>This was the only way to watch shows like Dexter, Courage, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken if you didn't have cable.
>All because the lazy fucks at WB didn't release much home media releases that weren't Powerpuff Girls.
>They wouldn't get DVD releases or full series releases until 10-20 years later after their airings.
WTF was WBs problem? Did they have no faith in CN? Or they think buying DVDs would lose their ratings?

Always bothered the hell out of me as a kid when I could find 6 different PPG VHS and DVDs at the rental shop but no Dexter or Johnny Bravo.

It's fascinating just how the idea of portable media has changed to the current standardized way it is now with streaming. It was a whole thing to be able to watch things away from a TV.

I was a poor Nintendofag but I remember being blown away when I put videos on my flashcart and could watch cartoons on my DS.
Kids these days don't know the struggle of past technology...

You've also got to remember the early 00s DVD landscape was VERY different than what it would become later in the 00s. Nobody was really sure what the standards were for DVDs at the time, so some shows would get full season releases, while others would get VHS-style "four episode" releases.

And low framerate and pixelated graphics too. The fucking SNES and Genesis have better graphics than the GBA.
