Status: Partially Lost

High Noon Toons was a programming block on Cartoon Network that aired (in various forms) from 1994 to 1995. The show was made by Matt Thompson and Adam Reed (who would both later go on to create/produce FX's Archer series) who would host the show using hand puppets named Haas and Lil' Jo (a pun on names of characters from Bonanza). There were often special themes to the programming block like "Quick Draw McGraw - Pure Mustang" and Haas and Lil' Jo also hosted Cartoon Network's "Spring Break '95" and the "Haas Haunted House Party" from October 1995.

Availability

There are a few videos on YouTube, if you search for "high noon toons" about 5 videos come up (3 of the 5 being essentially the same clip; a promo for the Quick Draw McGraw episode) and if you do even more digging you can find a couple more promos buried in compilations of Cartoon Network promos from '95.

Here are some of the videos that are a little more hard to find:

Haas Haunted House Party promo (skip to about 2:32)

Spring Break '95 promo (skip to 10:20)

High Noon Toons Christmas promos

Trivia

According to an article in Atlanta magazine (from October 2005), Matt and Adam were usually drunk while working on the show and even got reprimanded for setting a prop space ship on fire, while under the influence.[1]
