Here's the bumper for your nostalgia fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRwzpDnIUEw It was pretty much the same for me too. I caught a promo for it on Adult Swim, watched the first episode when it first aired back in '04, and was a follower from that point on.

I'd say my encounter with the series was pretty similar, although I'm not sure when it aired on Adult Swim or when I caught it, but I think 2004 or 05. I don't think I ever caught all 50 episodes though. I remember it being such a tease at the time when Conan returned to being "Jimmy" for the first time though. It did have a really crappy time-slot though, which was quite frustrating. (I think 1am EST). I remember buying a bunch of cheap blank tapes down at the dollar store to record it after almost immediately falling in love with it after seeing the first few episodes (Them TDKs!). Unfortunately, I moved out soon after, and my father relocated, and I have no clue where the tapes are. It's a shame too, not that I couldn't rewatch those episodes, but seeing all the commercials, and those special bumpers before each episode was pretty cool! I haven't really "watched" Adult Swim in years, last time I flipped it on I was really disappointed in what has become of it though. Sometimes I like to just wallow in my nostalgia and let it consume me. I suppose I take things a bit for granted now, given it's been a whole decade later, but I'm still in love with the series despite some of its flaws and some of the recent story arcs. Sorry for rambling!

Exactly, in my alternate Vermouth story, I was going to have Yoko Vermouth attempting to make moves to kill Ai once she had her alone, only to have it be revealed to be Conan in disguise (like the Halloween case), since it was obvious that after she got the BO scent from her in the hotel, we would realize that she had told Conan all he needed to know, yet he still finds himself in a tight spot
