I never told you guys this, but I'm actually friends with Geoff Valent (the animation supervisor for CN City). This year is CN City's 20th anniversary and I heard he planned to do something for it! Sometimes we talked about the former preschool block Tickle U. Everyone on YouTube are uploading commercials and interviews with Alice Cahn. Even though Cartoon Network already have Cartoonito, I always dreamed of bringing back the brand aimed for mothers and their newborns.

But knowing that the heads at WB had laid off preschool programming, that's going to be impossible.

True Noggin energy in the prototype here.
 
One thing I liked about Tickle U was how it emphasized fun and entertainment over education. Not that learning is bad, but that was a unique approach to a preschool block.

Some kind of Tickle U commemoration would be nice, but in order for such a thing to happen it would have to have been remembered fondly by a lot of people, and unfortunately Tickle U was little more than a footnote in CN's history.

Whoa this is great. I used to think Tickle U was a failure but this is something we need to see more on kids tv.
 
The fact that a bunch of parents (and grandparents) who criticize what they don’t understand reacted this may meant that TOON was actually right for once, and that this kind of preschool block was what there needs/needed to be more of. I mean, aren’t fun and laughter also a part of education? I hear people throw around words like “curriculum”, but as everybody knows, education is more than just learning “facts and figures”, but then, what do a bunch of outraged moral guardians know about it? Is it any wonder why these groups frequently get parodied in shows like the various “silver age” shows WB made? Was it jealously over them not thinking of it first? Who knows?…

and also, don't get me started on the goanimate/vyond community, they will freak out if goanimate was founded earlier
 
Here's a rant video about Tickle U many years ago! It did not aged well.

Is this a real reupload or some sort of parody by a youtuber?

Reason I ask this is, I just checked the Youtuber who uploaded the video and he seems to have a background in producing low-effort spoofs. And I do know that some Youtubers produced parody rant videos spoofing the YouTube angry cartoon reviewer from this time.

Hmmm, I'm not sure.

It's a pastiche of those rants that were actually made using GoAnimate.
 

Baby Looney Tunes and Krypto the Superdog was going to be part of Tickle U's lineup, but it never happened!

And Norway's unbeaten streak over Brazil continues thanks to their 2-1 victory that led them qualified to the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals (second round, first round is the round of 16) tonight.
Those doing the pyramid burger on YouTube are doing it wrong. Let it cook until it's well done because I've seen people doing it and trying it before spitting it after realising that it's raw.
I have another theory as for why Johnny Bravo is neglected by CN nowadays. Putting aside the basic concept, it's the retools that made the show chaotic.
I might be the only one who cares but why is Scooby Doo basically unavailable everywhere? Netflix has only Mystery Inc and the two James Gunn movies. Tubi has What's New and Where Are You. Meanwhile HBO Max has basically nothing. I've been itching to watch the classic Scooby Doo direct to video movies lately and they're nowhere to be found outside of purchasing them on sites like YouTube.
Last night started watching a new adult animated series, a Netflix original that is basically the succesor to Big Mouth.

What is so great? Despite being a 18+ show, they actually bothered to give it a Romanian dub :ack::eek:
