  • So everyone and their mother grew up watching Adult Swim... unless you were in Canada from the 90s up to 2012-ish. This is what I had to grow up with, and I feel it deserves some love, too. So, in the words of one of Teletoon's announcers: "Strap in your eyeballs! Get ready to swerve unexpectedly into the "maturely immature"! You've just accessed The Detour on Teletoon!"

    As an American viewer, thank you for putting a spotlight on something from your home country. The Detour & Teletoon as a whole have always been interesting to me because of some of the quirks you showed (like Futurama being on level with Billy and Mandy), so getting the full blow-by-blow report was a joy.

    As a fellow Canadian who would sneak downstairs at night at a young age and would discover "The Detour", it definitely changed me big time haha. I had to have been around 7 or 8 and I originally thought because all the shows were cartoons that it was aimed for kids (boy was I wrong lol). It's how I discovered shows like Aqua Teen, Home Movies, Clone High, Undergrads, Family Guy and even the Wrong Coast! Great job on this video my friend, you've done your country proud!

    When they chose to bring back Clone High, for my money the biggest mistake by far was not trying to make the show into a straightforward dramedy, or getting rid of Gandhi, but instead letting it be put in the hands of Warner Bros in a post-Zaslav world. As a wise crab once said, “every sailor knows it means death!”

      It’s a shame to check out something like Adult Swim on Canadian cable and for the most part it’s only Family Guy/King of the Hill reruns with the odd new show here and there - The Detour and Teletoon at Night and Adult Swim used to be the Wild West for new and exciting projects. Now you can’t even watch the Adult Swim catalogue in Canada because it’s only on Max in the US; even with a VPN you need a CC from the states to even pay for it. So unfortunate

    While I am Canadian and remember the block very fondly, there was something similar to The Detour/Teletoon Unleashed, but it was its own channel. It was called Locomotion and it aired animation for young adults, as well as anime. It was partially owned by Corus Entertainment from 2001 to 2005. It aired in Latin America, although there was also a version in Spain and Portugal.
    There doesn't seem to be a lot of English language retrospectives on this channel, if at all.
    Another thing I would like to mention is that Teletoon Canada tried to launch a few channels in Canada, like Teletoon Adult, Teletoon Multi, and Teletoon Pop. The only channel that ever got launched was Teletoon Retro in 2007.

    Great video! As someone not from Canada and who until now never heard of The DETOUR programming block, I can say that this was an amazing deep-dive into something exclusive to Canadian tv and hearing someone talk with so much love for Cybersix really made my day.
    And if I found out about The DETOUR through you'll video, I'll share a late-night programming block from my country as well. In Romania we never had any Adult Swim and only had Teletoon for like 3 years or so, so instead adult animation, anime and teen cartoons found their home on the channel Animax. Despite it being named the same as the Japanese, Indian, Chinese, African and other countries' versions of the block/channel, Romania's Animax was its own beast.
    Basically Animax would start at 8 at night and would be on until like 5 in the in the morning and would show cartoons like TMNT 2003, Batman Beyond, Ben 10 Alien Force and Megas XLR, adult cartoons like the Boondocks or the Venture Bros., some early 2000s reality tv from the US and of course a bunch of anime from well-known ones like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach or Detective Conan to more obscure ones like Lovely Complex, Vampire Knight or Slayers. It also had its own identity in the bumpers and ads, everything about the channel having this futuristic blue and gray hue and feel to it. Besides the stuff gotten from other countries, Animax would also show some original Romanian content like Comic Con coverages and whatnot alongside a few dubbed anime and cartoons(the channel mostly had subtitles not in-house dubs) like Justice League, Hello Kitty and weirdly enough FMA 2003.
    The block was a thing from 2005 all the way to 2014 when it was taken away from Romanian audiences because apparently some parents and government official had many issues with it and they banned not only Animax for good but also anime and adult cartoons in general for like 4 years. Still got no replacement or revival for the block after nearly 10 years.
    Anyways, I enjoyed the video and I hope I made you discover a late night animation programming block you never heard of before just like you made me discover The DETOUR after never hearing about it until now. Have a nice day!

