 It is best known among the anime community for its now deceased Toonami block, which helped increase the popularity of Japanese animation in America during the 10 years it aired.The overnight schedule is a separate block called [adult swim], which is considered separated in Nielsen ratings, although still run by CN executives. Once again praised for many of its original programs (even the weirder ones), Adult Swim is also well-known for bringing more exposure to mature anime series as well as rescuing other shows from death or complete obscurity.Around the mid-2000's, the network began to incorporate live action shows as it attempted to compete with other "kid's" channels, such as Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. A number of animated originals as well as the Toonami and Miguzi blocks were cancelled or ended, only to be replaced by a number of live action programs, which came to a head when CN Real, a block of live-action reality shows and scripted series, was created. This block was cancelled shortly after its creation, as low ratings and a huge backlash from the animation community and older fans prompted a return to the network's signature "cartoon" programming.The New Tens have been a renaissance for the network when it comes to returning to its roots of airing animated originals with the network premiering a large number of new animated series to cater to a variety of interests, with even more to come. Classics like Dexters Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls have also found their way back to the schedule after being relegated to Boomerang. And speaking of variety of interests, the network has been taking a subtle change in demographics as displayed by its recent crop of TV-PG rated shows starting with Canadian imports Sixteen and Total Drama Island and continuing with the originals Adventure Time and Regular Show. Quite unusual considering that programs that go above the TV-Y7 rating were a rarity even during the network’s peak popularity, but it seems like that they have started to take note of the growing Periphery Demographic.In addition, a new crossover Mascot Fighter called Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion was released in June 2011 on the Nintendo 3DS, and an upgraded version on PS3/360 in November.This network has made the following original series:
