In 1997 CN started calling their original series "Cartoon Cartoons", and would use this branding whenever these shows aired on the channel.
The first CC was the What a Cartoon! anthology series of cartoon shorts in 1995, followed by Dexter's Laboratory in 1996. 16 CCs were introduced from 1995 to 2003.
Cartoon Cartoon Fridays is the most famous block of CCs. It started in 1999 and would present the CCs new episodes, premieres, and more, with a character from each show hosting every Friday from 7:00pm to 11:00pm.
CN retired CCF and the CC brand in 2003. No CN original series has been categorized under that brand name since then, and older series are no longer referred to as CCs.
The last 2 CCs were The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, followed by Evil Con Carne, both in 2003. These 2 series came from the show Grim & Evil and were separated from each other shortly after CCF was retired.
So why did CN decide to stop using the CC brand for its original series? It would've been cool if it had become a staple brand of the network that they'll use forever, like what Nick has with it's Nicktoons brand. I also want to know why they ditched CCF, from what I've seen it was like the greatest cartoon/kids primetime block known to man. I bet I would've loved the block if it were still on when was a kid (I was born in 2002), and it'd be great to still have that block on today with newer CN original series and characters.
