Cartoon Network related pages | Cartoon Network is a cable television created by Turner Broadcasting which primarily shows animated programming. The original American channel started on October 1, 1992 with Looney Tunes being its first-ever aired program. From then on Cartoon Network has launched many other shows including Naruto, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Toonami and many other TV series. Though Cartoon Network is mainly child-based, a more mature block titled Adult Swim has been released. Also for pre-school-aged kids, Tickle U has been released, but ended up being largely phased-out.
By the end of the 1980s, Ted Turner's cable-TV conglomerate had acquired the MGM film library (which included the older catalog of pre-1948 color Warner Bros. cartoons), and its cable channel Turner Network Television had gained an audience with its film library. In 1991, it purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions and acquired its large library as well as most of the Ruby-Spears library. Cartoon Network was created as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation, and the initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of re-runs of classic Warner Bros., MGM , and Hanna-Barbera cartoon like The Jetsons and The Flintstones, with many Hanna-Barbera TV cartoons like Wally Gator used as time fillers. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio — Down With Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-and-mouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. Today, only Tom and Jerry remains on the network. See also | |
