Out of all of the upcoming cartoons, which one are you looking forward to the most? Personally I'm looking forward to the Secret Saturdays. It's a dumb name, but it sounds cool. :D

You forgot to add on the Cartoonstitute to that list. That's the show I'm looking forward to the most.

Out of this list (without the Cartoonstitute) It's a tie between Flapjack and Saturdays. Flapjack is pretty funny from what I've seen so far and Saturdays is supposed to be inspired by Jonny Quest; So anything that wants to be like a classic Hanna-Barbera show is fiiine with me.

While it could become one, I don't think its suppose to be a show in the first place.

Well, it could just be a...bunch of pilots that...I have no clue. But all the stuff they are making will be different lengths so...my head hurts. :sweat: The Secret Saturdays get my vote though!

I picked Ben 10: Alien Force with the hope it's better than the original.
I also hope the Secret Saturdays is good as well.

Wait... how do you know there all different lengths??? I was hoping they'd all be around 7 minutes long...

Well, seeing as how the Cartoonstitute isn't up there, my vote goes to Flapjack; I 've seen the preview and found it PURRDY funny, especially the part where the ship crashed and the weird looking passengers are crowded up in the boat huddling eachother and one of them screams out "WAH HAPPEN??'' That was an instant arrow from Cupid to my heart. I'm guessing Secret Saturdays will be pretty good because it's influenced by cartoons like Jonny Quest and Space Ghost, but I haven't seen anything of it so I can't be too sure.

Wow, no one likes Star Wars.... ironic seeing as how it's supposedly going to anchor the Friday action block...

Eh, no worries there; the Star Wars franchise has enough hardcore fans to keep its' ratings high. I'm about Star Wars-ed out, myself, though I still like Jedis.

At the moment, I'm not especially looking forward to any of the shows listed on this poll (Flapjack seemed more strange funny than hilarious funny, what I saw of it, I'm less enthusiastic about The Brave and the Bold after learning it's going to be another Batman-centric show and catching a glimpse at the preliminary artwork, I'm only an occasional viewer of Ben 10 and I can't comment on The Secret Saturdays, as I haven't seen anything relating to it yet.) That aside, it is good to see that cartoons still matter on Cartoon Network.

I take back my comment, Star Wars is in front now. The show itself looks visually appealing and I guess it will be good, I am a fan of Star Wars, so idk. I've never been a huge fan of the Ben 10 franchise to begin with; the premise is good but the show itself is blekh. As for Batman: TBATB, I could care less about Warner Bros shows since the DCAU has died and all collaboration between Speilberg and WB is over.

I voted for Secret Saturdays. I'm not really a Star Wars fan, or a Ben 10 fan, so I don't really care bout them. The Batman show looks likes it will be teh fail. Flapjack looks the worst IMO (Annoying kid voicing main lead again)

My most anticpated has got to be The Clone Wars. Big Star Wars fan here, who couldn't be more excited for this.

The others I'm mixed about; Flapjack looks OK; the premise and designs look fun, but I wasn't impressed with the preview(granted, I also wasn't impressed with Chowder's, and I can't get enough of that); I didn't like Ben 10, but I'm giving Alien Force a look myself to see if the dhow's finally done right; didn't pay attention to much revolving The Secret Saturdays, but I'll tune in, anyway; and I have no interest whatsover with The Brave & the Bold. I love Batman, but does he really need another new show? IMO, The Batman was enough.

I have to say the next series of Ben 10. It looks so cool, plus I was a big fan of the orginal :D

Clone Wars sounds like it might be good, even if Genndy Tartakovsky isn't animating it.

Why did they wait so long for Secret Saturdays? Were they waiting to see what NickToons Network's The Secret Show was like? It is rather easy to get the names of the two shows confused.

When the creator first pitched it, it was called Cryptids. Then when he re-did a few stuff (like characters and plotline), and re-titled it "The Secret Saturdays". And there was the time when a CN executive wanted a different title, but was shot down by the others.

What happened to that spinoff of Billy and Mandy I read about? You know, the one with Hoss Delgado and Irwin in it? That's the one I'M looking forward to.

Underfist. I'm pretty sure that's only a DTV. At least, I think I'm sure.

No, that's an hour-long Halloween special. They wrapped up production a week or two ago. :shrug:

Yea, it's supposed to air this halloween. However, I think I recall Maxwell saying that if the special was recieved well, than a spinoff series could've been in order. I definitely would not mind that. A group made up of a nerd, a giant spider, a self-proclaimed supernatural fighter, a former general, and a green elephant demon thing would definitely be original. It would kind of mean that Billy and Mandy wouldn't have left the network, and I'm hoping that the series could take on a more action-y vibe to be different from its predecessor, seeing as how the group is supposedly supposed to be fighting monsters and stuff. Awww pooo, isn't that what the Secret Saturdays is kinda about too?? Well then, maybe we won't see an Underfist series...:sad:

Nah. Underfist is more like fighting underworld monsters. Saturdays is more like fighting Cryptids (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptids).

Yea but knowing the current CN staff they'll probably decide they're too similar and not make it :shrug:

I doubt it. With that logic, they wouldn't have picked up TSS, saying it was too similar to Ben 10. Besides, depends on how the special does in the ratings. And Maxwell is also working on several pilots to pitch to networks.

Oh yeah, I'd almost forgotten about all the other pilots hes pitching. He won't have time to do like three shows at a time.

Well actually I could be wrong. He worked on Evil Con Carne and Grim Adventures at the same time way back when. Well, of course Con Carne only had about 5 half hour episodes as its own show, sooo maybe he can't handle it :sweat: Mr. Maxwell, if you're somehow reading this, please know that though I just said u can't handle more than one show at a time, you're one of the most talented people in animation and u probably do have the ability to do two shows at once. Please don't kill me :sweat:
