That's only cable's contribution to the flood of primetime animation. There are
now a half-dozen animated primetime series on the broadcast networks. In addition to
The Simpsons, Fox has the hit King of the Hill, as well as The PJs, Futurama and
Family Guy. UPN boasts Dilbert. Meanwhile, the WB network will debut its animated
series, Mission Hill, from the former writer-producers of The Simpsons. The show, about
hip youths in an urban setting, will lead off The WB's Friday primetime lineup.
