We learned last summer that Cartoon Network & Adult Swim were planning on revealing our "Checkered Past." Kicking off last August, the two-hour mini-block (weekdays starting at 5 pm ET) takes viewers on a trip down animation memory lane for a lineup of edgy CN originals that have had some serious staying power over the years. For the first go-around, we had Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. Well, it's clear from the numbers that came in that you approved – big time. But to make sure that things stay fresh, Cartoon Network announced some new series that are going to be folded into the mix – David Feiss' Cow and Chicken (1997-1999) & I Am Weasel (1997-2000), and Maxwell Atoms' Evil Con Carne (2003-2004).
Here's a look at the post from Cartoon Network confirming the three newest additions to the "Checkered Past" family:
A Look at "Checkered Past" from Cartoon Network & Adult Swim
"Animation can both speak to multiple age groups in the moment and also find new audiences across decades. The early Cartoon Network originals—like 'Dexter's Laboratory' or 'Courage the Cowardly Dog' are examples of shows that do both," shared Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Boomerang & Discovery Kids, in a statement to Deadline Hollywood when the time change was first announced.
Beginning on August 28, 2023, and running Monday through Friday, viewers will be treated to a selection of Cartoon Network's beloved classics, such as Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and others under the banner of "Checkered Past." On Saturdays, the 6 pm hour will be set aside to spotlight current TV-PG originals such as Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and My Adventures With Superman. As for Sundays, viewers will continue to see those "Acme Night" family-friendly film screenings running from 6 pm to 9 pm (with the rest of the Adult Swim schedule expected to stay as is).
