Quote:

New Original and Acquired Programming:

• Over The Garden Wall: Headlined by an all-star voice-cast that includes Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings Trilogy), Collin Dean (The War at Home) and Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Over the Garden Wall is Cartoon Network’s first event mini-series, an animated comedy/fantasy story about two brothers, Wirt and Greg, who are trapped in a mysterious world. In this ten-part mini-series, Wirt and Greg must travel across this strange land until they find their way home, aided by a wise old Woodsman who gives them directions and a bluebird named Beatrice. Music plays an important role in the series with a soundtrack full of Americana-influenced original songs. Over The Garden Wall is created by Pat McHale and produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

• Clarence: From creator Skyler Page and premiering Monday, April 14 at 7 p.m., Clarence is a new, original animated series about an optimistic boy who wants to do everything. Because everything is amazing! Clarence was conceived as part of the prolific shorts development program at Cartoon Network Studios, which has resulted in six original series for the network: Regular Show, Uncle Grandpa, Steven Universe, Clarence, Over the Garden Wall and We Bare Bears .

• We Bare Bears: We Bare Bears is a comedy about three bear siblings, named Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear. Each episode follows their awkward attempts at assimilating into human society, whether they’re looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become internet famous. Whatever the situation, it’s obvious that being a bear in the civilized, modern world is tough—but at least they have each other. Created by Annie Award-winner Daniel Chong (Toy Story of Terror!), We Bare Bears is produced by Cartoon Network Studios.

• The Tom and Jerry Show: The iconic cat and mouse rivals are back in The Tom and Jerry Show, a new, fresh take on the classic series. Preserving the look, characters and sensibility of the original, the all-new series shines a brightly colored, high-definition lens on the madcap slapstick and never-ending battle that has made Tom and Jerry two of the most beloved characters of all time. The Tom and Jerry Show is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and will premiere Wednesday, April 9 at 5:30 p.m.

• Be Cool Scooby-Doo!: Be Cool Scooby-Doo! is an all-new 22-minute animated comedy series from Warner Bros. Animation. The Scooby gang is back with a modern comedic twist on the beloved classic. With high school over and one last summer to live it up, the gang hits the road in the Mystery Machine, chasing fun and adventure. But monsters and mayhem keep getting in the way.

• Wabbit—A Looney Tunes Production: The hilarious, heroic and mischievous Bugs Bunny you love is back! From Warner Bros. Animation, Bugs stars in an all-new series consisting of comedic shorts that find the iconic carrot-loving rabbit matching wits against (and getting the best of) classic characters like Yosemite Sam and Wile E. Coyote. Along the way, Bugs will encounter brand-new foes…and he’ll have some help from new friends like Bigfoot and Squeaks the squirrel.

• LEGO® NINJAGO: Masters of Spinjitzu: Continuing its robust partnership with The LEGO Group, Cartoon Network will re-introduce viewers to the awesome world of NINJAGO: Masters of Spinjitzu with six new half-hour animated specials in 2014, followed by all-new episodes of the highly popular series slated for 2015.

• Sonic Boom™: Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the world’s biggest gaming icons for over 20 years and this year a new branch of the Sonic universe debuts, entitled Sonic Boom™. With a new look for Sonic and friends, the franchise’s first-ever CG animated television series, an action-packed comedy adventure, will premiere on Cartoon Network with support from an extensive video game release of the same name. The Sonic Boom television series, coproduced by SEGA® of America, Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the 2014/2015 season.

• Total Drama: Pahkitew Island: All-new island! All-new cast! Same old disregard for human safety! The Total Drama series returns as Chris and Chef put the newest generation of contestants through the craziest challenges yet—all for a chance to win one million dollars! Total Drama Island is produced by Fresh TV Inc.

• Numb Chucks: Woodchuck brothers Dilweed and Fungus didn’t always see themselves as mystical Kung Fu saviors until they stumbled upon an infomercial featuring mega legend Woodchuck Morris’ mullet-fueled motivational kung-fu video “The Way of the Chuck!” With an endless supply of confidence but a limited supply of brain cells, and countless hours of watching the video, this dimwitted duo transmorph-ified into THE NUMB CHUCKS!

• Beyraiderz: Sho, Jin and Leon find themselves trapped on a strange world once defended by the Six Mythic Beasts who upheld justice and brought prosperity for all through the battling BeyRaiderz tournaments. When the Beasts mysteriously disappeared, the world fell into ruin, and now it’s up to Sho and his friends to uncover the hidden BeyRaiderz stadiums, to battle to bring the Beasts back and restore prosperity to the world!

Original “Always On” Programming for Cartoon Network Multiple Digital Platforms:

• Angelo Rules (Season 2): For a kid, life can be a daily battle. There are adults, siblings, teachers and rivals telling them what to do, what not to do, what to say… Well, it’s time for kids to take control and Angelo’s here to show the way! He observes and then comes up with elaborate strategies to wheedle, sweet-talk, con, and work around any adversary. Season two of this new series comes from TeamTo and Cake Entertainment.

