I dedicate this blog to Toonami...
Yes, it's been finalized, the beloved Toonami is over. I never really watched it in the end besides Naruto as it was declining. It's highest point in it's life was probably around 1999-2004. Those were when shows like Thunder Cats, Dragonball, DragonBall Z, Zoids, Sailor Moon(Hey, it was a good show!), Gundam, Yu Yu Hakushow, Yu-Gi-Oh(not GX, the first one), Samuri Jack, Justice League and other shows that were pretty popular back then were blockbusters, Toonami was on top of the world! Then after those shows eventually ended or stopped airing and then they moved it to a different time slot after it was on every weekday starting at 4:00 PM ET, then a different day resulting in it airing ever Saturday night.
I remember when I used to watch it back in the late 90s, around 98 is when I started to watch and I really liked it. Moltar was the first host, never was really a fan of his. Then came along TOM, the TOM character seemed cool and it was just a good idea. Then they had that Intruder storyline along with all of those other TIE's(Total Immersion Events) and TOM 2 came to be, he was the coolest of them all, that body suit was just really cool along with the helmet8)
After that, the rest of the TOMs were lame. TOM 3 was OK but he was a cheap knockoff of TOM 2, they didn't have any features that made TOM 2 likable and it was a total remake. TOM 4 was the worst one IMO, looked totally different from the first three, and he came out of the blue, TOM 3 had no story of how he died or was destroyed. From then on, Toonami went down and no longer appealed to me after they changed the time more than once and the shows aired on it weren't my type of shows.
Nevertheless, Toonami has been a great block or program if you will and I'm glad I watched it in the good ole' days of television.
RIP Toonami, you will always be appreciated for gracing us with your presence of wonderful television and something you could look forward to watching after coming from school when you were younger.
Article about Toonami's Ending(This is how I found out after becoming suspicious when Toonami didn't air one night as there was nothing on tv to watch so I looked to see if Toonami had on Naruto that night.)

On a different note, I haven't posted a blog since August:shock: Seems like it has been longer than that but oh well, I'm just glad I posted this blog, it felt good to type this as it brung back the awesome memories of childhood.
Hope you enjoyed reading this blog, I know I enjoyed typing it. This is also my first blog on this new tv.com site, not the new GS site since I posted a blog after GS changed...
PeaceOUT!:D
