Cartoon Network Announces December 2016 Originals
Is this just a tip of the iceberg?
Cartoon Network has announced a rather busy December the 1st for original premieres, but perhaps this is just a taste of what’s to come. Regular Show is supposed to be wrapping up in January, so I would expect we see a few more of those dated before it’s all said and done.
The special Thursday night of premieres will kick-off with a special half-hour episode of Regular Show at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), and is capped with a new Steven Universe at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) in which Greg recalls his first winter with Steven.
More holiday-themed episodes of We Bare Bears and Uncle Grandpa round out the year as well.
We Bare Bears

- “Christmas Parties” – The Bears have been invited to all their friends’ Christmas parties. In an effort to have time to crash Nom Nom’s huge star-studded bash, the Bears first try to make quick stops at all their friends’ parties throughout the night.
Uncle Grandpa
Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7:45 p.m. (ET/PT)
