List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network

In its early years, Cartoon Network's programming was predominantly made up of reruns of Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Hanna-Barbera shows such as Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, and Scooby-Doo. Cartoon Network's first original series were The Moxy Show and the late-night satirical animated talk show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The What a Cartoon! series of showcase shorts brought about the creation of a number of Cartoon Network original series, the first of which made into a full-fledged series was Dexter's Laboratory in 1996, followed by Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken in 1997 (as well as its spinoff, I Am Weasel later in 1999), The Powerpuff Girls in 1998, and Courage the Cowardly Dog in 1999, which debuted alongside Mike, Lu & Og. Another popular series, Ed, Edd n Eddy was one of the first to air without a What a Cartoon! pilot, debuting in 1999. Dexter's Laboratory creator Genndy Tartakovsky went on to create three more series for Cartoon Network: Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Sym-Bionic Titan. Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken later produced Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for the network. Other series that were greenlit from programs similar to What a Cartoon! include Whatever Happened to Robot Jones?, Codename: Kids Next Door, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

Following the resignation of Jim Samples in 2007, Cartoon Network began airing live-action original series such as Destroy, Build, Destroy and Dude, What Would Happen as part of the CN Real block that ran from 2009-2010. By 2014, Cartoon Network began moving away from live-action programming with the 2010 premieres of Adventure Time and Regular Show as current president Christina Miller succeeded Stuart Snyder.

Cartoon Network has also broadcast a number of feature films, mostly animated or containing animated sequences, under its "Cartoon Theater" block, later renamed "Flicks". Since 2008, they have also been airing live-action movies despite the network not producing any live-action series since 2014.
