Time Squad, Cartoon Network's tenth original Cartoon Cartoon first aired on June 8, 2001. Created by Dave Wesson, the series is a true homage to Jay Ward's Peabody and Sherman. Time Squad explores the humorous, yet unknown events in our world's history.

     The story involves an orphan, Otto Osworth, who happens to meet two time travelers from 100 million years in the future. Time Squad officer Buck Tudorussel, an overly excited, trigger-happy time cop, and his partner, the Larry 3000, a communication robot. The two end up taking Otto under their wing because of his extensive knowledge of world history. In an effort to enforce the past to protect the future, the trio travel back in time to pivotal points in history to correct it. With Otto's knowledge of the past, Larry's technical know-how, and Officer Tudressel's brute force, the squad travels from era to era convincing historical figures to stick to their original in plans to maintain the time-space continuum.

     "Time Squad is sort of the C-student's take on history," says creator Dave Wasson. "We go for the joke rather than sticking with the facts. And if we educate anyone, it is purely by accident." Wasson, creator of the animated short "Max & His Special Problem" (1998), part of the Oh Yeah! Cartoons! series on Nickelodeon, earned his place in animation history with his off-beat humor character bold design.

     Time Squad was produced at Cartoon Network studios and ran for two seasons, ending in 2003.
