CN Spring Break 2009

[SuperDudeX]

I just saw the commercial for a couple of special marathons that will happen during spring break next week, and apparently they will also include "sneek previews" of some of the new CN shows that are comming. It's basically a rehash of the old "Summer Previews" that they used to do. So far I only saw bits from TDA and some of the new live action shows.



Thoughts?

[J!!!]

I hope summer special bumps return:D

[chdr]

So that's what the weird schedule is about.

I wonder if we'll see some Generator Rex and Symbionic Titan footage.

So the spring schedule is weird huh? How so is there a whole bunch of marathons or high rated shows in the morning?

[DeanBurrito25]

What types of marathons are we talking here? If there are marathons of shows that aren't airing on CN right now, then you've caught my attention. :)
Also if there's a preview of Sym-Bionic Titan, that'll make me happier.

Also if there's a preview of Sym-Bionic Titan, that'll make me happier.The Spring Break schedule will be pretty free-form, with mini-marathons (some will feature less-aired shows like Teen Titans) throughout the morning, and Flicks movies at noon. For example...

6.0 normal, but with Ben 10 AF taking over the 7.0 slot
9.0 Clone Wars x3
10.5 Ben 10 x3
12.0 Ace Ventura Jr.
2.0 Chowder x2
3.0 Johnny Test x2
4.0 TDI x2
5.0 Clone Wars x2
6.0 LOSE x2
7.0 back to normal

The commercial was alright.

Meh, nothing out of the ordinary. :yawn:
I'll be in Florida anyways, so I'm not missing out on much.

[Mickialla]

I want to see the commercial, this sounds good. I liked when Fridays did the previews for the coming year a few years back. But I hope that they don't have summer-exclusive bumps unless they're Nood bumps. Because if they have non-Nood summer exclusive bumps, than I can guarantee that the Noods will be gone come Fall.

[Comics_the_QB]

The commercial only showed the current running shows, TDA, and some live-action shows. No Scooby, Adventure Time, B10 Evolutions, Superhero Squad, Rex or Titan. :sad:

I was at least hope they would try to show at least 3 more animated show previews, along with TDA.

Noods Gone.. amem ;)

[Racattack!Force]

No Scooby, Adventure Time, B10 Evolutions, Superhero Squad, Rex or Titan. :sad:Guess they aren't that far into production yet. :sad:

[John Dorian]

My Two Cents:


1. Ben 10: Evolutions is coming next year (and the final season of Ben 10: Alien Force (which they should sneak some parts of the third season in there) coming up later this year), so why spoil anything on Evolutions when it's coming next year? Besides, it's still in production, give CN Studios some time. Same goes to Generator Rex, Sym-bionic Titan and Warner Bros. Animation's Scooy Doo - Mystery, Inc..

2. Since Adventure Time with Finn and Jake went through a couple of months in production with some storyboards done, CN should give us a sneak peak on how the show will look and move the CN Studios way, and give the fans a short interview with Pen Ward.

3. CN should also confirm an airdate for the Live Action shows (probably Saturday or Sunday), TDA, new Chowders and Flapjacks, and other comedy shows.

[Mickialla]

Noods Gone.. amem ;)

What would you rather have?

[Royce]

I'd rather have the noobs than those awful live action skits with those kids.

Anyway i'm looking forward to this only for TDA. I really don't care about the rest.

[Foxface321]

What would you rather have?
Idk anything but the noods.. anyone remeber cartoon city?

[Jeff Harris]

Well . . . they did have clips from Head Rush in the ad.

Or did you think that was just a random scene with roller coasters?

[chdr]

Well . . . they did have clips from Head Rush in the ad.

Or did you think that was just a random scene with roller coasters?I also saw a bit of Destroy / Build / Destroy in there too.

[Jeff Harris]

I also saw a bit of Destroy / Build / Destroy in there too.You did.

By the way, those live-action shows, as well as Survive This, ARE part of this summer's AMPT.

[chdr]

You did.

By the way, those live-action shows, as well as Survive This, ARE part of this summer's AMPT.Ah, okay. I kinda guessed that the game shows would be a part of AMPT.

[Foxface321]

Ugh Live action on Cartoon network

[John Dorian]

Well, at least the Live-Action shows are degraded to Saturdays.

[J!!!]

Well, at least the Live-Action shows are degraded to Saturdays.
I guess chdr thought correctly about whan the live action would be shown.

