Top Ten Franchises from each Studio or Conglomerate as of 2008 (In no particular order)
I should have seen this coming, but I'm glad to see it anyway.
Bally
- Garfield
- Rocky and Bullwinkle
- Gumby
- Mortal Kombat
- Pac-Man
- George of the Jungle
- Shezow
- The Sopranos
- Sex and the City
- Spy Hunter
Of these, I can see Garfield, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Mortal Kombat, Pac-Man, Shezow, and The Sopranos having the most longevity. The other four may be replaced in the future.
CBS Discovery
- DC Superheroes
- Nintendo (Movie and TV rights only)
- Hasbro (Movie and TV rights only)
- The Twilight Zone
- Strange Magic
- Mister Magoo
- Yu-Gi-Oh!
- CSI
- NCIS
- Jumanji
Honestly, the DC Universe can be its own separate list. Outside of those heroes, I think losing Nintendo and/or Hasbro would be a detriment to CBS Discovery.
Still, at least The Twilight Zone, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and NCIS help on the smaller scale.
Disney
- Fab Five
- Winnie the Pooh
- TMNT
- Star Wars
- Marvel
- Carmen Sandiego
- Urusei Yatsura
- National Treasure
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Roger Rabbit/Bonkers
Seeing Winnie the Pooh on the same level as TMNT, Star Wars, Marvel, and Urusei Yatsura simply makes me smile, even if I think his time may run out sooner or later.
Henson
- Muppets
- Scooby Doo
- Toy Story
- Incredibles
- Smurfs
- Flintstones
- Rugrats
- Total Drama
- Spy Kids
- Fraggle Rock
Could Fresh TV be bought by Henson in this timeline? Because if it's already this high up on the list, we should find a way to make its status permanent.
On the brighter side, we have the usual suspects here. Muppets, Scooby, Woody and Buzz, Flintstones, Smurfs, Rugrats, Fraggle Rock. They all represent the finest of this timeline's Henson Company.
Lionsgate
- The Twilight Saga
- Saw
- Voltron
- One Piece
- Denver the Last Dinosaur
- Madea
- Lupin III
- Medabots
- Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
- Shaman King
I never thought I'd say this, but Lionsgate needs more live action properties. Sure, Twilight, Saw, and Madea are big names, and Voltron, One Piece, and Lupin have propelled them to the top of the anime heap in recent years, but perhaps one or two more non-animated properties are in order.
Peacock
- Law and Order
- Star Trek
- Universal Monsters
- Mission: Impossible
- Woody Woodpecker
- Crash Bandicoot
- Big Nate
- King Kong
- Godzilla (North American rights only)
- Archie/Gemini superheroes
I'm just glad that Woody Woodpecker is still a relatively big name in the Peacock echelon. Besides him, I'd also want to keep Star Trek, Crash Bandicoot, and the Archie Comics on this list as long as possible.
Saban Metromedia
- Power Rangers
- Sailor Moon
- Nightmare on Elm Street
- The Lord of the Rings
- Pandora (Coming in 2009)
- Terminator
- RoboCop
- Bill and Ted
- The Matrix
- Andy Larkin
Ah, so Avatar is a New Line movie ITTL, under a non-compromising name this time. I love that.
In fact, I can see an animated series based on Pandora as early as 2011.
Besides that sneak preview, all the usual suspects are here: Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, Nightmare on Elm Street, LOTR, Terminator, all good franchises.
But could we at least see more DiC Entertainment-based properties in the future? At least give us more Inspector Gadget and Madeline stuff.
TBS-Paramount
- James Bond
- Pink Panther
- Doctor Who
- Top Gun
- Wallace and Gromit
- Legally Blonde
- Tom and Jerry
- Spongebob
- Beavis and Butt-Head
- Sonic
This is one of the bigger Top 10s in this chapter. James Bond, Pink Panther, Doctor Who, Wallace and Gromit, Tom and Jerry, Spongebob, Sonic. Those are my favorites out of this crop.
I'd hopefully consider Arthur to be the #11 biggest IP, but I'm just clouding my judgement.
TimeWarner
- Looney Tunes
- Dragon Ball
- Speed Racer
- The Berenstain Bears
- Gremlins
- Xenomorphs
- Predators
- Heathers
- Rambo
- Rainbow Brite
Of these, I can see Looney Tunes, Dragon Ball, Berenstain Bears, Gremlins, Xenomorphs, Rambo, and Rainbow Brite being the biggest hits. Especially the first three that I mentioned.
