Winter time for Popeye

Here's an episode of The All New Popeye Show that doesn't have to do with Christmas when I watched it on Cartoon Network as a kid.

It's fun with Ronald at McDonald's

An American McDonald's commercial from 1993 was seen internationally in the mid to late 1990s, including my country where Filipino children remember it during commercial breaks of Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z on RPN & Bioman on IBC.

Hamburglar's at it again!

An American McDonald's commercial from 1996 was seen internationally in different versions in the late 1990s. There was a Filipino version of the commercial where Filipino children remember it during commercial breaks of Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Z on RPN & Super Boink on IBC, in which it hasn't been uploaded on YouTube.

It's a surprise!

I remember that episode of The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network as a kid

I always watched that episode of The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network so I didn't miss a single scene. These cartoons were produced by Hanna-Barbera in the late 1970s & the early 1980s because Daws Butler is still alive.

I found something!

In late 1998, Cartoon Network (Australian and New Zealand TV channel) started the Powerhouse era which were acquired from the United States. The Powerhouse bumpers would later debut in Southeast Asia the following year, August 22 to be exact.

Here's Chuckie!

I remember that commercial when I was 4 years old during a commercial break of Voltes V on GMA Network, Filipino children remember it also during a commercial break of Bioman on IBC back in 1999. The commercial features Chuckie the cow in which Nestlé later named the chocolate drink brand after him years later.

I remember this!

I remember that commercial when I was 12 years old during commercial breaks, including on Nickelodeon.

Dexter had no connection with Velma whatsoever

I watched that interstitial on Cartoon Network as a kid in the early 2000s.

That's rich, Richie Rich!

I remember watching that show on Cartoon Network as a kid in the late 1990s & the 2000s, although the character is currently owned by Classic Media (now DreamWorks Classics).

Holidays are coming

Everybody in the Philippines remembers the classic Coca-Cola Christmas commercial from the 1990s.

A Brief History of Nickelodeon (Southeast Asia)





Here's a brief history of Cartoon Network's rival, Nickelodeon in Southeast Asia. The channel was launched in the Philippines on November 5, 1998 as a 24-hour English-language channel. Then, the network expanded into Indonesia, Malaysia & Sri Lanka via pan-regional feed broadcast from Singapore since 1999. Back in the day before August 22, 1999, it aired original animated programing such as Rugrats & The Angry Beavers. I don't what other Nicktoons premiered on Nickelodeon in Southeast Asia after August 22, 1999 but I have to find out soon if I have to tell my mom to call the post master to ask some questions about it.



Nestlé cereals in Asia

During the late 1990s, Asian children eat Nestlé cereals every morning such as Koko Krunch & Honey Stars. Were in the US & Canada, it had General Mills cereals like Lucky Charms & Cocoa Puffs. Koko Krunch had a koala mascot named Koko & the cereal are choco petals so it's the great chocolatey taste while Honey Stars had a bear mascot named Captain Star & the cereal shaped like stars so they're the tastiest stars in the universe. So, here are the commercials.

TCM & Cartoon Network (2000–01)

On April 2, 2000, TNT was rebranded as Turner Classic Movies. Cartoon Network was still time-shared with TCM, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with Turner Classic Movies, formerly TNT, taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On July 1, 2001, Cartoon Network Asia became a separate 24-hour channel, with exclusive local feeds for the English-speaking areas in the Philippines, India & Australia.

TNT & Cartoon Network (1995–2000)

On September 1, 1995, Cartoon Network launched in the Philippines as a dual channel with TNT, operating from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with TNT, taking the remainder of the daily schedule. On August 22, 1999, Cartoon Network Asia began adopting Cartoon Network USA's "Powerhouse" theme. On April 2, 2000, TNT was rebranded as Turner Classic Movies.

The great chocolatey taste!

