5----
6* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' was everywhere on the network. Being among the channel's earliest hits, the show frequently aired several marathons throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, such as "Back to Bedrock" or the "Labor Day Fred-Athon".
7* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', even moreso than ''The Flintstones''. This show and almost all of its multiple incarnations completely dominated the network in the late 1990s and throughout the 2000s, with the [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou original series]], ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies'', ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' and later ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' being the most prominent. It seemed like if a show wasn't ''The Flintstones'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', a show on Creator/{{Toonami}}, or one of the popular Creator/CartoonCartoons, it was eventually bumped for more ''Scooby-Doo''.
8** When the show inexplicably re-surged in popularity, Cartoon Network took advantage of it which resulted in marathons such as 1999's heavily advertised ''WesternAnimation/TheScoobyDooProject'' and the 2002 Saturday evening ''Scooby-Universe'' block. Several of the television and direct-to-video movies aired on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theatre pretty often. Whenever there was a "Toon Extra" playing, you could also expect an airing of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMysteries'' at least 50% of the time. Lastly, special airings of WesternAnimation/LaffALympics were aired under the original blanket title of [[WolverinePublicity Scooby's All-Star]] Laff-A-Lympics.
9** It even got to the point where this became lampshaded throughout the network, with Cartoon Cartoon Fridays occasionally poking fun at this. If these events weren't the result of Scooby actually becoming the [[http://www.toonzone.net/forums/cartoon-network-cartoon-forum/269798-anyone-remember-when-scooby-doo-became-president-2000-a.html#.UXgUyaI3vIc president]] of Cartoon Network during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3TwltByfs&list=PL12689BDFDC753F5D 2000 presidential campaign]], this may have helped it.
10** Add a further comment to the ''Scooby-Doo'' part for Cartoon Network: for a while they would also take any moment they could to play ''Scooby-Doo'' movies at ''any'' chance they could. That and ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest''.
11*** Ironically, since 2010, Scooby's prominence on the CN lineup has decreased somewhat. In recent years, the only Scooby-related series that have aired include ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' and occasional reruns of ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou''. ''Scooby-Doo'' movies still air occasionally, but most of the time, they are the more recent ones. And instead of heavily advertising their TV premieres and giving them primetime slots, they usually just premiere them quietly during school hours. CN did take to airing ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndGuessWho'', which was otherwise exclusive to the Boomerang app, but dropped it after a few weeks.
12** For the summer of 2006, the UK version of Boomerang held a ''Scooby Summer'' for the entirety of the UK summer holidays. Every waking hour in the schedule would be filled with nothing but ''Scooby-Doo'' reruns and movies. At the time, it might have been the longest marathon of any cartoon ''ever'', complete with adverts making it seem like it was the viewers' fault ("you begged," they enthused, "you pleaded!"). At the time, such an event was rare, but it's more commonplace nowadays due to the popularity of streaming services like Netflix, where channels try and rival against it with "Binge-watch" marathons.
13*** Even today, as of 2011, Boomerang will be having a "Scooby Week" or two, using excuses such as Easter break and midterms.
14** Ever since the summer of 2016, ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool'' is aired once a month as a weekday morning movie. Sometimes, Boomerang will air it as well.
15* Until 2017 when all of the Warner Bros. Animation shows were moved to Boomerang except for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' was frequently aired on Cartoon Network (with a couple breaks) being one of the only classic cartoons (besides the aformentioned Sccoby Doo, Where Are You!) to still air on Cartoon Network during the 2004-2010 era until ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' came back in 2009. In fact, 2018 was the first year no ''Tom and Jerry'' reruns aired on the network - that was 26 years of the channel's existence where ''Tom & Jerry'' was still airing at least occasionally.
16** This is also true for ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales'' which had a mostly permanent slot ever since it debuted on Cartoon Network in 2011 until it left in 2017.
17** Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014''. It had a 1 year hiatus on Cartoon Network before being moved to Boomerang's streaming service. It briefly returned in 2019 before being removed again.
18** The former treatment of Tom and Jerry on the main network is not even close to Boomerang's treatment which is stated below.
19* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost'' was almost always very prominent in the network's history. Space Ghost, Zorak, Moltar, and '''especially''' Brak seemingly existed as ''the'' mascots for the network as a whole from the mid-90s into the early 2000s. In that time, the characters were given 4 separate shows (including reruns of the original series, 5 if one counts Moltar hosting the action block Toonami, and 6 if one counts the revival of Cartoon Planet as its own thing), 3 spinoffs, and at least 3 specials (''A Space Ghost Christmas'', ''Space Ghost's World Premier Toon-In'', and ''Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak''). ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'', the network's first fully-produced original series, was their original longest runner before Ed, Edd n Eddy dethroned it (and even then, a web series managed to push it a bit longer than EENE). Even when their shows were cancelled, Cartoon Network still gave them prominent roles in advertising. Toonami's return in 2012 even coincided with the return of WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet (with Brak and Zorak returning as hosts). And when C. Martin Croker (the voice of Zorak and Moltar) died unexpectedly in 2016, Adult Swim interrupted its line-up that night to air the first episode of ''Coast to Coast'', and the Toonami crew produced a segment where TOM receives a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJLDK8j_HnA message from Moltar]] (who was the first host of Toonami before TOM 1 was created) saying that he is returning to his planet forever (and bragging that he was the superior host), ending with a memorial slide for Croker.
20** It also helps that ''Coast to Coast'' was the show which kicked off the network's own original programming, and that many of the network's more popular blocks (Toonami, [adult swim], Cartoon Cartoon Fridays) evolved from spin-offs of that series.
21* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' was treated pretty well during its run on Cartoon Network. It ran for four years, got tons of promos (including some where the Warner siblings went into other shows on the channel) and had a few marathons, mostly during the Thanksgiving season.
