I wonder if Bundy will try to make break and flee to Meixco Brazil of Argetnia.

No. He's in federal custody.

Any questions, comments, etc. before I get to TMNT III?

I wonder if there will be another new studio in the late 1990s after Golden Harvest of America. In OTL, Golden Harvest entered into a bit of a slump in 1998, in part due to the transfer of Hong Kong from Britain to China. ITTL, this could be an opportunity for another studio to emerge. Would it be possible for this studio to use the names Trimark Pictures, Spyglass Entertainment, Revolution Studios, Relativity Media, Rise Media, Revolt Media, Titan Studios, Entertainment Studios, Goldstone Pictures, American Pictures, United Pictures, Green Hills Films, National Pictures, Great Pictures, Glass Half Full Studios, Eye of the Storm Pictures, Goldcrest Pictures, or National Entertainment Studios.

It likely be one of the following:
- Village Roadshow (US Branch of the Australian studio)
- Lionsgate
- DreamWorks
- Legendary
- Dark Castle

Like what @TheMatthew25 said, is Puyo Puyo going to be release normally without alterations (aka not becoming Mean Bean Machine)? And if I can make a suggestion, can we have Panel de Pon (Puzzle League/Tetris Attack/ Pokémon Puzzle League-Challenge (GBC)) be release to the US and become popular ITTL?

In a blatant miscarriage of justice, St. Bernard Parish Family Judge Henri Thibodeaux dismissed Gus St. Pierre's emancipation case. St. Pierre's mother Bridgette was arrested last summer for disorderly conduct and trespassing after being dragged out of the Jim Henson Studios where Gus was filming scenes for Nickelodeon's Clarissa Explains it All. The 15 year old Gus tried to warn Judge Thibodeaux multiple times about Bridgette's meth habit and her plans to marry John Kricfalusi. But the judge inexplicably laughed everything off, thinking Gus was playing his Ferguson Darling character for the gallery's amusement.

@PNWKing
Alphy's still went out of business.

Judge: No one can be that crazy.
Us: Yes she is that crazy.

1. Is Electronic Arts a thing ITTL?
2. Who are some of the sponsors of the Milwaukee Bucks?
3. Who are some of the sponsors of the Denver Broncos?
4. Who are some of the sponsors of the Indianapolis Colts?
5. Where is Ren & Stimpy produced? I'd assume that BobLab rents space from Jim Henson in exchange for airing the show.
6. What was the highest grossing movie of 1992?
7. What "adult" jokes have been slipped in Disney movies ITTL?
8. Is PrimeStar still a thing ITTL?

Just thought you guys would get a kick out of this. After all, the 1987 show takes cues from the 2017 incarnation ITTL, CBS and SBC have a shared likeness to OTL's Fox Kids, and that aforementioned block has been funded by Disney where it was propelled into stardom by WB and Saban.

What? Really dude? Not a good choice..

Who is playing Casey Jones in the last two TMNT MOVIES? (unless he wasn't included)

1) Yes, EA is still a thing. Hopefully I can keep them from having the exclusive NFL license.
2) Miller, Harley-Davidson, Bergstrom Used Cars, Kohl's, Briggs & Stratton, Northwestern Mutual, Marlboro, Piggly Wiggly, Coca-Cola
3) Namco, Coors, Coca-Cola, Marlboro, United Airlines, Toyota, Wells Fargo

5) BobLab operates from the former Hanna-Barbera building on Cahuenga Blvd.
6) Spider-Man.
7) One that did slip past Walt, Sr. was Flower turning red in Bambi. In Aladdin, Jim Carrey did plenty of impressions that only the adult would've understood like Robin did IOTL.
8) Yes.
9) Yes.
10 Yes.

@PNWKing

- Most of the sports teams you've listed share the same sponsors leaguewide.
- Junior drives a 1988 Cadillac Fleetwood.
- Pizza Hut did a cross promotion for the VHS releases of The Land Before Time and the first TMNT movie.
- Red Wings: K-Mart, Little Caesars, Ford, TimeWarner Cable
- Springsteen was on tour in Europe.
- Tiffany doesn't pay too much attention to brands.

Beavis and Butt-Head

Launched on March 9, 1993 on MTV.

Created by
Mike Judge

Produced by
J.J. Sedelmaier Productions (Season 1 Only) [1]
United Artists Animation (the adult brand of Ruby-Spears; Season 2 onwards) [2]

[1] The OTL episodes that aired between March and July of '93 are what you'd call an early digital ink and paint experiment. The OTL episode No Laughing serves as an example.
[2] The cel-painted animation look used in OTL episodes that aired from September '93 till November of '97.

Main Voices
Mike Judge as Beavis, Butt-Head, Mr. Van Driessen, Mr. McVicker, Tom Anderson, Mr. Stevenson, Coach Buzzcut, the Burger World Manager and Todd Ianuzzi
Tracy Grandstaff as Daria Morgendorffer and Mrs. Stevenson
Adam Welsh as Stewart

Beavis and Butt-Head was MTV's third animated series after Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters and Aeon Flux, but would go on to outshine both in ratings and merchandise sales.​

Robert Mueller produced overwhelming evidence that Bundy received and accepted help from the Soviet Union to swing the '88 election in his favor. Apart from Bundy's multiple murders in the Pacific Northwest, Mueller found that Gotti had hired hitmen to protect Big Tobacco from physicians who presented links between tobacco consumption and cancer.

How much help did Bundy get from them, how high up in the Kremlin did it come from, and will he die the death of a traitor?

Hold up. "United Artists Animation, the adult brand of Ruby-Spears"?

I have some questions about this.

1: When was this division formed?
2: Why or how did Mike Judge choose this studio to make his magnum opus?
3: Are there any other projects from this branch of the company? Or is this their first piece of work?
4: Why was MTV considered when they have both TBS and TNT that could air the show just as easily?

UA Animation is really a name only brand. Basically it's the same Ruby Spears employees, but they use the UA banner to keep the show separate from the RS identity.
Mike Judge went to RS because he didn't like the look of the first season which came out looking extremely crude.
The second season and beyond is RS's first project under the UA banner.
B&B just didn't feel right on anywhere other than MTV.

UA Animation is really a name only brand. Basically it's the same Ruby Spears employees, but they use the UA banner to keep the show separate from the RS identity.

In that case, what's stopping them from releasing their Filmation content under the UA Animation brand, given all the lowpoints in that company's history before being folded into Ruby-Spears? If we're going to pull an OTL Touchstone, why not take advantage of it?

Mike Judge went to RS because he didn't like the look of the first season which came out looking extremely crude.

I suppose there are worse places to go for that. Like Spumco, for instance.

The second season and beyond is RS's first project under the UA banner.

Given how said project is Beavis and Butthead, will there be plans for a second project or so?

B&B just didn't feel right on anywhere other than MTV.

I can't agree more on this.
