What was your go-to cartoon channel back in your childhood days? When I wasn't at my grandparent's house watching PBS Kids and 4Kids TV, I was a Disney Channel and Nickelodeon girly. I wasn't exactly allowed to watch Cartoon Network as a small child; my parents thought that many of the shows, like Ed, Edd, n Eddy or Courage the Cowardly Dog, were a bit too crude and creepy. I was born at the tail end of Ren and Stimpy's run, so Nickelodeon was in the clear for me. Still, I'd catch a few episodes of The Powerpuff Girls and Camp Lazlo at friend's houses or the dentist's office. I got into Cartoon Network as a preteen, and I credit the channel for being my first foray into the world of anime. If you watched cartoons between the late 1990s and the mid-2000s, scroll down to see if you can name every character reference in the pictures below!

  • I am surprised I got this one! I don't the show ran for very long, but I used to take karate lessons, so I was very much the target audience.
