What do a CGI dog, a man in flippers, and Bobcat Goldthwait have in common? Apparently, The Moxy Show, a short-lived, experimental breed of original programming on Cartoon Network. Thanks to this ambitious effort championed by Betty Cohen, Cartoon Network gained confidence in steering away from remixing old cartoons and steadily following the path to forge their own just a couple of years later.

In today's episode, BDubs jumps back into the time machine with the dial set to 1993 so we can observe what events Ted Turner and pals were cooking up for the checkered channel as Cartoon Network gained its baby legs to finally walk.
