And also for a new cable channel launching by Henson in 2002 called either the Animation Network or Nicktoons Network. Henson will also formed a another cable in 2002, using assets from the Pearson Television purchase, which basically is a mixture of IOTL Buzzr and Nick GAS channels using the Buzzr name, I.e. a game show channel using all of Pearson game show IPs (Price is Right, Family Feud, Let’s Make a Deal, Match Game, Sale of the Century and a bunch of other game shows) and Nickelodeon ‘s lineup of game shows including Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Figure it Out and a bunch of game shows.

Cool. But I'd name it The Animation Network so it could be all-ages without having to be tied to the Nickelodeon agesis.

I like the idea of butterfly Disney sky movie because they already own marvel comics so I don't like the idea of theam creating superheroes out side of the marvel universe. With sky high butterflied I like the idea of the failed movie Zoom being a succesu. Zoom was considered to be a rip off of Sky High . In thurth Zoom had divite a lot source material the first zoom;s acdamny novell to adovid being consider a sky high copycat. Here a link to a a synponis of the soursce materail. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/l/jason-lethcoe/amazing-adventures-from-zooms-academy.htm

I agree with your statement, the plan is for 2/3 of the schedule (from 6 in the morning to 10 at night) to contain family-friendly programs with a presentation style similar to the style TV Land was using around the same time both IOTL and TTL that will also be use for Buzzr, while the remaining 1/3 having adult animation as the focus and a presentation style containing more mature images.

Yep. That's exactly why I said name it The Animation Network, so they could show more mature animation without getting in too much trouble because of it being under the Nick branding.

Entertainment News for Early November 2001

Bobby Gets a Timeout in DC
Newly hired Indiana Pacers head coach Bobby Knight was assessed two technical fouls and ejected from the Washington Federals home opener at the MCI Center. Halfway through the third quarter, Knight was given a technical foul for throwing a hissy fit after Reggie Miller was penalized for a defensive foul. As Michael Jordan of the Federals was about to shoot a technical free throw, Knight picked up his chair and flung it in Jordan's direction. Mike avoided the chair and Knight was given another technical and told to leave by referee Dick Bavetta. Knight, pelted with food and drink by pissed off Federal fans, punched a fan in the face on his way to the visitors' tunnel. Commissioner David Stern will announce his discipline of Knight at a press conference later today in New York.

I guess this means that William Hanna is still dead when he perished in our timeline. Well, at least Jim Henson didn't die in 1990.

Yeah, Bill passed away in March 2001, same time as OTL.

They talked about it a couple years ago, but decided against it after the AOL TimeWarner merger.

All Vinny Mac had to do was pay for his performer's health care. If the WWA makes it to June '02, I'd be shocked.

So is it time for the smark part of the crowd to hijack wwe shows to bury every effort they use to get anyone over?
