Dexter s Lab Seasons 01-04 COMPLETE

Dexter's Laboratory was inspired by one of Genndy Tartakovsky's drawings of a ballerina. After drawing her tall and thin shape, he was inspired to pair her with a short and blocky opposite, Dexter. In 1991, he made his first "Dexter" short. On February 20th, 1995, Dexter's Laboratory made its first run on the "What a Cartoon!" show. In March 1996, the first season sparked off. Directors and writers on the series included Genndy Tartakovsky, Rumen Petkov, Craig Mcen, Seth MacFarlane, Butch Hartman, Rob Renzetti, Paul Rudish, Mark O'Hare, John McIntyre and Chris Savino.

Dexter's Laboratory ended its initial run in 1999, with the series finale being Last But Not Beast, but re-entered production in 2001. The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals, since Genndy Tartakovsky was busy working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars. The second series featured new character and background designs, alternative storyline and character backgrounds, and different sound effects (which were mostly all classic Hanna-Barbera sound effects). Also, Dexter's voice actress changed from Christine Cavanaugh to Candi Milo.

In the United States, the show currently airs on Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang at 9:30 P.M and on the Cartoon Cartoon Show on Cartoon Network. It aired on Cartoon Network on June 8, 2008 on the That's Nacho Chip Marathon on 12:30 P.M, and aired again on June 22, 2008 at 1:15pm during the You Big Baby Marathon.
