# ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' (1997-1999): Mama had a chicken. Mama had a cow. Dad was proud. He didn't care how! And you shouldn't either. This show was more of a toned-down ''[[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren and Stimpy]]'', but still had its share of surreal humor that felt equal parts ridiculous, gross, risque, and [[BlackComedy dark]] (the Devil, er, [[BigRedDevil Red Guy]] is a main character, after all) and showcased the [[ManOfAThousandVoices impressive vocal range]] [[Creator/CharlieAdler of its lead voice actor]]. Creator Creator/DavidFeiss directed every episode himself.

Fondly remembered by the children of TheNineties and (to a lesser extent) [[TheTwoThousands the early-to-mid 2000s]], "Cartoon Cartoons" was the name used by Creator/CartoonNetwork to distinguish its original comedy programming from older AnimatedSeries imported from other sources, such as Creator/WarnerBros or Creator/HannaBarbera. It's generally agreed upon that the first Cartoon Cartoon was ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', despite it premiering in 1996, a full year before the brand was introduced: that said, like most of the series below, it originated with a short produced for the ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow''. Plus, CN itself counted it as one, so who are we to argue?

# ''WesternAnimation/GrimAndEvil'' (2001-2002): Created by Creator/MaxwellAtoms.

The show later split up into:

Starting in 2003, Cartoon Network began phasing out the brand, with the last cartoon to be filed under it being ''WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne''. Re-runs of the Cartoon Cartoons aired on ''The Cartoon Cartoon Show'', from September 2005 to June 2008. ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' would be the last Cartoon Cartoon to end, completing its ten-year run with a MadeForTVMovie in November 8, 2009, though a ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' movie would be commissioned by Cartoon Network India and produced in 2011. Cartoon Network now refers to its in-house productions simply as "Cartoon Network Originals". The name would later be revived as the new name for Cartoon Network Studios' [[https://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/cartoon-network-debuts-cartoon-cartoons-shorts-program/ internal shorts program]] in 2021.

# ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' (2001-2003): Created by Creator/DaveWasson. An orphan boy from the early 2000s with a love for history is visited one night by two bumbling TimeCops (one, a phaser-crazy, overly-masculine Texan; the other, a snarky, effeminate British robot) and escapes his hellish childhood in an inner-city orphanage by coming to the future and helping the duo on their mission to make sure historical events happen correctly; that said, isn't isn't an EdutainmentShow, so don't expect ''Time Squad'' to actually teach you anything outside of Otto's exposition.
