As of
April 21st,
Cartoon Network announced it's new
2010 lineup featuring an array of new shows.
http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/33313/toonzone-at-the-cartoon-network-2010-upfront-updated-1145-am12 shows have been presented and in my personal opinion, these are the ones I'm most curious to check out.
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: yet another series featuring those meddling teenagers and their goofy dog. Seems to be a
throw-back to their roots with modern cartoony-cartoonists
Spike Brandt and
Tony Cervone acting as supervising producers.
Young Justice: Teen superheroes have to start somewhere. Various young heroes of the
DC variety prove they have what it takes to join the ranks of the
Justice League.
MAD: The popular spoof magazine finally gets animated in several styles in order to poke fun at almost everything that makes up pop culture.
Sym-Bionic Titan:
Genndy Tartakovsky's return to animation features alien teenagers and their giant robots. Should be awesome.
And the most-anticipated series I've been looking forward too:
The Looney Tunes Show: Those wacky
Warner Bros characters are now living the
suburban lifestyle in
half-hour adventures made up with
musical segments(?) and
CG Roadrunner shorts. In the long run, this seems like a terrible idea for classic cartoon stars but at least it's a step up from
Baby Looney Tunes and
Loonatics. Supervising producers
Spike Brandt and
Tony Cervone have handled the Tunes well-enough before, so this show could live up to it's roots. For today's standards that is.
You can see the writers were trying their best to be funny but the stories themselves fall flat with stiff animation, bad acting and a poor music score. At least they're trying.
