'''''Dexter's Laboratory''''' ('''''Dexter's Lab''''' for short) is an [[Annie Award]]-winning [[United States|American]] [[list of animated television series|animated series]] created by [[Genndy Tartakovsky]] about a boy genius named Dexter, who has a secret [[laboratory]] hidden behind a bookshelf in his bedroom. His enemy and rival is a boy named Mandark, but he feuds even more often with his older sister Dee Dee, who does not share in his intellectual inheritance.

''Dexter's Laboratory'' was inspired by one of Genndy Tartakovsky's drawings of a [[ballerina]]. After drawing her tall and thin shape, he decided to pair her with a short and blocky opposite, Dexter. In 1991, he made his first "Dexter" short. On [[February 20]], [[1995]], ''Dexter's Laboratory'' made its first run on the ''[[What a Cartoon! Show]]''. In March 1996, the first season began airing. Directors and writers on the series included Genndy Tartakovsky, [[Rumen Petkov]], [[Craig McCracken]], [[Seth MacFarlane]], [[Butch Hartman]], [[Rob Renzetti]], [[Paul Rudish]], [[Mark O'Hare]], [[John McIntyre (cartoonist)|John McIntyre]] and [[Chris Savino]].

−

''Dexter's Laboratory'' ended its initial run in [[1999]], with the series finale being the episode "Last But Not Beast", but re-entered production in [[2001]]. The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals, since Genndy Tartakovsky was busy working on ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' and ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars (TV series)|Star Wars: Clone Wars]]''. The second series featured new character and background designs, alternative storyline and character backgrounds, and different sound effects (which were mostly all classic [[Hanna-Barbera]] sound effects). Also, Dexter's voice actress changed from [[Christine Cavanaugh]] to [[Candi Milo]].

−

In the United States, the show currently airs on [[Cartoon Network]]'s sister channel, [[Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang]] at 9:30 P.M and on ''[[The Cartoon Cartoon Show]]'' on Cartoon Network. It aired on Cartoon Network on June 8, 2008 on the ''That's Nacho Chip Marathon'' on 12:30 P.M, and aired again on June 22, 2008 at 1:15pm during the ''You Big Baby Marathon''.

== Premise ==

−

The series revolves around a [[whiz kid|boy genius]] named Dexter, who has a secret [[laboratory]] filled with highly advanced equipment hidden behind a bookshelf in his bedroom. Access to this never-ending laboratory is achieved by speaking various [[password]]s or by activating hidden switches on the bookcase (such as pulling out a specific book). Dexter is normally in conflict with his ditzy older sister, Dee Dee, who has an uncanny talent for gaining access to Dexter's lab despite his best efforts to keep her out. Dee Dee eludes all manner of security and, once inside, delights in playing in the lab, often destroying his inventions and creations. For reasons left unexplained, Dexter manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents, and in the beginning of the show, Dee Dee is the only other character to know about his lab. In several episodes, however, he is forced to reveal his lab to his parents, although such episodes always end with his parent's memories being wiped.

−

Dexter has an arch-nemesis, a boy named Susan "Mandark" Astronominov. Often Mandark, through fraud or (rarely) by coincidence, attempts to take credit for Dexter's achievements. Mandark is also secretly in love with Dee Dee. In the later seasons, after the revamp, Mandark becomes significantly more evil, his laboratory dark-looking and spiky (instead of the bright, cartoony lab featuring the [[Death Star]] from earlier seasons) and his plans more diabolical and nasty. It was shown in an episode that when Mandark was referred to as "Susan" Dexter mocked Mandark for looking like a girl and this sparked his hatred toward Dexter.

−

The show's humor derives in part from Dexter's essentially one-sided and intense rivalry with his sister (in which Dexter, although brilliant, never gets the upper hand) and from exaggerated stereotyping of his high intelligence and social awkwardness. Much [[absurdism|absurdist]] and [[surrealism|surrealist]] humor is used as well.

