Neil Patrick Harris Leads Cartoon Network's Hit Animated Series ADVENTURE TIME to Best Performance in its 3-Season History

Cartoon Comedy Series Ranks as TV's #1 Program of the Day on All Television Among Key Kids Demos

Cartoon Network's Monday Night Comedies Rise to Highest Early Evening Delivery 2011-to-date

Cartoon Network's Monday night (Sept. 5) presentation of an all-new episode of original animated series ADVENTURE TIME (8 p.m.), currently in its third season, scored its highest delivery among all targeted kids and boys demos - ages 2-11, 6-11 and 9-14 - in the history of the series, earning double-digit growth across all audiences, according to Nielsen Media Research. The Labor Day presentation out-paced all competition to rank as the #1 program of the day on all television among kids 6-11 and 9-14, as well as boys 2-11, 6-11 and 9-14. Additionally, the strength of ADVENTURE TIME'S record-setting performance - which attracted more than 3.3 million viewers 2+ - helped propel the network's Monday night all-comedy line-up (7-9 p.m.) to its best performance 2011-to-date among total viewers.

The special episode, entitled "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake," featured guest-star Neil Patrick Harris (The Smurfs, How I Met Your Mother) who loaned his formidable speaking and singing vocal talents to play Prince Gumball. Harris starred in this gender-swapping, parallel universe episode which also features the female "Fionna" and her cat "Cake."

"Since its premiere on April 5, 2010, ADVENTURE TIME has served as an anchor to our Monday nights, quickly becoming the #1 original series on our air," said Stuart Snyder, president and chief operating officer of Cartoon Network. "With primetime Emmy Award nominations two years in a row for 'Outstanding Animated Program,' the series has been both a critical and popular success. Audiences - both kids and grownups alike - have made Monday night the destination for the next generation of great Cartoon Network animated comedies."

Highlights of ADVENTURE TIME's episode premiere performance, compared to the same 2010 time period, include the following:

· Kids 6-11 delivery (1,429,000) increased by 25%, and ratings (5.8) by 26%

With strong performances from additional original animated series The Amazing World of Gumball (7:30 p.m.), Regular Show (8:15 p.m.) and MAD (8:30, 8:45 p.m.), Monday night grew significantly across the board - kids 6-11 average delivery (981,000) increased by 9% and ratings (4.0) by 11%, kids 2-11 delivery (1,307,000) increased by 8% and ratings (3.2) by 10%, kids 9-14 delivery (791,000) and ratings (3.3) both increased by 27%, boys 6-11 delivery (756,000) increased by 16% and ratings (6.0) by 15%, boys 2-11 delivery (958,000) increased by 14% and ratings (4.6) by 18%, and boys 9-14 delivery (595,000) increased by 36% and ratings (4.9) by 40%.
