Guess what, I'm never done. So let's go with this batch...
  • There are far more studios outside of LA. With locations for other major movie production businesses being...
    • Y'allywood: Houston, TX
    • Motorwood: Detroit, MI
    • New Broadway: Philadelphia, PA
    • Dixiewood: Miami, FL
  • In addition, Disney has many animation divisions in these new film making hubs. For instance, the Y'allywood is where they have most of their 2D films made in the 2020s onward.
  • Don Bluth, who is still at Disney ITTL, makes the following films. He is eventually promoted to CEO in 1998.
    • The Secret of Nimh is placed to the side as Disney considers it too similar to The Rescuers. So he makes their first fairy tale adaptation since Sleeping Beauty, an adaptation of Kate Crackernuts, starring Catherine Cavadini as the titular Kate and Desiree Goyette as Anne.
    • The Secret of Nimh is released later in 1983, due to Disney not having any other films.
    • The Land Before Time is released in 1987.
    • An American Tail is mostly the same as OTL.
    • During the Disney Renaissance, Bluth's work is primarily non-musical works. Which Disney at the time had mostly abandoned.
    • Don Bluth's adaptation of Thumbalenia acts more as a satire of his own company's tendency to focus on musicals at the expense of non musical animation.
This is pretty great imo. I really like the sound of all of these. What are the effects of more Hollywood-like location?
What of Titan AE?

  • In the case of at least Detroit, I imagined the result of declining industry, if that even happens in my TL, being less serious. Also, less centralized film production permits for more diversity in the types of studios.
  • It would be made after Atlantis: The Lost Empire is better made and received than in OTL. Coming out in 2003.
More is to come soon. As I said, I always have new ideas. Even if some cancel out older ones.

I eve imagiend some types of films these new locations would be known for...
  • Y'allywood: Revitalized the Western after its decline in the 60s.
  • Motorwood: Revitalized musical films.

Although not personally a utopia of mine, I think many people would prefer Bluth being non-Disney, but having better luck in the 90's.
 
I neglected to mention some people who live far longer than OTL, but still die eventually.
  • Hans conreid
  • Bobby Driscoll
  • Daws Butler
  • Paul Winchell
  • Paul Frees
  • Don Messick
  • Pat Burtramm
  • Mel Blanc
Mark Kay bergman is still alive though, and voices on South Park.

Okay, so that's a neat idea. In fact, India has a similar system mostly due to its language diversity, so not that far from OTL.
 
Another few things about how films work in the cinema. It is still as it was in the 40s. But with a few changes.
  • Theatrical cartoons work mainly as filler until the movie begins, albeit between the previews and the actual film.
 
The moment you've been waiting for. But in three parts, divided by the decade. This expresses when the cartoons started though certainly close ones will be included.

