• 1994-1999 (the Space Ghost/Beginning era): this is when we saw Cartoon Network's first original program called "Space Ghost Coast To Coast", which was also the first program to have Adult Swim's signature humor, with it contributing to Adult Swim's success.
• 2000-2003 (the Pool era): this is when we saw many of the first iconic/classic shows on the block including (ATHF, Cowboy Bepop, The Big O, InuYasha, Sealab, Brak, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies etc.), With a lot of the OG [as] cartoons, reusing various backgrounds from old Hanna Barbera cartoons, and this is when the bumps depicting old people swimming at a pool, was featured, and still remains as one of the most iconic parts of [as], also the shows/seasons in the era, is noticably way tamer than the newer eras.

• 2014-2016 (the beginning of the Nature/Landscape bumpers era): this is when they started using nature-based bumpers, but they still used the B&W text bumps but only later at the night, also this is when the block now started at 8pm.
