Cartoon Network Summer (also known as Cartoon Summer) was a Cartoon Network summer celebration that aired during the Summer of 2005 and 2006. It featured the premieres of three new Cartoon Network Original Series (Camp Lazlo, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and Squirrel Boy) and the premiere of one new Cartoon Network Original Movie (Codename: Kids Next Door: Operation: Z.E.R.O.).
Bumpers[]
In 2005, Cartoon Summer's bumpers were set in CN City, with several characters from Cartoon Network's shows joining together and celebrating summer in a stadium (similar to Woodstock).
In 2006, the bumpers involved a different stage, set in a more urban area of CN City. There were not only CN City bumpers but also Yes! bumpers, which featured CN characters saying and doing random things behind a red background, sometimes accompanied by yellow and white text (similar to an Internet meme). The mascots for this summer were Fred Fredburger (The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy) and Cheese (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends). The network's slogan during the summer was a simplistic "Cartoon Network: Yes!", as spoken by Fred Fredburger, a character from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
Blocks[]
During 2005, Lumpus and Slinkman from Camp Lazlo hosted a block called Lumpus and Slinkman's Cabin Fever that ran from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
