Explaining the merger

Following the AfD discussion, I have merged the programming list into this article. I did not include the former programming, because it was unsourced and consisted almost entirely of reruns. I obviously did not include the "upcoming" programming, since it was unsourced most likely untrue. Foxnpichu (talk) 11:41, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Idea

If Cartoonito succeeds, will it get its own channel? I think Cartoonito will take HBO Family (& Kids) channel space. HBO Family & Kids will be absorbed/merged into HBO Max Kids & Family. MegaSmike46 (talk) 04:28, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I hope so!

The countries and broadcasts areas need to be slightly reorganized. 2601:152:4400:7B60:700F:24BA:992:5BD6 (talk) 20:55, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Actualcpscm (talk) 22:32, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Beginnings (1992–1996)

After Turner Broadcasting System's Cartoon Network launched in 1992, it inherited several libraries through the Turner Entertainment Unit. As a result, the network began broadcasting several programs (e. g. Warner Bros. Cartoons, MGM Cartoons, Hanna-Barabara, and Ruby-Spears). The lineup included the 1980s & '⁠90s HB shows aimed at a slightly younger audience, such as Shirt Tales, The Kwicky Koala Show, Pound Puppies, and The Flintstone Kids.

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and Tom & Jerry Kids arrived shortly after their initial runs on ABC and FOX. The network even aired The Banana Splits and Friends, a live-action hybrid variety show (comprised of Banana Splits Adventures, Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Gulliver).

Although Cartoon Network established itself as the first animation-driven network, it was still open to experimentation for its original series. Although including younger audiences, their syndicated programs needed to meet traditional educational standards.

Anthology programs (1996–2002)

In 1996, Cartoon Network decided to create a Sunday morning block of preschool programs. The series featured Big Bag, a live-action/puppet television program made by Sesame Workshop, Small World, a children's animated anthology show/variety show, and Cave Kids (starring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm).

Small World aired in several countries (except Japan, China, and Korea). In the USA, it aired acquired programs such as Pingu, Mr. Men and Little Miss, and The Babaloos. Some were analogies of books such as Christopher Crocodile, Anytime Tales, and Miffy (which later received a cartoon on Noggin & Nick Jr.).

In 1997 (just after Turner Broadcasting System merged into Time Warner), Warner Bros. Animation announced Baby Looney Tunes, an original preschool series inspired by pre-existing merchandise. However, it wouldn't arrive for some time. 2601:152:5082:19F0:45C:6834:DAE1:690B (talk) 01:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
