As Dreamers Do Part Deux

[UNIVERSAL.EXE]

The third act, in which we learn the truth about Lois Einhorn, was overwhelmingly condemned by critics as "transphobic."

Ah. Understandable.

At this point, everyone has had at least one scandal in their history.

1970's: Leona Helmsley's disastrous ownership of MGM.
1975-77: Filmation's Nancy Drew series, infamous for unnecessary pantyshots.
1980: Cheesecake in The Snow Queen.

1985: Lou Scheimer's enemies list is uncovered.
1988-89: FART's assault on SatAm cartoons.
1990: The George Liquor diaster.
Early 1990's: Bridgette St. Pierre's premeditated crusade to embarrass Gus with her entitlement issues.
1994: Ace Ventura nearly puts Warner Bros. out of business.
Also 1994: The murder of Colette St. Pierre by Bridgette and her then-husband John Kricfalusi.
2001: The Rikishi diarrhea incident at the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania in Washington, DC.

[Otakuninja2006]

A Hartman-free Oaxis… just look at it

This would be MUCH worse than that.

I'd prefer Oaxis/Noog Network was the new name for Discovery Kids......

Awesome!
They're horrible, they enslaved the fetuses, they're airing a literal PEDO-BAIT CARTOON on their channel, their cult leader hates the Japanese and all their epic shows...
That channel is just a huge L

1: Exactly!
2: Right, how can anyone hate their awesome epic shows?
3: A HUGE L, such a huge L that a cable provider pulled the channel in some markets....

@OldNavy1988, to REALLY make them suffer, why not have Cox pull them nationally, and then the rest of the cable/satellite operators can start pulling them EN MASSE after all of this crap?

And as a replacement, have them replace it with Animax so that channel can become a MAJOR hit.

And is AEG TV a basic cable channel, or a digital cable channel?

I like CBS the best. They've got Transformers and Batman. And Pokemon. They're cool.

Exactly!

Breasts

Oh...........

I'm more of a Fox enthusiast myself, but those three are the best CBS has had in a while.

You're right about that.

Not to mention, King Philip still hasn't paid the outstanding fines issued by the FCC over some of the content of The Heartaches and Zoey 101. Multiple violations of the Children's Television Act. Plus the lack of a Standards and Practices department at AEG TV.

..............

1: WHAT FINES?
2: WHAT? THEY HAVE NO BS&P?
3: I thought you said you butterflied that law......THAT WAS THE E/I LAW FROM IOTL...

yeah fuck that channel

i feel that AEG TV would be the TV equivalent of the dark web.

Basically 4Chan, DeviantArt, Parler and InfoWars rolled into one.

1: Exactly, screw this channel
2:.........................................................I'm not even gonna say anything.......

@UNIVERSAL.EXE

And lest we forget, the Foundation of Americans for Responsible Television (FART) is still around, now a subsidiary of the Westboro Baptist Church.

excuse me what even does all that mean?
not even going to talk about that acronym

1: HOW ARE THEY STILL AROUND?
2: They were an old group of people that tried to censor and go against everything.........At one point, they didn't say crap about one of the St. Pierre kids running away from home, but was instead attacking Shezow and hip-hop/rap music.......
3: I HATE THE ACRONYM AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON.

I don't know which aspect is worse: AEG being the worst of modern Internet before it was a thing, or a church mandating what's good for television.

Same here.......

In 1988 ITTL, FART tried to bully CBS into canceling Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures. A year later, FART launched an anti-TMNT crusade which made SBC nervous. As a result of SBC caving under FART's pressure, the Turtles fell into Disney's hands.

At least Disney got another major franchise..........

And the Turtles almost became a Miramax franchise, which the less said about them, the better.........

Okay. I'll give them one point for accidentally giving the TMNT to Disney, as they were already trained by a rodent in the fighting sense.

Right........

Fuck, a church putting US TV under possibly nanny-state censorship, and AEG is STILL AROUND???
Nah this is some BULLSHIT

Except NOBODY listens to them, and instead listens to the FCC, and the BS&P is somewhat loosened ITTL so there's something!

And for a few years, SBC paid the price but were able to bounce back with the launch of the original Power Rangers.

Right, and they also had WB cartoons holding them up.

I would laugh so hard if, at some point in the near future of this timeline, a scandal comes up that will put them in the hot seat for once.

Me too!

At this point, everyone has had at least one scandal in their history.

1969-74: Rocky Lorenzo's attitude issues and overall douchebaggery towards The Nine Old Men at Disney over cheesecake.

2004-05: The Robert Crumb rape trials.
2006: The Big Poppa Poop Incident.
2007: Merritt Paulson, Kanye West, Butch Hartman and AEG TV.

That is a whole buncha scandals......

The creator of He-Man? Has an enemies list? what the fuck?

How did my guy Ace Ventura nearly put WB out of business??

And what the actual FUCK IS THIS???

This is madness!

1: Actually, Mattel created it, but Filmation just so happened to be the studio that made the cartoon.
2: Actually, that list had anybody on it that was more successful than him in the animation industry during the time period ITTL.
3: Well, there was a scene that was considered "poor taste"...
4: Exactly what it sounds like, a nasty incident....
5: I know this crap's madness.......

The third act, in which we learn the truth about Lois Einhorn, was overwhelmingly condemned by critics as "transphobic."

Ah. Understandable.

Yeah...pretty much.

Exactly........

All those are great and all, but how are this timelines 2007 NBA Finals and 2007 Stanley Cup Finals going? (We need a distraction from the Anschutz drama)

 

[OldNavy1988]

All those are great and all, but how are this timelines 2007 NBA Finals and 2007 Stanley Cup Finals going? (We need a distraction from the Anschutz drama)

The Suns swept the Cavs and LeBron is already contemplating taking his talents elsewhere.

The Stanley Cup Finals right now have been back and fourth and the Sharks have forced a Game 7, which will be played at HSBC Arena in Buffalo. Marleau and Thornton have been the leaders for San Jose while Briere, Drury and Vanek have done the same for the Sabres.

As another potential distraction, what are this timeline's top 10 most successful anime dubs?

 

[WB18]

The Suns swept the Cavs and LeBron is already contemplating taking his talents elsewhere.

Woot! Suns again baby! (It would be something if LeBron went to the Celtics this offseason instead of Garnett or Allen on a side note)

The Stanley Cup Finals right now have been back and fourth and the Sharks have forced a Game 7, which will be played at HSBC Arena in Buffalo. Marleau and Thornton have been the leaders for San Jose while Briere, Drury and Vanek have done the same for the Sabres.

Sensing a classic Shark choke job in game 7 here.

 

[DucNguyen0131]

Amazing work! But I am hoping that Animal Logic will do a CGI animated Tarzan film for Warner Bros. in 2008 (butterflying out the Disney and Constantin versions away).

1: Oh, what a glorious day!
2: Good!
3: Miramax was what my inner demons liked the most about AEG, so removing them from AEG would hopefully make it recover from doom.
4: At least it has enough kids and family TV shows to not require any outside marketing.
5: *facepalm*

 

[kaijudirector]

Ah. Understandable.

In one of the collaborative TLs I contributed on I changed it to Einhorn being Finkle's daughter while her dad died a drunk. (the TL has long since been shut down). The movie still gets flak for belittling alcoholicm, but at least it's not so transphobic. The rest of the movie is untouched.
