![The Big Game 1999 - Sylvester vs. Tweety
Sylvester vs. Tweety was a 4-hour marathon that aired on Cartoon Network on Saturday, January 30, 1999, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with the first hour consisting of a pre-game show that featured analysis by experts Jerry Glanville, Nick Buoniconti and Len Dawson (borrowed from sister network HBOs Inside the NFL) as well as narration by Harry Kalas. The marathon featured 18 Looney Tunes shorts starring Sylvester and Tweety as well as play-by-play and color commentary from Pat Summerall and John Madden during commercials. The marathon was also aired the following day (Super Bowl Sunday) from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.[1]
This was the second in a series of four Super Bowl spoof marathons that aired annually on Cartoon Network from 1998-2001. These marathons came to be known as The Big Game; however, only the final two actually featured this moniker.
The game itself used clips from the Sylvester & Tweety cartoons Bad Ol Putty Tat (for the first half) and Tweetys S.O.S. (for the second half). The Big Game 1999 - Sylvester vs. Tweety](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cl7qgfIwFdM/mqdefault.jpg)

![CN City Production Workprints: Cityscape Background B-Roll
In 2004, Cartoon Network premiered three new original series: Megas XLR, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi along with the acquired series Code Lyoko. On June 14, 2004, Cartoon Network rebranded, which included an updated version of its original logo (with the checkerboard motif retained and the C and N being the centerpiece) and a new slogan, This is Cartoon Network![29] The bumpers introduced as part of the rebrand featured 2D cartoon characters from its shows interacting in a CGI city composed of sets from their shows. These bumpers lasted from 2004 to 2007. By now, nearly all of Cartoon Networks classic programming had been relocated to its sister network Boomerang to make way for new programming.
2005 saw the debuts of three more original series: The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Camp Lazlo and Ben 10. On August 22, 2005, Cartoon Network launched a block aimed at the preschool demographic known as Tickle-U; shows on the block included Gordon the Garden Gnome, Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto!, Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, Little Robots, Peppa Pig, Firehouse Tales, and Gerald McBoing-Boing. The block was largely unsuccessful and was discontinued on January 13, 2006. From 2005 to 2008, most of the networks older Cartoon Cartoons (such as Dexters Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls) could be viewed in segments on a half-hour block known as The Cartoon Cartoon Show.[30]
In 2005, Cartoon Network signed a deal with AMC Theatres for Summer MovieCamp to feature episodes of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Camp Lazlo, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends in the big screen.[31]
After its predecessor, What a Cartoon!, Cartoon Network created an all-new animated short series consisting of overseas shorts, pilots, college shorts, or even shorts created for the show itself. That show was called Sunday Pants; it first aired on the day of October 2, 2005. Sunday Pants varies on different types of animation, from traditional hand-drawn animation to Flash, or even CGI, possibly making it similar to other shows such as Liquid Television on MTV or KaBlam! on its competitor channel Nickelodeon. The show was created by Craig Sven Gordon and Stuart Hill, and was produced at Spitfire Studios. The show has a similar concept to What a Cartoon!, except that the shorts are 1–3 minutes long and the show is squeezed to be 23 minutes (without commercials). There are animated and live-action intervals in-between shorts. The live-action ones are performed by American band The Slacks, while the animated ones are animated by WeFail. The show lasted for less than a month, with its final airing taking place on October 30, 2005. In January 2006, the show was announced to be returning the month after but said return never came to fruition and the series was ultimately cancelled.
Four new Cartoon Network originals and one internationally acquired series premiered in 2006: My Gym Partners a Monkey, Squirrel Boy, Class of 3000, and Robotboy. Three made-for-TV movies debuted this year: Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation Z.E.R.O., Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends: Good Wilt Hunting, and Re-Animated, the latter of which was the networks first live-action TV movie and a collaboration between live-action and animation.
Samples resigned from his post on February 9, 2007, following a bomb scare in Boston caused by packages left around the city that were part of an outdoor marketing campaign promoting the Adult Swim series Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[32][33] CN City Production Workprints: Cityscape Background B-Roll](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e8cegyBBHls/mqdefault.jpg)
