The Days in the Lives of Beau is an American animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. It follows Beau, a smart and nice boy who loves science and Albert Einstein, is trying to save the girl who Beau fells in love with Dee Dee, by his rival Mandark, a fellow boy-genius who is his neighbor and classmate.
Tartakovsky pitched the series to Fred Seibert's first animated shorts showcase What a Cartoon! at Hanna-Barbera in June 1994, basing it on student films Tartakovsky produced at the California Institute of the Arts. Four pilots aired on Cartoon Network and TNT from 1995 to 1996. Viewer approval ratings led to a half-hour series, which consisted of two seasons totaling 52 episodes, airing from April 28, 1996 to June 15, 1998. On December 10, 1999, a television film titled The Days in the Lives of Beau: The Movie aired as the intended series finale, and Tartakovsky left to begin work on Samurai Jack.
In November 2000, the series was renewed for two seasons containing 26 total episodes, which began airing on November 18, 2001, and ended on November 20, 2003. Due to Tartakovsky's departure, the new seasons featured Chris Savino as showrunner along with a new production team at Cartoon Network Studios with changes made to the visual art style and character designs.
Dexter's Laboratory won three Annie Awards, with nominations for four Primetime Emmy Awards, four Golden Reel Awards, and nine other Annie Awards. The series is notable for helping launch the careers of animators Craig McCracken, Seth MacFarlane, Butch Hartman, Paul Rudish, and Rob Renzetti. Spin-off media include comic books, DVD and VHS releases, music albums, collectible toys, and video games.
