NEW YORK -- The Cartoon Network announced that it will launch five new series during its 2004 schedule at its annual showcase of programming Wednesday night. "By greenlighting more new shows faster, ramping up production of current hits and aggressively acquiring new series, we'll have twice the amount of new programming on our air this year than we did in 2002," said Jim Samples, Cartoon Network's executive vp and general manager, who last year at the same meeting admitted that new series needed to be ramped up. The 500 new half-hours of content will include five new animated series, new episodes of returning original series and new acquisitions, Samples said. Megas XLR, a new action-comedy series created by Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic, featuring a twentysomething grease monkey who finds a robot in a New Jersey landfill, will air on May 1.
