I'll never regard the JBVO "DragonBall Z" episode as a mystery, because I also saw it when it aired back then. :) I very vividly remember Johnny's VA telling the little girl over the phone that he can't play the whole episode, but he can fast-forward through it and commentate over it to make it up to her. That memory still sticks with me over 20 years later.

One of my random vivid childhood memories is of e-mailing JBVO to request a cartoon. I was like 6 so I didn't actually write and send it myself, I dictated it to my mom, who did it for me. I requested a Powerpuff Girls episode that I just described as "the one where Bubbles gets mad" and threw a fit when Jonny didn't play my request the next day. Just one of those things I remember 20+ years later for no good reason lol.

I wonder if part of the reason JBVO has never be rereleased was because of the real kids giving out their names and having their voices on live television and such. That sort of things seems like it would be a legal nightmare, especially with minors.

That would explain why CN wouldn't release it officially, but I'm amazed nobody who was calling in seems to have recorded their episode or segment on VHS or something and uploaded it later.

[@mysticizzm]

I specifically remember Johnny reading the letter, and saying: "Well... There's just one little problem with that. Your DBZ is 30 minutes long, and that's how long my show is (as well as makes mention about it being unfair), but I'll make you a deal." He then offers to play a sped up version of the episode, and asks if that would make the girl happy/suffice (or something to that effect). He then talks over the entire sped up episode as someone with no knowledge of what's going on. Just commenting things like "weird" and "cool". Making light of things. This would have been very late 2000.

[@limcafe1812]

Viva Las Bravo segment was recorded by me back in 2006 and I uploaded it online somewhere in 2007/2008. The block was real, although Johnny Bravo did not have live interaction with the audience. It was all a stock footage of him talking. The block offered three shows to choose from and vote for on the website, then on the following day the winning show got 2 hours of rerun episodes. It was on the Pan-European version of CN that we had in Bulgaria back before we got our own version of the channel in October 2009.

[@delix787]

It really makes me sad Cartoon Network doesn’t want to be amazing! Cartoon Network in the early 2000s had so much care and love to it. all the shows had a relatable aspect to them or a way to escape from the world. Fridays with Tommy and Tara is a great example to come back home and feel like your apart of something. Miguzi as well! Toonami was at it’s best in the early 2000s for me! 🖤💙🖤

[@belletaunde102]

I remember the cartoon fridays block! As a kid that was my adult equivalent to being excited for the weekend. I would switch between that and the nickelodeon portion all the time, it was so much fun

[@Skitdora2010]

With MTV turning into reality tv instead of music videos, when The History channel turned to making Ancient Aliens, and when Animal planet did their mock-documentaries on 'Mermaids The Body Found" and one on fire breathing dragons (dissecting a 'discovered' body and describing the fire making mechanism), one can not expect cartoon network to make cartoons. You are asking to much of them.

[@chrisdrummond380]

The powers that be have an agenda….. they don’t want innocent kids they wanna corrupt them

[@lemeres2478]

I think that they could actually make JBVO work now. Think about it. They hire the voice actor to as a live host. And they give him a V-tuber rig for johnny. Imagine a V-tuber rig with large corporate funding and access to professional animators. Add in support team to man the animations and screen, screen requests, and find the episodes from the catalogue of videos. They could also double dip with twitch streams (although they obviously could have chat live on the television version; maybe only the screened comments for interaction). I get that JBVO isn't going to be the one that breaks this ground, but this got me thinking of the concept of a V-Tuber talkshow on television in general. Like a Stephen Colbert style host making this central to their show. It might event appeal to a network, since the "star of the show" is not entirely a real person- the actor could be switch out with minimal issues while maintaining the face and the brand.

[@RaltsGuardian]

You absolutely need to cover the lost early 2000's-mid 2010's Signing on, Signing off, and mid programing bumpers from Adult Swim, that KZbin is horrendously missing because my goodness I remember so many from my past but there is nowhere that has them all documented

[@danieltudor9504]

Here in the UK We had what was called Big Bravo Live which was our version of JBVO. However it aired sometime during a week school holiday back in 2000 and it aired all week from 8 am - 5pm. People could call Johnny and request a cartoon which would be played for an hour, it also had the chat and competitions. Following that Toon fm(live from Japan) aired during 1 week school holidays from 9-5 I believe October 2001. Cartoon Network did a Japanese themed week with it to coincide with the Premier of Tenchi in Tokyo, it was mostly just competitions and live phone ins. It then was a hour long block as you say around early 2002 on weekday mornings It lasted about a month.