[PalmelaFC]

Well, at least the Live-Action shows are degraded to Saturdays.

Saturdays don't get ratings? I thought Saturdays were one of the most important nights to get them...

[J!!!]

Saturdays don't get ratings? I thought Saturdays were one of the most important nights to get them...
For Adults programs kid shows do well on this day.

[Mickialla]

Saw the commercial today. The live-action shows look exactly like what I expected them to be- like those reality shows that Discovery Kids airs.

[Jeff Harris]

Well, at least the Live-Action shows are degraded to Saturdays.Actually, The Othersiders is tentatively coming to Friday nights. They're going to stretch the shows through the week, so, more or less, AMPT would be kind of an encore block.

What's going to happen to YAH then?

[Comics_the_QB]

What's going to happen to YAH then?

Hopefully Outsiders will just become apart of it, somehow... (maybe it's action like?)

[Mickialla]

Actually, The Othersiders is tentatively coming to Friday nights. They're going to stretch the shows through the week, so, more or less, AMPT would be kind of an encore block.

So the live action shows are going to air throughout the whole week??!!

I was hoping they'd just be scooted into one little corner of the week so we wouldn't have to worry about them every day...

What does AMPT stand for anyways!!

[DeanBurrito25]

I hoped CN would only air the LA mess on Saturdays...infact I hoped CN would learn their mistake from OOJH and never air LA again. It's Cartoon Network, shouldn't they air cartoons. This issue never fail to dissapoint me. :shrug:
I sure hope the LA stuff is short-lived and CN can go back to airing all cartoons.

[ECDT1089]

I'm looking forward to seeing previews of Generator Rex.

[Jeff Harris]

What's going to happen to YAH then?
You Are Here isn't ending. Clone Wars Season 2, B&B Season "2," Ben 10 AF season 3, Secret Saturdays Season 2, and Sym-Bionic Titan will all be there (the tentative plan now is that Generator Rex could be on by the end of the year or mid-January, just prior to Evolutions premiere).

And The Othersiders could be there on You Are Here as well. Cartoon Network pretty much made it certain that Fridays is their fantasy/action night, and they're seeing The Othersiders, their first original "alternative" (read: reality) series, as an action series, and they're going to try to put it on the night, perhaps leading into The Clone Wars. Of course, the block could be expanded by an hour as a result, but nothing's written in stone yet (rather, it's on a dry erase board), and things change.

[chdr]

I guess Symbionic Titan has been in production longer than we thought.

[D Dubbs]

Why did people think that live-action would be limited to one day of the week? You just don't acquire/develop expensive programming to have it air once or twice a week.

[chdr]

Why did people think that live-action would be limited to one day of the week? You just don't acquire/develop expensive programming to have it air once or twice a week.I never thought that live-action would be relegated to one day (although in my opinion it should), but I did expect that all the live-action shows would be airing on one night when they announced CN AMPT.

[Jeff Harris]

I guess Symbionic Titan has been in production longer than we thought.Shoot, Survive This comes on next week on YTV. Cartoon Network's getting it in the summer. Sym-Bionic comes on in the fall, tentatively speaking. Animation is a lengthy process. They wouldn't announce anything unless they have a few episodes already in the can.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest was in the works for four years before it aired a single episode. But right now, CN's more interested in presenting the live-action fare, and the Spring Break weeks will do that

[chdr]

Shoot, Survive This comes on next week on YTV. Cartoon Network's getting it in the summer.
Is there are specific reason for this? Is it a Canadian co-pro?

[D Dubbs]

Is there are specific reason for this? Is it a Canadian co-pro?

It's a completely Canadian production. It's produced by 9 Story Entertainment with help from YTV.

[warnerbroman]

Ugh Live action on Cartoon network I know I just call this block

"ArMPiT"

[chdr]

It's completely Canadian. It's produced by 9 Story Entertainment with help from YTV.Ah. I assumed CN was producing it considering it was announced as part of CN's programming slate at the Upfronts.

[Racattack!Force]

Shoot, Survive This comes on next week on YTV. Cartoon Network's getting it in the summer. Sym-Bionic comes on in the fall, tentatively speaking. Animation is a lengthy process. They wouldn't announce anything unless they have a few episodes already in the can.Ah, so they are aiming for a Fall premiere with Titan. It understandable that Spring Break will focus on CN's live-action properties, since none of their animated properties have completed animation at this time.