During the early & mid 2000s, Asian children eat Nestlé cereals every morning such as Trix, Koko Krunch & Honey Stars. Were in the US & Canada, it had General Mills cereals like Lucky Charms & Cocoa Puffs. For Koko Krunch, it had a koala mascot named Koko & the cereal are choco petals so it's the great chocolatey taste. So, here's the commercial.

Eat Breakfast cereals everyday

During the late 1990s & the early 2000s, Asian children eat Kellogg's cereals every morning such as Frosties, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies & Corn Flakes. However, one cereal from Kellogg's was not made in the United States & that's Chocos. The cereal had a bear mascot named Choco & it looks similar to Nestlé's Koko Krunch. So, here's the commercial.

I remember those PSAs of The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network as a kid

I always watched those PSAs of The All New Popeye Show on Cartoon Network so I didn't miss a single scene. Those PSAs where produced by Hanna-Barbera in the late 1970s & the early 1980s after every episode, the PSAs end with Popeye sings a safety message to kids in the tune of his theme song.

Before The Powerpuff Girls, There was Sailor Moon

Back in 1998, I watched Sailor Moon S on ABC 5 (now TV5) when the show was dubbed in Tagalog. I do know that the Tagalog dub version of Sailor Moon premiered on ABC 5 in 1994, one year before the English dub premiered both in Canada & the United States. One of a lot of things that annoys me in the Tagalog dub is Sailor Moon's speech before the battle begins, "Ako ang magandang tagapagtanggol ng pag-ibig at katarungan! Ako si Sailor Moon! Parurusahan kita sa ngalan ng buwan!" ("I am the good champion of love and justice! I am Sailor Moon! Punish in the name of the month!"). During the airing of Sailor Moon S on ABC 5 in the Philippines, Sailor Moon aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami block every Weekday afternoon at 4 PM in the United States as of June 12, 1998 Friday. In Canada however, Sailor Moon still airs on YTV until 2004. The only season of Sailor Moon that was not English dubbed as of today is Sailor Stars, although the last season of Sailor Moon aired on ABC 5 in the Philippines in the early 2000s & it was Tagalog dubbed. Usagi Tsukino was named Bunny in the Tagalog dubs of Sailor Moon & Sailor Moon R while she was named Serena in English dubs of the four seasons of Sailor Moon. The English dub of Sailor Moon also airs in the UK, Australia & New Zealand. With the exceptions of a few anime shows such as Yaiba, all the anime shows on ABC 5 were dubbed in Tagalog, same goes to ABS-CBN, GMA 7 & IBC 13 prior to 1999, August 22, Sunday at 8 AM to be exact. The Tagalized Sailor Moon theme song was sung by Angelika Dela Cruz & I shouldn't dare to listen to that. The first English dub of Sailor Moon was done by DIC Entertainment for the first 2 seasons & edited down to 82 episodes, The next one was done by Cloverway Inc. for the next 2 seasons & the episodes were edited by Cartoon Network in the United States. It makes 166 episodes in total. In the Tagalog dub however, it had 200 episodes & 5 seasons so far on ABC 5. I hope I should be watching the English dub of Sailor Moon which was done by DIC & Cloverway & I should soon looking forward for the English dub of Sailor Stars by Viz Media for another year. Amen to the Sailor Scouts.
UPDATE 2/23/2019: Viz Media will release the English dub of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars this May.

UPDATE 7/7/2025: Here's a promo for Sailor Moon SuperS that aired on ABC 5 (now TV5) back in 1999 which was uploaded by UndustFixation on YouTube last year.

It's The Bearys!

I watched The Woody Woodpecker Show on Cartoon Network back in 2005 when I was 10 years old. The show had a series of cartoons such as Andy Panda & The Beary Family. Speaking of The Beary Family, The series was about Charlie Beary, the incompetent family man, his nagging wife Bessie, their well-meaning but half-witted teenage son Junior and their younger daughter Suzy, who later got a pet goose who never gets along with Charlie. All 28 cartoons feature the voice talents of Paul Frees & Daws Butler which both of them are dead as of July 10, 1989 Monday. I don't think those cartoons are funny.
