Shocka! Cartoon Network Renews CW For A Second Season...Plus Preview of Season Finale

As though there was ever any doubt, Cartoon Network has picked up a second season of Clone-y goodness. According to the press release, it's the #1 cable show among boys although I'm sure there's also a large audience of not-so-young fans who TiVo or download it that's not being counted.

A Celebration V Announcement This Summer?

A fan who attended New York Comic Con this past weekend filed a long report with TFN and one of the things he learned about is Celebration V:

After the panel, my wife and I caught up with Steve at the 501st booth on the Galleria Level. We had brought our copy of The Star Wars Vault, which Steve signed for us on the slipcase and on the book's cover. After speaking with him for a few minutes, my wife started talking about the next upcoming Celebration, and she tried to get Steve to divulge a little tidbit about C5. Alas, she was unsuccessful in getting any concrete details from him (and she was laying on the "charm factor" pretty heavily), but Steve did tell her to expect the official C5 announcement to come this summer. Steve said they want to keep the announcements released a year prior to the convention, so it appears that we will have to wait a few more months before anything official hits the Interweb.

Interesting, no? I guess we will learn then what humble burg will get the convention: Chicago, Baltimore, back in Indy, or some other locale.
