[edit] Question about adult content on Teletoon?

This has been on the main article for some time, but can anyone back up the story about Teletoon scaling back adult programming due to a programming mishap in preschool hours? I've assumed that it was accurate since it hasn't been disputed yet, but I'd really appreciate seeing some evidence of this. - Jbetteridge 06:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't know, but what I do remember, was when how cross some of my friend's parents were, channel surfing over the the Kagero + StoneGiant rape scene, during Teletoon's showing of Ninja scroll. Awfully brutal for their first year, in the process of eventually becoming a "kid friendly" network. It's based on a bit of hearsay,

(friends told me how cross their parents were after the incident, and how their parents knew other parents who called into the network to complain to no end. They did in fact , show Ninja scroll within the first couple of weeks of Rogers' MeTV line up)

but I can't remember of there being any incident of 'Adult rated' movies being shown before, or after 'watershed' like the article states. Most anime movies and their repeats started showing much later after that incident though. I have bags under my eyes from trying to record them all :(

Found "something: but...

http://www.anime-source.com/banzai/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=741

http://www.canoe.ca/TelevisionShowsT/teletoon.html,

There's that vintage article, (found in googles cache) :::http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:_A_1my0e5i8J:www.canoe.ca/TelevisionShowsT/teletoon.html+canoe+teletoon&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

Again, nothing beyond hearsay :/. Not as if though the company were willing to go out of their way to incriminate themselves either ;p. The Canoe article reads that in regards to anime they "didn't really know what they were doing". I don't think its worth exaggerating though.

Maybe it was one of their misplaced "Washershed" TV bumpers featuring a plasticine sketch scene of a john, with an "alien" street walker, who's tongue came in the shape of an alluring pink boot ;p (lol). Who knows. Wait and see

There used to be an adult cartoon short called Lolita or Lolita Lolita on Teletoon after 11 pm which contained cartoon nudity. It was played early in the morning, causing some controversy after a woman saw it when she was babysitting a toddler.

[edit] New logo

I just got a TV grab of the new logo of Teletoon. Should it be replaced with the old one? In my opinion, I think it should, but I just want to see what your opinions are. --XuperUber 16:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

• Looks very cheesy... literally. :) Both the old logo and this new one should be on the page. --FlyingPenguins 17:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Old Shows

heya,

Blazing Dragons had a weird syndication 2-3(ish)(?) AM repeat run at morning time slot when the network originally aired.

I remember it, because I hated that show.

They also showed Wings of honnemaise/Dragon ball Z/ Macross Plus OVA/Patlabor (Movies 1 & 2) but I wasn't sure if we were listing movies or not.

If we are listing movies we should also include Ninja Scroll.69.156.205.22 06:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Past programs

Hey, I'm just a random person who happened to drop by and decided to add some programs to the list of former Teletoon programs. I still remember how excited I was the first day it aired, and how there was a countdown timer on the channel before any real programming occurred, and how I had to go to school... I rushed to the channel when I arrived back; Santo Bugito was on at 3 PM or so. There's been a lot of changes with the channel from then until now. But I have a good handle on many of its early programming, and I've added quite a bit to the list, if you don't mind.

• Animania
• Blaster's Universe
• Dog City
• Mega Babies
• Pippi Longstocking
• Santo Bugito
• Tales from the Cryptkeeper
• The Addams Family
• The Magic School Bus
• The Tick
• Wacky Races
• X-Men

More shows that come off the top of my head that I will add:

• Archie's Weird Mysteries
• Cow and Chicken
• I Am Weasel
• Rescue Heroes
• Savage Dragon
• Sonic Underground
• The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries

There will be even more to come shortly.

EDIT: Even though Stickin' Around is listed as once showing on the English Teletoon, this is not true. From what I've seen, the only English-speaking Canadian channel that has ever showed it is YTV. On the program's page, it is noted as once being on the French Teletoon. I can't confirm if this is true, since I've never had access to that channel, but I believe that it is. So I'll go ahead and delete Stickin' Around from the list of past programs for Teletoon (English), but just to be safe, I won't touch the French page.

