Today marks the 30th anniversary of Dexter’s Laboratory, which debuted April 28, 1996, as Cartoon Network’s first original “Cartoon Cartoon.”

Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the 4-season, 78-episode run concluded in 2003. Beyond its own success, the series launched the careers of animation icons like Seth MacFarlane, Butch Hartman, and Craig McCracken.

Dexter’s Laboratory centers on a boy genius who operates a massive secret lab hidden behind his bedroom wall. The show highlights the comedic chaos caused by his meddling older sister, Dee Dee, and his ongoing intellectual rivalry with the villainous Mandark. Despite his superior inventions, Dexter constantly struggles to keep his laboratory’s existence a secret from his parents.
