Seems Ben 10 is getting a spin-off in the form of "Ben 10: Hero Generation". Ben and Gwen will be around fifteen years old teaching younger, inexperianced, children deal with their powers.

Sounds like a decent idea, since the writers obviously HAVE a direction for the show as seen in "Ben 10,000" and are trying to make it CN's flagship franchise.

I'm up for that. The more Ben 10 the better.

I'm glad Cartoon Network is actually handling one of their in-house action shows with dignity. The usually change timeslots without warning a half dozen times within the span of a month, release no commerciales promoting the thing and then let it die slowly and without resolution.

Hopefully when Ben 10's popularity begins to gradually peter out they won't resort to their usual shenanigans.

It's being with Fast Forward grade dignity, but that's still better than most of the alternatives.

Am I in the minority of people who think this show is lousy? I mean, after KND and B&M died off, they ain't got NOTHING. Anyone see a preview for Out of Jimmy's Head yet? Not hard to spot. I was able to actually watch CN this week and they did one advertisement for it every 5 seconds. The fact they resort to live action shows... shudder.

My Gym Partner's a Monkey? Camp Lazlo? Hello? You wondering why CN is losing viewers to Disney's "trendy" Tweenage bull plop?

Is there anything you don't think is lousy? Nearly every post you've made for the past few months was negative, so I'm beginning to think you try not to enjoy current shows.

I happen to like this show allot oddly enough and think they have really interesting character designs as well as awsome toys takes me back to the days when tmnt figures where creative like that.

I agree with Drtooth to a point, but "Secret of the Omnitrix" wasn't bad, even though the rest of the series that I have seen comes off like an inferior Teen Titans clone.

Look what I started... Sorry, DrTooth. I know you weren't "trolling". That would require making fun of people for liking it. So, I assure you my first reply to you was meant to be an observation only. Sorry if it seemed like an attack.

O_o Secret of the Omnitrix looked like just another episode to me, the first truly multi-part episode. And, I never saw a single variation in the showings of it. Was the ToonZone article incorrect about them showing all three versions on the weekend of its premier or did I blink at the wrong time?

Apparently so, as I've seen an ad for an "Alternate Alien Version" of the Movie airing this Saturday.

Oh, neat! Thanks for the news. I'll keep my DVR unclogged for it. ^_^

Frustraited unemployed cartoonist.

Kinda like frustraited unemployed indie film makers that keep complaining about current films... except I don't have rich parents to fall back on.

Series premiere is tonight folks. The hour-long opening episode establishes new enemies, the DNAliens, who are later revealed to hide a startling secret.

Judging from the episode synopsis for "What are Little Girls made of", Ben and Gwen are descended from DNAlien/Human hybrids, and Gwen's older brother may be a full DNAlien

Didnt see that coming! :o But I guess it kind of makes sense, atleast for Gwen.
