Special programming blocks

Miguzi

Miguzi is a cartoon block that premiered on April 19 2004 and currently airs every night from 5–7 P.M. (E/P) on Cartoon Network in the U.S. This block is themed around Erin, a girl who finds refuge within the confines of a strange spaceship that is trapped underwater and inhabited by aquatic creatures. Not surprisingly, this lighter-toned action block is from Williams Street Productions, the producers of late-night programming block Adult Swim and Toonami, a block of programming which Miguzi replaced in the weekday-afternoon timeslot.

Toonami

Toonami (a pun on tsunami, suggesting a "harbor wave" of animated cartoons) is a trademark of Cartoon Network, used initially for action-oriented programming blocks on the U.S. and UK Cartoon Network television channels, among other countries. The name was subsequently used in the United Kingdom as the title of a UK channel in its own right in 2003, a year after the network launched as CNX. Today, Toonami airs only on Saturdays from 7 pm to 11pm from its original placement on weekdays from 5 pm to 7pm. Some shows in this program include Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, Dragonball Z, and Naruto. Toonami is hosted by a suited Samus-Aran-esque humanoid named Tom and the AI on his spaceship.

Originally a Sunday-only block (that also reran on Thursdays), Adult Swim airs Saturday through Thursday nights at 11 PM (E/P) with an encore airing at 2 AM and then ending with an hour of Lupin the Third and Case Closed. The block, programmed by Williams Street, the same group that created Toonami and Miguzi, plays American animated comedy series and shorts geared towards adults and a wide variety of anime series and OVAs, all intended for mature audiences. The name comes from the name for hours designated at public swimming pools where only adults can swim in the pool. On March 28, 2005, the programming block was spun-off for Nielsen Ratings purposes.
