Hey guys,
I just checked around, and I got a list of what we're to expect for 2010-2011 on Nickelodeon. Here are some that they're making, and my opinion on it:
2010
Invader ZIM (Reruns of the old episodes, now I'm excited ;D)
Planet Sheen (Jimmy Neutron spin-off, which just sounds stupid from the title)
Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness (Whilst the movie was fantastic in my eyes, this is just going to bomb...)
T.U.F.F. Puppy (New Butch Hartman cartoon about a secret agent dog, I'm excited for this one)
2011
Monsters VS Aliens: The Series (No... just no...)
Power Rangers (Not much of a PR fan...)
I'm not sure about their air dates, however IZ is airing this summer, and Planet Sheen comes to the US in November... jeez, I'm worried how Planet Sheen's gonna turn out...
If you have anything else to add, feel free to.
~Paws

I've seen a lot of material for Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness and it's shaping up to be a pretty fun show. The characters don't look as good as they did in the movies, obviously, but I think they look well enough so that the kids won't mind. The replacement cast is the same one that worked on the video game, so I believe they should sound well enough. The episodes are going to be full-length and not divided up into segments.
T.U.F.F. Puppy is another series that I'm looking forward to. My faith in Butch Hartman isn't what it once was, but I've seen storyboards for the series and they look like a lot of fun. Kitty Katswell will likely be my favorite character; she kicked ass in the storyboards and I really like her appearance.
Planet Sheen I'm less optimistic about, but I've seen some material for it as well and it should be good. I'm disappointed by their decision to change Aseefa's appearance, as she looked downright adorable with a tail, but I guess I can't complain. Sheen was always my favorite character in Jimmy Neutron so it should be worth checking out.
That Monsters Vs. Aliens series isn't confirmed yet. It's just a pilot, but unlike the movie, it's going to focus more on B.O.B. instead of Susan and the other members of the team.

Well the Invader Zim stuff does sound interesting  As for Planet Sheen... just from the title like you said, I agree, stupid. Why do the side characters need a series spin off? THEY DON'T. Kung Fu Panda... great.. another movie that gets its own crappy TV series >>; probably gonna be like when they made that TAK series. |

The Penguins Of Madagascar is a great series and I’m sure Nickelodeon will do their best to make the Kung Fu Panda series great as well. As I’ve said, I’ve seen storyboards. You can check them out for yourself; just toggle the spoiler box to see them. The texture on the characters isn’t what it once was, but as you can see, they still look alright. |

Kung Fu Panda, now I'm pretty excited  I loved that movie, as I previously stated, and now it's making me a bit hyped up. You rock, Huntsman! *Highfive* |

I have to agree Nemo, it got old for me pretty quick *sigh* Where are the good Nicktoons from back in the day? I miss my childhood.

However, I think TUFF puppy sounds a bit interesting... hmm..
To Huntsman: Btw I was NOT being pessimistic. You're allowed to not like a show you know C:

I've seen the Penguins of Madagascar, and I'll just say.. I don't like it. That’s fair, but it’s not for a lack of effort. They’ve got good people working on it. A lot of the people who worked on Brandy & Mr. Whiskers and Kim Possible jumped ship to Nickelodeon and have been working on the series. I personally believe that many of the episodes have actually been better than either movie, and that’s saying something. Kung Fu Panda, now I'm pretty excited I loved that movie, as I previously stated, and now it's making me a bit hyped up. You rock, Huntsman! *Highfive* You’re welcome. I’ve been following the development of animated programs as somewhat of a hobby. Most of the things that I find aren’t meant to be found, but I’ve become somewhat skilled at finding these things. Unfortunately I have to walk a fine line. I have storyboards for various shows that I would love to post, such as the ones for T.U.F.F. Puppy, but if I jump the gun and post too much too soon, somebody might get into trouble. The last thing that I want to do is cost somebody their job just because I wanted to post the storyboards I found. |

T.U.F.F. Puppy (New Butch Hartman cartoon about a secret agent dog, I'm excited for this one) How come that reminds me of a cross between, Cats & Dogs along with that, Spy Dog show (I can't remember the title. o.o) Well, at least they're not showing it on, Disney. X3 So that's a plus side there. X3 Well, If it's focussing around those annoying blob aliens, something tells me it would be as annoying as hanging about with hyperactive four year olds who appear on, Supernanny and don't understand the meaning of the word, No, Calm Or Down. O.O |

Well, If it's focussing around those annoying blob aliens, something tells me it would be as annoying as hanging about with hyperactive four year olds who appear on, Supernanny and don't understand the meaning of the word, No, Calm Or Down. O.O I don't remember much about Jimmy Neutron, but no, Planet Sheen is using entirely original characters - except for Sheen himself. You can see a bunch of character designs, used or unused, here. Here is the one for Aseefa; the top left ones are the final design, which disappoints me, as the bottom right one was just so cute. At the very least I wish they would have kept her tail. |

Looks more like, Avatar the Animated Series. O.O has been in development for ages. I first heard rumors about it in 2007. The guy who uploaded those mentioned that those designs were created two years before Avatar hit theaters. |
