This is not good, that's all I'll say...

From my www.toonzone.net post:

Cartoon Network adds two new series to its weekday morning line-up starting Monday, April 21.

Sitting Ducks, the story of an unlikely friendship between a duck and an alligator, will air weekday mornings at 8:30 am (ET/PT). Pecola, a gentle CGI-animated series starring a mischievous penguin, will air weekday mornings at 10 am (ET/PT).

Sitting Ducks is inspired by Michael Bedard's internationally known series of airbrushed paintings, posters and books. This series, created using CGI technology for a smooth, three-dimensional look, follows the adventures of Bill, a duck, and Aldo, an alligator. Though they live at opposite ends of the food chain, Bill and Aldo have a remarkable friendship. Bill's neighbors in idyllic Ducktown, Ed, Oly and Waddle, often drag the mismatched duo into wacky, and sometimes dangerous, adventures. Aldo shows remarkable restraint and patience with his feathered friends, but other gators, who reside in neighboring Swampwood, are more interested in ducks as snacks than as pals. Cartoon Network has acquired twenty-six half-hour episodes of Sitting Ducks .

Cube Town is a tiny, perfect place where everything is square - the buildings, the parks, even the residents. The only thing slightly off-kilter is Pecola, a curious and eager little penguin. Whether he's trying to help the local mail carrier win a big award or generating some excitement for Cube City's fire department, Pecola is always in the middle of the action. While he may be mischievous, Pecola always has the best intentions. Cartoon Network has acquired 26 half-hour episodes of Pecola, which features colorful and fun CGI animation.

"Pecola and Sitting Ducks are both whimsical and sweet series that feature popular CGI animation. We think they'll be perfect additions to our weekday morning line-up," said Jim Samples, Cartoon Network general manager and executive vice president. "Pecola is gentle and colorful, perfect for 10 am, when we have a younger audience tuning in. Sitting Ducks has a wry bite that will satisfy viewers at 8:30 am every weekday."

I think my lucky stars that I grew up in a period of creativity. I feel sorry for kids today who get stuck with such lame garbage.
