They're Coming in May on Cartoon Network!

Aliens Take Over Popular Original Series in "Cartoon Network Invaded," an Out-of-this-World Event

Alien-themed episodes will air throughout the month, beginning Friday, May 4, at 7 p.m. (ET, PT), culminating with an out-of-this-world alien invasion marathon on Memorial Day.
