Samurai Jack

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I tell no lies. I have some serious man love for Genndy Tartakovsky and his projects; Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and Clone Wars, the much, much, much superior of the animated Star Wars animated shows. So consider it pure joy my friends when I read the other day that this grand master of the animated arts is once again oozing his coolness onto our television screens.
Cartoon Network is bringing animator/director Genndy Tartakovsky back to prime-time television with a new sci-fi series called Sym-Bionic Titan.
The show, one of several announced Wednesday as part of Cartoon Network’s dramatically expanded development slate, will focus on three extraterrestrials from the war-torn planet Galaluna who crash-land, only to be swept up in high school and the fate of the Earth as we know it. Wired
Oh man. I loved those other shows and just the thought of more Tartakovsky

Cartoon Network is growing up... or trying to. And in the process, they're getting away from the things that make them, well, a cartoon network.
That's the theme that seems to be running through their upfront presentation for the 2009-2010 season. Highlights include entering into the reality TV genre, creating a new sports-centric programming block, and introducing 19 new programs, pilots, and movies, including six that are live-action (umm...) as well as 164 episodes of returning series.  In doing so, Cartoon Network stepped out on its evolutionary path to become what it described as a "dominant youth culture brand," that not only understands boys, including boys 6-11, but girls and older kids too, while creating "un-sanitized" "TV for kids, not kids TV". 
Luckily, no one seems to talking about renaming it "CyFy". Yet.
Highlights:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars will return with new episodes in fall 2009; also returning are Batman: The Brave
