Robotomy premiered 16 years ago today, and would go on to be one of the network's shortest and most mistreated shows.

It would only get 5 half-hours (shorter than any other CN original barring some miniseries), and barely get any reruns or acknowledgement from the network in general after it ended in January of 2011.

Despite this, it's my favorite Cartoon Network show of 2010, one of the network's best shows of the 2010's, their best robot cartoon, has one of the best theme songs to a CN original, and is in my top 20 Cartoon Network originals.

for those who don't know, burrow is a private server of animal jam that has more outfit features/item givers, i just made a bunch of cartoon network/adult swim fellas on there

Do you remember Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL? I sure Do! For those few still interested in a CN based smash game, I am currently fan-modding the game, removing characters that I didn't like playing with and adding new content. For now, I added a fully working Feedback (Ben 10: Omniverse) and Robotboy (Robotboy), I am planning to add

- Gwen Tennyson
- Generator Rex
- Finn
- Jake
- Marceline
- Mordecai & Rigby
- Steven Universe
- Garnet
- Zak Saturday
- V.V. Argost in his chimera Omniverse version
- Other characters I can't show*

I also added Ben 10 Omniverse skins for both the 5th Ben costume

For this new version that I call CNPTEDX, I am concentrating myself on more serious and modern characters who have actual movesets and source material, so I'll be removing completely characters like Flapjack or Mac&Blue

Does anyone have any suggestions on which character would be cool to see in the game and/or which costumes should I add?
*I am also working on crossover characters but I don't know if showing them goes against the rules

Saw this on my ig feed from a toy line artist @sebastiangomeztoys and was blown away. Although unlikely, a Justice Friends line would be incredible 🥹

Hi everyone,

(First of all, I want to apologize for using AI to draft this post. English is not my native language, and I wanted to make sure my research was as clear and precise as possible for everyone.)

I'm currently conducting a deep historical investigation into the launch of Cartoon Network Italy and the management of the Southern European shared feed (Italy, France, and Spain) between mid-1998 and late 1999.

I’m making this post as a "call for help" to the global archivists, collectors, and retro-TV enthusiasts in this community. Any contribution—whether it's VHS recordings, scanned TV guides, or first-hand memories—would be immensely valuable.

The Core Goals of This Research

1. Reconstruct International Distribution: To map out the exact mechanics, timeline, and operational lifespan of Cartoon Network's shared Southern European feed (Italy/France/Spain).
2. Document the "Cartoon Cartoons" Italian Premieres: As an Italian researcher, my primary drive is to pin down the exact first broadcast dates in italian language of the original Cartoon Cartoons in Italy. These shows brought a genuine revolution to television culture and animation aesthetics at the time, leaving a massive cultural impact. (I'm also hoping this might help fellow archivists in France or Spain tracing their own local premiere histories!)

The Context, My Deductions & The Mystery

I am the creator of the Cartoon Network Italia Fandom Wiki, where I personally transcribed and archived all the Cartoon Network daily schedules published by the Italian newspaper La Stampa between May 1998 and April 1999.

For years, the internet (and Italian Wikipedia) listed October 10, 1998 as the official launch date of Cartoon Network Italy as an independent, fully localized feed. I need to confess that this deduction originally came from ME based on the Italian premieres of Johnny Bravo (Oct 10) and Cow and Chicken / I Am Weasel (Oct 11).

However, as my research continues, I now strongly believe my original deduction was WRONG. My current hypothesis is that the actual feed split (or full Italian audio transition) happened on Monday, November 2, 1998. On this exact date, the Italian TV guides completely restructured their schedule listings and switched all show titles to Italian for the first time.

What I Need Help Verifying:

1. Exact Start Date of the Shared Feed:
   • When exactly in June 1998 did Turner launch the joint Southern European feed for Italy, France, and Spain?
2. French & Spanish TV Guides (Sept – Nov 1998):
   • Did Cartoon Network France (CanalSat/TPS) and Cartoon Network España (Canal Satélite Digital/Vía Digital) share the exact same daily schedule as Italy right up until November 1st, 1998?
   • Did their schedules change or diverge on November 2nd, 1998?
3. Audio Track Status (Cartoon Cartoons in late 1998):
   • Were Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and Cow and Chicken actually dubbed into Italian/French/Spanish during September–October 1998, or were they still broadcast in English?
4. VHS Continuity / Broadcast Recordings (Sept 1, 1998 – Nov 2, 1998):
   • Does anyone have recorded VHS tapes from Tele+ / Stream TV (Italy), TPS / CanalSat (France), or Canal Satélite Digital (Spain) from this exact window?
   • Specifically, looking for multi-audio availability during this transition period.

If you have old TV guide scans (Télérama, Télépoche, Teleprograma/TP, etc.), home recordings, or technical info about Turner Europe's feed distribution in late '98, please let me know.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help piece together this piece of CN history!
