==History==
===Background===
In 1996, [[Cartoon Network]] created a Sunday morning block of preschool programs, consisting of ''[[Big Bag]],''
On August 22, 2005, Cartoon Network debuted ''[[Tickle-U]]'', the network's first official attempt at weekday-morning preschool [[Block programming|programming block]]. The block aired from 9 to 11 a.m.<ref>{{cite web |date=22 August 2005 |title=Cartoon Network Unveils 'Tickle U.' |url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/cartoon-network-unveils-tickle-u |access-date=8 April 2018 |publisher=[[Fox News]] |agency=Associated Press}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Linn, Susan |date=15 August 2005 |title=Cartoon Network's "Tickle U" Is No Laughing Matter; CCFC Urges Families to Stay Away From New Preschool Programming |url=http://www.commercialfreechildhood.org/cartoon-network%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ctickle-u%E2%80%9D-no-laughing-matter-ccfc-urges-families-stay-away-new-preschool |access-date=8 April 2018 |publisher=Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood |archive-date=July 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708022901/http://www.commercialfreechildhood.org/cartoon-network%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ctickle-u%E2%80%9D-no-laughing-matter-ccfc-urges-families-stay-away-new-preschool |url-status=dead }}</ref> and featured a mix of domestic and foreign-imported series, with interstitial segments hosted by two [[Computer animation|CGI]] characters: a red [[butterfly]]-like creature named Pipoca (voiced by [[Ariel Winter]]) and a yellow [[rabbit]]-like creature named Henderson (voiced by [[Tom Kenny]]).
Programs on Tickle-U included [[Warner Bros. Animation]]'s ''[[Firehouse Tales]]'' (its sole original series), Canadian co-productions ''[[Gerald McBoing-Boing (TV series)|Gerald McBoing-Boing]]'' and ''[[Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs]]'' (with [[Teletoon]] and [[Treehouse TV]]), and British series ''[[Gordon the Garden Gnome]]'', ''[[Little Robots]]'', ''[[Peppa Pig]]'' and ''[[Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto!]]'', some of which were re-dubbed for American audiences. The block was criticized by the [[Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood|CCFC]], for its marketing strategies.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-07-08 |title=Cartoon Network's "Tickle U" Is No Laughing Matter; CCFC Urges Families to Stay Away From New Preschool Programming {{!}} Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood |url=https://commercialfreechildhood.org/cartoon-network%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ctickle-u%E2%80%9D-no-laughing-matter-ccfc-urges-families-stay-away-new-preschool |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170708022901/https://commercialfreechildhood.org/cartoon-network%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ctickle-u%E2%80%9D-no-laughing-matter-ccfc-urges-families-stay-away-new-preschool |archive-date=8 July 2017 |access-date=2021-02-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Tribune |title=Network hopes to help develop preschoolers' sense of humor |url=https://www.eastvalleytribune.com/get_out/network-hopes-to-help-develop-preschoolers-sense-of-humor/article_5ca943f4-6171-50b7-a954-bb8a4abc6508.html |access-date=2020-12-17 |website=East Valley Tribune |date=October 25, 2005 |language=en}}</ref> Tickle-U ended on January 13, 2006; some of its programs still aired on Cartoon Network until 2007 and in the United Kingdom on [[Cartoonito (British and Irish TV channel)|the native Cartoonito channel]].

===Scheduling===
Through the summer of 2022, the block ended at 11:00 a.m. until the resumption of the academic year on September 5. A month later on October 3, the 6:00 a.m. hour was abandoned for Cartoon Network content, leaving it as a four-hour block going into 2023. It underwent two additional cuts, with 2½ hours removed on March 13 with a new 9:00 a.m. endtime, then another half-hour cut on February 19, 2024, resulting in the block airing for only an hour between 7:30 a.m.–8:30 a.m. until its summer hiatus on May 23, 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schedules |first=CN News/ |title=CN News Schedules |url=https://twitter.com/cnschedules/status/1528532751900676096?lang=en |access-date=2022-10-07 |website=Twitter |language=en}}</ref>
On September 1, 2025, the block will return from hiatus with it now airing for only half-hour.
