On October 1st, 1992, the world's first cable channel dedicated to showing cartoons all day every day was launched to the delight of cable subscribers. This channel was The Cartoon Network (shortly later known as just Cartoon Network). For its 30th anniversary, enjoy 24 hours of Cartoon Network's first years of operation (known as the Checkerboard era). Happy birthday, Cartoon Network! 🥳🎉🎂🎈🎁🥳

This is a compilation video I put together using footage of commercials and episodes from shows that played on Cartoon Network during the Checkerboard era (1992 to 1997). It is based off schedules from those years. Many shows (like The Snorks, Jetsons, 2 Stupid Dogs, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, Scooby-Doo Where Are You!, Speed Buggy, Jonny Quest, and SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron to name a very few) can't be used for copyright reasons. These shows were substituted with other great cartoons and shows that played on Cartoon Network around the same time. Think of it as a retro remix or a bootleg Saturday morning broadcast.

I believe this is the fiftieth cartoon compilation I've made like this (EDIT: It was the sixty-seventh). Many of the past ones can still be found in a playlist I've made for them, although some have been lost over copyright issues. I've never made one quite this long before, and it definitely provided some challenges. One of the biggest challenge was finding out that I can't upload videos more than 12 hours in length, meaning I had to unfortunately split this video up, but it worked out in the end. I put this together out of love for Cartoon Network, it was something I used to watch as a kid, and when I heard Cartoon Network was celebrating its thirtieth anniversary, I decided to make a massive tribute to something I enjoyed watching thirty years ago. I focused on the Checkerboard era because it's my personal favorite. Hopefully you enjoy it as well and enjoy watching this video.

This is the first part of a video I had to split into three parts because it was too long for Youtube. It goes from 12 PM (noon) to 8 PM (in the evening).

Disclaimer: I do not make any money or ask/accept any donations for these videos. I make them in my free time as a hobby, out of a love for old television, and because they're the kinds of videos I would like to be able to watch on Youtube. If you see Youtube ads (not commercials) on this video, that's because this video was copyright claimed by a variety of different companies, who chose to run ads on my video for their own profit. I also do not make these videos for children, but for adults like myself who are nostalgic for their childhoods. If the comments are disabled on this video or another like it, it's because Youtube set it as "for children." And that's the end of that disclaimer.

Here is a playlist of Saturday morning cartoons (and other similar broadcasts) videos I've made: https://www.youtube.com/playli....st?list=PLubQ2wNsM74
