2008 saw several programs outside of Adult Swim receive the TV-PG rating, including Total Drama Island. In addition, several Canadian imports started to take up more space on the channel, such as the aforementioned Total Drama Island, George of the Jungle (2007 reboot), and Johnny Test. Three of the well-known original series, Codename: Kids Next Door, Camp Lazlo, and My Gym Partner's a Monkey, successfully concluded this year. Two other shows, Class of 3000 and the ill-fated Out of Jimmy's Head, were abruptly cancelled without further ado. Ben 10 concludes for the sequel series Ben 10: Alien Force. Two new shows also premiered this year such as The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and The Secret Saturdays.
