1997: Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and I Am Weasel (the latter two as segments of the same show; I Am Weasel was later spun off into a separate show). These are followed by The Powerpuff Girls in 1998 and Ed, Edd n Eddy in 1999, and concluded with Mike, Lu & Og and Courage the Cowardly Dog in 1999, creating a lineup of critically acclaimed shows. In 2001, the network received Time Squad and Grim & Evil (the previous state of Evil Con Carne and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy). Also in 2001, the show Samurai Jack premiered, but was not officially branded as a Cartoon Cartoon despite airing during the various programming blocks. In 2002, Codename: Kids Next Door became a full series after being chosen in the previous year's Big Pick Weekend. It was also the last original series to officially carry the Cartoon Cartoon branding before being discontinued. The Cartoon Cartoon brand was first introduced in July 1997 for the network's Cartoon Cartoon Weekend block. From 1999 to 2003, the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays block was the network's marquee night for premieres of new episodes and series. The Cartoon Cartoons were intended to appeal to a wider audience than the average Saturday-morning cartoon. Linda Simensky, vice president of original animation, reminded adults and teenage girls that the cartoons could appeal to them as well. Kevin Sandler's article on them claimed that these cartoons were both less "bawdy" than their counterparts at Comedy Central and less "socially responsible" than their counterparts at Nickelodeon. Sandler pointed to the whimsical rebelliousness, high rate of exaggeration and self-consciousness of the overall output which each individual series managed. In October 2003, the same month the new live-action Fridays premiered on the network and the Cartoon Cartoons brand was officially discontinued. Although the Cartoon Cartoon branding was dropped this year, the Cartoon Cartoons bumpers (that appeared before and after episodes of its original series) remained intact until the network's rebrand in June 2004. In November 2004, the block Cartoon Cartoons: The Top 5 was renamed to simply The Top 5. CN still kept the Cartoon Cartoons name around in various forms applying to their older series (such as for The Cartoon Cartoon Show from 2005 to 2008), but since newer shows such as Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo, and Ben 10 were stylistically different from previous shows, the moniker
