Page "Dexter's Laboratory" Paragraph 11

The series re-entered production in 2001.

The new episodes, which ran for two more seasons, had a different production team than the originals since Genndy Tartakovsky was busy working on Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars ( MacFarlane and Hartman had left Time Warner altogether at this point, focusing on Family Guy and The Fairly OddParents, respectively ).

Beginning with season three, Chris Savino took over as the creative director for the show in the absence of Tartakovsky.

Later in season four, Savino was also promoted to producer giving him further control over the show ( such as the budget ).

This second line of episodes featured noticeably different visual designs, minor inconsistencies with the original episodes both in storyline and in visuals, different sound effects, and Christine Cavanaugh was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter for the majority of these new episodes ( as Cavanaugh had retired from voice acting in 2001 for personal reasons, though she still voiced Dexter for the first few episodes of the third season ).
