I don't get it myself, but I've watched it at friends' houses a lot. I agree, it kicks much ass.

It sounds pretty decent, we have Boomerang which airs some good older stuff like Johnny Bravo, Popeye, Justice League Unlimited, etc.

They play The Raccoons way too much on that channel. I appreciate it, but any time I sat down to watch it fucking Raccoons would be on. I hate that show so much.

 It's not rape if you rape everyone who accuses you.

Is it true that Canada called Beast Wars "Beasties" instead?

If so, that's hilarious. Also, a bit off topic, but does anyone else notice that the CG in Beast Wars was way better and caused much less eyestrain than the shit in the new CG Transformers cartoons?

That's because Energon/Cybertron were Japanese-produced measures (hell there's a whole series in Japan called Beast Wars Neo I have yet to witness) whereas Beast Wars/Machines was Canadian-produced (and voiced).
To be honest, it sounds like there's more to Teletoon Retro than Boomerang has to offer here in the states; the only shows I watch on Boomerang are the various DC Animated stuff (but not The Batman). It's my understanding that Teletoon is basically the Canadian hybrid of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.

thats pretty accurate, Teletoon plays a lot of everything and so far Retro has a decent list of cartoons, I hope they air some more classics like who remembers Dino Riders or Sabre Rider and the star sherrifs? ah those were the days ooh and biker mice from mars

They called it that to prevent morons from jumping the gun and claiming it’s some sort of dog fighting show. Well thats what I belive they said in a maeking off video I've seen.
