Teen Titans Go! premieres tonight

"Teen Titans Go!," a more comedic update of the WB's beloved "Teen Titans" toon of several years ago debuts on the Cartoon Network tonight. Nice to see the show reunites the original voice cast:
Teen Titans Go! continues the original's anime style and reunites the original voice cast in the roles of the five DC Comics-inspired crime-fighters: Scott Menville as Robin, Tara Strong as Raven, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Creg Cipes as Beast Boy and Hynden Walch as Starfire. "It was as if no time had past," Strong says of the actors' recording-booth reunion. "We have this really kibitzy, fun relationship with each other. We slid right back into those characters."
 Teen Titans Go! airs Tuesdays at 7:30/6:30c on Cartoon Network and replays Saturdays mornings at 10:30/11:30c, during the network's DC Nation block.