−

The show breaks the time-honored TV rule of returning the characters and situation to the [[status quo]] at the end of each episode; most episodes end in an ''unresolved'' state with no easy solution offered for returning the characters to normal; e.g. Dexter is a [[mutation|mutated]] mass of [[protoplasm]], a large tentacled monster attacks the house, there are multiple clones of Dexter and Dee Dee running around, the entire lab self-destructs and is completely gone, Dexter destroys the lab and is later turned into a sandwich, etc. However, each episode always ''begins'' from the accepted "normal" premise of the program.

−

An hour-long special, ''[[Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip|Ego Trip]]'', aired on Cartoon Network in [[1999]], in which Dexter travels through time and meets several of his future selves. ''Ego Trip'' was originally supposed to conclude the series, but two additional seasons followed.

−

== Backup Segments ==

−

Two short segments ran in between episodes during 21-minute slots called ''Dial M for Monkey'' and ''The Justice Friends''. These segments existed within the ''Dexter's Laboratory'' universe and main characters from either "show" appeared in actual episodes regularly. The episodes of the first half of Season 1 of the show included the ''Dial M for Monkey'' segment in between two ''Dexter'' shorts. The last half of Season 1 included a ''Justice Friends'' segment in between the two ''Dexter'' shorts. Monkey often appeared in the ''Justice Friends'' segments and vice versa, teaming with his fellow superheroes.

−

=== Dial M for Monkey ===

−

[[Image:DialMforMonkey intro.JPG|thumb|200px|''Dial M for Monkey'' intro card.]]

−

The ''Dial M for Monkey'' shorts feature Dexter's lab monkey, [[Monkey]] (played by [[Frank Welker]]), who (unknown to Dexter) has [[superpowers]] and fights evil with his partners. One episode, "Barbequor," caused a controversy and eventually led to that episode's banishment because of its portrayal of gay stereotypes. "Barbequor" was the second Dexter's Laboratory episode to be banned, first one being "Dexter Dodgeball". {{Fact|date=June 2008}} Monkey revealed his secret to Dexter in the all-star episode ''[[Last But Not Beast]]'', only to erase his memories afterward. The segment's title derives from [[Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock's]] ''[[Dial M for Murder]]''. It may also reflect the [[DC Comics]] backup feature "[[Dial H for Hero]]".

=== The Justice Friends ===

−

[[Image:Justice Friends intro.JPG|thumb|left|200px|''The Justice Friends'' intro card.]]

−

Major Glory, Krunk, and Valhallen are all room mates who live in an apartment complex. Most of the adventures of the Justice Friends deal with the three trying to balance out their superhero adventures while just trying to keep their composure living in the house. They have also appeared on at least one episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', thereby tying the "universes" of those two shows together. Most of these adventures play out like a [[sitcom]] along with a [[laugh track]], used in a satirical manner. The segment's title likely derives from the DC Comics superhero organization ''[[The Justice League]]'' and its sanitized animated cartoon version, ''[[Super Friends]]''. The three main characters are based on the Marvel Comics characters of [[Captain America]], [[Hulk]], and [[Thor]]. Valhallen's name comes from "Valhalla", the spiritual plane of Norse mythology (Valhallen frequently refers to himself as the "Viking God of Rock") and [[Eddie Van Halen]].

−

Both of these segments crossed over into episodes of ''Dial M For Monkey''. In addition to Agent Honeydew and Monkey, The three superheroes are seen in action along with additional superheroes, similar to the large amount of ''Justice League'' members in ''"Challenge of the Superfriends"''.

−

A TV series seen in the apartment of Major Glory, Valhallen, and Krunk called "The Puppet Pals Show" (or simply "TV Puppet Pals") is seen as a few small segments with live-action puppets. One of the cartoons featuring [[Dom DeLuise]]'s character Koos-A-La-Goop-A-Goop has an opening similar to the two main back up segments.
