Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows Dexter, a boy-genius with a secret laboratory filled with his inventions. He constantly battles his sister, Dee Dee, who always gains access despite his best efforts to keep her out, as well as his arch-rival and neighbor, Mandark. The series' first two seasons contain additional segments: Dial M for Monkey, which focuses on Dexter's pet lab-monkey-turned-superhero, and The Justice Friends, about a trio of superheroes who share an apartment.
Tartakovsky first pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animated shorts showcase World Premiere Toons, basing it on student films he produced while attending the California Institute of the Arts. A pilot on Cartoon Network in February 1995, and in August viewer approval ratings convinced the network to order a half-hour series, which premiered on April 28, 1996 and the series ended on November 20, 2003. Dexter's laboratory is filled advanced by speaking various passwords or by activating hidden switches on his bookshelf. Though highly intelligent, Dexter often fails at what he has to set out to do when he becomes overexcited and makes careless choices. He manages to keep the lab a secret from his clueless, cheerful parents, who never notice any evidence of the laboratory.
The cartoon series features the voices of Christine Cavanaugh as Dexter. Kathryn Cressida as Dee Dee. Kath Soucie as Dexter's Mom. Jeff Bennett as Dexter's Dad. And Eddie Deezen as Mandark.
