With Adult Swim introducing its "Checkered Past" block in August 2023, Universal Kids announced it would introduce its own afternoon throwback rerun block called the "Universal Nostalgia Express". The block would air reruns of past Universal Kids programming (mainly from 1996 to 2005), as well as classic Universal library cartoons, and the Universal Family Network series, Exosquad. This new block will air on USA Network on Monday through Friday afternoons starting at 5:00-6:00 p.m. and on Sunday mornings starting at 7:00-9:00 a.m. The "Universal Nostalgia Express" block was launched on October 23, 2023. It was similar to "USA's Cartoon Express". The bumpers were a mix/mash-up of "different styles of animation" and live-action sequences. Characters from the original "USA's Cartoon Express" block also appeared in the bumpers. In February 2024, the "Universal Nostalgia Express" Sunday morning block now started at 7:15 a.m. because part of "Race to Survive: New Zealand" took up the 7:00 a.m. timeslot during that time.
