Here’s the Cartoon Network schedule for Monday, November 1 to Sunday, November 7, 2010.

First off, let's talk how many shows there are on the schedule. 34 SHOWS are on the schedule. in 2023, CN only airs about 13 shows a week (not including ACME Night or Cartoonito, but definitely better than how it was back in 2021). But let's take into account that the schedule is broken down into 4 sections at this time:

Section 1: Weekday Morning Anime

This was where the anime (Bakugan, Beyblade, Pokemon) aired, might also include some action cartoons (Ben 10, Hero: 108, Hot Wheels) aired.

Section 2: Old Cartoons during Mid-morning/Early Afternoon

You'll probably remember in your youth, when you were "sick", These shows aired during that time, semi-recent cartoons that ended aired at the time (Lazlo, KND, Gym Partner, Chowder), some imports (JT, Garfield), and Tom and Jerry.

Section 3: After School Cartoons

I would consider 2pm the start of the After-School hours, although some schools don't let kids out until 3pm. Some imports (JT, League of Super Evil), some older, but beloved, toons (Billy & Mandy, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage), and the 6pm hour was a rotating slot (This month had live action shows at the 6pm slot) that would be followed by some primetime shows, or Garfield.

Section 4: Primetime

This was the gem for CN at the time. Mondays had the newest hits, notably Adventure Time and Regular Show, other new toons like MAD and the underrated short-lived Robotomy, Canadian toons like Johnny Test and Total Drama World Tour, and reruns of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays were the days that they aired Live Action shows, Tuesday was the more serious side (Tower Prep, made by Batman writer Paul Dini), while Wednesday had the more wacky side (as in it felt like TruTV's live action of the time) of Live Action Shows (Destroy Build Destroy, Dude, What Would Happen?, and Hole in the Wall, the one that had the families, not the FOX version). Listen, I know Live Action didn't belong on CN, but I was 5, so I remember them fondly.

Thursday was a repeat day for Monday, as they previously had a new Thursday night block before Mondays were the night. but Friday is where all the new Action shows aired. Shows like Generator Rex, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, Star Wars: the Clone Wars, and Sym-Bionic Titan all aired on this night.

If you missed anything on Friday (besides Batman, but who didn't watch Brave and the Bold on Fridays), they all aired on Saturday Morning, in between anime like Pokemon, Beyblade, and Bakugan. Saturday also had a couple Pokemon episodes that led to a Pokemon Movie.

Speaking of Movies, Cartoon Network had them, Saturdays at 8pm is when the Flicks aired. This week, Flubber reran. (the movie with Robin Williams playing a Scientist who creates some Flying Rubber), that would later air next day at 7pm.

Also, yes, this was when back when CN had the 9pm hour. CN had that hour up until the next month. I really miss primetime CN, and how it was scheduled like this.

League of Super Evil - Monday at 2:30p

I’ve started watching The Mysterious Benedict Society before it gets thrown into the Disney Vault.

The aesthetic. Oh my. This series is so visually stunning. It’s as if Wes Anderson directed Tower Prep blended with Lemony Snicket vibes.

And. I. Love. It.

Shame on Disney for planning on removing this series (as well as many other movies and tv shows) from Hulu and Disney+. Fuck your greed.

Does anyone else remember Tower Prep from Cartoon Network?!? Or was that just a fever dream that my sister and I collectively hallucinated?!

[bitch-is-for-okay]

when will tower prep fandom blow up

[blackphoenixinvictus]

Do y'all remember these shows?

[cokehead-zeroed]

pre-shower thoughts: i am so glad that i have dragged @darkangel0410 into the tower prep fandom with me. finally i can scream about this show somehwere that is NOT the void!!!! criminally underrated show!!!!

[quietfounder]

I been thinking of there being a comic book IP and sometimes a shared universe with superheroes, vigilantes, super-powered individuals, etc., similar to Marvel and DC, but it’s from shows and movies that either been cancelled, been left on a cliffhanger, are underrated, are not well-known, or have more potential than was presented.

It can’t already be based off another series, comic book, or have even been successful, which is why The Incredibles isn’t on here.

There are a few more that I want to include but I’m not sure about some of them.

And I will give you credit if anyone decides to come up with a name for whatever this is.

Anyone else remember cartoon network's stint into live action with Tower Prep and that other show in the late 2000s? Both those shows slapped. I am still pissed about them being cancelled.

[swordlesbian-infj]

TIL that Jodi Balfour was in Tower Prep - that was my shit as a kid

[selfloathingextraordinaire]

Oh my god, I just got reminded of Tower Prep. It's been HOW many years?? I remember it being kind of cheesy like most of the live action shows of the time but I remember thinking how much potential it had.

And then it got cancelled cuz too many girls liked it like with Young Justice if memory serves.

Well. I finished the drawing of the three

[unexpectedbrickattack]

I really enjoy your art and talk! Feels so nice and calm while reading it <3

What do you think about Noisette?

Thats such a nice vibe to attribute to it; i really take that as a compliment 😊 Thank you so much!

Noisette is like. Shes your little sister (said as an eldest sibling, with so much love). Not a child just like sweet and happy go lucky and a menace in the best way possible. Peppino gets a bit tired of her antics; she cant really follow directions well and shes a bit loud and sometimes she says things that makes Peppino sit down and Breathe the anger away but like at the end of the day she is fun and she is HAVING fun and shes very good at what she does; making sweets and earning tips 💖🤲🏾 Peppino gets used to her, just like he gets used to EVERYTHING happening to him all of a sudden but shes definitely one of the nicer things to come out of the whole tower experience 💖

Managed to crack thru the brutal executive dysfunction & writers block with an old short one-shot idea. Hopefully more writing to come soon.
