Playing the Cartoon Network shows timeline

Here you'll sort Cartoon Network's original series by the year each premiered. Each card pairs a show's title with a one-line pitch, the kind of description you'd find in an old TV guide. To begin, a single show is placed for you with its year visible. Take the next card, decide whether it comes before, after or between the shows already down, and drop it there. Right answers reveal the year; wrong ones still land in the correct spot but cost a life. You get three, and a run of ten correct placements restores one you've lost.

The deck opens with the channel's first wave of creator-driven cartoons and carries through the action shows, the anime-flavored experiments and a later wave of gentler, stranger series. Many of the early hits debuted close together, so knowing which one you watched first only gets you part of the way. Crossovers, specials and reboots can make an older show feel newer than it is. The later cards are the trickiest for anyone who stopped watching as a kid, since the pitch line may be all you have to go on.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