22* In the 1990s and the early 2000s, you couldn't go a day without seeing ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' at least 5 to 6 times a day as they were on almost ''every'' anthology show on Creator/CartoonNetwork at that point. But the commercial failure of ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' eventually put the shorts (and the whole franchise for that matter) on the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork opposite end of the spectrum]].
23** When the original shorts returned in November 2009, Cartoon Network didn't slack in promoting their return with nearly every commercial break containing a promo. They also got not one, but '''TWO''' marathons in the same year and ''another'' one on New Year's Day 2010.
24* Cartoon Network also loved playing ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' back in the '90s and would show day-long marathons to commemorate holidays where Scooby Doo didn't seem to fit, such as Easter and President's Day.
25* Creator/CartoonCartoons. Why else would they have [[Creator/CartoonCartoonFridays their own block]]?
26** From 1999 to 2002, you could not go one day without seeing ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'', or ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' playing on the network. All of these shows were practically the mascots of the network during that time, to the point where the network launched Cartoon Cartoon Weeknights in 2000, which aired the shows from 7:30pm to 8:30pm. In Johnny Bravo's case, it helped him earn the short-lived all-request cartoon series, JBVO. When Cartoon Network finally stopped airing runs of ''Looney Tunes'' in 2004 they were replaced by ''Dexter'' reruns.
27** ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' is certainly worth a mention. Since its debut in January 1999 and all throughout its run, the show was well-liked by the network, always receiving good advertising. It eventually became the network's longest-running series, airing a total of 70 episodes running through 5 and 1/4 seasons across ten years and was, eventually, the last Cartoon Cartoon still airing new episodes. And the best part? It was even given a GrandFinale in the form of a TV movie that wrapped up most plot threads and gave the titular characters a very happy ending. Needless to say, the series was admired and still remains a well-respected favorite among both viewers and the network.
28** ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' became the new 'it' show during and after the reign of ''PPG'' and ''Dexter's Lab'', then, even after it was cancelled, it came back sometime during the late 2000s and could be seen airing every day for a time during 2010 and early 2011, though that's since ceased. It has since returned in 2013 as part of Cartoon Network's regular programming. For some reason, ever since ''Courage'' was rerun, "The Curse of Ramses" would show more often than any other episode by a substantial margin.
29** Also, in the mid-2000s, they would show nothing but ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' back to back on Saturday mornings. Considering the series was greenlit for its pilot being the winner of the 2001 Big Pick Weekend, it's rather justified. The show would eventually replace ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries'', ''Looney Tunes'', and other classic cartoons as "Toon Extras" in early 2004. The show aired reruns for years after the show's end until 2013 before it moved solely to WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet where it stayed until its demise.
30** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6juEOmOaYVk A commercial bumper]] for Cartoon Network once lampshaded how the Cartoon Cartoons dominated the network during their peak, as [[TakeThatScrappy Scrappy-Doo goes on a long, angry rant over how he feels like he's being shafted in favor of them.]]
31-->'''Scrappy:''' They're the kings and queens of this network, and they ''know'' it!
32* The original ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' used to be like this. The sequels, on the other hand, tend to only be shown a couple times a week.
33** It's a different story in the UK, as (along with ''Chowder'' and ''Johnny Test'') ''Ben 10'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' dominate the channel. It's got to the point where the late evening 'Cartoon Cartoon' show now consists of nothing but ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' and ''Alien Force'' reruns.
34** It happened in France as well during 2012, where ''Alien Force'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' were present 50% of the time.
35** An odd example with ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', which has daily slots on Boomerang, despite still being in production on Cartoon Network proper until 2014.
36* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''. In addition to weekly marathons, it was used to round out most 15-minute blocks left over after movies. This died down around its sixth season, however, to the point ended up on the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork opposite end of the spectrum]].
37** One 15-minute block was "left over" on purpose. During the premiere of ''Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions'' the entire prologue was cut, purposely leaving enough space for an ''Adventure Time'' repeat at the end. This caused many plot holes in the movie, and [[http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TPCi_not_happy_about_Cartoon_Network_movie_cut upset TPCi]] as this was done without their consent.
38** Both of the ''[[GenderBender Fionna and Cake]]'' episodes were ''heavily'' promoted, countdown clock and all. The CN site even changed the link with Finn's face on it to Fionna's during its premiere week! It even has its own web game and DVD now, the ads for both being commonly seen.
39** They also aired a marathon leading up to the series finale on September 3, 2018, without a single Teen Titans Go rerun in sight.
40* For the CN Real block, the scheduling wasn't so bad; the live-action shows mainly stayed within the block. However, they were endlessly promoted over the cartoons that made up the vast majority of the channel's airtime, and the kicker was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwlb2gGEk54 a video featuring Andrew W.K.]] proudly proclaiming that Cartoon Network was more than just cartoons.
41* On April 1, 1997, Cartoon Network aired an 12 hour unannounced marathon called Screwy Squirrel Day consisting of the ''WesternAnimation/ScrewySquirrel'' short "Happy Go Nutty". Yes, they only aired that one short and aired it '''60 TIMES'''. The joke was Screwy Squirrel took over the channel. This marathon was not very well-received and Cartoon Network never did a stunt like this again.
42** On April Fools Day 2012, they [[HistoryRepeats managed to sneak in Screwy Squirrel again]] marking the first time Screwy Squirrel aired since 2002 on ''[[WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons The Tex Avery Show]]'' and the first time a Tex Avery cartoon aired since {{WesternAnimation/Droopy}} left in 2004. Instead of "Happy Go Nutty", they instead played "Screwball Squirrel".
43* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' was hit with this from the instant it premiered -- CN started airing it multiple times per day, every day of the week, even though ''there was only one episode.'' Ironic, given that CN stopped caring halfway through the second season (of course, the overexposure might have had something to do with that).
44* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' seemed to be this as well, in that, like ''Adventure Time'' above, its "Merrie Melodies" segments were occasionally used to round out the minutes after other shows. Also, like ''Gumball'', there was a countdown bug on the screen the day it premiered. After the show premiered, the network ran the show almost every day after the first episode aired, often twice in one day, ''even though only one episode had aired''. Also, during the 4th of July weekend of 2011, the network aired random episodes of the show that were supposedly made up until that point, along with random airings of classic ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts, ''Film/SpaceJam'', and ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' in continuous loops.
45** Back in the day, they used to have "June Bugs", a 72-hour block in June, consisting of nothing but WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoons. The final regular June Bugs marathon was in 2002 (excluding the "June Bugs" marathons on Boomerang in 2003 and 2004), until it got a semi-revival in 2013.
46** ''WesternAnimation/{{Wabbit}}'' started to get this treatment as well, with Cartoon Network dedicating weekday afternoons to nothing but it and ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa''. This would die down for both shows, ''[[ScrewedByTheNetwork significantly]]''.
47* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' got hit with this during its heyday. CN gave it major promotion, marathons, a prime time premiere slot, daily reruns, merchandising, and even a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw6yFUGBuFU parade float]] for the UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade in 2005 (with Music/PuffyAmiYumi themselves performing!). By the third season, however, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork they stopped caring about it]].
48* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' was transmitted day and night. In Latin America, it was transmitted during weekends (the time of the day kids are mostly free) for four hours in a row. It's one of the reasons why such a light-hearted series could triumph during MediaNotes/{{the Dark Age|of Comic Books}}.
49* Small World was only aired on Sundays and Mondays at 5:00 A.M. on Cartoon Network in the United States, but the south of the border version, or in other words, Cartoon Network in Latin America, adored it, it was on every weekday at 7:00 A.M., and plus, there were even some shows that weren't on the American version of Small World, and they were even given their own individual half hour slots on the channel. For example, ''Literature/{{Franklin}}'' was on weekdays at 9:00 A.M., and weekends at 8:30 A.M.
50* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', seasonally. You won't find it in the Winter. Until 2015, when Spring/Summer came, it came back in full force with a new season. Heck, CN was actually willing to sacrifice an hour of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' of all things for previous ''Total Drama'' seasons to prepare for the new one.
51** During the second part of the fifth season, CN showed at least one new episode a weekday, sometimes even two, hyping it as a "Summer Showdown". The same would happen to the entirety of its sixth season.
52** If you happen to be near a TV in the afternoon you would still sometimes catch reruns of the first, second or third seasons in any order. This however stopped in 2015. The original series also surprisingly didn't get reran between 2016 and 2017, but returned for a brief time in late 2018, thus it used the stretched version, rather than the HD version. Reruns would continue until 2019, when it left the channel for good.
53** The SpinOffBabies show, ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'', is also getting this treatment. Thanks to high ratings that actually beat those of ''Teen Titans Go!'', it has plenty of reruns weekly.
54* ''The High Fructose Adventures of WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange''. Like with ''Gumball'', there was a "sneak peek" of a ''Film/StarTrek2009'' parody episode two weeks before it was to officially premiere. Said sneak peek episode went on to be rerun once a day for at least a week. Countdown bugs on the screen for the whole day of both the sneak peek ''and'' the actual premiere.
55* The American-Canadian ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' managed to cross this trope with PeripheryHatedom. Although one of the most widely despised shows on the network during its time on air, the series managed to last for 9 years with 6 seasons, was given reruns ''very'' regularly, and retained heavy advertising despite having many begging for its cancellation. These cries seemed to go unheard though, as its low budget allowed Cartoon Network to profit off the show's frequent airings with ease, even when the bare minimum of people were watching it. In 2014 however, CN would begin only airing it for one hour early in the morning in May, get rid of its slot on weekdays in June and July, and remove it completely by September. However, they then brought it back for a ''nearly all day'' Christmas Day marathon that year, presumably to burn off the last remaining episodes.
56* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' seems to have become this, mainly due to the success of its accompanying [[MerchandiseDriven toyline]]. It died down by February 2015; as of then ''Ninjago'' only reruns in some weekends in every two months, and episodes often premiere exclusively on the CN website.
57* ''Creator/{{Boomerang}}'' examples:
58** ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' has been aired on Boomerang since its launch and has had a permanent slot ever since. ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryComedyShow'' has been aired frequently since launch as well.
59** Ever since ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' returned to Boomerang in 2013, they have since treated it like Tom and Jerry and has a rather permanant slot as well.
60** At one point in the mid-2000's, Boomerang decided to devote weekdays and entire weekends to nothing but ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. It got so bad that if you heard the theme song ''one more freakin' time'' you'd scream. By early 2015, [[ScrewedBytheNetwork it was banished to the wee-hours of the morning]], before getting removed entirely in March 2017. It would return to the channel's regular line-up in July 2018, but was pulled a few months later. However, unlike most of the other Hanna-Barbera cartoons not named ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', reruns still occasionally pop up on Boomerang from time to time, with the show's most recent broadcast there being an all-day marathon of episodes centered on Fred that aired on Father's Day (June 20) 2021.
61** Boomerang used to be a place where older ''Creator/CartoonNetwork'' shows AdoredByTheNetwork went to thrive, with older shows and, for inexplicable reasons, ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' being thrown in.
62** For a while in the mid-2000s, Boomerang's weekdays were almost nothing but ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids'', ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'', with old ''WesternAnimation/WallyGator'' cartoons in between every show.
