The upcoming block airs 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and includes such classic programs as ‘Dexter's Laboratory,’ ‘The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy,’ ‘Courage the Cowardly Dog,’ and ‘Ed, Edd, & Edd,’ starting August 28th

Adult Swim has taken to Twitter to reveal a new promo and logo for "Checkered Past," a new hour-long animation block featuring Cartoon Network’s most beloved classic animated series.

The upcoming block airs 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and includes such classic programs as Dexter's Laboratory, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd, & Eddy and many more. On Saturdays, the hour will instead showcase Unicorn: Warriors Eternal and My Adventures with Superman, while Sundays will be reserved for the “Acme Night” block.

Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Discovery Kids previously stated, "Animation can both speak to multiple age groups in the moment, and also find new audiences across decades...The early Cartoon Network originals—like Dexter's Laboratory or Courage the Cowardly Dog are examples of shows that do both."

“Checkered Past” debuts on August 28th on Adult Swim.