Western Animation Part 1 (1990s)
  • Western animation would become even more applauded and celeberated as greater works would be made and accomplished over time. Furthermore, as a result of the phenomena in film and live action television, many problematic animators are either cut out away or ended up going to counseling to get rid of their bad behaviors while others would just no longer do them.
  • In addition, California would no longer be the main hub for animation as Turner would still focus of work in Atlanta and work with SCAD while New York would also work with animators among other locations popping up.
  • Merchandising is handled alot better and tastefully with respect to kids and adults in mind.
  • Many older cartoons are granted large DVD sets and release as a response to piracy and later on, be added to be downloaded for a fee.
Kids WB
  • Superman: The Animated Series is a fair-bit light hearted and more optimistic in tone. It's also more popular and successful than in OTL, showing the importance and relevance of Superman in the mainstream.
  • Batman: The Animated Series still does well, but the "New Adventures" does not use as many redesigns, albeit they keep the color schemes (i.e. The Joker still looks like his original self, albeit with slicker colors). Furthermore, the romantic subtext between Batgirl and Batman is never introduced, instead being focused on Dick and Babs. Some of the plots from the OTL comics are used for episodes (such as explaining the drastic change for Poison Ivy and the reveal that the original retired and left a plant clone.) [Yes i KNOW this is aired originally on Fox Kids, but I complied it here for it to be easier.]
  • Batman Beyond has several changes. Max is more well-liked and well-recieved over all, serving as Terry's version of Oracle while Dana gets more screentime and showing off her capabilities. Other former villains and associates of Bruce appear, such as old Dick Grayson, who also appears in Return of the Joker as well as Selina Kyle, who becomes Melanie's benefactor (as well as discovering Terry's secret as Batman.) Some of the stuff from the tie-in comics (such as detailing the origins of some of the characters like Curare) are incorporated into the show. The show goes on for several seasons. Cobra is not introduced, with Terry gaining a new archenemy instead through a reimagined Prometheus.
  • Freakazoid lasts longer and does just as well as Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toons and Animanaics. More characters are introduced, namely Freakazette, the alter-ego of Steff after an accident giving her similar powers. In a twist of irony, Freakazette finds Freakazoid somewhat annoying and unfocused, though she is little better than he is (they are still friends though.) This contrasts with Steff admiring and looking up to the superhero. Further adding to the irony, is that while Steff only likes Dexter for being Freakazoid and initially finding him a creep, Freakazette is very fond of him romantically and prefers him over Freakazoid, saying she finds his dorkiness cute while viewing him as smart and reliable (Freakazoid naturally lampshades the irony several times.) Voiced by Arleen Sorkin (using a similar voice as Harley Quinn)
  • Pinky, Elmyra & The Brain is not made.
Nickelodeon
  • Angry Beavers finishes off on a higher note and continues for 5 seasons in total.
  • KaBlam! lasts alot longer than in OTL and ends off on a high note in early 2000s. Plans for a successor show would be announced in 2018 following the revivial of All That in the same year.
  • Hey Arnold avoids making some of their worse episodes while its theatrical film does much better than OTL. The Jungle Movie is also released at around the time it was planned to. Furthermore, Bartlett would end up pitching his The Patakis idea to Nickelodeon years down the line and would end up making it into a mini-series on TeenNICK. It does not do as well as expected (due to the lack of familiar characters outside of the Patakis), but remains a cult classic for approach serious subject matters. It lasts for one season before ending by having Helga and her family move back to their old town and Helga reuniting with her friends and Arnold.
  • Spongebob Squarepants ends after the Spongebob Squarepants Movie though several mroe episodes are still made periodically as "specials" (such as "Dunces and Dragons", "Best Day Ever," "Friend or Foe" and so on.) The specials are also longer than they are in OTL. Nick said that this was done because interest was maintained in Spongebob and done as exercises in creativity regarding the versatility of the characters.
  • Catdog ends after their reunion with their parents special.
  • Doug remains on Nickelodeon
Disney
  • Goof Troop would end up doing better than OTL and as previous mentioned, would inspire two spin-offs. One taking place after Goof Troop that examines Max's high school years (with The Goofy Movie) taking place after the first season and then later, another sequel taking place after An Extreme Goofy Movie focusing on Max's college years. It would showcase him, PJ and Bobby growing up (with plenty of development for the latter) along with a strong cast of supporting characters. The series would end with Roxanne aceepting Max's proposal and the group of friends going on a road trip to celeberate the engagement and graduating college.
  • Quack Pack is not greenlit as a series, but its pilot remains online. While some were confused about the potential direction, it remained interesting because of the character and design evolutions of the triplets. Said designs and character differences would serve important later down the line.
  • Gargoyles runs for as long as Greg Weisman wishes it to and some of the new plot ideas are taken from the would-be comic. The show becomes a massive classic and gold standard for the show. Weisman would also get two spin-offs in Pendragon, focusing on King Arthur and his journey shortly after the series and later Gargoyles: The Dark Ages, a prequel series made after Weisman's Spectacular Spider-Man is finished.
  • Pepper Ann is much more recognized and appreciated than in OTL.
Other
  • SwatKats ends up running longer than in OTL and more remmebered in the mainstream for its successes.
  • The later seasons of cartoons such as Dexter's Laboratory, the Powerpuff Girls and Ed, Edd n Eddy are better appreciated and better written.
  • The Simpsons ends up running for 8 seasons and finishing in 1997. Despite the show ending, the Simpsons continues on through the Halloween specials, Treehouse of Horror series that airs every Halloween though the segments are longer than in OTL (being an hour instead of half an hour). In addition, specials or such are still made. The show experiences a revival when in 2007, The Simpsons Movie is released in threaters. It shows the family decades in the future with Bart expecting his first child and Lisa wrestling with how her public appearance as a strong independent woman has been straining her personal life, all while the family reunites to save Springfield from disaster. It also confirms several fan theories (such as Allison Taylor being related to the Ruth and Laura Powers when the three along with Mr. Taylor are seen together, the reveal that Allison was born from a drunken one-night stand with Mr. Taylor (revealed to be an old friend from hers) after Ruth's divorce with her ex and Allison and Ruth's meeting would led to Mr. Taylor and Ruth getting together.) The film was a massive success for reinvigorating the franchise and in 2017, a sequel series to the Simpsons is released, with Bart and Lisa along with their kids as the main characters, with Bart and Lisa moving back to Springfield and choosing to live together to make financial expenses easier. The sequel series takes a Simpsonian approach to the New 10s life while approaching with new problems in different ways. Current recieving high reviews.

