ANIMATED SHOWS

An animated series is a set of animated works with a common series title, usually related to one
another. These episodes typically share the same characters and a basic theme. Series can have
either a finite number of episodes like a miniseries, a definite end, or be open-ended, without a
predetermined number of episodes. They can be broadcast on television, shown in movie
theatres, released direct-to-video or on the internet. Like animated films, animated series can be
of a wide variety of genres and can also have different target audiences, from children to adults.

Animated television series are regularly presented and can appear as much as up to once a week
or daily during a prescribed time slot. The time slot may very, including morning, like saturdaymorning cartoons, prime time, like prime time cartoons, to late night, like late night anime. They
may also be broadcast on weekdays (weekday cartoons) or only on weekends.
The duration of each episode varies depending on the series. Traditionally, series are produced as
complete half-hour or nearly half-hour programs; however, many are produced as animated
shorts of 1011 minutes, which can then paired with other shorts to fill a set time period. There
are also some short series with a length of approximately five minutes; these have recently
become more common in anime.
They are sometimes grouped together according to network programming demands. Thus a
particular series may appear in a number of formats or time block.
Animated television series had historically been used for comedy, like the cartoons, a piece of
art, usually developed for humorous intent, and so, called cartoon series. However, more recently
animated television series have fallen into other genres such as action / adventure series like
Speed Racer and G.I. Joe.
The first animated television series was Crusader Rabbit.
Animated sitcoms first appeared in the 1960s, with The Flintstones (19601966), followed by
The Jetsons (19621987).
The 1980s and 1990s was a renaissance of the cartoon children's television series and adults.
Various broadcast networks and media companies began creating television channels and formats
designed specifically for airing cartoon series. Companies that already had these types of formats
in place began to revamp their existing models during this time.
Cartoons just like kids, narrate innocent stories. These have nothing to do with the hardships of
real life, out of the world emotions, drama and facts. Cartoons create a world to which kids can

relate to. The extra ordinary energy and powers of the main cartoon character makes them a
favorite among kids. Also, the victory of good over bad allures the kids to a great extent.

Sound effects play a major role in creating this attraction. You must have noticed that kids
remember all the title songs of their favorite cartoon shows

The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from
September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966, on ABC. The show, produced by Hanna-Barbera, fancifully
depicted the lives of a working-class Stone Age man, his family, and his next-door neighbor and
best friend.
The show's continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday
concerns in the Stone Age setting.[2][3] The Flintstones was the most financially successful
network animated franchise for three decades, until The Simpsons debuted.[4] In 2013, TV Guide
ranked The Flintstones the second Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time (after The Simpsons).[5]
