The First Animation Block

Quick and dirty post today, as I am super close to hitting a milestone in a project behind the scenes. Look forward to a more in depth week of entries next week. 

From my YouTube favorites, I believe the first syndicated animation block on television was on CBS in 1955 when CBS bought the Terrytoons library for $3.5 million dollars. So until an earlier one comes across me, I will say this is a first with a giant asterisk. Hosted by Dick Van Dyke and with no commercials between cartoons, the block ran for 13 weeks in the summertime.
