Thanks MonkeyDoom, I was afraid I'd have to double post.

I'm not sure how many episodes EE&E got, but I can try to find out (if someone else doesn't do so first).
Anyway, found a little more news just now at the The Animation Guild's blog-
Quote:
Just now Cartoon Network -- housed next to the Burbank Police Department in fabled "Downtown Burbank" -- has the Chowder crew developing new episodes on an upper floor and the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends animators working on half-hours of that serious on another ...
Foster's, since the beginning of its run, has produced a goodly number of its episodes in-house. CN doesn't produce all of the series locally, but splits animation duties between crews in California and Ireland.
Back when the show started production, management told me that the Irish animation crew had a narrow edge in cost-per-ep. (With the stellar performance of the American dollar over the past year, I don't know if this remains true.)

And then a commenter added in comments-

Boulder Studio in Dublin is no longer doing any animation for Foster's. They had been splitting animation duties with CNS's in-house Flash unit through season four. With the start of season five early last year, all animation has been done in-house. So CNS, in fact, does produce all of the series locally, in fabled "Downtown Burbank".

Wow, I didn't even know my favorite show had any ties to Ireland. Interesting.
Doesn't exactly have to do with the Upfront, but news, none the less.
The blog does contain a link to another report on the Upfront, however. Although I think most have seen it already-
Quote:
Cartoon Network has designated Thursday nights as the new destination
for comedy. Anchored by its new animated hit Chowder, which the
network announced today has been picked up for a second season,
Thursdays will also feature existing laughers Foster's Home for
Imaginary Friends, Camp Lazlo and George of the Jungle and offer a
platform for new series launches including this summer's The Marvelous
Misadventures of Flapjack.

Not identical, but similar to another quote shared by another report on the Upfront.