[J!!!]

Even though they have worked on Adventure time for like 7 months now and have competed storyboards they still haven't finished ANY animation.

[Racattack!Force]

Even though they have worked on Adventure time for like 7 months now and have competed storyboards they still haven't finished ANY animation.Probably not more than a few episodes.

[Mickialla]

I AM SO CONFUZZLED

- How do we know CN AMPT is coming in the summer?
- Is CNReal an official block now, and if so, which shows are airing on CNReal and which on CN AMPT?
- How do we know CN AMPT is on Saturdays?
- How do we know Titan is coming in the Fall?
- How do we know the live action shows will be airing throughout the whole week?

None of this was mentioned in the upfront, so where are we getting this info??

[chdr]

None of this was mentioned in the upfront, so where are we getting this info??From Jeff Harris, who gets info on Cartoon Network months before it's announced (like the death of Toonami).

And AMPT being a Saturday afternoon block was mentioned in a press release separate from the Upfronts.

[Mickialla]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Jeff knows folks on the inside. Thanks, Jeff.

But I still don't understand the need for 2 live action blocks. Why does Cartoon Network need CNReal and CN AMPT?

[chdr]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Jeff knows folks on the inside. Thanks, Jeff.

But I still don't understand the need for 2 live action blocks. Why does Cartoon Network need CNReal and CN AMPT?I assume it's because they just want a place to dump their NBA shorts. Technically, AMPT shouldn't even exist, considering all it is is a rerun block.

I'm assuming that AMPT is for game shows and Real is for reality and scripted shows.

[warnerbroman]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Jeff knows folks on the inside. Thanks, Jeff. or he's a spy!

[the KING]

I wonder if Jeff knows that ,the new logo is really coming soon?:sweat:

[Racattack!Force]

I wonder if Jeff knows that ,the new logo is really coming soon?:sweat:He may know, but there are limits on what you can share to others if you have connections to people in the biz (or if you are in the biz).

oh i see but even telling if the logo going to be in use is huge new's ?

[chdr]

The fact that Chris pronounces Cartoon Network Real as "C.N. Real" deeply disturbs me.

[warnerbroman]

oh i see but even telling if the logo going to be in use is huge new's ? yes a guy had to close his blog cuz of that

[PalmelaFC]

What does AMPT stand for?

[chdr]

What does AMPT stand for?It's just short for "Amped".

EDIT: Othersiders will be airing on Wednesday nights, with an encore on Saturdays.

It will be a part of CN Real (the logo is just CNREAL in the CN font), and apparently, CN Real won't be a block, but rather just a collective title for these shows (similar to Cartoon Cartoons).

[Mesousa]

Any other interesting stuff Chris said today?

Feels weird saying that. :sweat:

[warnerbroman]

[John Dorian]

Jeez. I hope Wedensday will be the only other night for Live Action.

[ECDT1089]

CN Real = Seein' Real. Get it?

[chdr]

Jeez. I hope Wedensday will be the only other night for Live Action.Jeff Harris has already stated that the live-action shows will premiere throughout the week and encore on Saturday.

[Racattack!Force]

Jeff Harris has already stated that the live-action shows will premiere throughout the week and encore on Saturday.So we can pretty much infer that two live-action shows premiere in primetime each night, Monday-Wednesday. With the encore being on Saturday with CN AMPT.

[chdr]

And it's official: HHT lives through the summer.

[warnerbroman]

And it's official: HHT lives through the summer.and chris insulted teletoon lol

Also, we just got an new Summer ad. It seems to be based on that "Didn't See That Coming." tagline. The Noods are as good as dead.

Totally saw this coming.

Oh man I really (REALLY) wish I could see those bumps :sad::sad:

Come on. Don't give up yet.

[chdr]

Come on. Don't give up yet.Promos don't lie. The fact that the logo is (possibly) changing and there hasn't been a new bump in months doesn't help either.

EDIT: Survive This is also premiering on a Wednesday as well.

[ECDT1089]

Yeah, thats true. If new bumps are going to happen soon, then lets hope they have the same appeal as the noods.

[PalmelaFC]

[PalmelaFC]

Of CN Real? How does it look like?

Yeah, thats true. If new bumps are going to happen soon, then lets hope they have the same appeal as the noods.

