*    Robotomy: The animated Robotomy tells the story of Thrasher and Blastus, two outsider teenage droids who are only slightly less horrific than the ultra-powerful robots that populate their planet, Killglobe.  Now they face their greatest challenge yet:  high school.  Armed with a desire to fit in (and little else), Thrasher and Blastus navigate their lives with varying degrees of success. Created by Michael Buckley (The Sisters Grimm) and Joe Deasy and co-executive produced by Christy Karacas (Superjail), Robotomy, a quarter-hour series, will be produced in New York.

*    Secret Mountain Fort Awesome: When a portal to the world opened and unleashes underground monsters, so goes the premise for Secret Mountain Fort Awesome.  The human world had everything these creatures could ever want. The only problem is, humans hate monsters, and they treat them like second class citizens.  How unfair!  This is their world too.  Created by Chowder writer and artist Pete Browngardt, Secret Mountain Fort Awesome follows this clan in their dim-witted efforts to break free of human oppression.  The animated series is being produced at Cartoon Network Studios.  

*    The Looney Tunes Show: A new half-hour animated comedy series starring Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.  No longer confined to 7-minute shorts, Bugs and Daffy are out of the woods and living in the suburbs among such colorful neighbors as Yosemite Sam, Granny, Tweety and Sylvester.  In addition to each episode’s main story, The Looney Tunes Show also features “cartoons within a cartoon.”  The Tasmanian Devil, Speedy Gonzales, Marvin the Martian and other classic characters sing original songs in two-minute music videos called Merrie Melodies and the Road Runner and Coyote are featured in 2-1/2 minute CG shorts.  This all new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation.  Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer.  Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone (both Duck Dodgers, Back at the Barnyard, Space Jam) are the supervising producers.

*    Young Justice: In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over—to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself.  But what if you’re not just a normal teenager?  What if you’re a teenage super hero?  Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League?  That’s exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero.  This all-new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics.  Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer.  Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.

*    Run It Back Sunday: Cartoon Network takes The NBA on TNT’s game of the week and remixes it for basketball fans of all ages.  Run It Back Sunday is a full NBA game in one power hour, complete with fun facts, amazing highlights and explosive special effects.  From jams, passes and steals to fun facts and unique analysis, Run It Back Sunday presents an all new way to catch the game of the week.
