Do you love professional tennis and completely unnecessary re-imaginings of classic cartoon characters and wish you could see a television series that combines them both? Well, you can't. At least not really. The closest you're going to get is the February 17 episode of Loonatics Unleashed that will feature tennis star Serena Williams as the voice of Queen Athena, leader of the Apacazons, a race of powerful women who confront the Loonatics while they're on vacation on a tropical island.
Williams also voiced herself along with her sister Venus on the Simpsons episode "Tennis the Menace." She has also appeared on ER, Law and Order: SVU, The Bernie Mac Show, My Wife and Kids and The Division. The Loonatics Unleashed episode will air February 17 at 8:00 a.m. on the CW.

"Completely unnecessary"? Whether something is necessary is far from the point. No one has (nor should have) an all-consuming need for ANY TV show. The justification for the show is if it has a market. Any show with a large-enough market is "necessary", at least in terms of economics and popularity. It's for fun; it's not supposed to be necessary.

If you dislike the show for other reasons, well, that's another thing.