How exactly is Return of the Joker different from OTL?

L Ron Hubbard becomes a bona fide science fiction writer in the 1950s, no Dianetics.

Jeffrey Hunter lives longer, also he does a Star Trek series centering on Captain Pike rather than James T Kirk.

Robert E Howard lives to become a successful fantasy writer, returning to the genre with the encouragement of L Sprague de Camp after his mother's death.

Glenn Miller doesn't disappear in 1944.

Ernie Pyle doesn't get killed

They last longer:

Kolchack: The Night Stalker original series, 1974, second season begins with a two part episode set in Hawaii and dealing with cloning

Freaks and Geeks lasts at least two more seasons

Space: Above and Beyond gets another season resolving how the war started
 
Additional details about Thomas in the CGI era.
  • The writers are mostly the same as Season 17 onwards.
  • The visuals are mroe impressive. Almost on par with Pixar.
  • The moements introduced in Journmey Beyond Sodor onwards is present from the start. But toned down to be more like Pixar's Cars.
  • A narrator is still present.
 
Stan and Kyle become a couple on South Park after Kyle helps Stan through his depression that the two grow so close they develop romantic feelings similar to Tweek and Craig but less forced ang give more time and focus to develop. I think this would be a great replacement for season long story arcs.
 
I think I'll add an additional detail on my alternate take in the Ringu series.
  • Sadako is portrayed as having a younger sibling, named Katsuji. A brother based off the infant son from the novels. One flashback Reiko and Ryuji discover is one where some Yakuza tried to kill him. But Sadako responded the same way she did the reporter who attacked Shizuko. (In the tape, which is longer than OTL, this is symbolized by the nameless face right before the towel man.)
  • Katsuji is interrogated by Reiko and Ryuji on his sister's whereabouts in the original film. This takes place shortly after they go to the Yamamura Inn, but before meeting Takashi Yamamura the next day.
 
Western Animation (2000s)
  • Western animation would become even more applauded and celeberated as greater works would be made and accomplished over time. Furthermore, as a result of the phenomena in film and live action television, many problematic animators are either cut out away or ended up going to counseling to get rid of their bad behaviors while others would just no longer do them.

