Miguzi was a programming block from
Cartoon Network that ran on the weekday after-school slot from 2004 to 2007, when it died ingloriously and was briefly replaced by Master Control. Created by Cartoon Network’s Williams Street division, the folks that brought us
Toonami and
[adult swim], it was created to be a lighter-toned successor to
Toonami (while Toonami itself was reconfigured to a Saturday night block), running action shows from
America, France, and Japan.The animated hostess here was
Erin, a young
CGI girl with black hair and a yellow jumpsuit who, at the start of the block, was transported underwater and into a sunken alien spaceship by an enormous red fish. There, she chills out and watches the shows along with a group of mutant sea creatures and robots, none of whom speaks but all of whom have rudimentary personalities.
The block began as a sort of
Replacement Scrappy, having been brought in to appease the kids after Toonami was booted off the time slot and moved to Saturday nights, where it kept on going for a year or two before its heartwarming finale. Although it was originally not very popular, especially with longtime
Cartoon Network fans, Miguzi grew on viewers soon enough, especially because it ran popular shows like
Teen Titans and
Yu-Gi-Oh! as well as having introduced new "classics" such as
Code Lyoko and
Totally Spies!