63** In early 2015, Boomerang could've been called "The Garfield, Tom and Jerry, and Scooby-Doo channel", with the original T&J shorts, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014 The Tom and Jerry Show]]'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'', and ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' taking up half of the weekday schedule altogether, and a little more on weekends.
64** From December, 1, 2014 until April 2, 2017, Boomerang played episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' during primetime so they could get modern Cartoon Network viewers to watch the channel.
65** Boomerang followed in Creator/KidsWB's footsteps starting in March 2015, by airing ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''' Indigo League Saga as many as eight times a day. They also aired nothing but ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' on weekday mornings and filled the dead hours with airings of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
66** From June 27, 2016 until May 27, 2019, whenever Creator/CartoonNetwork originals showed up on Boomerang, it was usually just the same shows and nothing else: ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', and to a slightly lesser extent, ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}''. And when another Cartoon Network original showed up on Boomerang, it was likely to be gone by the next month (sans, beginning in 2018, ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''), not unlike Creator/NickRewind.
67** Ever since it returned to the network in March 2017, Boomerang loves to play ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales'' several times a day. The problem with this is that the series only has 26 episodes which means that you often end up seeing the same episode a couple days after.
68** As of October 2019, if Boomerang isn't airing shows related to ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' or ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', then they're either airing ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic'', ''WesternAnimation/DorothyAndTheWizardOfOz'' or ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls'', with the occasional airing of ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 Ben 10]]'' or the remaster of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' added to the mix.
69** After the classic Cartoon Network originals left the channel in May 2019, Boomerang could easily be called "The Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry Channel" as they both took up almost ''12'' hours of Boomerang's weekday schedule and '''''12''''' hours on the weekend schedule ''combined''. But that's just the original shorts. That's without even bringing up ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction New Looney Tunes]]'', ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' (which only aired very early in the morning anyways), ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014 The Tom and Jerry Show]]'' or ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales'' into the discussion. Even Scooby-Doo had a bit of a decreased presence on the channel as the only Scooby show on the channel was ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' (the [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooDirectToVideoFilmSeries DTV movies]] still aired frequently however). {{Justified| Trope}}, since both series are beloved and [[ArchivePanic have more than enough content to warrant the treatment]].
70** However, Boomerang's over-adoration of ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Tom and Jerry'' eventually began to die down in September 2020, as ''Scooby-Doo'' got back the presence he used to have on the channel (including the returns of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou'', ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', and even ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndScrappyDoo'', an incarnation of the franchise that Boomerang hasn't featured on their regular line-up since 20'''14'''!), and the classic Cartoon Network originals returned to the channel's late-night timeslots, with the line-up currently consisting of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'', and even ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' (which hadn't aired on the channel since a couple of weeks prior to its January 2015 rebrand)!
71** The Canadian feed of Boomerang loves airing ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'', with the former airing 12 times a day and the latter airing 9 times a day.
72* For CN Asia viewers, it's ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' or ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther''. The entire afternoon is nothing but episodes of both, and all CN Originals (with the exception of Network Darlings ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'') are scheduled after ''midnight''; i.e. way past the bedtime of their target audience.
73** Say what you will, but ''Ben 10'' was this on CN Asia between 2008 to 2012. In fact, it aired almost 10 times a day, and new shows all premiered on it's sister channel Boomerang Asia instead, and new episodes airing between Tom and Jerry and Pink Panther reruns as well as Oggy and the Cockroaches (the only other show it adores- despite said show also airing on Disney, and now, even Nickelodeon). Word has it that one Malaysian entertainment company got the rights to the live show for the South East Asia region, and CN was spamming Ben 10 to drum up interest for the event as per their part of the agreement.
74** As of this writing, CN Asia really adores ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches''. It's a major {{facepalm}} because ''Oggy'' is also airing on Disney Channel Asia '''''and''''' Nickelodeon Asia, and on various country-specific terrestrial networks in the region like NTV7 in Malaysia and TCS Okto in Singapore.
75* Creator/AdultSwim at one point began airing ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}'' every weeknight at midnight while airing commercials stating it was getting low ratings and ''berating the viewers for not watching this awesome show.''
76** Adult Swim absolutely loves Creator/{{Fox}} reruns, specifically ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' and [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy any]] [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad show]] [[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow made]] by Creator/SethMacFarlane. Weekdays are ''King of the Hill'', ''Bob's Burgers'', ''The Cleveland Show'', ''American Dad'', and ''Family Guy'' for 7.5 of its 10 hours (including repeats). In one week, there is going to be 13 hours of ''Family Guy'', 10 hours of ''Bob's Burgers'', 9 hours of ''American Dad'', 8 hours of ''King of the Hill'', and 6 hours of ''The Cleveland Show'' for a total of 46 hours.
77*** As of 2019, the future is not so bright for Fox imports: ''King of the Hill'' and ''The Cleveland Show'' left for Comedy Central, and in 2021 both ''Family Guy'' and ''Bob's Burgers'' left for FX/Freeform (and they will get the newest seasons in the meantime, leaving Adult Swim only with episodes acquired prior to 2019). With ''American Dad'' having already [[ChannelHop moved to TBS]] in 2014, the Fox rerun farm era on Adult Swim is officially over. And with more and more original AS programming receiving recognition and even acclaim, maybe it's for the best.
78*** That is until Thanksgiving 2021, in which reruns of ''King of the Hill'' returned to Adult Swim, with it airing three times a night on weekdays and six times a night on weekends, with the last two hours of the schedule being a huge block of the show, totaling up to 27 episodes per week, even more than what ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' used to have on average. In addition, an all-night marathon of the show aired on Thanksgiving Day 2021, to celebrate its return to the network. This is all thanks to Creator/{{Disney}}, in which they ended up carrying a non-exclusive contract for the show to air on FXX after an unsuccessful run on Creator/ComedyCentral.
79** Adult Swim lost the rights to air ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' at the end of 2007. In the days leading up to New Year's Day 2008, they showed every episode in existence at that point in a row to give it a proper sendoff.
80** ''Futurama'' would later be the network favorite for Creator/ComedyCentral when they [[UnCancelled renewed the series]]. Not only did it get at least one airing every weekday at 1:30 (Along with the regular airing at 9:00 PM before ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''), but it also got another 26 episode renewal bringing the show's run up to 2013 along with promotion and a nice 10:00 PM slot.
81** Adult Swim has also been playing ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs'' pretty regularly, off and on, since 2002, sometimes even 4 or 5 days a week, despite the show only having 13 episodes.
82** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has consistently aired two eps a night at midnight on Adult Swim's weeknight block (excluding Thursdays) since at least 2010, and at one point was used as the lead-in to the entire Sunday night block. This status was eventually lampshaded by having AS execs Keith Crofford and Mike Lazzo appear in the 100th episode to fight the Robot Chicken during his rampage through the castle, [[spoiler: only to be easily killed. Crofford's last words:]]
83-->[[spoiler: The ratings we'll get for this will be '''''huge'''''...]]
84** Adult Swim appears to be going all-in on ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. As of May 10th, 2014, they show only one episode per week (on Sunday nights), but they show it twice per rotation, at 9 PM and Midnight. When combined with the repeat run, this means that the same episode of the show airs ''four times'' on the same day. They've been known to sacrifice a few airings of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' and even ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' just to show more ''Rick and Morty''. Of course, given the quality of the show, and the fact that, because of this, it's very easy to actually watch, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools very few people seem to be complaining about it]].
85*** Adult Swim loves airing the episodes "The Rickshank Redemption", "Pickle Rick", "The ABC's Of Beth" and "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate" (though the latter episode rarely airs when ''Rick and Morty'' airs before watershed, due to its TV-MA rating). One of these four will usually be played every week.
86*** In May 2018, Adult Swim picked up the series for an additional '''''[[SerialEscalation 70 episodes]]''''', the largest episode order ever given by the network. For comparison, it took ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'' over a decade to reach 70 episodes over six seasons.
87** Adult Swim loves airing the "Viewer Mail" episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' at least once per week, and they will occasionally air both episodes in the same week. They also seem to air "Brian In Love" at least three times a month. {{Justified| Trope}} for the latter as the episode was the ''very'' first ''Family Guy'' episode to air on Adult Swim.
88** Despite being ScrewedByTheNetwork near the end of its run, ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' has been loved ever since. Before it got screwed over, it had a great amount of promotion and was the ''very'' first show to air on Adult Swim. Ever since then, it has been made a constant favorite often starting or ending off the block. Even when it's removed, it almost always finds its way back on the schedule.
89** Lately, Adult Swim ''itself'' has become this to Cartoon Network as a whole. Its start time has continuously bumped forward, now extending into the early prime-time hours on some days, and some series that were originally intended for Cartoon Network have been aired on Adult Swim instead. With Adult Swim now taking up just over half of the schedule, and pretty much any programming that's not exclusively aimed at children being moved to it, one can seriously argue that Cartoon Network has become the children's block on Adult Swim rather than Adult Swim being the grown-ups' block on Cartoon Network.
90* Not in terms of advertising or premiere scheduling, but ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' was definitely a favorite as far as airtime went, airing several times a week. There have been points where it aired as much as ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' of all things. It would eventually get completely ScrewedByTheNetwork in 2012.
91* ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'', like other shows introduced to the network since 2010, got the sneak-peak hour-long episode which was then re-aired every day for a week, the countdown bug on the screen for the actual premiere, and, again, the currently most-recent episode is re-aired at least once every day for a week until the next episode premieres, to the point that, deciding reruns of the previous week's episode on Monday through Thursday was not enough, it briefly took over ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet'''s timeslot to air reruns every Friday as well - even though the whole reason they brought ''Cartoon Planet'' back in the first place was in preparation for the channel's [[MilestoneCelebration 20th anniversary]]. The show eventually took over WesternAnimation/DCNation's timeslot for reruns on Saturdays, with ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' on Sundays, while the actual block was on hiatus, and the network of course didn't tell any of the creators about this. All this before it took a ChannelHop to Creator/{{Netflix}}.
92* ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'':
93** The show premiered on June 13, 2011 along with ''WesternANimation/{{Sidekick}}''. Unlike the latter show which was removed in October 2012, Cartoon Network kept the show airing reruns even after season one ended. It got even better treatment in 2012, when the show started airing on weekends and airing a marathon every weekend on Boomerang. Eventually after ratings got low it was removed after season three finished airing, but continued to air every weekend on Boomerang.
94** The show was so beloved by Cartoon Network that when ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' were removed from the block, Almost Naked Animals replaced both of them.
95* Up until 2017, during the holidays, and by virtue of their ChristmasInJuly programming events, you could rarely turn on Cartoon Network without seeing ''WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer''. As mentioned on its Trivia page, it would air so much that if one hears the titular theme again, they'd scream. During the 2015 Christmas season, similar to the ''Total Drama Island'' example above, they'd be willing to sacrifice an hour of ''Teen Titans Go'' for surprise airings of the special. This ended when Cartoon Network lost the rights to the special to Creator/{{Freeform}} in 2017. The special also begun airing on Creator/{{AMC}} in 2021.
96** As part of Cartoon Network's partnership with Creator/KidsWB, they frequently aired the special on the block during the holidays. It got to the point where in 2004, half of December's programming was comprised of nothing but airings of ''Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer'', alongside other holiday specials.