  • Merchandising is handled alot better and tastefully with respect to kids and adults in mind.
  • Many older cartoons are granted large DVD sets and release as a response to piracy and later on, be added to be downloaded for a fee.
  • Popular and well-done animated shows are easier access across country lines (such as Canada-US-Mexico). This has the channels be mroe selective on shows to air from other productions such as from Teletoon.
Kids WB
  • Teen Titans goes on for two more seasons, for a total of seven seasons. However, some characterization is different, with the Robin here being explicitly Dick Grayson (in OTL, he was an amalgation of Dick, Jason and Tim, albeit the most like Dick) and thus, somewhat more light-hearted (with his serious nature being the result of his temporary split from Batman.)
    • The sixth season would focus on Starfire, much how the other seasons focused on other Titans. With everything changing, Starfire has to deal with change and who she wants to be on Earth with it as her home, especially with how much her friends have changed. In addition, it would also see the Titans go into space, specifically the Vega System to encounter the real Citadel and team with the Omega Men, a group of super heroic resistance fighters while Starfire would reunite once more with Blackfire. Here, more of Blackfire's past and motivations are discovered and during the sisters' fight, Blackfire finally realizes that much of her suffering was self-inflicted and how she pushed away anyone who cared about her, especially Starfire. Despite this, Starfire rescues her sister and in turn Blackfire sacrifices herself to save Starfire and apologizes, though she survives due to being rescued by the Omega Men. She decides to stay with them to atone for her misdeeds and finally patch things up with her sister. Meanwhile, the sixth season would have some foreshadowing regarding Terra's sudden reappearance as well as the appearance of her older brothers, Gregor (the leader of Markovia) and Brion (Geo-Force). Seen either in the background or Geo-Force going to talk to Beast Boy (though one episode also has the amnesiac Terra help an injured Beast Boy out.)
  • The foreshadowing would culminate in the seventh and final season, focusing partially on Terra and on the team as a while. It would have the Titans go and help Geoforce save the micronation of Markovia from the traitorous Baron Bedlam, the Bad Samaritan and their superpowered muscle, the Masters of Disaster. Starting out with Terra being stalked, she turns to Beast Boy for help, he ends up being overwhelmed and Terra's memories are restored to her as she is captured. Her mini-arc would deal with her coming to terms over her past and that she can no longer run away from it. She assists her brothers in stopping the coup, but finds herself at a loss of what to do with her life. She stays in Markovia for the time being to talk with her brothers.
  • Later on, the team would reunite with Geoforce who has formed his own team through the Outsiders. Older than the Titans, but younger than their comic counterparts, they consist of a band of misfits who seek to atone for their mistakes by being heroes. Led by Katana (who maintains the magic sword possessed by her husband), the team includes Technocrat (a former head of a tech company who uses power armor for atonement), Halo, Wylde (who would still have his friendship/bodyguard relation with Technocrat, but his powers would be amped. In the comics, he could become a bear man, but in the show, he'd be an amalgamation of all sorts of beasts) and Sebastian Faust. He formed the team to help protect the nation and surrounding area while going more into the source of Terra's powers. The two teams initially butt heads, but must work together to stop an army of vampires led by Roderick, a vampire who once fought with Dracula centuries ago. Terra helps reseal the vampires and while declared a hero, she decides that Markovia is not for her and goes traveling, promising to keep in touch with her brothers and to meet up with the Titans again and they can call on her for help.
  • Other season seven episodes would include a two-parter where the Team goes to an Anti-Earth, where they fight their villain counterparts, the Teen Terrors (instead of the Teen Tyrants of the spinoff comics.) Would be led by Talon and consist of evil counterparts of the main team. Others would include checking out Titans North and South, the return fo Red X and the heavy implications he is in fact Jason Todd and the foreshadowing of Slade's return with Ravager, his daughter, looking for him. The series finale is a multi-parter featuring the return of Slade. While remaining mysterious, his motives become a bit more clear that he wishes to have someone continue his work, yet becoming angry that he keeps being abandoned by his "apprentices". The team ultimately defeat him, with Ravager and Terra making appearances. The epilogue shows the team all grown up as adults and watching over the new generation of Titans.