[@pcarter1989]

Here's one for you: I have vague memories of watching the early version of Adult Swim on CN and there was a bizarre show where a guy thought he was ugly, so he got some kind of surgery or something and had his upper body replaced with a marble bust, like from "David" or something. I want to say there was a part where he went to a pool. I think he ended up thinking the results of his surgery (?) was worse than his original self, and/or maybe he was scaring people. Does anyone else remember anything like this? This would have been over 25 years ago, possibly around 25. It creeps into my brain fairly often, and I can't help but wonder if I imagined it.

[@ee1yd]

I’m not joking at all about this, I was feeling super nostalgic some time ago (about a year) and was watching old Cartoon Network commercials/cuts videos on KZbin. I saw exclusively the Johnny vs Johnny type block where the Johnny’s where arguing about “who’s the real Johnny” on one of the videos I was watching. It was pretty far into one of those videos and I had no idea it was lost, so I didn’t think anything of it. It is right here on KZbin, I know for a fact. I remembered it vividly from watching it on Cartoon Network, and I remember vividly watching it again on KZbin about a year ago and feeling a lot of nostalgia from it.

[@KatelynJewel]

As someone who used to watch JBVO regularly as a kid, I can confirm the fact about it never airing reruns is wrong. I do remember seeing some episodes air more than once such as the one with the "Rowdyruff Boys" episode of The Powerpuff Girls. I know there's a specific gag I saw in another episode that I saw more than once where Johnny asked the caller who her favorite PPG was, and guessed Mojo Jojo, then the caller laughed saying "Mojo Jojo isn't a Powerpuff Girl", then after that he randomly guessed the Shmoo. She finally told him Bubbles was her favorite, and he said he would air an episode she was in. I forget what PPG episode aired, I think it was "The Powerpuff Girls' Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever" because it's the only other PPG episode I remember airing on the show.

[@Applepoisoneer]

Ha! I love that the first JBVO call in this video was from Nebraska. It was probably a lot of people's first mention of the state everyone forgets exists. This really was such a cool concept, and it's one that Streaming will never allow to happen again. In regard to Robot Jones, I don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I actually liked the Window's voice a lot more than the Bobby Bloch dub. I adored O Canada! It always aired at like, 4am and felt like a fever dream. But there are some shorts that stuck with me, like "The Cat Came Back" and this short about a family dog safety guide.

Yes and no. While it shares similarities, he’s not exactly solely meant for live broadcasts like some of the earliest vtubers. Most Vtubers are created specifically for a sole entertainer as an alias, even when said character is used to promote a brand. Although the concept of JBVO does predate the overall concept of a vtuber broadcast itself by almost a decade; while most people believe Kizuna Ai was the first Vtuber, that’s not quite true either. The first vtuber software wasn’t released until 2009 (along with the first wave of “virtual” content creators such as Super Sonico).

Fascinating stuff! A lot of these I never knew about until now. Also, I KNEW “Rude Removal” was gonna be in there somewhere.

[@yugioht42]

Rude removal aired once ever. It was immediately removed after complaints by parents. It was brought into syndication as a late night thing and aired once again but it disappeared from airwaves. I currently have no idea where it is now.

[@agustinavasquez275]

Does anybody remember the programming block called "Cartoon Network Fridays" from 2003-2007 to where Tommy and Tara host?