Why is everybody saying that the noods are ending? One thing: As anybody considered that there are going to be special Summer bumpers and then in Fall the noods may come back? Although theres a slight probability that won't happen...

[chdr]

It looked like a little tab at the bottom of the screen that said CNREAL in the tradition CN font.

Doubt it. No look has ever lived past summer bumpers (except for City, but it was just an extension of that look).

[CottonSwab]

I was hoping that the live action stuff was going to be bunched together and in one programming block where we don't have to visit but it appears as if they are going to be airing the live action shows throughout the week and eventually they will probably weave in alongside CN's animated shows and be shown throughout the day, which sucks in my opinion. I still plan on avoiding them regardless and keeping my focus on the animation that CN airs, it's the best (and maybe the only) option for those of us who do not want to see live action programming on CN. Like Chdr mentioned, it looks as if HHT will live through the summer, but have we had any news on YAH and weather or not it's going to be killed off yet, or are we still awaiting news pertaining to this? As far as the Nood's are concerned I would have to agree with ECDT, let's just hope that whatever the new bumps end up being that they are as fun and as interesting as the Nood bumps were, if not then besides a few key shows, CN may seriously be in danger of loosing a lot of it's fans who are on this forum. With all that being said, I am actually pretty stoked for the Spring Break on CN to begin and I will be watching the footage with an open eye and an open mind, I do hope that things turn out okay in the end.

That's the ad I saw this morning!
Well, R.I.P Noods. :sad:and odd they nood up everything just to remove it

[CottonSwab]

and odd they nood up everything just to remove it

I really felt that at one time the Nood's were going to become the face of the network and they were going to give CN a "brand" and make the company as a whole more recognizable, which in a way they have, but CN will still go ahead and flush them anyhow. CN wasted a lot of money on them with the production costs, website upgrades and other Noodish thing's they have done since their inception, it's too bad that CN changes their look as often as they do, people become attatched and then out of nowhere it's gone.

[SuperDudeX]

I don't understand. How does the "Didn't See that Coming" promo signify that the Noods are leaving? Did the promo show Cartoon Network having a new look or something?? I didn't see it.

Oh, and are they going to be showing the same sneak peeks tomorrow that they did today, or will they be different?

They showed sneak peeks for Othersiders, Survive This, and TDA. They air at the end of each hour and there's still some sneak peeks we haven't seen yet.

Yeah, I just saw them. I don't the Noods will be leaving just because they weren't in these promos. They might change the look a bit, but I don't think they'll change it to a totally new look.

[Arithmetician]

The noods WILL be leaving by the time the summer comes, just trust me on this one. The bumps will leave, but CN will probably keep a small inch of the noods on the network and online. They did the same with the city bumpers.

Just trust me, the nood bumpers will be gone by the summer, followed by generic bumpers again.

What do you mean "generic bumpers". And didn't we trust you when you said that the Fall look would be replaced with a puppet-inspired look?

[Arithmetician]

What do you mean "generic bumpers". And didn't we trust you when you said that the Fall look would be replaced with a puppet-inspired look?

Yes the original planned puppet-look was scrapped (with the originally planned friday night block), for tristan's Nood concept.


And by "generic bumpers" i mean the same live action ones from the fall look, and the summer 2007 look.

live action bumpers with kids, and probably a new announcer, with probably a new logo to concede with the cnREAL thing etc.

Theres going to be a whole lot of changes people aren't going to like, but we have to suffer through it.

There was supposed to be a friday night block with those 2 puppets, I forgot their names. And they would preview upcoming movies.

My memory is foggy because we had a huge debate on this months ago about the new bumpers.

Yeah! there we go, it was originally called Epic Chow for some reason, it had those 2 puppets Jib and Crash for hosts.

I get this information where I hear it, friends, people who work at the advertising department at CN, people who work there, etc.

Most of the info I get are not set in stone though, so I could be wrong sometimes.

[Mickialla]

Did anybody notice the small footage of the Scooby Doo Movie?

Yeah. Scooby looked fine, but in one of the clips they showed Shaggy, who looked kind of weird. In the same clip they showed some guy standing with Scooby and Shaggy who I'm guessing was Fred, and get this, he didn't even have blonde hair.

