I'm not from Canadaland, spoon feed me.

Back in the day, when TV hosts on kids channels didn't talk to their audience like retards:

>>89932708
He had a comics and cartoons review show (like an actual show not youtube) on Scifi channel back in the day too.

Blast from the past, holy shit. I remember being legit sad when he left.

What is he up to these days?

Anyone remember Video and Arcade top ten? I was on an episode of that and could never find the episode.

>>89933715
Is that his real name?

>>89932672
jesus christ how old is he now

>>89933867
Looked him up once. I think he's a radio host somewhere now.

>>89933715
Did you get a fucking stupid watch?

>>89933715
Did that show ever adopt anything past the nintendo 64? I remember them using those controllers for everything

>>89934261
Nah I won that competition while playing Viewtiful Joe and got to draw a prize. I won books.

>>89934348
Yeah they had at least Gamecube. I remember them having Gotcha Force on there

The Zone was the best from 1999-2005


It went downhill when Sugar left.

anyone remember when they had crunch on saturdays?

>>89934348
I remember having a fucking aneurysm watching the Yoshi's Island episode where the kids couldn't fucking manage to get past the tutorial level for so god damned long.
HOLD THE JUMP. JUST FUCKING PRESS THE BUTTON AND JUMP OVER. IT 'AINT HARD!

Ajay has done surprisingly well for himself since leaving YTV.

I always thought he was gay.

>>89936784
Ajay is also doing random commercials (which is what he is doing on Space, technically) in Canada as well
If anyone is gay in that picture, it would be the short guy

>>89932708
The Canadian government heavily regulates all forms of Candian media with a strict requirement that a percentage of content be made by Canadians.
Having some Canadians host little segments between shows also counted toward that, so they could get away with having a programming block that is mostly american cartoons.

>>89936743
I heard a rumor that no one was keeping track of what the kids were doing anyway and the winner is just chosen at random.

>>89937356
>being so culturally deficient that your government needs to regulate your television broadcasts
How do leafs live with themselves?

In retrospect, can fall/winter 2006 be seen as a tipping point when everything went to shit and everything had all personality and thought removed from it including YTV?

>>89937497
Trying not to get overwritten. TV had become a very strong medium for the transmission of "culture".
The virtual village to raise the child. And if you're raised by another's village, which do you consider home?
I've met countless Canadians over the years whose understanding of laws were largely based on America from watching Law and Order, CSI, NY PD Blue, etc.
Who'd sooner call CSIS "the umm, Canadian CIA?"

>>89937497
Can you imagine until this year, we didn't get superbowl commercials because the CRTC gives empowerment to Canadian channels to overwrite an American broadcast with their own if the two are showing the same thing?

Did the Canadians ever get those dbz episodes?

>>89937735
Heritage Minutes!

>>89937356
First of all, you're full of shit, and second, that has nothing to do with anything here.

Having hosted segment was merely filler because children's' programming before primetime was only allowed to air a certain amount of advertisements.

>>89937790
Yes, we eventually got all of DBZ, DB and DBGT.
Although they ditched the Funimation dub for an alternative dub by Blue Water, since being dubbed by Canadians also counts a little as CanCon.

>>89937790

I'm too tired to watch the video but I had some internet friends that lived in New York and it turns out some of the episodes they got were censored while ours wasn't. Stuff like people/kids being naked despite nothing actually showing.

Canadian here, can confirm we did, but the Buu saga dub was an atrocious experience along with reused tracks from Megaman.

It really is uncanny how much shit went wrong ~2007.

>>89937720
>>89938085
2005-2008 is unarguably the peak of human history. Maybe not the exact peak, perhaps it was sooner, but there was a relative plateau intill 05-08, where things just unfathomably worse and worse as years went by.

>>89937808
It's this. That's also why we had longer, full minute intros for stuff locally produced like Beast Wars.

What happened to YTV and The Zone? My kids grew up and we moved out of Canada like 3 years ago.

Is Teletoon and Family still shit?

>>89937497
They pretty much have to, seeing how the US sends so much of its culture in all forms of media into Canada.

>>89939831
>Beast Wars

It's called Beasties.

Good joke anon. Canada needs to be nuked already, nothing of value will be lost.

I never grew up with it, but I learned about it back in the day when I got introduced to Ruby Gloom and when /co/ would bring up how they all had a crush on Sugar as kids.

>>89943464
edge bro, sharp edge

You guys remember Pat? Dude has a show on CBC radio now

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

>>89942430
Just like War Planets is Shadow Raiders. Can't have the word War in title of kids shows even if the subject matter is essentially different factions fighting each other.