• Detentionaire: Framed for a major prank and punished with a full year of detention, high schooler Lee Ping sneaks out of detention to try to expose who was really behind the prank and avoid being caught by the school’s principal Barrage. After clearing his name, Lee again attempts to sneak out of Barrage’s upgraded detention room, discovering that a strange pyramid under the school has something to do with Lee’s key, the parents council and the blue tazwurms. There is more to the school than meets the eye! Created by animators Daniel Bryan Franklin & Charles Johnston, Detentionaire is distributed by Nelvana.

• Rocket Jo: Rocket Jo is an inventor-adventurer: his unique goal is to get his jet-pack to function and send him flying in the air for good…without effect.

A lot of the new ones sound neat, so I'll give them a shot. I'm glad Regular Show, Teen Titans, and Steven Universe got renewed.

I'm looking forward to Wabbit, Over The Garden Wall, The Tom and Jerry Show, Sonic Boom, and Rocket Jo the most.

Don't know how to feel about "Be Cool Scooby Doo". It's gonna be hard to top Mystery Incorporated.

Edit: Speaking of which~

Spoiler:

Be Cool Scooby-Doo's eyes remind me of this guy:

"No respect!"

Not sure what to think of the others, I have high hopes for The Tom and Jerry show, Tom and Jerry Tales was awesome. I want to like Sonic Boom so much...but nothing so far has made me excited for it. I'm not sure about giving Bugs Bunny a sidekick, either.

Heres a teaser picture for The Tom and Jerry show:

Spoiler:

Oooh didnt know about a new Scooby series and Tom and Jerry. Really excited for those. Wabbit sounds cool too.

Sonic Boom is at the top my list though.

As a long time Scooby Doo fan, I wll say some thing I thought I'd never say, I wish they'd just stop. You can only tolerate so much, I don't know which animation series looks worse, Shaggy and Scooby - Doo Get a Clue or this? Not to mention we have to start all over again now. Why don't they either just, continue from the other series or wait a couple of years. I can't decide to end this or not? The films will probably switch to this kind of animation too like the last time, bleh :ohwell:

The Bugs one has my eye though, I'll check it out.

Too bad we don't have any new DC shows besides Titans Go! Which in my opinion is awful :x

The Tom and Jerry cartoon seems like the only interesting show.

This is what...the 10 millionth Scooby Doo series? How many times can they reboot Scooby Doo over and over again? Can't they give this franchise a rest for a few years?

Seriously, I think Scooby Doo may be the most rehashed WB property outside of Batman.

Just saw the new art style for Scooby. I see they're taking the overly cartoonish look.I wonder what the human characters will look like.

I do not think they'll use that for the movies though. They really seem to be in a separate continuity plus they never used the Mystery Inc style so I don't see them automatically matching them.

That miniseries looks interesting. I might even giv Scooby Doo a watch.

Well this sounds terrible I guess I'll only be watching this network for Adult Swim. The only good thing to come out of this is more Loony Tunes and Tom and Jerry. I don't want those properties to become like Mickey and the gang. Now that I think about has Mickey Mouse and the others actually been in anything in recent years that wasn't a videogame or a preschoolers show.

Also no new DC cartoons or worse no action cartoons. It sure is a sad day when Ben 10 and Pokemon are your networks most action packed show.

I don't watch CN at all except for Teen Titans Go! and it looks like that's the only one I really want to watch anyway.

Scooby constantly gets new shows and that's ok in my book, he's never had a very long run for a series anyway. Yeah this new art style seems iffy but say what you will, Shaggy and Scooby get a clue wasn't that bad and I welcomed the art style change, and will do here. After Mystery Inc, they really needed a new approach to Scooby since anything else wouldn't be able to match the previous show. The DTVs will continue being like htey always are.

I can't really say anything about this series; I never watched it as a kid because I found the art style so off-putting. What I can say about it is that it was at least the last time Shaggy ever sounded like Shaggy. Have I mentioned my dislike for Shaggy's current voice actor, Matthew Lillard, yet? I believe I have. The other thing I can say about that series is it's the only Scooby-Doo series that I can't find to watch online, so I guess others didn't find it that memorable.

I know many love that series, but the whole thing disappointed me. Don't get me wrong; I see why people like it. My favorite two episodes include the one where Scooby-Doo teams up with all the classic Hanna-Barbera mystery mascots like Jabberjaw, Speed Buggy, etc. The other was the team up with Dynomut and the Blue Falcon. After that episode, I learned we really, REALLY need a new Dynomutt cartoon.

But there were other things that bugged me, let’s take the ending of the series for an example, so spoilers. All the classic Scooby villains weren't trying to scare people for money or power, instead they were influenced by some ancient evil? Professor Pericles was never evil and also influenced by this evil? All the classic Scooby-Doo adventures were ret coned out of existence after defeating said evil? Come on! That's just one example. There were alot of strong points to the show, but for me, the negatives out weigh the positives. I will try to watch Be Cool Scooby-Doo with an open mind, though. Maybe it will be like A Pup Named Scooby-Doo with it's wacky visuals.

Seriously, why haven't we gotten a new Dynomutt cartoon yet?

Actually, there's been a new series of shorts featuring them that airs on the Disney channel, plus a theatrical short which played before Frozen...