  • The Batman is still made, albeit with some tweaks and alterations, namely in some of the designs, such as with Batgirl. The theme song does not change and the Justice League is not introduced within the series (due to the show going on at the time) though some references to the Teen Titans show are made, such as Killer Moth's disappearance in TT and reappearance in The Batman, regarding his mutations. Furthermore, Batgirl and Robin make their appearances in Season 2 rather than in Season 3. However, Robin ends up leaving in early Season 4 after growing conflicts with Bruce. Batgirl sticks around though leaves for college later on. Bruce ends up taking a new Robin around Dick's age, heavily impled to be Jason Todd though he would end up leaving in the Season 4 finale due to his different incentives and would leave Bruce. Season 5 does introduce other heroes, such when Batman does work with the Flash (his personality more akin to Barry's and thus confirming the Kid Flash in TT is Wally) though most of the heroes are lesser known heroes and so on. Season 5 ends with a victory of Batman over the arc villain of Wrath and Scorn, with the help of a returning Dick Grayson, who appears as an older version of Robin and becomes Nightwing in the series finale.
  • Johnny Test only lasts for one season before being cancelled, being called a somewhat decent cartoon.
  • Loonatics Unleashed or Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island are not made.
  • Static Shock runs for longer than in OTL, but is still a beloved classic, though some of the episodes are better written and not as involved with celebrity cameos. Shebang also remains a reoccuring character. This revived interest in the Milestone Comics branch of DC Comics and Static would be brought into the main DC universe, eventually becoming a protege of Black Lightning.
  • Legion of Superheroes are still made, but is more well-known and better written. Though rather than the focus being on Superboy, it instead focuses on the founding members of the Legion though Mon-El joins up over time and the series examines plenty aspects about how being a superhero is in the far future and on the nature of good vs evil in the long run.
  • Xiaolin Showdown goes on for longer, the storyline finishing when the Heylin forces are defeated for good along with figuring out what exactly was Hannibal Roy Bean's ultimate plan. In addition, Jack ends up leaving the side of evil for good and becoming an ally of the Dragons later on.
  • Ozzy and Drix also goes on for a bit longer and becomes a surprisingly cult hit in investigating health and body functions. Some of the episodes are fairly different along with a few details, such as how Ozzy and Drix end up in Hector (still via Mosquito, but while during former body was on a hike.)
  • Spectacular Spider-Man is not cancelled in Season 2 and instead continues to Peter's high school graduation. Events include Peter and Harry patching things up when Harry chooses his best friend over his manipulative father, Peter ends up with Mary Jane Watson with Gwen initially looking after Harry before a near-death experience has her and her father move. James Joneson ends up recovering from the near-insanity caused by the spores and ends up helping Silver Sable reform. After Sandman's retirement, Hydro-Man is introduced to take his place. Harry, Mary-Jane, Gwen and Liz discover Peter is Spider-Man in different episodes. After Peter patches things up with Harry and Liz, he supports the two entering their own relationship together. Black Cat also discovers Peter's identity and after a talk, lets go of her grudge to him before leaving (secretly lamenting her loss at her chance of a romantic relationship with him, especially after she spends time with him in their civilian identities Other big events include the reveal of Peter's parents and their importance and plenty of other events that have made Specactular Spider-Man the definitive Spider-Man series in the eyes and hearts of many,
Cartoon Network
  • Kids Next Door would continue to run as normal, though the Galactic Kids Next Door sequel series would be picked up instead of the 2016 reboot of the Powerpuff Girls
  • Samurai Jack would go on for several more seasons than OTL and remain one of the most popular and critically-acclaimed shows on Cartoon Network. The show's final episode would feature Jack returning to the past as an old man through the use of the time gate that was foreshadows many episodes prior and defeating Aku. However, the show would be revived through an "extra" season in an alternate timeline showing what if Aku simply erased the time portals and the unexpected consequences (such as Jack gaining his quasi-immortality.)
  • Megas XLR would continue to run as intended and parody several other animes and cartoons with mostly humorous effect, though many noted the homage episode to Neon Genesis Evangelion was surprisingly dark, albeit appropriately. Many also found the revelation of Coop behind the creation of the Glorft (albeit by complete accident) was also hilarious as well as the fact that no other character learns of this (besides Coop.) The series would end with the final defeat of the Glorft and saving the future, though it leaves Jamie with amnesia (so he could get together with Ally), Kiva disappearing into the new future and Coop continuing life as normal. The show also contained alot less jabs at family-friendly entertainment.
