The Fall era was the seventh era of Cartoon Network that began airing on September 14, 2007, ending the "Summer 2007" era. "We're on it" was their slogan of the rebrand. The era ended on July 13, 2008 with the Noods era replacing it. This era was created and produced by Shilo Designs. The theme song for this era (entitled "Fall is Just Something That Grown-Ups Invented") was performed by The Hives.
According to many, this era marked the beginning of Cartoon Network's decline, because the branding featured real people, and the fact that Out of Jimmy's Head, Cartoon Network's first live-action series premiered on the same day the era began. To make matters worse, live-action movies were played more than ever.
Shows[]
During this era, a lot of Cartoon Network's original series had been cancelled and removed from the network. This era would continue to push live action. The Cartoon Cartoon Show and The Top 5 had ended by the end of the era.

Trivia[]
- The first program to air under the Fall era on September 14, 2007 was Transformers: Cybertron, and the last program to air under the era on July 13, 2008 was Ben 10: Alien Force.
- At the beginning of this era, the on-screen logo was the same as the one used during the Yes! and Summer 2007 eras (they also included another screen bug that was animated, and was interchanged with the previous one), but in January 2008, a gray, transparent on-screen logo was introduced and used for the rest of the era.
- One of its bumpers was also used as a production card for Cartoon Network Studios (alternative to the 2007 Ben 10 variant) at the end of Ben 10: Race Against Time (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdIs-sGYjFE at 3:00-3:02).
