Dexter's Laboratory
Dexter's Laboratory is an American animated science fiction comedy show for kids made by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The show is about Dexter, a boy genius who has a secret lab full of his inventions. He fights all the time with his sister Dee Dee, who always gets in despite his best efforts to keep her out, and with his archrival and neighbor, Mandark. The first two seasons of the show have two more episodes: Dial M for Monkey, which is about Dexter's pet lab monkey who becomes a superhero, and The Justice Friends, which is about three superheroes who share an apartment. Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-animated Barbera's shorts show World Premiere Toons. He based it on student films he made while attending the California Institute of the Arts. Four shorts were made and shown on Cartoon Network in 1995 and 1996 before viewer ratings convinced the network to order a 13-episode first season, which started on April 28, 1996. By 1999, 52 episodes and a TV movie had been made, and Tartakovsky left the show to work on his other projects, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. In 2001, the network brought the show back with a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios. After 26 more episodes, the show ended on November 20, 2003.
