Cartoon Cartoon Fridays (abbreviated as CCF) is a former Friday-night programming block on Cartoon Network for their assortment of original animated series, collectively known as "Cartoon Cartoons". It debuted on June 11, 1999, in a live-action format and showcased new episode premieres and special programming events for potential new series.

Beginning on June 9, 2000, CCF was broadcast in a revamped format with animated "Cartoon Cartoons" hosting the block. This period included The Big Pick (2000) and The Big Pick II (2001), two animation showcase events that let viewers vote online for their favorite cartoon pilot to be turned into a full series. The "Cartoon Cartoons" hosting format continued until May 23, 2003, when the block was re-titled Summer Fridays. Later in 2003 it was re-launched as the live-action Fridays.

Lost or undiscovered media include most promos featuring Edd of Ed, Edd n Eddy checking the following week's schedule from late 2000. Many segments were compiled into videos or playlists by YouTube user ccffreak.

History

Live-action format

Cartoon Cartoon Fridays premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States on June 11, 1999. For its first year, CCF broadcast new episodes of Cartoon Cartoons that were framed with live-action segments and sketches.

Cartoon Cartoons hosting format

On June 9, 2000, CCF was hosted for the first time by a Cartoon Cartoon character, that being Eustace from Courage the Cowardly Dog. This revamp resulted in unique animation crossovers from Cartoon Network's original series such as Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy, I Am Weasel, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Mike, Lu & Og, Sheep in the Big City, Whatever Happened to...Robot Jones?, and Time Squad.

For the next three years, the block was presented in a revamped format by Primal Screen, the same studio that produced the bumpers and interstitials on Cartoon Network during the late 1990s and early 2000s. This redesign had a white background, a red and yellow ribbon, and a blue disc featuring the logo for CCF.

The Big Pick and The Big Pick II

The June 9, 2000, airing was headed by the start of The Big Pick, a special broadcast event featuring a new cartoon pilot every week for 10 consecutive weeks. The event continued in 2001 as The Big Pick II. With the 2024 finding of Uncle Gus: Not So Fast!, all Big Pick and Big Pick II pilots have been found.

Shorts from The Big Pick include:

  • The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: "Meet the Reaper" (June 9, 2000)
  • Whatever Happened to Robot Jones? (June 16, 2000)
  • Trevor! in Journey to Sector 5-G (June 23, 2000)
  • Nikki (June 30, 2000)
  • Foe Paws (July 7, 2000)
  • Uncle Gus: For the Love of Monkeys (July 14, 2000)

  • Lost Cat (August 4, 2000)

  • Captain Sturdy (June 8, 2001)
  • Yee Hah & Doo Dah (June 15, 2001)
  • Imp, Inc. (June 22, 2001)
  • My Freaky Family (June 29, 2001)

  • Swaroop (July 27, 2001)
  • Ferret & Parrot (August 3, 2001)
  • A Kitty Bobo Show (August 17, 2001)

End

On May 23, 2003, the block was temporarily re-branded as Summer Fridays with no cartoon host segments. This lasted until October 3, 2003, when the block was re-launched as Fridays with a new introduction and live-action hosts Tommy Snider and Nzinga Blake (replaced by Tara Sands in 2004).

Availability

Although many episodes have been recovered over the years, others remain lost. Promotional bumpers made for the block's broadcasts are scarcely available. Voiceover work on these promos was provided by Harry Shearer (1999-2000), Tom Clark (2000-2002), and Doug Preis (2002-2003).

November 17, 2000

This was the premiere night of the short-lived series Sheep in the Big City. Edd (from Ed, Edd, n Eddy) hosted a unique night that was never aired again. Throughout the program, the title character of Johnny Bravo as well as Chicken (from Cow & Chicken) harassed Edd to the point where he had to call for Baboon (from I Am Weasel) to beat up the troublemakers. This is one notable CCF that is missing from YouTube user ccffreak's account.[21] A few very brief clips of this night can be seen in the CCF theme from 2002. Also, a small clip appeared in a fan-made video, but it is hard to hear due to narrator talking over it. On September 16, 2015. Lost Media Wiki user Nodog uploaded the Edd segments in full.

Brief clips from this night are seen at 0:41 and 1:09.

A Very Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Holiday Special

A Very Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Holiday Special aired on July 20, 2001. It uses all the same bumpers as the Christmas Party special in 2000, only with Baboon yelling "in July" when necessary. It is notable for airing the pilot of Codename: Kids Next Door, "No P in the Ool". All segments from this special were uploaded to YouTube in 2023 by CCF+R Archives.

Edd Checks the Schedule (ads)

In late 2000, a new series of promos aired featuring Edd checking the schedule to see the following week's host. The only ad to resurface is for the Halloween Party special and the block from the week that Sheep in the Big City premiered. The remaining advertisements have yet to be found.
