Cartoon Network’s Updated New Cartoon Series

Cartoon will resurrect two veteran cartoon franchises, Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes, for new series within its animation slate. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated will showcase new thrillers for the Mystery Inc. gang, while The Looney Tunes Show will feature classic cartoon characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

Other animated projects include Robotomy, about two teenage droids interacting among human kids in high school; Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, which follows underground monsters shunned by humans; Young Justice, a takeoff on cartoon’s Justice League that showcases several teen superheroes trying to earn their stripes: and Mad, a sketch comedy produced in part by Mad magazine.

The network will jump into the awards show arena in 2011 with Cartoon Network’s Hall of Game, honoring the best sports stars and sports moments of the year as chosen by the viewers.

Cartoon will put its best content up against other cable competitors such as Disney XD, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons and The Hub, the forthcoming Discovery Communications/ Hasbro network partnership.
