The last season was instead Two Shorts, with a ''Super Mario World'' cartoon and an 11-minute Captain N cartoon (usually one of the 22-minute episodes from the earlier seasons butchered into 11 minutes).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', though it was more loose with the structure sometimes.

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', ABA with ''USAcres'', also known as ''Orson's Farm'' overseas. Originally aired in an hour-long form on Saturday morning, making it a Six Shorts format, but it was really two ThreeShorts episodes grafted together.

There were three kinds: as mentioned above, there was a "Garfield Quickie" based on the Garfield strips, a "US Acres Quickie" based on the US Acres strip, and a special kind named "Screaming with Binky", to inform viewers that the show wasn't over in the usual half hour, and starred [[MonsterClown Binky the Clown]].
** The first season was only aired for a half-hour. Starting with Season 2 onwards, the show was aired for an hour.

** And the episode "Trilogy of Error," where the 3 seemingly irrelevant plots of Homer accidentally cutting a finger off, Lisa trying to get to a science fair, and Bart and Milhouse discovering a mafia's illegal fireworks ring are connected more and more throughout.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants'' generally uses the two 11-minutes shorts format. A few episodes, including the pilot, used the three shorts format, and 22-minute episodes are considered specials.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' followed the ABCA format. The "Rocky" segments took up the beginning and the end, the B would be "Mr. Peabody" and C would either be "Fractured Fairy Tales," "Aesop and Son," or "Dudley Do-Right."

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther''. [=ABA=], with the B being either an ''WesternAnimation/TheInspector'' short, or a less well-known Creator/DePatieFrelengEnterprises cartoon like ''WesternAnimation/TheAntAndTheAardvark'' or ''TheBlueRacer''.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did this with a Halloween special, wherein they recreated three Creator/StephenKing novels with the Family Guy characters. They did ''StandByMe'', ''{{Misery}}'', and ''TheShawshankRedemption''. The surrounding material involved Peter introducing them, and reminding us all that Creator/StephenKing is the greatest author of all time.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' aired in this format. First was ''My Little Pony'', and then one of three other shows. ''My Little Pony'' was the only segment to get aired every week. The other properties, ''Glo Friends'', ''Moondreamers'', and ''The Potato Head Kids'' (yes, really) alternated each week.
* Every show aired on KideoTV, which included ''WesternAnimation/TheGetAlongGang'', ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'', ''Anime/{{Ulysses 31}}'', ''WesternAnimation/LadyLovelylocks'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Popples}}''. When the shows were re-run on their own and/or released on video, they each became 2 stories.

** A later series, ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids'', started off using the A-B-A format, with Tom and Jerry as the A and either Droopy or Spike and Tyke as the B. As it went on, however, they stopped using the format and just put together three shorts at random, though there was usually at least one Tom and Jerry short.
* ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood airs in the two shorts format. Most of the time, the episodes will have the same theme. "Prince Wednesday Goes to the Potty/Daniel Tiger Goes to the Potty" and "Thank You, Grandpere Tiger!/Neighborhood Thank You Day" are two examples of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverlandPirates'' aired in a three shorts format, but unlike most shows, the B segment wasn't in the middle. Two Jake segments aired first, and the B-segment, a Neverland Pirate Band music video, aired last.