Epic Chow was supposed to for Sunday nights if I'm correct. Epic Chow was announced after the 2008 upfront, which stated they'd be establishing a Sunday night movie franchise. Epic Chow was canned for the Flicks, but I'm pretty sure it was always meant for Sunday nights. It couldn't have been for Friday nights because they also announced at the 2008 upfront (once again, before Epic Chow was announced) that Friday nights would be dedicated to action/adventure shows like Brave and the Bold, Alien Force, Clone Wars and Secret Saturdays (i.e. YAH).

The Friday night fantasy/adventure block was nameless for the longest time, but then Capacity and Kidrobot came around with the Noods campaign. The network ran with it, and it has been a successful chameleon-like one at that, adapted into the entire infrastructure of the network, from the bumps to the Friday fantasy/adventure block to the movies franchise, which is why they got rid of Epic Chow in the first place. Of course, part of the reason for the Noods campaign was to showcase the animated side of the network.

That's not to say it'll go away. Just limited. They can't/won't put live faces on the Noods. Otherwise, it'll look awkward. They're keeping it "real" thus a hybrid campaign of sorts for the summer before deciding on something new in the fall. I hope they stick with Capacity myself, but I was fond of what Animal Logic did with the cityscape design.

And, just for the record, take everything I say with a grain of salt. And despite rumors saying otherwise, I'm not a Cartoon Network spy. Spies don't openly, publicly, and repeatedly criticize the folks they work for while using his real name. Plus, I'm here at Toon Zone, and I love it here. We're independent and proud!

I just pay attention.

[J!!!]

This spring break thing gives me hope for summer exclusive bumps again.

[Mickialla]

This spring break thing gives me hope for summer exclusive bumps again.

Not all summer bumps have to be good. May I bring your attention to the "YES" and the Summer '07 bumps? I remmember back in the Summers of '00 and '01 they had the "Cartoon Cartoon Summer" and they didn't really have special bumps, but those were still probably the most memorable CN summers. The only time Cartoon Network had good summer bumps to me was during the Summer of '05.

[Arithmetician]

Just to clarify, the nood CGI bumpers were originally to be aired between 2008-2009 according to the contract with Capacity.tv and CN. The bumpers won't be kept for very long though.

Although this does not mean they are going to lose the noods all together.

I don't get it. Why do they show this when people are in school and whatnot(I think)? I'm guessing other states have Spring Break around now(I was off a week last month)? :robin:

Anyway, I give up. After seeing the CNReal on Upfront 09, I give up. I always backed up CN when people talked bad about it, but I just can't do it now with this news. CN really improved last year with the Noods and new shows, then downhill it went(with the end of Toonami). I'm neutral from now on.

Don't think I will stop watching CN though. I will still watch Chowder, Flapjack, Star Wars, Batman, old CN shows, and all the new animated shows that the smart people have and will make at CN/WB/etc Studios.

Most schools get out around now. CN is also doing this for next week in case.

Also, welcome to the forums.

This is when we Georgians (where CN is located) get out of school so that's why

Oh, I see. That's what I was thinking. I wish people got off for Spring Break the same week nationwide. :P Oh, and thanks for the welcome.

[The Overlord]

and chris insulted teletoon lol

What did he say?

[monkey D Goku]

live action on cartoon network what are they smoking the name is Cartoon network. Not live action reality show network. just when CN was actually becoming watchable they do this ugh I need a smoke :mad:

Not live action reality show network. just when CN was actually becoming watchable they do this ugh I need a smoke :mad:You can just do what I do and change the channel. Or read a book...or do something else rather than focusing on CN's live-action stuff. Also, has anyone noticed that when referring to the live-action in commercials, they say CN. And when they talk about animation, they say Cartoon Network? :confused:

I don't want to open the floodgates but I must say my theory: they're starting to phase out the Cartoon Network name in favor of plain CN, much like the way MTV did in the early 90's.

[Mesousa]

Okay, I saw the TDA sneak peek from the Spring Break thing.

And...They seem to know seeing the episodes from us already, it looks like, since they just wailed some spoilers, such as the ones who are out, heck, the medical challenge episode, which is the next episode, was even shown a bit, which sorta surprised me.

Also, it looks like that logo will be the US logo, from a standpoint.

[Dr.Pepper]

I am really out of the loop here but does anyone know here if all of these sneak peak things have aired?

[chdr]

I am really out of the loop here but does anyone know here if all of these sneak peak things have aired?No. There's still some previews they haven't shown, like Head Rush and Destroy-Build-Destroy.

[PalmelaFC]

I just saw the Spring Break videos on YouTube and i think they're cool! They aren't as bad as i thought they would be.

