About Astro Boy
Astro Boy ended on December 23, 1981, on Cartoon Network. The original series ran from 1963 to 1966, with a revival season broadcast from 1980 to 1981. The show is no longer airing and has not been scheduled for a return.
Astro Boy was a Japanese-American animated series that was among the first anime to gain popularity in the United States. The series was based on a manga and followed the adventures of a robot boy named Astro Boy, who possessed incredible powers and sought to fight evil and protect humanity. The original 1963 black-and-white version was notable for crossing the Pacific and reaching American audiences, though it was eventually phased out due to its themes and lack of color.
The series was a mix of action, adventure, and children’s entertainment, premiering in 1963 and ending in 1981. It featured a total of 245 episodes across two seasons, with the later season in 1980-1981 being a color remake that introduced Astro Boy to a new generation. The show had a rating of 7.8 on TVMaze and each episode had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes.
