Line 5:

AOL Time Warner changed the direction of Hanna Barbera Productions, and focused the studio exclusively on creating new material for the Cartoon Network channel. After experimenting with such shows as ''Cow and Chicken'' and ''Two Stupid Dogs,'' the new Hanna Barbera hit its stride and scored hits with such cartoons as ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' and (especially) ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''.

The cable channel has recently made attempts to attract viewers outside its core audience (young children). Their mid-afternoon cartoon block ''[[Toonami]]'' consists of reruns of acceptable-for-youngstersyoung-teens ''[[anime]]'' from Japan, while a late-night cartoon block called ''[[Adult Swim]]'' shows more risque, teenage- and adult-oriented cartoons such as ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]], [[The Brak Show]], [[Sealab 2021]], [[The Oblongs]],'' and ''[[Cowboy Bebop]].'' ''Anime'' plays an important role in many of the Adult Swim shows as well.
