- Oxygen's SheDidWhat.tv launched its first online talent competition seeking the best idea for a comedy targeting women aged 18-39. Comedian Molly Shannon will judge the best 3-5 minute video and two-page treatment submitted through August 31.

- G4's animated Code Monkeys show will premiere on male-oriented video sharing site Break.com on June 27, two weeks prior to its on air debut July 11 at 9 pm ET.

- Turner's Adult Swim takes another lap, as the late-night programming block, which runs on Cartoon Network overnight, expands to seven nights a week with the addition of Fridays. The Adult Swim weekly schedule will now go like this: Monday-Saturday, 11p-6a and Sundays 10p-6a. Launched in September 2001 with three hours of programming two nights a week, by January 2003 Adult Swim had stretched to five nights a week (Sunday-Thursday) and two years later in March 2005 moved to an overnight scheduled 11p-6a.

I give it another two years tops before they turn into their own network.

That would make me happy, because seeing shit like Saul of the Molemen on CARTOON NETWORK really annoys me. Though watch them call it Cartoon Adult Network just to annoy me further.

Of course, Saul of the Molemen should die in a fire anyway.

So when are they going to premier new cartoon network originals? I do like Adult Swim, but Billy and Mandy is also great.

It would totally be my favorite network too.
