Archiving Animation with Home Media - Cartoon Network Physical Home Media Releases - Part Five

The changing of Presidents at Cartoon Network always coincided with big reverberations throughout production output. While today’s five series do not fall into one of these transitional periods, it’s always good to keep in mind when those presidential changes occurred, as they can usually cue us into what the focus of the business is aiming towards. The Presidents of Cartoon Network and their tenures are as follows: 

Betty Cohen (1992–2001)

Jim Samples (2001–2007)

Stuart Snyder (2007–2014)

Christina Miller (2014–2019)

Michael Ouweleen (2019–2020)  

Tom Ascheim (2020–present)

Now onto today’s series...



Megas XLR (2004) ran for two seasons. Unfortunately, no episodes have been released on home media outside of a promotional DVD.
