    1: This could be another great parody from them.
    2: Now, that's what I'm talking about!
    3: Hallelujah!
    4: That's even better!
    5: Either one of them could result in some good changes.
    6: Whoop, whoop, whoop!

    Even if they do get the death penalty, given that California tends to use the death penalty less than other death penalty states, they'll still be on death row to this day (assuming it isn't reduced to LWOP on appeal), IMO...

    1: It makes so much sense to incorporate Clarissa reruns on ABC directly after Henson buys the channel.
    2: Here's hoping that ABC gives ReBoot a chance compared to OTL.
    3: Will Phantom 2040 be animated or in live-action?
    4: Since the Power Rangers and Sailor Moon are both dubbed by Golden Harvest divisions, will this lead to a crossover between the two franchises?
    5: Something tells me that some of Disney's offerings will move to Disney Channel to make room for some new productions next year.
    6: To that front, would Shnookums and Meat still exist? Just asking.

    1) True. But keep in mind, a percentage of the advertising revenue generated by the reruns will go towards the Colette St. Pierre Memorial Fund.
    3) Animated.
    4) Unfortunately, Naoko Takeuchi said no to a crossover when asked earlier in the year.
    5) Right.
    6) Shnookums and Meat comes out next year, but I'm not sure who should produce it.

    1: That's even better!
    2: Then, shouldn't it air at 9:30 instead of 10:30?
    3: Oh. Well, at least she knows about the idea. That's good enough.
    4: Clearly, given their newfound status as a basic cable channel.
    5: I'd go with Disney under the Grantray-Lawrence label. That way, it's only technically a Disney cartoon.

    Call me eccentric, but I can actually see a "Miami MerBlades" cartoon made by Disney as a counterpart to Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series if it still happens ITTL.
