Roosevelt and George Washington. Cartoon Network's Time Squad President's Day Marathon airs Monday, February 18 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET, PT), will be a good-natured seven-hour journey around the globe and across history starring three presidents, several emperors and a handful of inventors.
Time Squad is a Cartoon Network original series that follows the adventures of three members of an elite law enforcement group from the distant future whose mission is to "Enforce the past to protect the future." Time Squad's diligent officers, eight-year-old whiz kid Otto Osworth, lunkheaded Officer Buck Tuddrussel and cranky robot Larry 3000, try to correct historical mistakes before they happen, despite the fact that none of them know a whole lot about history.
During the President's Day Marathon, Time Squad gets called into action when President Abraham Lincoln decides that being "Honest Abe" is boring. So he joins a gang of pranksters that wreak havoc on the Nation's Capitol, tipping cows and "ding-dong ditching" all over the District of Columbia. When the Time Squad gang gives him a taste of his own medicine, in the form of a flaming bag of dog poop, the Great Emancipator decides to return to his old, honest ways.
Another mission takes Otto, Buck and Larry back to help George Washington when he has a hard time getting his army motivated to fight against the British. It seems that Betsy Ross has turned our revolutionary forces into a bunch of tie-dye wearing, granola-munching layabouts who will be no match for the Redcoats. With the help of Time Squad, George gets his army to put away the freak flag and start a revolution.
And proving there are no small parts, only small actors, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt joins Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin in a nude romp through jolly old England. Churchill convinces our 32nd President to join all Englishmen by dropping trou and letting it all hang out. But after Time Squad shows Churchill what he looks like in the buff, the Prime Minister decides a wiser course of action would be to fight World War II fully clothed. During the President's Day Time Squad Marathon, our intrepid time travelers will also rub shoulders with well-known folks like Napoleon, Beethoven and Confucius.
