Class of 3000 is an American animated children's[1] musical television series created by André 3000 (best known as a member of the hip hop duo Outkast) and Thomas W. Lynch for Cartoon Network. Produced by Tom Lynch Company and Moxie Turtle for Cartoon Network Studios, the series follows superstar and music teacher Sunny Bridges (voiced by André), who teaches a group of students at Atlanta, Georgia's Westley School of Performing Arts.[2] Bridges is a jazz and blues artist who occasionally lectures in Atlanta's Little Five Points residential area. (Referencing Atlanta, both OutKast and Cartoon Network are based in Atlanta.) Twenty-eight episodes were produced.[3] The show debuted shortly after the hip-hop duo's breakup.
Class of 3000 is the final Cartoon Network original series to premiere when Jim Samples was Cartoon Network's General Manager and Executive Vice President, as he later resigned following the 2007 Boston Mooninite panic. The series has never reran.

This is how commercial children's television rolls right now, and it's worth a look for anyone who used to like 'Fat Albert,' just to see how things have changed.
