I get excited if I see anything YTV out in the wild!

- Have a good day everyone! ✌️

But I believe Yvon can the world.

I have so many great memories watching this show on tv as a kid, since I got my new laptop last spring I was on a mission to find as many ytvrips as possible. Surprisingly a lot of ytvrips can still be found online. I found that a lot of season finales (last 12 or 6 eps) were recorded of shows such as justice league, teen titans, yugioh, beyblade, etc. I can’t believe that someone actually managed to capture this many episodes of yugioh. So far I have found S01 EP 39-42, S02 EP 70-97, S03 EP 122-144 and some miscellaneous episodes (100,101,103,104,120, and 121). Some friends of the Ytv broadcast archive discord helped me complete enter the shadow realm minus the Noah saga with saved rips from cartoon palace and anime plus.tv.

I’m not so eager to collect S01 episodes although if you had them I don’t think anyone would say no it’s just because I feel like most of us watched S01 on vhs from blockbuster or Roger’s video rental stores anyways.. although! I do remember watching yugi and his friends duel the big five on Ytv for the first time but I really do wonder if someone had the missing ytvrips in question (first half of season 2, and first half of season 3 [noah saga]) downloaded from old anime websites sitting on their old hardrive somewhere or if you had some old vhs tapes you were willing to digitize and share with us on archive . Org. Anything from season 4 and 5 (2004-2006) era would be cool esp because it isn’t as common since most ppl stopped watching after S03.

No arcade games and rarely if ever top "10"

Next time I gotta turn the lights on so these look better

I was looking through an old box of keepsakes and photos I have and found this. They sent it to me when I wrote them a letter when I was in elementary school. I don’t remember what year, but it had to be sometime in the mid 90’s.

Found this tee a while ago and was never able to find much about it other than info about the actual event, so to my knowledge this is a promo shirt for a special weekend event of ytv where the character Warren grog took over the channel and that’s about as far as my knowledge goes hahaha

Any info or opinions on this tee would be awesome

No prequels

This one is from the morning of Mon Sep 2 2002. Though the first three in this compilation are TECHNICALLY part of the Sun Sep 1 2002 schedule, which was considered the last day of YTV's "2001-2002" season, with the rest of this being the start of the "2002-2003" season. So it's kinda the transition between broadcast seasons.

What makes this REALLY interesting, however, is that at 5:00a in this lineup is an airing of BOB THE BUILDER, a show that started on YTV (Jr) in Mar 2001, but moved to Treehouse in Sep 2001. Due to a broadcasting regulation, a show would almost NEVER be part of both the regular YTV and Treehouse lineups simultaneously (a rule which was overturned by Summer 2012). So WHY they put Bob the Builder in this timeslot is anyone's guess. Looking at the same timeslot for the previous week, it had "KaBlam!", so you would think it maybe was put in place of that because they were required to cease broadcasting "KaBlam!" by September, but that doesn't seem to be the case, since it still aired that morning at 1:30a (which, to my knowledge, was the final airing of "KaBlam!" on the channel). It's also kinda funny seeing Bob the Builder, strictly a preschool show, in between Yvon and SpongeBob, which are both family-friendly but can have edgy humor (though I guess it's funny having BOB the Builder and SpongeBOB right next to each other). That particular Bob the Builder episode would later have it's "official" premiere on Treehouse on Mon Sep 9 2002 at 5:00p.

What's also kinda cool is that after the 6:00a showing of "MONA THE VAMPIRE" on Sun Sep 1 2002 was a single showing of the interstitial series "My Special Book", which had moved to Treehouse in Sep 2000, but was replaced by "Judy & David's Boombox" on there starting Sun Sep 1 2002 [previously it had been on YTV up to that point] (before "My Special Book" returned to Treehouse in Mar 2004). My guess is that they were gonna swap Judy & David and MSB (MSB moves to YTV, Judy & David moves to Treehouse), but decided against moving MSB back to YTV at the last minute, while still going ahead with moving Judy & David to Treehouse.

(also, for the particular SpongeBob episode here, I couldn't NOT include the iconic meme image that came from it.)

I wore this to the first day of school; the jocks and even teh nerds beat me up
I just wanted to be part of something big

had an itch to go down memory lane and stumbled upon this episode of Ready or Not. In this episode, Amanda gets a bra because a boy touched her and complimented her "body" through a dare. The kids then tease her because of it.

The teacher didn't do anything to help or discipline the other students. idk if it's just how things were back then, but I really feel like this wouldn't fly these days? Isn't this sexual harassment, both from the boy and her classmates? Shouldn't the teacher have jumped in? I felt like it was especially odd that the teacher still made her do her presentation, despite being teased like that... If i was the teacher, i'd be a more empathetic about something like that.

Oh and the comment from her dad telling her that her wearing a bra was a big day for her... I'm sure its not intentionally supposed to be creepy, but I also feel like that's also not something that would fly - at least not in my family?

was this normal back then?

Went to the basement and cracked open the bin and took some pics

I wrote a short poem to recreate the classic TV commercial! The house hippo was a treasured part of my childhood, and I like the idea of paying homage to a piece of CanCon with an unexpectedly long-lasting impact
