* Creator/CartoonNetwork is itself this, compared to its competitors: Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and the Creator/DisneyChannel. While those channels aren't above the odd adult joke, CN revels in pushing the boundaries of what a "kids show" is - Most CN shows that have started airing in the early 2010s have been rated TV-PG instead of the usual TV-Y7 (as of 2015 though, most of their new series now use the latter rating). As far as Creator/CartoonNetwork shows go, these shows are darker than the usual fare:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' was pretty dark and edgy compared to Disney's normal animated television fare to begin with, but it was definitely darker than the show Walt Disney Television Animation originally developed as an adventure-comedy in the same vein as Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' ("Gummi Bears with edge" being the original concept). After Michael Eisner passed on the original development, Tad Stones (the creator of ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'') suggested to the then director of series development, Creator/GregWeisman, reimagining the series with a "dramatic male lead" and leaning into a "Beauty and the Beast" relationship with the human ally (Disney's own ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' was still doing well in theaters at that time). After many months of redevelopment (and support from Creator/JeffreyKatzenberg), the series took on its more familiar tone and Eisner gave ''Gargoyles'' the green light in the fall of 1992. Given the timing, it's possible the success of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' was a factor, and indeed Michael Reaves and Frank Paur, who had both worked on that show, were ultimately brought on to work on ''Gargoyles'' as, respectively, story editor/lead writer and producer (showrunner) alongside Weisman (who stepped down from his original director of series development position to remain working on the show). In the end, however, ''Gargoyles'' may have been a tad too dark and edgy for Disney: it is the only show of the Disney Afternoon run to not have "Produced by Walt Disney Television Animation" as the first of its end credits.
