And, for the more "out there" selections, here's what they are and why they were made in the way they were.
-
The Land of Ronald McDonald was made as the result of a peace between McDonalds and the Krofft brothers, where the people who brought you
H.R. Pufinstuf would make a new Saturday morning program to promote the McDonalds menu. In essence, it's TTL's version of the iconic commercials that used to play between the shows.
-
Maya the Bee is the newest Fox anime dub of the lot. This is due to both the timing of the anime's production history, as well as the fact that it fits right at home with the Disney cartoon characters more often than not.
-
Honeybee Hutch would be placed directly after
Maya's timeslot as a counterintuitive plan to get kids to watch NBC. It was made by Warner Bros. Animation because Disney can't be the only man in the anime dubbing business at this point.
-Likewise,
The Moomins and
Thomas and Tamagon were made to be Hanna-Barbera's and Famous Studios's anime dubbing debuts, respectively. To be exact,
Moomins was made by HB so they can learn how to do wholesome projects with simple designs, while
Thomas and Tamagon is essentially an earlier version of
Tic Tac Toons from OTL's Saban Entertainment, but with the studio behind Woody Woodpecker instead of the folks behind Power Rangers.
-Somehow,
Saturday Morning Retriever got a second season. Then again, disco did hit its peak in 1979.
-On the other side of the popular music spectrum, Pink Floyd got an animated series. Why by Rankin-Bass? Because
ThunderCats can't be their only non-holiday special hit, whether ITTL or IOTL.
-On ABC, both
Bert and Ernie and
The Secrets of Akko-Chan would continue for another season from their respective studios. This would prove to be a very good thing for ABC, as those two shows have proven to be great hits for the lineup.
How did I do,
@OldNavy1988?
