Cartoon Network Lost Media - A Compilation of Classic Mysteries

Similar to Nickelodeon, this TV Channel also has several interesting and popular content that has gone missing over the years. Let's rediscover some of the current and solved searches from it.

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.

[@lackedpuppet9022]

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.

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 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.

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! 🖤💙🖤

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@mr.goodboi2780]

I think when Adventure Time and Regular Show became popular CN steered away from action stuff because at the time that's where the money is. In many ways, it's still where the money is.

If all these events had happened post 2010s they would all be digitised as a matter of normality via email, cloud, harddrive etc. and subsequently in more hands. But before 2010 digitising content was expensive and very complex to do. Love this content and extremely well put together.

[@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.

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.

[@volterkeg]

So.. does this make Johnny a Vtuber?🤔

[@GumSkyloard]

Nope, it makes him a TV Show host! A Conan of sorts.

[@LOVE-iv2pw]

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).

[@SaintedPIacebo]

For the chowder plush, have you tried looking up footage from large carnivals from that year and the year after? If they were sold at all im sure that you'd have a better chance seeing one hanging up at a carnival stand than randomly appearing online at this point.

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.

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.

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.

In 2009, I saw a HiHi Puffy AmiYumi clip that I couldn't find anywhere. It featured Ami and Yumi in a giant bowl of ramen that a giant version of Harmony was about to eat. The bowl jumped away and Harmony chased it while saying 'I am number one!' 3-4 times.

Wanna know a topic for lost media I'd like to see you (or someone else) cover? Lost 'bootleg' media. Stuff like Batman Fights Dracula, that one Doraemon Chinese film, the works.

[@theneopetyouabandonedin2008]

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

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

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

[@austria-hungary4981]

9:41 Damn. Robot Jones be fighting a giant head of the German Dictator spitting grades at him.

[@misaldragon1326]

I remember Jonny Jonny... I didn't until now, thanks for unlocking a memory for me.

[@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.

[@derekrobbins3574]

I definitely remember the DBZ JBVO episode. Johnny called it the viewer's favorite episode (despite the request not even mentioning a specific episode) and it was the episode where a cut in half Frieza fires a beam at Goku as Goku aims to leave Namek. Goku then shoots a beam back at Frieza and shouts "YOU FOOL" I know this is just one guy's memory, but I remember this vividly because I was annoyed more people didn't request anime. Would love to rewatch this one day because I remember it being funny.

Nightmare Ned was one of those weird cartoons that was a dream like memory. In particular an episode where Ned went to school naked and cleverly hides behind things and when finally exposed as naked had a yellow smiley face sticker covering him as he ran. He wakes up from his nightmare and passes his dad leaving for work and we find the dad at work, he takes off his coat and finds he actually is naked and it is real life.

[@johnb9242]

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

[@Chaviasmusic]

I never thought I'd ever hear the original dub of Robot Jones again. I was starting to believe it never existed.

[@ToxiChaos]

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

[@pegasusactua2985]

Holy shit i remember watching what happened to robot jones but couldnt recall what the name of the show was. Thank you!

[@hughhephner9588]

Thanks this is a great video

[@ErikNilsen1337]

"Chord" is a musical term. A "cord" is what one would plug into an electrical outlet.

[@purplegurple804]

whoever liked this should go to hell it was like 13 years ago leave him alone

[@stevenjames5874]

Damn dude this felt like it centered around a few cartoons. I wish you would've covered adventure time. Cool vid tho

[@user-jv4ro9yp7u]

I do have a vague childhood memory about the Johnny Bravo vs Johnny Test arguing over who is the real Johnny. If I remember correctly, it was just a very small and quick gag played just before or just after the commercials. Couldn't have been more than one minute. Normally when hearing about these childhood lost media cases none of them bring memories back, but I do have some sort of memory with this one.

[@BMN_Prime]

It’s fun seeing lost media I could discover since I saw some Dutch stuff in there

[@NewfieMan98]

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

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy There, Fellow KZbinrino! I feel like I saw that Chowder Special, or an episode with that concept. Or at least an Adventure Time Special with the concept.

[@chadwickjdillon]

Oh wow wow wow, the vaguest of memories of this show... jbvo Like... an even more insane space ghost coast to coast. How could... how could that even be?

[@midnightmalice5998]

JBVO also had a UK version, I remember him interacting with British kids growing up

[@BeardofBeesPool]

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

[@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
