Is there always more than 1 season for a cartoon show?

4 seasons is the limit. That's why Courage, Ed Edd & Eddy, and Johnny Bravo have reached the end of the line (although both Courage and Ed Edd and Eddy have about another year's worth of episodes).

The only Cartoon Cartoon to break that limit is PPG, although that's uncertain.

has any cartoon ever had 1 season before?

Well not really. They usually contract them for at least 2 seasons. Mike, Lu, and Og only had 2 seasons.....Grim and Evil only has one so far, but more are coming. I think even if the show bombs they'd want to have enough episodes for repeats.

I heard PPG is already scheduled for a 5th Season. Althought I heard Season 4 doesn't end 'till sometime in 2003. But the 5th season is probably the end for them. Unless they get new voices, which will probably be a no.

Dexter's second season was enourmous. 39 episodes. Is that the largest number of episodes for any CC season? I'm personally too tired to find out.

Who thinks there's anything wrong with the voices they have now?

Because 52 episodes is the magic number for weekday airplay. It gives them enough episodes to air multiple times a day, but limits the amount so that kids get to see their favorite episodes of each show more often.

Plus it saves money.

Because it's one of the shows that made Cartoon Network famous.

Same with Dexter's Laboratory, which now has 65 episodes because it was so popular.
