We’re back with Sunday Morning Cartoons! Welcome to a trip down nostalgia lane as we draw fashion inspiration from an unlikely source – our favorite old school cartoons.
Dexter’s Laboratory (1996-2003) was created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The show was one of Cartoon Network’s most popular and highly acclaimed original shows.
It revolved around colorful siblings Dexter and Dee Dee, and their parents. Dexter just happened to be a boy-genius who had a basement laboratory. Dee Dee was the cheerful older sister who dumbfounded Dexter with how she always managed to sneak into his secret lab.
Dexter made a lot of weird inventions; Dee Dee broke a lot of his weird inventions. Mom (just mom) hated germs; dad was a big fan of fishing. Just a normal family if you ignore the underground laboratory.

Your Thoughts?
Is “omelette du fromage” not the greatest meme of all time? Also, I particularly liked the episode where the kids drank coffee and become super hyperactive. What was your favorite episode?
