    Thursday night, the New Orleans Saints hoisted their championship banner before a sold out crowd at the Superdome. The Saints easily won their Opening Night game against the Los Angeles Rams, but the game will be remembered for this moment...

    Kevin Harlan (Fox Sports commentator): "Brees' throw is incomplete, but there's a flag in the backfield..."

    Ed Hochuli (NFL Referee): "Personal foul, roughing the passer, Defense, Number ninety-two. Fifteen yards, automatic first down."

    Harlan: "Michael Strahan the guilty party..."

    Cris Carter (Fox Sports commentator): "I disagree with that call. Strahan merely bumped into Brees while his eyes were focused on the ball..."

    Harlan: "Look out!!! Here comes Belichick! And he's about to give Ed Hochuli an earful!"

    ***Saints fans boo Belichick as he walks up to Hochuli.***

    Carter: "Kevin! Hold up! Listen!"

    ***Luciano Michelini's "Frolic" plays over the Superdome loudspeakers while Belichick yells at Hochuli.***

    Harlan: "Yes, indeed. That's the unmistakable theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm being played here at the Superdome!"

    ***Both announcers crack up****

  • This Just In...
    Days after Butch Hartman pled guilty to the wanton vandalism of Tara Strong's car during a 2004 argument outside of Turner's Techwood Drive offices, an Atlanta judge granted Cartoon Network full custody of both Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom, the series Hartman created for the network earlier this decade. Cartoon Network's attorneys cited a secret clause in their contract which allowed them to continue both series without Hartman's involvement. Cartoon Network said in a statement that both series will take a hiatus for at least 18 months. Hartman will serve his sentence in the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections starting next month.

    Lyrics: Del St. Pierre
    Vocals: Gus St. Pierre, Del St. Pierre and Reese Witherspoon

    @Roger Redux @Mitch! I haven't figured out how the song should go, but I have a feeling the words would be straightforward in encouraging kids to have paper and drawing materials ready as they follow along with Blanche.

    Funding Credits (Lead-In)
    Voiceover spoken by Gus: "Major funding for Cartooning Made Easy with Blanche Boudreaux has been provided by Walter Foster, the number one brand for instructional arts and crafts books since 1922. Additional funding is provided by The Stan Lee Foundation and Crayola. And by contributions to your PBS station from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Viewers Like You! Merci beaucoup!"

    Notes
    As the voice of Lawrence Fletcher, Phineas and Ferb is Richard O'Brien's first project for the Disney conglomerate since The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975. Rocky Horror is often debated as being the first 20th Century-Fox release under Disney's ownership. Because Rocky Horror was already in post-production when the Fox purchase was first announced in July of '75, some film historians suggest that Fox's first release through the Buena Vista distribution arm was technically The Omen, which was released a year later.​

    Aired on Cartoon Network on October 1, 2007 at 8:00 PM Eastern and Pacific

    Summary
    Basically, the 2-hour special takes the viewer on a journey through CN's history up to this point. CN's early years consisted of licensing select properties from Hanna-Barbera, the Fleischer-Terry and Famous Studios catalogs from Universal and even the Fox Movietoon catalog. Along with those, CN also gave time slots to the 1933-57 Popeye shorts (Fleischer-Terry 1933-52; Famous 1953-57), Pre-1948 Warner Bros. cartoons under the half-hour Bugs and Daffy format. Additionally, Turner's 1982 purchase of MGM gave CN access to the cartoons of Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Red, Spike and Tyke and McWolf. As time went by, the classics of yesteryear began to share programming space with newer, original material (Doug, Spongebob, FOP, Danny Phantom, Avatar, Zim, etc.).

    Notes
    Viewers noticed the absence of Fairy Odd Parents and Danny Phantom from this special. That was mostly due to the legal issues surrounding the creator of both series, which has been fully documented in recent months. After it was initially reported that both series would be canceled outright, CN confirmed that both would continue since the network owns the copyright. At first, there was talk of Steve Marmel taking over as the showrunner for both series as early as 2009, but that was soon debunked when Variety reported that Marmel was working on a live action pilot for Oaxis called Sonny with a Chance. Instead, Sam Register will take the mantle.​

    "We interrupt regular news coverage to bring you an announcement from our founder Ted Turner..."


    ted-turner_f-iucn-j-muntaner_h528.jpg

    Ted Turner
    (Founder and Chairman Emeritus; Turner Broadcasting System)

    "Ladies and gentlemen, for the last few months, my entertainment empire has been operating under the threat of a hostile takeover by Bain Capital, the parent company of the new Romney/Weinstein venture. Today, I am proud to announce that my board of directors has approved a plan to merge our assets with those owned by Microsoft under the Paramount banner in a $94 Billion USD half cash/half stock deal."

