I watched Cartoon Network religiously when it aired here, from like '95 to '99 or '00. Also, after CN stopped broadcasting, TNT was on after that and friday nights were WCW Monday Nitro nights 8)
Oh, so many lovely memories. I absolutely loved Cow & Chicken, I Am Weasel, Dexter's Lab and Two Stupid Dogs. Also the classics, like Tom & Jerry, Droopy, Looney Tunes, all the good stuff from back when. I also distinctly remember this racing cartoon, which had some classic characters from old animations, like Dick Dastardly with his evildoing mutt and other racers with cars modeled after their persona. We had a talk about this with my friend the other day, and I couldn't remember the name of the show, but alas, Google! Here goes:
Wacky Races!

Sadly, around '00 CN went order/buy-only. Greedy fucks ruin everything...
