Seriously who here recalls all the now and then bumpers of the City Era, because I sure do. I was 10 when this era came out on June 14, 2004. Living in Jersey City back then that meant I saw this during my summer vacation and it was awesome. I recall every show I saw on this block. The bumpers for each show was awesome, however watching the bumpers at night felt like a calm atmosphere for me. The music in this era was awesome even characters in different shows interacting with each other was great.
Seeing the city era go through spring break, Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas was the best time in 2004 and 2005. The last time I saw bumpers for this era was in 2006 when the characters were watching a movie in the theater.
My favorite thing about this era was Nicole "Nikki" Vicious. She was the original announcer for this block as she went from smooth clam to hyper happy in the next couple of now and then bumpers. Things just wasn’t the same when late February 2006 came. Growing up this was my favorite era in Cartoon Network, and there will never be a remaster modern version of this era period.
A lot of good shows aired in this era so which one is your favorite, I only saw 26 shows in this era.
