Checkered Past, the new block on Adult Swim devoted to classic Cartoon Network shows, is an interesting launch, especially given it means starting the adult-focused channel at the new time of 5pm. But is this nostalgia trip a good thing, or is it just speeding up the end of Cartoon Network? I take a look at the challenges facing both sides of the channel, explore the impacts of the new timeslot and the new block's programming, and explore if Cartoon Network being taken over by Adult Swim like this is a sign of the much-loved kids' TV channel dying. I also ask what the launch means for future investment (or lack thereof) in both channels, and whether Adult Swim airing Cartoon Network shows through Checkered Past is really the best way for these Warner Bros. Discovery brands to showcase the best of animation.
