[up] To North America? Not sure about that. But for sure, it's going to be in Latin America.

I've seen networks showing their shows in other countries before the USA. I dunno why, they don't have hopes for them?

The shorts are in Latin America. What the teaser is for isn't in Latin America yet.

Sorry for double posting. Tonight at 6:30 pm there's gonna be a new OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes special titled "Crossover Nexus". It's gonna be a crossover featuring K.O., Ben, Raven, and Garnet (among others) teaming up to take on a new villain. Since this is the general thread, I thought I'd bring it up here.

TO be honest, it felt like it was just CN's way of saying "HEY! Remember all those awesome cartoons we used to air, and don't air on Boomerang for some reason? THEY EXISTED!"

This was especially prevalent in that elaborate punch Ben did at the end.

The special was made by the OK K.O. crew as a love letter to the old crossovers CN used to do. I think CN only greenlit the thing.

What old crossovers CN used to do?

Things like CN City, CN Invasion, and "The Grim Adventures Of The KND". Those were all things Ian JQ cited during a podcast, I believe.

I probably missed a few but they referenced shows universally derided (The Problem Solverz and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome), shows oft forgotten (Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? and I.M. Weasel) and even ones that people don't normally count of when prattling off a list of CN shows (Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Show).

Ah, and the Noods featured prominently in some shots too- y'know, the little paint guys from CN bumpers in the mid 2000's.

All that said, I blinked and probably missed the Megas XLR reference wherever they weaseled it in. There had to of been one somewhere in the episode... right?

I saw Ilana from Sym-Bionic Titan, at the least, and her source material can't be aired on TV due to being victim to a tax writeoff.

Okay I watched the episode for myself and, near as far as I can tell, the biggest omissions were The Secret Saturdays and Class of 3000. Beyond those two, pretty much everything that isn't exclusive to another country or made by a different company is covered.

There were two or three statues I didn't recognize at all.

4213: Oh, yes. I remember them well.

I just checked out the episode for myself as well. You can tell that the creative team knew their stuff. They put in references to everything, even things like the Cartoon Cartoon logo, the shorties title card, the "Screwy, ain't it?" slogan...

Pretty much every show was represented, though I didn't catch an outright reference to Cow And Chicken - perhaps Weasel did double duty? Some of the choices for characters shown were interesting - Carl to represent Johnny Bravo, the talking dog for The Powerpuff Girls...

All in all, if you know everything about CN it is extremely rewarding.

You are right. I missed that.

And Jesus Christ. The music when they transform is the Cartoon Cartoon theme! I love it.

EDIT: They were so thorough, incidentally, they even remembered Moxy.

Some quick, obscure notices on my end:

    Miscellaneous Stuff 
  • There is one other foreign Cartoon Network show that hasn't been regularly shown outside of its origin, besides Villainous, that was featured: Jorel's Brother (Cartoon Network Brazil). The little titlur character is standing right beside Carl (Johnny Bravo) at 2:55.
  • Really surprised to see Duncan Xeres Absalom Wu Fan Cassius Draco Draconus Quetzelcoatl Gondwana Mjarl Khan Belloc-Rosenblatt Jr from Firebreather making an appearance as a statue. Okay, so maybe I wanted to milk his name for all its worth.
  • The Cartoon Cartoon Fridays and Tickle U (Cartoon Network's short-lived preschool block) logos are seen at 0:29 as graffiti paint.
    • "Cartoon Planet" and "Har Har Thursdays" logos are seen from 2:35 - 2:38.
  • Strike's Pen-like Weapon has the stock "Generator Rex" morphing sound effect.
  • Ben (oddly) references his "New, New, New, New" promo ad at 2:35 (as Four Arms, no less).
  • As the CN City is being resorted, a heavenly variation of its signature theme song plays in the background.

I missed Moxy, where was he? Also, someone said that Megas XLR characters were in there, I dont remember seeing them though.

[up]Moxy appeared quite a bit (and he's admittedly a bit before my time) as a statue in the initial panning shot, though he's also one of the punching heroes Ben turns into. Kiva (from Megas XLR) is seen as a statue in the earlier panning shot.

And I just noticed that the Powerpuff Girls (in the form of a poster, the talking dog, and Buttercup as one of Ben's forms) are sporting their Classic designs.
