At least we won't get Sam's Happy Time ITTL.
Transformers
Released by TriStar Pictures on July 3, 2007
Produced in association with Hasbro and Amblin Entertainment
Directed by
Kevin Smith
Executive Producers
Steven Spielberg
Michael E. Uslan
Screenplay by
Roberto Orci
Alex Kurtzman
Music by
Michael Giacchino
Main Cast
Haley Joel Osment as Sam Witwicky
Emma Stone as Mikaela Banes
All other human characters are played by the same actors as OTL. Plus, all Transformer voices are the same as OTL.
Notes
- Even though Mr. Osment and Ms. Stone get top billing in the film's marketing ITTL, the human subplot is de-emphasized in favor of concentrating on the Autobots' conflict with the Decepticons.
- In the 2007 NFL Draft, former Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, nicknamed Megatron, was selected #1 overall by the St. Louis Sorcerers.
As Dreamers Do Part Deux
- Thread starter OldNavy1988
- Start date
Yeah because I remember the OTL movie getting a TON of negative feedback when it first came out.
Jason Lee was unable to fit Transformers into his schedule. He's working with Paramount on the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie in which he is playing Dave Seville.

During the 2007 World Bowl, Fox introduced Kevin Harlan as the new voice of Sunday Night Football beginning with the Hall of Fame Game next month between the Chiefs and Sorcerers. A flexibility clause in Harlan's contract allows him to continue working on NBA games for TNT on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Well! I guess my vote did make a difference! And maybe the younger me may be attracted more to American football if it's still showing on Fox Philippines. Chances are Harlan's voice is on NBA Philippines broadcasts.
Champs again! I can't believe it! (Wonder how fans in Vegas are feeling now that their former team has won back to back titles).
Nice! Now he can call both NBA and NFL games at the same time...oh wait.
Oh okay. I really need a timeline list of children programming channels channels to figure everything out.
There's actually a chance he might be able to do both should Fox Sports outbid ABC for their portion of the NBA TV deal that takes effect in 2008-09.
Don't forget Fox is getting the IHL in 2008-09 as well.

By WLAF standards, the Wranglers are now considered a dynasty, but that might change if NFL teams are willing to compensate the Wranglers for the three years Kingsbury has left of his contract. As of July 2007, Al Davis still owes the Amsterdam Admirals money for picking up Tom Brady after his World Bowl three-peat. Twice the amount the LA Rams paid the Oklahoma Outlaws for Kurt Warner after '98.

NOTE: TTL's incarnation of The Hub came to existence December 31, 1992 when Bally acquired the former Sky Channel America from Rupert Murdoch and Harvey Weinstein. Below is The Hub's current logo, introduced on The Hub's Friday night WLAF games earlier this spring.

One more thing, Peacock is planning to sell Animax because of potential conflicts of interest with the new Bullet Train block on USACX.
Don't you think Disney owns enough for a fourth or fifth entertainment channel?
And to see that basically each major company has a kids or general entertainment network to their assets list is good to see.
However, if Boomerang is airing the MGM/Orion cartoon library and such, what else are it and Cartoon Network airing ITTL? Because it looks to me like they need some third-party support.
Nice that this logo is kept.NOTE: TTL's incarnation of The Hub came to existence December 31, 1992 when Bally acquired the former Sky Channel America from Rupert Murdoch and Harvey Weinstein. Below is The Hub's current logo, introduced on The Hub's Friday night WLAF games earlier this spring.
Depending on what Animax airs, perhaps TimeWarner should acquire it. I mean, USA Cartoon Express probably outranks Animax in the cable market, and Warner Freeform seemingly has a different target demographic entirely.
But AEG TV will going to be renamed into Start TV starting in fall 2007, as a direct competitor to Warner Freeform, after Bain Capital took over the network from Phil Anschutz, who had bad luck after a scandal, following an agreement with writer/producer Joss Whedon.
And with the San Diego Comic Con looming in late July 2007, we'll have the news that Marc Webb is going to direct an Archie movie for Universal Pictures and the announcement Joss Whedon is returning to do a show on Start TV (formerly AEG TV) starring Eliza Dushku. Popeye the Sailor will be released in 2008. Start TV's other show iCarly is underway.

They could. But then again they might try to reformat an existing network into FXX. A the moment, Disney is in the process of digitally remastering Urusei Yatsura for a return to HBO in February 2008 for the 25th anniversary of that show's American debut. As of July 2008, the "syndication" edits of UY air on Animax. The "syndication" edits, which have also aired on the SciFi Channel, TNT and FX at different points usually edit out scenes that would otherwise have Lum topless. I heard there's a reboot that just came out IOTL, but I'm not sure if anybody likes it so far.
Right, but now the pool for family/childrens IP's might be too thin for cable operators to hook up another animation channel.
Boomerang right now does have the old Filmation (George and Jimmy, Nancy Drew '75, Fat Albert, Ghost Patrol), DePatie-Freleng (Ant and the Aardvark, Pink Panther) and MGM libraries (Tex Avery, Tom and Jerry, Droopy, etc.) airing around the clock. But yes, they could use a third party partner. That could be tough because of how thin cartoons are stretched across the major conglomerates at the moment.
Saban might be interested in selling its stake of Odyssey if that's necessary to facilitate a bid for Animax.
Yeah, that tracks.
Sweet!
So, what you're telling me is that Urusei Yatsura was mainstream enough to air on TNT. That's ballsy of them.
It depends on who you ask, but it does have a following.
Personally speaking, both it and Spy x Family could work wonders as Fox's most recent anime dubs ITTL.
We could always look to Canadian imports, which was the style of the time.
How about we have them partner with Cinar/Cookie Jar? Hopefully, that could help with the situation.
I can see that. I mean, Saban is part of Golden Harvest, which also owns DiC. Between the three of them, there's enough Japanese-adjacent programs and American action cartoons to practically revamp Animax in all but name.
But that means Microsoft and Mattel would each own 50% of Odyssey. Perhaps more Paramount movies and shows could air on the network this way, but I doubt it.
