This has been known about for the past few weeks.

Heads up for any K.O. fans who didn't know:

Radicles has a cameo in a recent "Mighty Magiswords" episode "Let's Team Up Because We Aren't Bad Friends".

I confess that after nearly 3 months since the most recent new K.O. episode I had forgotten Radicles' name.

I loved the recent episode with Boxman, Venomous and Fink.

Speaking of that episode, I can't tell for sure whether the end part about Venomous buying back Boxmore for Lord Boxman was happening right then, or if that was just them explaining their plan.

It was happening as he was explaining it.

I hope Boxmans other kids still prefer Darrell as their boss even if they don't say it openly to him.

When the funk did new episodes start? The last one I saw had the gang find out Chip Damage is up to something. How many have I missed? When are they airing?

You can only watch them on-demand right now. There's no airdate for them, and the two episodes scheduled for TV premiers are Crossover Nexus and a Halloween Episode.

It's neat that the Crossover is framed within OK K.O.

Also this stupid villain seemed to take out a chunk of CN's stable of past cartoons.

I thought it was a thing where falling victim to Strike was tied with your show ending, but then Kelsey was one of his victims as well.

The staff probably just went out of their way to include a wide variety of shows from CN's 20+ years history, which meant most of them would be over by now.

EDIT: Speaking of which, I just found out Cartoon Network first started broadcasting October 1st, 1992. So this was somewhat appropriately timed, though less so than a year ago.

I'm pretty sure the villian was voiced by Michael Dorn.

I could tell just from the preview, hence why Dorn was available for I.M. Weasel's cameo.

x3 Yeah pretty much. I mean why else Black Hat, Hedgehog and one of the characters of Victor + Valentino be among the “cancelled” shows when literally those just got start or haven’t aired yet. This was clearly meant to be some kind of milestone event for the network.

Also, OK KO is REALLY doing a lot of crossovers. I mean aside from this and that Captain Planet episode, the show has also crossovered with Mighty Magiswords a couple of months back and apparently with Scooby-Doo if we have to go by the literall appearance of the girls from Ghoul School.

5xI feel sorry for the poor bastard that's going to write the shout-out page after this episode.

At this point I'm expecting the Luna Nova girls to show up.

Simply because of that one-off joke in that Megafootball episode.

As a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo, it’s a distinct chance.

A cartoon version of Ian Jones-Quartey himself cameod in the second OVA.

A detailed post about "Crossover Nexus"'s development history.

Damn, that was really lucky finding that one piece of reference art they needed in an archive of Cartoon Network's website.

Poor Class of 3000. Even when it gets acknowledged it still ends up getting cut.

Never seen an episode of the show, but had to watch such a massive crossover. Yeah, we finally got a cameo from Courage the Cowardly Dog! I've been waiting for that!

A new episode is scheduled... but it's still not the end of the P.O.I.N.T. arc, but apparently a pseudo-Christmas Episode.

Earlier this month I celebrated my 35th birthday by purchasing OK KO Let's Play Heroes from the Nintendo Switch shop. I beat it Friday night after a little more than 10 hours playing time.

I've seen all but one KO episode (I think the one I haven't seen is called "Joe Kuppa"). I loved seeing all the references to the show put in the game. The only recurring character who's not in the game is the mysterious stranger who first helped KO turn into Turbo. The game is set during season 1 so Lord Boxmore is still the main antagonist and Carol is still oblivious to Mr. Gar's crush on her.

I don't find the graphics very appealing but I'm sure Cartoon Network only gave the programmers a shoe string budget and the programmers did what they could. Strangely, the game doesn't use the show's intro but instead used a really bad cover version.

Constantly fighting the same Boxmore robots over and over gets really repetitive but the game tries hard to shake things up now and then. The boss battles are very creative and fun. Some people may be disappointed how easy the game is but I didn't mind.

I watch a fair amount of Cartoon Network but I never saw them advertise this game. I only know OK KO Let's Play Heroes exists because the Switch news feature tells you every weekend what games are new to the shop. That frustrates me as I saw Cartoon Network frequently promote a Steven Universe game for PS 4 and X Box 360 and a Teen Titans Go mobile game.

Has there been any new episodes since the black Friday episode?

Nope, though CN put up some clips from future episodes (one's about the Box More/Venomous merger, another about K.O. getting into Beyblade type of game).

Ian Jones-Quartey and Toby Jones were recently on the What a Cartoon! podcast (a side podcast form Talking Simpsons, which Jones and Jones-Quartey had also been on), talking about "T.K.O.'s House" and "Crossover Nexus". Some interesting stuff, like how Rad was originally planned to be played by Eric Bauza or that Michael Dorn decided to ad-lib a bunch of I.M. Weasel lines they couldn't get in the actual episode.