[PalmelaFC]

So, did CN announce everything that was discussed here? Like the new live-action shows and Total Drama Action? No new things?

[chdr]

So, did CN announce everything that was discussed here? Like the new live-action shows and Total Drama Action? No new things?There are still some shows they haven't mentioned. We'll most likely see them tomorrow.

[CottonSwab]

I have really been enjoying the CN Spring Break "block" that they have been doing, I like the segments with Chris from TDI and to be honest, the live action stuff isn't as bad as I figured it would be. Most of the live action stuff seems to be game based, I was worried we were going to see a lot of sitcom/tween comedy stuff so I am somewhat pleased as to whats on the horizon. My only fear is that we will see the tweeny comedy shows and Hannah Montanta/Zack & Cody style ripoff's if the current live action stuff becomes a hit, so in a way I still hope it fails badly.

[Rho]

..More live action shows on Cartoon Network. Joy.
Just when it looked like the channel was starting to improve.

[DeanBurrito25]

It's obvious CN doesn't care about its viewers when it comes to this new content...I remember in one of the Spring Break commercials, Chris said "Just imagine all of the ratings!" Also, one of the lines in the Are You CN This music video mentioned that TDI "topped all the ratings, so all sorts of fine!"

I'm pretty sure CN's demographic could care less about ratings, and more about shows that interest them. CN desire of ratings over quality is the type of mindset that will send the network into a deep(er) hole, I believe.

If the live-action fails and CN's ratings fail, then good, I hope they learn their lesson. If it succeeds, they'll be trapped in their "ratings>quality" mindset and continue to air bad shows which could possibly end with the channel's demise. :shrug:

Come on CN, make the right decision..

Come on CN, make the right decision..I think CN tires to do the best thing for thier fans and themselves( why else would they even consider to keep animation) but they still want to compete with Disney and Nick and so far animation alone hasn't been cuting it.

Well, at the rate CN's going, they may as well air all live-actions shows and just call the channel "Network".
Besides, why can't CN use what works for them? Out of Jimmy's Head was a live-action/animation show on CN, and it was terrible. If CN can't create a decent live action show, what makes people think the upcoming live-action will be any better? In fact, what is live-action doing on a Cartoon Network anyways??
Then again, maybe if their live-action shows were cartoons, then it might be OK. But I highly doubt that.

The point is that CN really should just stick to all-cartoon format instead of live action/cartoon format, because it just kills the point of calling it "Cartoon Network". That's all.

The live action stuff has not even aired yet, and isn't there only going to be like 3 or 4 shows anyway? If so, I don't see the need to change the name of the network or get all crazy over the LA stuff coming, besides, most of it looks like game shows anyway or "Survivor" esq reality stuff, so when the season ends I am sure CN will dump it if the ratings stink anyway.

[DeanBurrito25]

There's six LA shows.

I sure hope so.

Another new show? Cool!! I didn't knew about this one...

What is the show about?

[Racattack!Force]

What is the show about?No one knows the plot, we just know that it was a Cartoonstitute short that went straight into series production.

[Mickialla]

I still think people are misunderstanding what Greg Araya said when he said "regular production". He's not working at Cartoon Network anymore. He's working at Disney on XD. And he didn't seem too happy when he was talking about regular production either. I'm not sure what he meant by regular production, but I don't think it's a series. Though I could be wrong.

Though I could be wrong.They are currently working on the pilot. Eric Pringle (the lead animator) wrote this in the comments of a post:

I think the animators really hate me now. I don't think they know I'm really serious when I say to animate on 3's.
I hope they do decide to 'fast track' Sloppy Seconds and we'll get to see its pilot in 2012.

2012?? That's a long time! And that's with a "fast track". But I don't think Sloppy Seconds is greenlit yet. Plenty of shows get greenlit for the pilot stage, but don't go anywhere after that.

[Racattack!Force]

And that's with a "fast track".He means that if they decide to hurry up.

That list looks pretty damn healthy to me, so I say screw the fact that live action is coming, we have PLENTY of great new animated series to look foward to. I am excited for new Ben 10 and Bakugan, and I look foward to seeing what Marvel Super Hero Squad, Titan and Generator Rex is all about, just thinking about the new shows coming is making my palms sweat in anticipation. Was there not a Pink Panther and Garfield series on the way too, or did those get scrapped.....?
