Acme Hour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acme Hour was a hour-long program that aired on Cartoon Network. It was an hour-long compilation of various Warner Bros., MGM and Popeye cartoon shorts. It was also known to feature Jay Ward, Walter Lantz and public domain Betty Boop shorts in its early days on the network. It aired for an hour (as per its title) on weekday runs and on late-night Saturday runs, it would air for two hours, often airing cartoons that would never be broadcast in the daytime due to content. While it no longer airs on the US version of Cartoon Network, Acme Hour is still a part of Cartoon Network in other countries. Starting in 2005, the US version of Boomerang aired Acme Hour every day. It has since been removed from the schedule.
