* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]'': Some special episodes filled the whole 22 minutes, but most were of the Two Shorts format.
** Except the fourth season, which had only 2 of 13 episodes in this format.
* ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Animation)|The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' was initially aired as ''Grim and Evil'', sharing an ABA structure with ''[[Evil Con Carne (Animation)|Evil Con Carne]]'' before the latter was [[Spin -Off|spun off]] and then cancelled. Both shows became two short format.
* ''[[Cow and Chicken (Animation)|Cow and Chicken]]'' shared an ABA format with ''[[I Am Weasel]]'' until, as above, the second-string short was spun off. Neither show lasted very long.
* ''[[Dastardly and Muttley In Their Flying Machines]]'', ABA with ''Magnificent Muttley''.
Line 92:
* ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]: The Series'' used the Two Shorts format most of the time.
* ''[[The Weekenders]]'' used the two shorts format.
* Most of the early [[Hanna -Barbera]] comedy shows were ABC. ''[[The Huckleberry Hound Show]]'', their first half-hour series, was the [[Trope Maker]] for the format.
* ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' did this with a Halloween special, wherein they recreated three [[Stephen King]] novels with the Family Guy characters. They did ''[[Stand By Me]]'', ''[[Misery]]'', and ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]''. The surrounding material involved Peter introducing them, and reminding us all that [[Stephen King]] is the greatest author of all time.
* ''[[Maryoku Yummy]]'' does the two stories formant.
