Dexter's Laboratory is an American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. Initially debuting on February 26, 1995, as a seven-minute World Premiere Toons pilot, it was expanded into a full series after gaining network approval. The first season, which consists of 13 episodes divided into three segments each, premiered on TNT on April 27, 1996,{{Cite web |title=TNT commercials ca.

In this season, Allison Moore, the voice actor for Dee Dee during the first season, was replaced by Kat Cressida, save for a few episodes. "Last But Not Beast", the second-season finale, was originally supposed to conclude the series in 1998. However, Tartakovsky directed a television movie titled Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip which aired on Cartoon Network on December 10, 1999. He left the series after the movie, focusing on his other projects, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars.
Production on a third season began in 2000 with Chris Savino taking over as creative director and later producer. The third season, consisting of 13 episodes, premiered worldwide on November 18, 2001, during Cartoon Network's "Dexter Goes Global" marathon.{{Cite news |last=Godfrey |first=Leigh |date=November 6, 2001 |title=Dexter Goes Global in Worldwide Marathon |url=http://www.awn.com/news/television/dexter-goes-global-worldwide-marathon |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021213630/http://www.awn.com/news/television/dexter-goes-global-worldwide-marathon |archive-date=October 21, 2013 |access-date=June 5, 2013 |publisher=Animation World Network}} The third-season episode "Poppa Wheely/A Mom Cartoon/The Mock Side of the Moon" is the first to feature Christine Cavanaugh's replacement Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter. Milo would voice the character from the next episode onward, with the exception of "Tele Trauma". A fourth and final season consisting of 13 episodes aired from November 22, 2002, to November 20, 2003. In total, there are 78 episodes and a television movie across 4 seasons.
A previously unaired episode called "Rude Removal" was originally shown only at certain comic conventions that Tartakovsky attended beginning in 1998. The segment, originally produced for season two, was released online by Adult Swim on January 22, 2013.{{Cite web |date=January 22, 2013 |title=Dexter's Lab: Dexter's Rude Removal |url=http://video.adultswim.com/dexters-laboratory/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130125041420/http://video.adultswim.com/dexters-laboratory |archive-date=January 25, 2013 |access-date=January 22, 2013 |website=Video.AdultSwim.com |publisher=Adult Swim}}

=Season 3 (2001–02)=
Candi Milo replaced Christine Cavanaugh as the voice of Dexter after six episodes due to Cavanaugh's retirement from voice acting.
This is the first season to feature the new character designs and the UPA-influenced backgrounds, the latter of which was exclusive to this season.
It is also the first season to use digital ink and paint, and the first season that Chris Savino takes over as the director.
The third season adopted a different episode format from the other seasons, with most of its episodes being two 9-minute shorts with a 3-minute short sandwiched in between, rather than the original format of three 7-minute shorts.