  • Fosters' Home for Imaginary Friends is alot better written and many of the divisive or unpopular episodes are removed entirely or extensively rewritten. Cheese is not overused as a character and Bloo is not flanderized into a colossal jerk.
  • The Life and Times of Juniper Lee is a more popular and appreciated show, doing well to compete against other teen-hero shows.
  • My Gym Partner's A Monkey is a bit better written and with the divisive or panned episodes changed or just not written.
  • Class of 3000 goes on for longer and becomes a cult classic regarding musical shows. It also contains plenty of references and homages to various Atlanta locations, groups and phenomena, becoming very beloved in the city.
  • The Secret Saturdays goes on for another season and continue to do well, though also dipping into darker and more serious territory. They would still do a crossover with Ben 10, though the show is portrayed as an alternate universe, (such as how the crossover with Generator Rex). Furthermore, the show takes place during Alien Force, albeit with a similar plot (Animo and V.V. Argost working together, with Animo having arrived in the TSSverse after the events of him in the Null Void.) They would star in a second crossover with Ben 10 though also with Generator Rex in Omniverse (with Zak being 19 and engaged with Wadi).
  • Ben 10 Alien Force has plenty of changes:
  • Rather than taking place 5 years after the end of the original Ben 10, the show takes place about three years after, with Ben and Gwen turning 13. Furthermore, instead of Kevin joining the group, the third member making their group is Cooper Daniels, who serves as a good foil to Ben. While Ben remains the same heroic individual, he is a bit more moody (Omniverse revealed this to be because of Feedback's fate) and emotional (implied due to be due to hormones.) Gwen's reveal of her Anodite background is better explained along with her magic (it's revealed she has gotten rusty in her spellcraft while her forming mana constructs and levitation are a result of Anodite instinct, as revealed by their grandmother, Vera.)
  • Kevin still appears, albeit as a neutral character trying to figure out his place. Ben and the others do help him in some instances and fight him in others. Devin Levin actually exists here (and was a student of Max's) with Osmosians being a sub-species of humans (though only known as such by the Plumbers and a few others, including Azmuth), who can take on properties of what they abosrb, be it substances or energy, to make them stronger (speculated to be an active and volatile variation of humanity's knack of adapting to their environment and genetic flexability). Kevin is still a half-Osmosian and half-human hybrid and thus while able to absorb matter and use its properties (much like in OTL), he lacked the complex neurobiology that full Osmosians had to handle absorbing energy and utilizing it properly. Whenever he absorbed energy or even energy and matter at the same time (like with the Omnitrix), he would cause mental imbalances to occur, explaining his mecurcial behavior and mental unstability (though when weened off of energy, he recovers from the damage, though still has not gotten therapy.) Osmosians are also revealed to be mild extremophiles, preferring harsher and more extreme weather conditions over milder ones (Devin being an exception due to his time with the Plumbers) hence why they remain unknown to the public and keep to themselves for the most part, though many are integrated into modern nations. Hybrids like Kevin are comfortable in both mild and extreme weather, explaining his ability to withstand being on most worlds.
  • Gwen also slowly begins getting up to speed with her magic skills, trying to figure the best way to use her hertiage and her abilities while Cooper provides valuable assistance through his technomancy and knowledge of the sciences along with being more polite and formal when compared to Ben. The Plumbers remain an organization for protecting Earth from the malicious supernatural, paranormal and extraterristial forces with Ben, Gwen and Cooper being deputized by them.
  • However, an intergalactic police force (similar to OTL Plumbers) still exists, but this time as a result of a massive expansion of the Galactic Enforcers. Revealed to have occurred sometime after Ultimos' defeat by Vilgax (and the latter's defeat by Ben); Ultimos explains this was done to beings across the galaxy could band together overcome massive threats while promoting peace, tranquility and justice. Ultimos references the Highbreed Invasion as the catalcylsm for the creation of such a force. (It's also revealed that Ultimos is an anomaly among his race, hence why he was their protector and why they don't display some of his powers.) Ben becomes an honorary member of the Galactic Enforcers and one of their contacts to the Earth Plumbers.