97** After they lost the rights to Grandma, the ''Elf on the Shelf'' specials got this treatment. It's pretty common to see them air every weekend. On some days, they'll air twice.
98** On the topic of Christmas Specials, Cartoon Network used to frequently air ''WesternAnimation/OliveTheOtherReindeer'' throughout the 2000s and an occasional airing on Creator/{{Fox}} before they quietly stopped airing the special before TheNewTens rolled around.
99** To a smaller degree, Cartoon Network would do an occasional airing of the 1997 animated film ''WesternAnimation/AnnabellesWish'' during the late 90s and early to mid [=2000s=] before it was quietly removed from their Holiday programming block.
100* They had some sort of odd fixation to airing ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry: The Magic Ring'' on most weekends for nearly a decade since '''''2005'''''.
101* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'', and ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' were Cartoon Network's flagship shows during the mid-[=2000s=] by the time the network was entering its AudienceAlienatingEra. Reruns were shown almost all the time and they also got several marathons. Foster's was popular enough to have lots of merchandise, and like ''[=AmiYumi=]'' listed above, got a Macy's Parade float for three years (though the [[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} last appearance of the float]] was OvershadowedByAwesome).
102* ''Series/IncredibleCrew''. For every three minute commercial block (''especially'' on the sister channel, Boomerang), you could expect at least two ads for that show. It didn't go over well.
103* With Cartoon Network's flicks, ''Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'' has been aired '''a lot''', almost once every four to five weeks.
104** For what it counts, [[RepeatingAd even commercials for the films got a lot of airtime]] - to the point that the same commercial for ''Rodrick Rules'' would often play ''three or more times in a row''.
105* Prior to its premiere, Cartoon Network was ''seriously'' hyping up ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' as is pretty typical for first-run shows. On its premiere, forty-five minutes after the pilot episode, Cartoon Network even showed the pilot ''again,'' replacing ''WebAnimation/TheAnnoyingOrange'''s timeslot.
106* The UK channel loved airing nothing but ''WesternAnimation/TheFruitties'' and ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'' on weekday mornings until noon from the mid 90's to the mid 2000's.
107** Sometimes, this block would be followed by an hour of ''WesternAnimation/FishPolice''.
108* There was a time (years 2003-2009) when the UK feed of Cartoon Network almost every day between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. of UK time aired nothing but ''WesternAnimation/GadgetBoyAndHeather''.
109* Since the first special arrived in 2004, ''WesternAnimation/ScaryGodmother'' and its sequel special ''The Revenge of Jimmy'' are routinely aired on Cartoon Network every October. If Halloween is coming up CN can and will air both specials, though to a modest degree compared to certain other shows on the schedule. It helps that both specials are [[SoBadItsGood pretty]] [[GuiltyPleasures entertaining]], with voice actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup.
110* The movie ''Film/SchoolOfRock'' was adored by Cartoon Network in the mid-2000's. It aired at least once or more a month. Became HilariousInHindsight when a [[RecycledTheSeries regular series based on the movie]] was announced for Nickelodeon, a rival network, in 2015.
111* In 2010 and 2011, if they weren't airing ''The Garfield Show'' or ''Johnny Test'', they were most likely airing ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' or ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor''. The latter two especially, as they would air constantly in primetime, often at the expense of newer shows.
112* From its' April 2014 premiere up until the fall of 2015, Cartoon Network was obsessed with ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}''. Like ''Teen Titans Go!'', Cartoon Network would use any opportunity they could to hold "Clarence and Friends Sleepover" events, which were marathons mostly comprised of of ''Clarence'' mixed in with several of their other shows. They also showed a lot of promos for the show, starting all the way back before it even premiered.
113* The BENELUX version of CN had a special block on Sundays (that aired every Sunday, not only once a month) called ''60''. It is a block during which content of one single show would be shown for 5 hours straight (from 8 am to 1 pm), with no pauses in between. As you could guess it became the go to place to see anything that was ever adored by the network. A few shows on that block were ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' (which was the most common show to be featured on that block) and ''WesternAnimation/{{George of the Jungle|2007}}''. An extra mention could go to a certain commercial short for the block (in which they said that you could watch ''60'' instead of doing really boring activities) that has been used from 2008 to 2011 and aired during every single day of that show. They loved it so much that the next short used shots of it.
114** ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' was shown on the channel almost all day on sundays in 2002.
115** CN Poland also had this ''60'' block in years 2001-2008.
116** CN Europe had this until 2010. The last incarnation was known as ''Cartoon Toon Toon'' and the only show it had was the ''George of the Jungle'' remake, and the block was dropped after a month due to lack of interest.
117* ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' (like ''TTG'') had promos air on NBC and other non-Turner networks, though this depended on your cable or satellite provider as well.
118* Cartoon Network Japan is not exempt from this:
119** In 2015, the most played shows were ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman''.
120** In the early 2000's, the channel loved ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Toonsylvania}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', but as very few episodes had been dubbed in the language (and in the case of Garfield, had all ''[[ComicStrip/USAcres Orson's Farm]]'' segments omitted), this was a major problem, as the shows would cycle through all their episodes once a week.
121** As of January 2017, this seems to be averted, as each show has a fair balance, with the only shows repeating more than three times a day being ''Hanakappa'' [[note]] due to a Japanese law that says that TV stations need to show a certain amount of domestic programming shown on Japanese channels. Canada, Europe and Singapore also have similar laws. [[/note]] and ''Beware The Batman''.
122** In the morning hours on occasion, the first two ''Manga/TensaiBakabon'' shows would air an episode for a few times on weekdays. To those outside Japan, seeing Bakabon’s Papa with characters like Gumball is a strange sight on the SAME CHANNEL even.