    There's three memories I'll always have with Teletoon's TAN block; Watching an episode of Man vs. Cartoon, the Canadian premiere of Futurama's previous finale "Meanwhile", and an uncensored broadcast of South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut on December 2017. I honestly find it a downer that Man vs. Cartoon is currently lost media, even with its 6-episode run, as I remember liking the one episode I watched, yet currently the only stuff I could find of it was mentions of its American run on TruTV, an unfinished trailer for the series and a single episode dubbed in Hungarian. I guess also technically there's the "Action" channel that the Canadian [adult swim] channel replaced on Shaw satellites, but that felt only slightly connected. I still remember that their first broadcast during that switch was the Season 3 premiere of Rick and Morty; I think the shows I watched on there the most in its first year was Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, ATHF, Robot Chcken, King of the Hill, and Family Guy, both the newer and older episodes. I also watched Samurai Jack on there from time-to-time, but not as often. But for ol' At Night, I also watched Family Guy and Robot Chcken on there, along with Futurama, Man vs. Cartoon, and The Cleveland Show. Or at least, those are the shows I remember watching on there, referencing Wikipedia's list of the block's programs. If there was any moment where I watched say, 2 Nuts and a Richard, I couldn't remember a minute of it.

    I was 10 when Teletoon launched, and seeing the channel die and relaunch as Cartoon Network Canada has really made me appreciate how eclectic it was during its early years. There were some American CN imports and old Hanna-Barbera stuff, but there were also a lot of Canada-Europe co-productions and whole half-hour blocks of shorts from the National Film Board of Canada. For as many animated series as there are nowadays, you can't deny how similar most of them look aesthetically. Stuff on Teletoon back in the day varied wildly in terms of look and tone.

    Yes a do HATE peoples using the Teletoon at night/Télétoon la nuit name all the time because the name was used in 2011-onwards era of the block which it bothered me a lot to this very day.
    The Detour/Le Détour need more recognition as the best era of the block.
    I am a francophone myself so i watch Télétoon all the time when i was younger, it was my favorite channel.
    Fun fact: do you know there is a Quebec version of Fred at Night call Slaque la Cravate (the name sounds better in French than the English one).
    Yes i am aware that English Teletoon been replaced by Cartoon Network. It’s sucks that anglophone will no longer experience Teletoon anymore but the French one still exists 😢.
    Go check The Detour on UA-cam YT channel there are a lot of amazing things in his community post about earlier versions of Teletoon/Detour/Retro 2007 logo. Teletoon is named Chuck (yes that’s is name of the logo am not joking)

    And then tripping the rift came on. And then I was confused
    ALSO FUCK YEAH CYBERSIX! I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW! Catching this show as a kid was a treat!

    This was so interesting, thanks for this retrospective on something that not many people outside of Canada know much about! I've heard of Cyber Six before online but forgot all about it until now, and comparing Delta State to Scooby-doo: Mystery Inc is an instant sell to me. I gotta check out both!
    Barely related, but where in the world have I seen that Teletoon logo in my life? Must've been an original show for the channel that was brought over here at some point (to Finland)...

    I grew up on Teletoon through the late 2000's early 2010's and it was a mixed bag, and got worse as I kept watching due to all the shows being added that were only made to fill a quota.
    I liked early teletoon retro with Transformers and looney toons and later Teletoon at night with futurama, undergrads and fearless fred. Adult swim Canada seems to follow the same trend as teletoon with old Canadian shows and quota fillers among a sea of family guy, american dad and king of the hill, with it only really getting good after midnight.

    idk if it was part of the detour, but this show called "station x" i find is super similar in difficulty trying to find.
    also reminds of delta state for like, 12 yr olds lol, as i was maybe 10/11 ish at the time,
    thing is; it was probably like 7 minutes of animation an episode?
    they would be split up with music videos and short lil .. vinuettes? ...ik i spelt that wrong but,
    its actually how i got introduced to some great music like pretty far out post grundgey alt rock kinda stuff like peaches.
    if anyone else remembers this show, knows of it being archived anywhere, or actually is trying.to even, i have maybe 3 episodes i ripped off my.old vhs collection so🤷‍♀️
    idk lmao, i used to love that show.
    guess how many episodes.-_-
