More Toons on the Tube

On the occasion of tonight's premiere of Dreamwork's "Father of the Pride" on NBC, this article on MSNBC.com takes a look at the current boom in animated programming on network and cable TV. The article includes a look at current and future programming on Fox and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, among others:

Adult Swim is finally getting a production budget, and the result will be several new shows in the next year. The first one recently premiered: "The Venture Bros.," an action cartoon spoof sure to be oversimplified as "Jonny Quest after puberty," with gratuitous sex, violence, nudity, drug use and Patrick Warburton defiling mummies. Coming soon are a family of hillbilly squids, a cop comedy with a talking car, untitled projects from actor Seth Green and OutKast's Andre 3000, and new episodes of "Family Guy" to air both on cable and on Fox. And a project to bring the controversial comic strip "Boondocks" to television, just rejected by Fox, has been revived by Cartoon Network.