  • Meanwhile, the Plumbers' Kids still exist as the children between human Plumbers and their alien spouses, though it's revealed they were "grown" in a lab by a mysterious ally of the Plumbers (later revealed to be a Galvan/Human hybrid, who was responsible for the Area 51 incident.) Charmcaster's redesign is not as drastic (since she only goes from 15 to 18 and is still recognizable). Other aliens and allies of Ben and his friends join the Galactic Enforcers, such as Tetrax, Gluto, Xylene and Myaxx. It's implied each season is about roughly a year or so. No romantic relations are formed though Ben does grow close with Julie and to a lesser extent, Gwen with Cooper.
  • Some of the episodes are either not included or better written and all the aliens appeared remain the same. The design of the show is that of the original Ben 10, but with most of the slicker and cleaner colors of OTL Ben 10 Alien Force.
  • Justice League is a bit more light-hearted, with Wonder Woman more like her comic counterpart ITTL among more character changes and diverges. Supergirl remains in the present and would reveal she has started a relationship with Jimmy Olsen.
  • Total Drama Island is a fair bit more well-written with some of the characters recieving more development. The ending still has Owen winning, but gives half of his prize sharings to Gwen because she offered to in the previous round.
  • Total Drama Action has a similar premise on film-based challenges, but the show is much better written. In addition, most of the characters seen were those who were eliminated early on in TDI, and so were brought back to be the focus in to flesh out their personalites, while the other cast members offered vocal support in the Peanut Gallery or had the chance to assist the friends of their choice (Ex. Gwen and Trent winning a 2v2 contest and giving an advantage to Cody).
  • Plastic Man is made into a very successful and hilarious tv show after the pilot became very popular online and garnered plenty of support.
Nickolodeon
  • As Told By Ginger is a more popular and more respected show in the mainstream.
  • The Fairly Oddparents ends with a somewhat different version of the Wishology trilogy over in 2009 (namely in including more characters, such as Remy, Dwight, Molly, the Anti-Fairies, the Pixies and so many others.) Overall, the quality of the episodes are a fair bit better over time. Poof is still introduced and provides the cast with plenty of opportunities to mature and develop. Other changes are made such as addressing Trixie's tomboyish side and overall a better sense of continuity. The Wishology trilogy ends with Timmy coming to terms over eventually losing his fairies, but his heroics grant him a super-wish. Said super-wish is to remember everything of magic, even as he grows up and as the epilogue shows, he maintains contact with Cosmo, Wanda and Poof while still dealing with mundane and magical mishaps. Hartman has gone on record on if Timmy's kids were either Trixie's or Tootie's, he mentions it could be either or. A post-credit epilogue shows that Timmy also knows who are Cosmo and Wanda's new godkids (watching over them) while also humorously showing he still has his heat vision.
  • Invader Zim is allowed to continue its second season, but still ends up cancelled due to various factors, the main one being the plot and very early test footage of the would-be series finale leaked on the internet. This was the straw that broke the camel's back that led to massive fights between Vasquez and the creative director. The entirity of the debacle had Nick cancel the show due to the stress it put on everyone involved, though Vasquez would mention he was not angry or sad at Nick by this (later revealing he was a bit relieved since even he was burnt out by the incident.) Despite this, the show still remains popular and examines more on Irken culture and so on. Vasquez would note that he had alot more ideas and perhaps taking an "impromptu break" would be better for him. He would ultimately start making new episodes via a "Season 3" in 2017 and the show has been going strong. It's not unknown if Vasquez has any plans for the finale, but has noted that though the premise would be the same (as well as the title, Invader Dib), the plot would go much different.
  • My Life as a Teenage Robot continues and examines Jenny's life as she tries to be more human-like. She does eventually end up with Sheldon after everything they go through together. The XJ-10 bit seen in the show would later be capitalized as Jenny's upgrade, symbolizing her growth from a teenager into an adult. It's also implied to be the result of nanotech, allowing her for greater capabilities and better human experiences. The show ends with Jenny tacking adulthood with her friends, family and boyfriend by her side.
  • The Modifyers would be green-lit a few years after the end of My Life as a Teenage Robot and does fairly well as a cult classic show for a few seasons. It introduces more characters in a strange retrofuture based on Mod fashions as well as Agent Xero's misadventures in stopping Baron Vain and other threats to the Queen of a fictional Britain-like state. Several classic episodes include when Xero got amnesia and fully assumed her Lacey Shadows identity, Lacey Shadows seperating and becoming her own person as a result of an experiment and complications as a result of a new supporting character and love interest for Agent Xero while being unaware of her dual identities.
