Cartoon draws four new skeins.
NEW YORK As part of its $500 million investment in original programming over the next five years, Cartoon Network has greenlit four animated series.
At a press conference Feb. 21 in Gotham, the cartoon cabler also announced it has ordered more than 110 new episodes of renewed original programs, including "Courage the Cowardly Dog," "Mike, Lu & Og," "Ed, Edd `n' Eddy," "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Sheep in the Big City."
In addition, the net plans to premiere 11 series pilots in summer 2001 as part of "The Big Pick II," during which viewers will be able to vote online for the next new original series. During "The Big Pick" in August 2000, viewers selected "Grim & Evil," which will join Cartoon's lineup in October.
