* ''Stay Tooned''.
 
==Newer [[Sketch Show]] Style:==
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]''
* ''[[Animaniacs]]''
** When production began on the [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', production was already underway on segments for ''Animaniacs'' starring the two lab mice. Those were collected as anthology episodes, along with a few classic segments from previous seasons of ''Animaniacs''. Most of the show proper followed a full-length half-hour format.
* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]''
* ''[[Freakazoid!]]!'' - Did about half its episodes in AA form, and the rest as full-length episodes.
* ''[[Histeria!]]'' - Sketches revolved around the historical lesson ''du jour''.
* ''[[House of Mouse]]'' does this with a [[Framing Story]]. Before that, it was known as ''[[Mickey Mouse Works]]'', which was a straight-up anthology.
Line 33:
* Cartoon Network is in the process of developing a show called "Cartoonistute" created by [[Powerpuff Girls|Craig]] [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|McCraken]] and [[My Life as a Teenage Robot|Rob Renzetti]] that fits this format.
** And previously did ''[[What a Cartoon Show]]'', with some of the showcased shorts later becoming "Cartoon Cartoons" such as [[Dexter's Laboratory]], [[Cow and Chicken]], [[The Powerpuff Girls]] and [[Johnny Bravo]].
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'', ''[[Chalk ZoneChalkZone]]'', and ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'' were all spin-offs of the Nickelodeon anthology program ''[[Oh Yeah Cartoons]]''.