  • Constant Payne would be picked up due a somewhat different pilot, paving the way for more action-oriented shows with female protagonists while bringing back interest in the genre of diesalpunk. Despite setbacks due to unionizing issues, the political backgrond and greater support for unionizing would eventually have the show be picked up and run for several seasons, becoming a massive classic of the show and becoming the most popular show on the network since Spongebob.
  • Danny Phantom would go on for a few more seasons, ending with Danny's graduation from high school. Larger events include Danielle being adopted by the Fentons along with exploring Danny's life after the reveal of his identity to the world and dealing with the subsequent consequences and maturity.
  • The X's continue for a few more seasons and becomes a cult classic.
  • El Tigre also continues for a few more seasons and shows off many more heroes and villains while exploring the Rivera family tree along with more fights. This includes Django becoming a reoccurring but friendly enemy to Manny before eventually ended up with Black Cuervo, the reveal of the Son of Sartana and a few flashback episodes examining history of the Rivera family tree.
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender goes on for a bit longer through mini-series (akin to OVAs) focused on certain plots such as the discovery of where Zuko's mother is along with the Gaang dealing with a changing world of new rules and systems. It also does a better job of portraying the growth and development of relationships and bonds between the groups.
  • The Mighty B would continue for a few more seasons and prove more successful along with being another cult classic on the network. It would include a TV movie involving Bessie trying to find more information on an urban legend of a Bee who got all the badges before her, including the lost one, which prompts Bessie in looking for her.
  • Fanboy & Chum Chum would be a fair bit better written, with it becoming just a cult classic.
  • Catscratch, Tak and the Power of Juju and Planet Sheen would not be made into shows.
Disney
  • Kim Possible: The show goes on for a 5th season and some of the episodes, especially of the 4th season is better written to take into account the character development set up by the previous characters (a complaint that arose when many pointed out how Kim and other characters acted in So The Drama, saying their behavior was more akin to earlier seasons). The 5th season takes place mostly in the summer along with the beginning of fall as Kim, Ron and their friends prepare to tackle adulthood though the overarching plot is showing the after-effect of the Lowardian Invasion. The 5th season is also very famous for containing a large crossover of the Disney Animated shared universe, including Lilo & Stitch (the show connecting the rest of the shows together), Recess, American Dragon Jake Long and Proud Family, with everyone mentioning the effects of the invasion and how it changes everything. Other events include the past of Shego (it's revealed she was the middle child, which Ron cannot help but comment that it explains alot) and a few other villains. The series finale would have Kim and her whole group of family and friends (including seldon seem ones such as Cousin Larry) helping her in stopping the plot of a coalition of villains, old and new in taking over the world by exploiting the chaos of the post-Lowardian invaded world. It's also revealed that Drakken and Shego's relationship is ultimately platonic, due to the age difference being too large for the execs to be comfortable with)
  • American Dragon Jake Long goes on for a few more seasons, detailing the return of Rose back home and reuniting with Jake while looking for her twin sister, who may have been kidnapped by a different group, later revealed to be an organization devoted to trying to break the secrets of the magical world. The show also took a hiatus before returning to transition Jake being in the middle of high school and the show with him graduating. A special also shows what the Lowardian Invasion was like, which included Jake meeting up with Lilo and Stitch once more and the magical world uniting to stop the alien invasion in their parts of the world.
  • The Proud Family is much better written with alot less cruel comedy and thus, becomes a more popular, likeable and successful show. A special is made a few years after the show's end, showcasing Penny's graduation and dealing with the Lowardian invasion. This includes a crossover with Recess when Gretchen meets up with Sticky (both of whom are pals through a social network for intelligent kids) and fight back against the forces with plenty of callbacks.
Other Shows
  • Family Guy ends after the original three seasons.
  • American Dad is a bit more grounded in reality and is better written than OTL.