123* Back in the mid to late 2000's, they loved airing ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans: Trouble in Tokyo'' and both of the ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' movies on random weekdays and weekends. Similar to the ''[=SpongeBob=]'' movie example on [[AdoredByTheNetwork.{{Nickelodeon}} the Nickelodeon page]], these movies were used as [[{{Filler}} filler]] for timeslots that couldn't fit more episodes of these shows.
124** In August 2017, the channel's love for ''Trouble In Tokyo'' returned. The movie was played at least once every week on Cartoon Network, and was usually the last thing shown for the day before [adult swim] came on.
125* Around November 2015, they loved airing ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds'' every single weekend, [[OutOfHolidayEpisode even when it was nowhere near Thanksgiving]] (when the movie takes place).
126** Speaking of Thanksgiving, the channel also tends to air Thanksgiving-themed episodes of their programming quite frequently as well, such as "Black Friday", an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' (this also applies to the UK feed). The other Thanskgiving themed-episode of the show also suffered the same problem prior to the creation of "Black Friday", as it was paired with "Serious Business", which was the most popular episode of the show at the time.
127** This also happens with other holiday-themed episodes of their other shows. A more recent example would be the ''Total [=DramaRama=]'' episode "Mother Of All Cards", which reran even after Mother's Day had passed.
128* ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' somewhat fell into this in the US. It aired for two and a half hours each day, and got a four-hour marathon on New Year's Eve. Though this could be a response to the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', as it was made by the same people behind said show.
129* Cartoon Network Canada loves ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheDayMyButtWentPsycho'', which is odd, considering that most Canadian children's channels adore shows that fulfill Canadian content quotas - ''Psycho'' is the only show listed that fills CanCon quota, and weirdly enough it's the one that airs the least. (This could be due to Cartoon Network Canada's status as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_B_services Category B service]], which has less [=CanCon=] requirements as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_A_services Category A service]] like Creator/{{Teletoon}} or Creator/{{YTV}}, but don't get guarantee of full-coverage of any large distributor in return.[[note]]In fact, some major distributors, like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaw_Communications Shaw Cable / Direct]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Cable Rogers Cable]] didn't even carry said feed of Cartoon Network until Teletoon Retro shut down.[[/note]])
130* ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' had been a staple of Cartoon Network's morning schedule ever since its premiere, to the point where Cartoon Network still aired it long after it stopped making new episodes. Not to mention Boomerang USA really really loves airing it on its schedule when they can to the point where it’s still on the schedule today.
131* Around mid-2016, the U.S. Cartoon Network showed three hours of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' each day. Typically, these marathons had some sort of theme to them, and each had its own title: "Fusions", "Attack from Homeworld", "Stevonnie Forever", etc.[[labelnote:note]]Similar to the ''Rick and Morty'' example above, almost nobody minded (and the marathons served as good recaps), but the titles were so blunt that they would spoil plot points, which ended up biting even more when someone got their hands on two marathon titles that spoiled both [[spoiler: Smoky Quartz's existence and Jasper's Corruption]], around the time when almost all of the episodes for the two ''hadn't even aired yet.'' [[/labelnote]]
132** They sometimes tend to have all-day marathons of the show when they don't feel like showing a ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' marathon. For example, on January 29, 2017, ''Steven'' ran all day to lure in Creator/{{Freeform}} viewers not interested in ''The 700 Club'' telethon [[note]] though considering how frequently Freeform tries to shoo away viewers from watching ''The 700 Club'', they probably weren't interested in the telethon either [[/note]].
133** On the Labor Day 2019 weekend, Cartoon Network ran every episode of the series followed by the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'' on September 2. The movie itself had advertisements air on other [=WarnerMedia=] channels, including the Creator/{{Toonami}} block on Creator/AdultSwim and CNN, showing that Warner definitely went all in on promoting it.
134* During the early 2010's, ''WesternAnimation/{{Planet 51}}'' was shown regularly on Cartoon Network for seemingly ''no reason'' at very random times of the day - that is, until the movie's broadcast rights went to Nickelodeon sometime around 2014.
135* During late 2016, one couldn't turn on Cartoon Network every weekend without seeing either ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' or ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' as the movie of the day. It got to the point where these two movies were played over and over for 12 hours on Thanksgiving Day.
136** The movies, not unlike ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', could suddenly pop up on a weekend, such as when they replaced a planned ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' marathon during one weekend. To add insult to injury, ''Steven Universe'' was still listed on digital guides at the ''same time Alvin'' was being aired.
137* ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'' was, before its four-month removal, Cartoon Network's third favorite show, running for at least three hours on the average weekday. On the weekend of the NBA Cup, there was an all-weekend marathon of the show.
138** They also adored the movie before the rights went to Nickelodeon. If there would be a movie showing on the channel on a particular day, about 60% of the time it would be ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''.
139** ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'' was once the channel's 3rd favorite show, taking up a good chunk of the airtime like ''Cloudy'' and ''Titans''. However, ''OK K.O.!'' stole that title in August 2017.
140* When it premiered in August 2017, Cartoon Network loved airing ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes''. At one point, the show got the second-most airings of any show on the channel (behind [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo you-know-what]]) and had promos aired during every show on the channel. It also was promoted on the channel many months prior to its premiere. However, by the end of the following year, the series got ScrewedByTheNetwork.
141* In early August 2017, Cartoon Network began showing HD reruns of the original ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' series during the 6am hour on weekdays. However, presumably due to high viewership, said repeats quickly spread to afternoons and early evenings a mere two weeks later. They were pulled after a year and the show has only been sporadically seen since.
142** At one point, the original ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' re-joined the lineup. It got to the point where more reruns of the original than the [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 reboot]] that was concurrently ''airing''.