EDIT 2: Added plenty more to "Past programs"; deleting Clone High, Mission Hill, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Oblongs, and Venture Brothers from "Programs currently airing on The Detour" and adding them to "Past programs," in accordance to Teletoon's show list on its Web site.

[edit] Question about Baby Teletoon

Yeah. I saw that starting September 9th, Baby Teletoon will air. But I haven't seen any website or commercial evidence of it existing so can somebody delete this where di the guy who got this tell me where it came from. If nobody replies, I'll have to delete the section myself.

[edit] Duckman?

I don't believe Duckman would be in this slot. I mean...its not a show for babies. Plus, concerning Baby Teletoon...I don't think Corus would want to have this channel compete with Treehouse TV, which is pretty much all kids programming all the time. Tenspeeder 08:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

you have no idea what duckman was do you... lmao

I remember Duckman. It was that show with ducks as main characters which was intended for adult viewers

[edit] Animania

This article lists Animania as one of the shows on Teletoon. However, Animania is about an event in Sydney. Is the article perhaps referring to Animaniacs, or to a TV show which should be at an article such as Animania (TV show) or Animania (cartoon)? Confusing Manifestation 05:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am the one who listed Animania. I remember that there was actually a show of the same name. I'm 100% positive. It was a program that aired in the night and consisted of many short animated films by the National Film Board of Canada. During the days when Teletoon was still fairly new, the station used to have some sort of program that featured all these NFB short films. I forgot the name to that one, but there was a newer program titled Animania that basically functioned the same way. It's difficult to find any information on these programs, but some long-time Teletoon viewers might also remember. - MW 74.12.151.234 06:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Splat

Wasn't Splat (a TV program about animation) the first live-action TV show on Teletoon?

I also question whether Scooby Doo was in fact the first live action movie. I seem to recall Beetlejuice airing a lot earlier than that. I did some net searches and can find an airdate of October 2003 for Beetlejuice, but the earliest I can find for Scooby Doo is September 2004. 74.112.71.56 09:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relaunched?!?!

Well, today out of nowhere, Teletoon relaunched, completely new logo too :D This wikipage need a major upgrade, right now! ViperSnake151 13:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Someone needs to protect this page from vandalism, for several days now someone(s) been vandalising TELETOON and the french TELETOON articles. Either they person or persons be blocked or someone protect these pages from editing until this matter can be solved. 72.142.251.81 22:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

This article has been renamed from TELETOON (Canada) to Teletoon (Canada) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 16:29, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Just to add my 2 cents... this is just another example of how flawed Wikipedia really is. If its name is officially spelled with all CAPS then that's how it should be spelled in the article regardless. MusiMax 23:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TELETOON Original.gif

Image:TELETOON Original.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Cable Channel

Whoever is changing the Cable channels to the "available on most cable systems, check local listings" message should stop. On Rogers Personal TV it's channel 227 East and channel 224 West. Go check for yourself if you have it. This goes for the rest of the canadian TV channels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.171.102 (talk) 01:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

The established consensus standard for television network articles (as noted on WP:TVS is to indicate that channels are available on most cable systems and that channels vary, unless the station is only on a few systems, where listing them individually would not be unwieldy. Please do not change articles in conflict with that established consensus. --Mhking (talk) 01:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The F-Night Change

Someone forgot to modify The F-Night to include the F'n Good Movie block. I decided to go ahead and type about it Hellwolf36 (talk) 22:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Does anyone have an answer?

Well, I saw three commercials on The Detour and it signifies to a new show February 29th, and they are Star Wars themed. I don't know about any of these commercials, but tey all point to a new show on Teletoon. Does anybody know what this is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.64.122.193 (talk) 23:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Current Program List

The list of the current programs in the article is incomplete. If you go to [Teletoon.com you will see the listing of the TV series broadcast. But there is a category Shows broadcast by Teletoon that I created. If a list is going to be created than it should be completed as best it can be. But it's not as complete as it could be. Mr. C.C.
