Mark Burnett crosses over into animation

Mark Burnett is no longer exclusively making reality TV shows. He has crossed over into animation and has signed a deal with the popular online animation site Liquid Generation to develop cartoon TV comedies.Burnett is best known for creating the reality shows Survivor and The Apprentice. This would be his first venture into animation. Considering how much money he's made from reality television, I don't think it's that much of a risk for him.
Liquid Generation is known for interactive quizzes and games such as "Indiana Jones Artifacts or Pier 1 Imports" and "Whoose Boobs?". Visitors can also watch the lives of the lice that live in Amy Winehouse's beehive hair. On first glance, it seems a match made in heaven.
Mark Burnett Productions will produce Liquid Generations first three television projects, including "Witness Protection" and "Rapper In Chief". Why do I get the feeling that these new shows will be going for the same demographic that watches Rock of Love?
