeah.
They're kind of funny.
- ♪ The Flintstones, yeah, the Flintstones ♪
♪ (vocalizing) ♪
They're old-school, but they're good at the same time.
- My dad lets us watch all these old timey stuff.
They're not all decorated and more new today.
It's like stuff that was in the olden days.
- Sometimes, I just look them up to see what are some
good old Cartoon Network kind of cartoons.
So I go to watch then, and some of them are really good
and I wish that they were still going on today.
- (FBE) In 25 years, Cartoon Network has had over 50 original cartoons.
Do kids your age still enjoy cartoons from the network's earlier years,
like the ones we've shown you today? - Yeah.
I like them.
Why can't other people like them?
- It's a mix in-between, because a lot of people like
the new shows, but then a lot of people
are like, "Oh yeah, the OG stuff is the best."
- Probably not.
They're probably gonna say, "That's so boring."
If they did a complete reboot of it, and they had
the same looking characters, but in a different style
of the drawing, it might come back.
- I like the Power Puff Girls reboot because it brought something back then
that all the older people know, and now they're making it
so younger people can also see that show
and see how funny it is, and they can also go back
and see the original one.
- If they showed them, I think they'd like them,
but because they're not airing them, kids don't get to see them,
so if you show it to them, they're probably like, "What is this?"
They don't know what it is.
- (FBE) So finally, we hope that Cartoon Network
will still be around in another 25 years.
Do you think you'll still be watching cartoons then?
- Uh, probably not since, you know, I'd be more busy,
but maybe on my free time if there are actually good shows,
I'd probably watch them.
- I don't know because I'm planning to be a sports player
and I'm gonna do a lot of stuff, but I don't know.
I may watch them sometimes.
- Most likely.
I mean, I love cartoons.
They're awesome.
- Probably because I feel like when I'm older,
I'm still gonna be like a child at heart
and still love all these cartoons, so I could see myself watching it.
- I love watching cartoons.
My parents love watching cartoons.
It's like a fun thing to do every once in a while.
When you're done with your homework, you could just go watch cartoons.
- My parents think I might grow out of it,
and they think it's kinda childish, but I'm like, "No, I like it.
I can like it forever if I want to."
