The Cartoonstitute was a planned Cartoon Network project created by Cartoon Network executive Rob Sorcher that would have been a showcase for animated shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing. It was headed by Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot).[1][2] 39 shorts for the project were in development at Cartoon Network Studios, but only 14 of these were completed with the remaining 17 being left out. Eventually, balancing 5 upcoming shows and adding another was just impossible and the project was scrapped.[3] Of the shorts which were made, only Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa have been greenlit to become animated series (the latter has been greenlit as Secret Mountain Fort Awesome).[4] On May 7, 2010 Cartoon Network finally uploaded nearly all of the shorts to their website. The only shorts not uploaded were Maruined, 3 Dog Band, and Joey to the World. [5] Cartoon Network removed Regular Show for unknown reasons. There might be plans for “The Modifyers” a reject Nickelodeon animated series.[citation needed]
