CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Dexter's Laboratory was created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network and it follows the adventures of Dexter, a boy genius with a secret laboratory hidden in his bedroom. The series was the first original series for the channel under the "Cartoon Cartoons" moniker.

The show features Dexter's ongoing conflict with his older sister Dee Dee, who frequently disrupts his experiments, and Mandark, a rival genius who seeks to undermine Dexter's work. Despite being a genius, Dexter often fails due to his overexcitement and carelessness.

The series was initially based on student films that Tartakovsky produced at the California Institute of the Arts. Four pilot episodes aired on Cartoon Network and TNT from 1995 to 1996 before the show was picked up as a series.