    "If approved by federal lawmakers, our live action motion picture and television production will move onto Paramount's backlot in Hollywood. In animation, the workforce of Ruby-Spears will be combined with that of Rankin-Bass."

    "As for the future of the sports assets under our wing; The Hammers, Hawks, Flames, WCW and the Goodwill Games...If the Justice Department demands we spin off those assets to allow the merger to go forward, we will only sell to those who promise to keep those entities right here in Atlanta."

    "Paramount has agreed to sell its stake in the Odyssey Network to facilitate the inclusion of Cartoon Network as part of this proposed merger."

    "As soon as the deal is closed, Geraldine Laybourne will serve as chair of the combined board. The combined film and television assets will be chaired by Rob Reiner with Barbara Broccoli reporting to him."

    "In addition, the comic book assets of Image Comics will eventually be absorbed by Paramount Comics."

    "Basketball fans can expect the NBA to stay with TNT for the next six years, but now with additional games to be televised by UPN starting with the 2008-09 season."

    "While the new TBS-Paramount umbrella is likely to be based in California, we will retain our Techwood Drive campus for our cable networks, including CNN."

    "Now, I shall answer your questions..."

    Reaction to Ted Turner's announcement
  • @Otakuninja2006
    The "U" in UPN was already changed from Universal to United after Peacock acquired Universal. In turn, Peacock sold Sony/MCA's stake in UPN to Turner a year or so before this merger was announced.

    Reaction to Ted Turner's announcement

    "Please let there be a Tom and Jerry/Top Gun crossover!!!"
    - YouTube vlogger Maverick86

    "The Flames came very close to moving once already in their history until Ted saved them in the late 70's. I will vote to block any buyer that tries to move the Flames out of Atlanta and I encourage my fellow owners to do the same."
    - Tiffany Disney (Chairwoman; Mighty Ducks of San Diego)

    "I have told Jim Balsillie that he will have to wait before he tries to make a bid for the Flames. There's a chance Congress could allow the Flames and other Turner sports properties to stay under the TBS-Paramount ownership."
    - Wayne Gretzky (Commissioner; National Hockey League)

    "If Billionaire Ted is forced to sell WCW to facilitate his merger with Paramount, who the fuck is gonna buy it other than Stephanie McMahon???"
    - Jim Cornette

    "If (Mighty Ducks owner) Tiffany Disney and (Kings part-owner) Michael Eisner both give me their support, I could happily buy the Flames and honor The Great One's wish to keep them in Atlanta."
    - Bob Iger in a CNBC interview

    "If the Flames, Hammers or Hawks do come up for sale, I'd be interested in buying one or more of those teams."
    - Arthur Blank (Chairman of the Board; Atlanta Falcons)

    Arthur Blank, Terry McGuirk, Jerry Bruckheimer, Bob Iger, Tim Leiweke, Hasso Plattner, Steve Pagliucca and Shad Khan among the names rumored to be in the running to buy one or more of Turner's sports assets should the DOJ force a spinoff before the TBS-Paramount merger is to be approved.

    CNN Breaking News: DOJ Approves TBS-Paramount merger; Turner sports assets to be spun off


    Today, the Department of Justice has approved Microsoft's efforts to merge its existing Paramount assets with those of Turner Broadcasting System to form a newly combined conglomerate which will be known as TBS Paramount.

    As a condition for the approval of this merger, Turner Broadcasting must divest all three professional sports franchises that were acquired by founder Ted Turner in decades past. Also to be divested from Turner are World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the Goodwill Games. On Paramount's end of this merger, they must divest its North American rights to intellectual properties controlled by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

    Another condition in the approval of this merger is for TBS Paramount to make the appropriate accomodations to allow King Features Syndicate and Peacock subsidiary Universal Studios to continue using the Popeye franchise as part of a long-term series of theatrical films planned years in advance by both King Features and Universal. Turner's rights to Popeye since the early 1990's extend to the use of the Popeye characters in theme park attractions, as well as the library of theatrical cartoons produced by Fleischer-Terry and later Famous Studios from 1933 until the late Fifties.
