Miguzi is a former weekday afternoon block that premiered on Cartoon Network on April 19, 2004. The block was themed around Erin, an animated young 13-year-old girl (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) who finds refuge within the confines of a strange spaceship that is trapped underwater and inhabited by aquatic creatures (including Big Stalks, Flip, Curly, Tre, Remo, Bass, Monitor, Tweet, and Yoke).
Not surprisingly, this lighter-toned action block was from Williams Street, the producers of Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim and Toonami, a block of programming which Miguzi replaced in the weekday-afternoon timeslot after Toonami moved to Saturday nights. Miguzi changed its programming often. The block aired weekdays between 5-7pm on April 19, 2004, then starting January 15, 2006, aired from 4-6pm (later 4-5:30pm after Naruto took the 5:30pm slot on weekdays).

On June 20, 2004, the block also received a time slot on Sundays (3pm-5pm). The Sunday version of Miguzi featured the same lineup as the weekday version; however, only reruns from the previous week were aired. On September 12, 2004, the Sunday schedule was changed to a viewers' choice 4-episode marathon of one of the shows from the weekday lineup. This Sunday version of Miguzi was titled Wheel of Gooz, and the promo featured a roulette wheel with 4 sections that corresponded to the 4 Miguzi shows.
From November 22, 2004 to January 15, 2005, the "Make a MonsterPiece" contest was held on cartoonnetwork.com and viewers could enter for a chance to have their drawing appear on Miguzi. Hundreds of entries were submitted and a panel of judges selected the winning drawing that was then turned into an animated character. The winning submission was "Yoke" by Kyler Spears, who later became a storyboard artist at the network.
In May 2007, Miguzi was replaced by Master Control, an interactive block that aired on September 24, 2007.

*Remo - Remo is a large walking remote control. He is seen in bumpers being smacked by the other characters in order to change the channel.
*Bass - Bass is a walking Bass speaker. Though he does not talk, his personality still comes through. He is skittish and does not like change. After a while, a second Bass was found in a box in the basement and the two appeared in bumpers together. The original has a red band around its arm while the other has a blue band around its arm.
*Tweet - Tweet is a very small walking tweeter. He is very brave and can often be found walking underfoot and getting into mischief. After a while, a second Tweet was found in a box in the basement and the two appeared in bumpers together.
*Dr. Monitor - Monitor, as it is called by Erin, is a sentient TV screen that has been a part of the ship since it was created.
*Big Stalks - Big Stalks is a big green monster with 3 eyes and two cone-shaped horns sticking out of his head.

*Yoke - Yoke is a green monster that appears to be just a head floating in an egg-shaped vessel that hovers off the ground. He has been shown to have telekinesis. He is the brother of Curly.

== Trivia ==
* In the Summer Kick-Off Special 2005, Tommy and Tara (in real life) send out a signal for the Miguzi gang (animated) to introduce new things to Miguzi.
* In Summer 2006, the block was given a complete rebrand, which featured simplistic 2D backgrounds, while the original bumpers are remaining. During its last month on the air, Erin was also removed in the original bumpers without a trace, and the three aliens used in promotional materials for the Cartoon Network Invaded crossover frequently cameoed.
* Cartoon Network did not acknowledged the block again until 2018, where Erin made a cameo in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode, Crossover Nexus.
