When did this happen?

Semi-Off Topic???

I really hate that whenever they don't shrink the credits, they have to have that guy (Nikki's better) talking over the extra scene at the redits.

Well, I'm glad that they still show a series's normal credits, which Nickelodeon does not (or at least, they do the typed-up credits more often). I usually mute or tune out, when I have to put up with the male announcer. He's gotten better in some areas, but when I heard him say "Cartoon Cartoon" for the first time, it scared the heck out of me, and it sounded too loud and forced (Nikki never did that, and neither did any of the selected CC characters that did the older CC spots).

Funny, last month (this was well after the changes took place), they showed the previous now/then nightly bump with Monroe doing the announcing of what's next (it was probably an accident, but it was nice to see again).

OMG, I HATED Nikki! Her "I'm trying to make it sound like I have a sexy voice but I really don't" voice got on my nerves. Could she have been Denny Siegel posing as one "Nikki" or something?

Who?

I respect your view on the female announcer, but I disagree with how you described her voice. She was trying to be the best announcer she could be, and I thought it was a nice fit for the network. Same goes with the male announce (as far as trying to be a good announcer).

Before that, if I remember correctly, the bumpers were like tidbits of the cartoon inserted in front of multi-colored checkered backgrounds.
These are still my favorite.They never managed to top them. I hate the split screen ''up next'' bumpers, they use them in Europe too.Sometimes ,usually after cartoon shorts (Looney Tunes,T&J) they use the traffic light with the head of the upcoming cartoon character.Here is a screenshot.

In Spain they use a billboard with the cartoon on it.I like these the best.

Over here in the UK, we use that big screen TV thing to show the Next/Later stuff. Pretty much what you are talking about, Josie. And not done before the shows. Thus me being jealous. Very Jealous.

I know when I was in Mexico, they had this for their CN (of course, they had this in the US, too). I don't have a video version of this one.
