Cartoon Cartoon Fridays



A weekly Cartoon Network program/block which showcased the network's original animated comedy series or Cartoon Cartoons. The block would usually be hosted by a character from a Cartoon Cartoon series and interact with other stars and introduce the shows.

It ran from June 1999 to May 2003. A live-action reboot, simply called Fridays, ran from October 2003 to February 2007.

Cartoon Cartoon Fridays provides examples of:

 * Art Shift: Dexter's design and voice changed in December 2001 to reflect his show's 2001 revamp.
 * The 1999-2000 season featured live-action people in various roles for the show bumpers. The 1999 Cartoon Cartoon Weekend had the cartoon characters in their places (i.e. Weasel as the weatherman, Dexter as the auctioneer, etc.).
 * Crossover: Fred Jones unexpectedly showed up when Edd was hosting.
 * Also, the mysterious intruder in the Halloween special turned out to be.
 * Do Not Adjust Your Set: Mojo Jojo took over the network's transmission to show that he's taken over CCF. At one point, he interrupts the theme song to remind the audience he's taken over.
 * The Kids Next Door often interrupted the show in the weeks leading up to their show's premiere.
 * Interactive Narrator: Characters would often interact with Mr. Announcer.
 * Naked People Are Funny: Dexter once transported himself to the set via a transporting invention. It failed to take his clothes with him.
 * Roger Rabbit Effect: The four music videos shown during the Cartoon Cartoon Weekend Summerfest in 2002 and CCF's final year.
 * Scenery Porn: The intro to the 2003 Re Boot, showing a tour of the Cartoon Network office building with many characters, some of whom weren't shown regularly on the network. It received a slight update in 2005.
 * Shout-Out: The closing segments for Mojo and Dexter's 2001 hosting stints are like how Saturday Night Live closed at the time.
 * The Christmas Special is filled with refrences to many beloved holiday specials.
 * Story Arc: Some of the hosting segments. For example, the Time Squad accidentally knocking down the six stacked monitors and spending the night putting them back in place.
 * Super Bowl Special: In January 2001, with a tailgate party honoring Cartoon Network's Big Game XXIX: Bugs vs. Daffy special the following day
 * The Unintelligible: Sheep. Probably why he only hosted once.
