As Dreamers Do Part Deux

IOTL, SVES was a short-lived Saturday night action block that ran on Cartoon Network from March 1st, 2003 until April 10th, 2004. It was CN's experiment with airing Saturday night primetime action premieres after the success of 2002's Adult Swim Action(AcTN) launch and the fact they quite literally started it with reruns of Samurai Jack, Justice League, Transformers: Armada and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

The block was successful, so that, and the fact they didn't want older audiences watching the network during the day anymore, is why they moved Toonami to Saturday nights and then eventually canned altogether only to be brought back on Adult Swim by 2012.

Here is a video and a article about it:

And just for fun, the TV Tropes page for it:

The block was for all ages, hence why you'd see Pikachu, Yugi, Jackie Chan, He-Man, The Transformers, the Teen Titans and other characters like those in the earlier hours while the stuff people actually cared about like the Justice League, Gundam, Zoids, the Z Fighters and the like later at night for older audiences.

Kinda a shame they didn't at least air The Big O and Inuyasha, nor picked up something interesting like Angelic Layer, Dai-Guard and other stuff just for the block(and later Toonami) IOTL.....

SVES was replaced with Toonami, while Toonami itself was replaced with Miguzi.
So it was just Cartoon Network's version of SNICK or ZOOG Disney?
 
Speaking of action, how about if either The Disney Channel, Toon Disney or FX had Marvel Mondays?
Why not just merge all of the action into Nezumi.

Nezumi could air during the following times on the following channels:
  • Fox Kids: Saturday Mornings- 10AM to 12PM.
  • FX: Weeknights- 9PM to 11PM
  • Toon Disney: Mondays thru Thursdays- 7PM to 10PM
  • Disney Channel: Saturday Nights- 8-11PM
At launch at least.
 
Speaking of action, how about if either The Disney Channel, Toon Disney or FX had Marvel Mondays?
Since this is your timeline, I can see Disney Channel and Toon Disney splitting the Marvel Mondays banner, but with Toon Disney airing it in primetime, while Disney Channel gets it in the afternoons.

Speaking of Marvel, should we include TMNT into this block, assuming Daredevil is still TMNT canon, and vice versa?

Awesome!!

So these shows will become major hits for Toonami.

Or SVES, if you even managed to read what I said about it.
 
Logo History: Turner Home Entertainment
ITTL, Turner Home Entertainment began in the late 1970's as UA/TBS Home Video. The UA/TBS jingle used from 1983 to 1993 is basically the same one [LINK] that was used by MGM/UA Home Video around that same time period IOTL.

This has been Turner Home Entertainment's logo since 1994.

The Turner Mansion logo has also been used in tandem with other Turner brands depending on what title you buy.

United Artists of course. This UA logo has been in use since 1999, beginning with Varsity Blues and Doug's First Movie.

MTV Home Video, seen mostly on home media releases of Beavis and Butt-Head, Aeon Flux, Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, Celebrity Deathmatch and Jackass.

MGM DVD logo, seen on recent releases of The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, A Fish Called Wanda, Legally Blonde and Tom and Jerry compilations.

Starting this year, Cartoon Network will finally have its own home media logo, beginning with season one of Spongebob Squarepants.
 
Logo History: Walt Disney Home Video/Entertainment
DISCLAIMER: This is pretty much a soft re-con.

Early Walt Disney Home Video releases were through MCA Discovision, an early Laserdisc brand, thanks to the friendship of Walt, Sr. and Lew Wasserman.

The first logo was the infamous Neon Mickey, originally created to celebrate Mickey's 50th birthday. However, this logo was immediately hated by Walt Disney, Sr., who saw the logo as a desecration of the character. "What the fuck is this shit?," Walt, Sr. supposedly asked when he saw this logo for the first time. Because Walt, Sr. hated it so bad, it was quickly retired and replaced with a placeholder.

When Disney entered the VHS and Beta market in 1980, the Neon Mickey was replaced with what is basically a prototype of the original Disney Channel logo; a silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head against a TV-screen shaped background. On screen, this logo was shown on a black background with the Walt Disney Home Video name underneath.

The jingle for this logo is the same one used IOTL by MGM/CBS Home Video from 1978 thru '81. [LINK]

From 1982 thru '85, Walt Disney Home Video cobbled together a logo lifted from the intro of the anthology series which was still running on SBC during that time period. IOTL, this was only used outside of North America.

In 1985, Disney introduced the "Sorcerer Mickey" logo, a year earlier than IOTL. In 1999, Disney took over the home media distribution of the Carmen Sandiego franchise following the collapse of Broderbund. That same year, Disney became the home video partner for Sesame Workshop, the WGBH Educational Foundation, NFL Films and Britt Allcroft. A year later, the "Home Video" text was changed to "Home Entertainment."

This spring, the 2-disc DVD releases of Yasuke and National Treasure begin with a prototype for what could be a new logo. Basically, it is the same as the Walt Disney Pictures logo you see below, except with "Home Entertainment" in the same Lubalin Graph Book font.

Sony/MCA Home Entertainment
Starting on June 1, 2005, NBC/RKO Video, Universal Studios Home Video and DreamWorks Home Entertainment will be consolidated into one label:

sony-mca-home-entertainment-logo-png.750918

Special thanks to @ExowareMasses for this logo.

Down below will be the jingle for the logo above.

From that point forward, Sony/MCA Home Entertainment will handle the home media distribution for the following studios:
- Universal Pictures
- RKO Radio Pictures
- DreamWorks SKG
- Gramercy Pictures

In the meantime, the separate labels will be phased out and consolidated into the new umbrella venture.​
