This guy's been a busy man lately, lol. I found two more interviews about him, one about the show, and the other about the game that's coming out in a few days.

There's one.

Here's the other. I found a really interesting paragraph in this one, so I'll post it, but if you want to read the whole thing, you have to go there. :p
IGN DVD: At that rate of success, would there be any chance of moving to Cartoon Network and continuing with original programming?
Cohen: It's a long shot. When they first started airing it, that was the furthest thing from our minds. But it has done so well they have contacted us to discuss that possibility, just to raise the general discussion. There's nothing moving forward. It's quite a long shot because a lot of parties would have to agree to terms how it would work, and Fox would have to be involved even though they wouldn't be airing it or possibly producing it any more, which makes it an extremely complicated proposition. Also, the animation for our show is extremely lavish by TV standards and therefore very expensive, so it's not clear if it could be done for cable TV. All of that said, it's at least the subject of discussion now, where it wasn't a couple of months ago. So you never know. I think what I see as ultimately a more likely possibility, also a long shot but not as much of a long shot, is we might be able to do a movie or two down the line. That would be great as far as I'm concerned, because that would be a way at pretty low risk you can keep the franchise going. As far as animated movies go, it would be very low budget whereas for TV it's very high budget, so we could keep the storyline going, it would look great, and because the show has a worldwide audience, I think it would be a pretty safe bet for them to make their money back. That's what I'm personally lobbying everybody for and hoping somebody will see it my way.