143* Cartoon Network showed lots of love to ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'' before its official premiere. They aired three previews (which were actual full length episodes) in October, November and December 2017. Additionally, they also aired lots of reruns during that period, despite the show's official premiere not being until January 1st, 2018.
144* As of June 2020, if Cartoon Network isn't airing ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' or ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', then they're most likely airing ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek''. It gets frequent promotions for new episodes, gets marathons when the holiday doesn't really fit for ''TTG'' and gets more airtime a day than most of their other shows.
145** This increased the following June, when the show began to air ''four hours'' a weekday and two hours on Saturday, in addition to the two hour block on Sunday the show already had.
146* Cartoon Network in India love ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' as much as their own ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_No_21 Roll No 21]]'', to the point where they aired an all-day marathon of the show and its specials on Christmas Day.
147* The British feed of Boomerang loves showing ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/DorothyAndTheWizardOfOz''.
148** To fulfil European content quotas, the late night hours were once filled with nothing but reruns of ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' and ''[[Series/LazyTown [=LazyTown=]]]''. In 2020, they were replaced with the French series ''Taffy'', followed up with Cartoonito series ''Mush Mush and the Mushables'', which is pretty much the only thing Boomerang airs nowadays during the late-night slot.
149** In 2018, they had some sort of obsession with the non-Disney-owned ''Air Bud'' films (Including ''Air Buddies'' and excluding the first one). They frequently aired alongside the usual movies based on ''Scooby-Doo'' and ''Tom and Jerry'', however once Turner's license to air them expired they vanished off the schedule.
150* As of November 2017, Cartoonito UK's favourite show has been ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'', where they completely '''overdose''' it just to fulfil European content requirements. The show airs for around eight hours a day, sometimes even eleven or sixteen hours, maybe more. It's so bad that many shows that have only aired on Cartoonito for shy of a few months, like ''Series/SesameStreet'', ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids'' get moved around so much (or moved to the midnight slot) and eventually are removed permanently, just so that ''Fireman Sam'' can air more.
151*** Sometimes, Cartoonito airs month-long marathons of the series.
152** In the fall of 2015, ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' was shown for three hours a day, more than any other show on the channel, but now that's not the case, as the show was removed for more ''Fireman Sam''.
153** Their second most-adored show is ''Animation/MashaAndTheBear'', which tends to air every other hour as of June 2021. As of 2022 it airs a lot less but is still frequent on the schedule.
154* From 2007 to 2009, ''Anime/PokemonRangerAndTheTempleOfTheSea'' would be shown every other weekend.
155* ''WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland'' was given an all-day marathon, on both Cartoon Network and Boomerang) on the weekend that it aired. It aired through late night as well because Boomerang doesn't have Adult Swim.
156* Cartoon Network Latin America [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff loves]] ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', with it showing the series in the 2000's before Toonami was created ''and after'' it closed. It's somewhat justified seeing as Latin Americans simply love the series. This stopped somewhat with the release of ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' with the [[TheyChangedItSoItSucks infamous recasting]], but the channel would still show some of the movies during the nightime with the original dub. With the release of ''The Final Chapters'' with the original cast and ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', the channel still holds the franchise quite fondly.
157* Ever since the channel first got the rights to it in the mid-2000's, ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' has been frequently shown as a movie when Cartoon Network needs time to fill. It was common to see on the network from 2007 to 2011, when the network would air the film at least once (and sometimes even twice!) a week.
158** Their love returned in 2017 with the movie again airing once a week getting tons of promotion usually airing right before Creator/AdultSwim similar to the ''Trouble in Tokyo'' example above. When they brought it back, they even aired it uncensored!
159* Every Thanksgiving during the early 2000s, Cartoon Network would air a 24-hour marathon of ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'', due to UsefulNotes/TedTurner loving the movie. These marathons helped the movie to gain a cult following, since the movie was a box office bomb despite being acclaimed by critics.
160* Two episodes of ''WesternAnimation/VictorAndValentino'' play every other day as of March 2020: "It Grows" and "Suerte".
161* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'' used to have a lot of airtime during the mid-to-late 2000s, primarily the British version of the network, which makes sense considering the show was a British co-production. The UK channel even used to air reruns of the show at night well after it ended until around 2017, but this was to fulfill European content guidelines.
162* In the late 2010s, you couldn't go three weeks without seeing ''Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip'' 2 to 3 times a week. ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'' was treated this way for a while too.
163* The Creator/{{Cartoonito}} block on the US feed of Cartoon Network has been given this treatment. Previews of shows like ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocoyo}}'' and ''WebAnimation/LucasTheSpider'' began airing two months before the block even began, and there was constant promotion for the block on TV and even on certain social media sites. There was also an event to promote the block on the day it premiered. It's also worth noting that the block would take up most of Cartoon Network's weekday schedule when it eventually premiered. Unfortunately, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork this didn't last,]] as the block would be shortened beginning in January 2022, which also resulted in the weekend version of the block being retired.
164** Ever since it premiered, the block has adored ''WebAnimation/{{Cocomelon}}''. As of May 2022, it airs for 90 minutes each day and has constant promotion. Being that the show is popular among the target demographic of Cartoonito, this is understandable.
165** Another show adored by the Cartoonito block is ''[[Series/SesameStreet Mecha Builders]]''. Whenever there's a holiday going on, the block will run a marathon of the show. In addition, the show got a prime-time premiere alongside ''See Us Coming Together''.
166* Cartoon Network has enough faith in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonsLooniversity'' to show it at least twice a day on weekends. In addition, after "Soufflé, Girl Hey", the show was added to the weekday lineup despite having only aired eight of 13 episodes. It also had a marathon on Thanksgiving 2023.
