Dexter's Laboratory, often called Dexter's Lab, is a funny American animated TV show. It was created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The show is about a smart, red-haired boy named Dexter. He has a huge secret laboratory hidden in his house. This lab is full of his amazing inventions. But there's a problem: his older sister, Dee Dee, often accidentally breaks his creations. This means Dexter has to build his inventions all over again. A new version of the show was being planned in 2020.