[@Jac735]

No but I remember tge Ines from 98 2000 blocks though I font ghjnk I remember the one your talking bout

[@amoureux6502]

Yesss I was wondering if that would come up in this video, my favorite thing about watching Fridays was that after it they'd just show anime dubs the entire night

[@Amebaby]

the "real johnny" argument bumper is 100% real, i remember seeing it very clearly. they mainly just said "no i'm johnny" but that was about it

[@ToxiChaos]

The fact that one of the clips for JBVO is "Jacob from Nebraska" make me happy

[@Roxona728]

Love this video! It reminded me of something I started searching for but was unable to find. I know it was related to Fusionfall but haven't been able to find it online, it was a strange promo on CN of ufos appearing and sitting over areas menacingly, I remember seeing them as a kid because it struck me as so unusual.

[@hennettbamilton218]

Are the UFOs supposed to be CN Invaded, an event that occurred across 5 shows in 2007 and featured aliens as its hosts?

[@Roxona728]

@@hennettbamilton218 I think that it led to that maybe, I know it featured an alien ship going around but can't find the initial bumper of it to confirm

[@dragon80l]

i never bother to watch symbionic titan cause at the time i thought it was ment to cover for the fact that megas xlr got axed and always saw it as a lesser of that show

[@deadcaliph6414]

I remember back on the Nickelodeon website there were free Fairly Odd Parents 'Webisodes'. I was on there as early as 2005. While the characters, voice and sounds were, as I remember, on point, it animated more like an animatic or a moving comic. Can't seem to find them with a google search.

[@synthesoul]

Robot Jones Windows 98 voice is OP. I remember watching this show when I was a kid and I stopped watching after the redub for obvious reasons. It was ahead of it's time and also very classic in style. This and Time Squad.

[@great1004]

They found Johnny quasar the entire short.. and all it took was for that the voice actor of johnny to post his video of it... the same will happen with Johnny Bravo

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

I completely forgot about Oh Canada until you brought it up here.

[@theneopetyouabandonedin2008]

idk if it's been mentioned but 'the wire' mentioned at 22:37 is literally available on youtube and is considered found hehe

[@suey-suitu]

I 100% remember the Johnny Johnny block, but only really the back and forth between the two. I couldn't tell you which episodes were aired, or really anything else about it.

[@nickmusicman2285]

Wow I forgot all about Toon Heads. The great thing about these lost media cases are the fact that it brings back these old shows/blocks back into my memory.

[@CapnCrimson]

I feel like I need to clear something up about Viva Las Bravo. It wasn't a show, it was more of a programming block. It was aired over the summer holidays when kids were off school, and the whole idea was that the kids who were at home on holiday, would get to pick what was on TV. Johnny didn't talk over the episodes or really contribute much other than appearing as a "host" for this block in between episodes, but even that was very limited. I personally also don't remember him "interacting" with fans or even it trying to be passed off as live, but I could be remembering wrong.

[@qrowing]

That makes a bit more sense. Sounds like Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, but with Johnny Bravo.

[@dangerousd1312]

seeing the toon heads intro gave me the craziest nostalgia. anyone remember late night black and white?

[@lain4821]

Oh my god! JBVO! I loved that show. My mom had a crush on Johnny Bravo and didn’t have cable at her house so I taped it when I was at my dad’s, since he did. Unfortunately I’m certain these are lost since our VHS tapes were taped over with family videos eventually.

[@BeardofBeesPool]

lol the way you described David Dichovny sounded like a google search. its freakin Maulder from X-Files.

[@johnb9242]

Really pleased at the mention of ToonHeads. Always wanted to know what happened to it

[@NewfieMan98]

43:04 you said "lets start at the beginning" and I immediately got an ad that said "this is only the beginning" lmaooo

[@TVsMrNeil]

I believe the website was called TV Tome ("tōm"), as in a large body of scholarly work. Not "TV To Me".

[@cthulhu888]

Its crazy how the late '00s cartoons had such little shelf life or everyone or seems to have been forgotten. Maybe its cuz cn was into live action shows more than traditional animated ones. At least a few like adventure time and regular show managed to get all kinds of success and popularity tho

[@ECDT1089-EtheLamborghini]

I feel you about Sym-Bionic Titan. I hope it comes back some day

[@dycast8561]

I totally remember that double Johnny thing. They were on opposite sides of the screen while they would argue. I wanna say they were inside glass tanks or a line divided them, but I can’t recall the details. That bumper definitely existed though. Didn’t even know it was considered lost.
