Let's reflect on the Tom Ascheim era with this timeline I put together. I tried to only include major premieres; I didn't include any of the many series that were merely announced.
2020
Jul: Tom Ascheim's time overseeing Cartoon Network (and Adult Swim and Boomerang) begins.
2021
Feb: The “Redraw Your World” on-air branding is introduced.
Mar: Elliott from Earth premieres; the series was greenlit in 2018.
Jun: The Fungies! becomes the first HBO Max original series to air on Cartoon Network; other HBO Max series to appear on Cartoon Network are Looney Tunes Cartoons, Tig n’ Seek, and Jellystone!
Sep: Cartoonito, a preschool block, premieres on Cartoon Network and HBO Max. ACME Night, a family co-viewing block, premieres.
Nov: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses, a live-action quiz show, is the network’s most-watched premiere of the year—Ascheim’s only full year at the helm. The series was shared with TBS and HBO Max.
2022
Jan: We Baby Bears premieres.
May: Tom Ascheim’s exit is announced.
Thoughts?
