...show series for the current season. The network also has an option to keep the series going for seven years beyond that. In future weeks Gerald will preside over the same lively blend of the whimsical and the wacky. There will be cartoons on such artists and inventors as Henri Rousseau, Robert Fulton and Samuel F.B.
