Children's Television Workshop? THE CTW THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR SEASME STREET?
Yes, that CTW. And thank you.
Of these potential companies, I think Lorimar, Ruby-Spears, and D&D would be among the best possible acquisitions.
I understand. That was probably too ambitious to tackle six fantasy schedules in just over a month. Plus, having a pre-upfront schedule, a post-upfront schedule, and a crazy schedule on their 30th anniversary, is probably the best outcome.
That's great! That's why I chose those, and Viacom/MTV Networks(excluding MTV). They could have a network division, and with creative peopleworking at Jim Henson, this should be great, even all the more so once they merge with Saban and Fremantle-Hallmark!Yes, that CTW. And thank you.

Grabbing Lorimar would help them expand into primetime, since that studio was responsible for shows ranging from The Waltons to Full House.
Acquiring the post-1991 Ruby-Spears content and studio could let them enter a new age under Henson.Lorimar Television - Wikipedia

And getting the rights to Dungeons and Dragons would open up a new avenue of profit for Jim Henson, practically quadruple the company's awareness in nerd fandom, and become a major tentpole of the entire Henson name in about 1-2 years.List of Ruby-Spears productions - Wikipedia

Yeah.....
I'd rather have Henson buy just MTV Networks, while Viacom merges with Saban and Fremantle-Hallmark. We can still get the benefits that you suggested at Jim Henson, but without much of the infamous declining at Nickelodeon and TV Land.
Yeah. Not to mention how the 2020s is beyond your scope of television awareness, since you prefer the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
Truthfully, it took some thinking while I was writing my answer before I really got the reason.
Fantastic! I didn't expect it to potentially be THAT soon!
Why? Viacom wouldn't have much notable without MTV Networks......
Why is that? They're all small....
I guess that could also work.But if you still want them to enter a partnership at least, maybe we can have the Creature Shop make monster designs for Saban's original takes on Power Rangers.

No, no, no, I am perfectly aware of 2020's television, I just don't like it and thinks most of it sucks now compared to even 2015.....
Yeah.....
Yes, but Saban could expand beyond Fox Kids and SBC by having Viacom distribute their shows to non-exclusive weekday syndication. That would be notable.
To be honest, this is a better idea..
CTW, MTV Networks, and Saban are all small? But they've made such big impacts on children's television that I thought they were all big companies.
I see. This sounds nicer than I assumed.
I like this, but I'd prefer if the Henson-Saban/Fremantle-Hallmark merger happened in 2005.
YES!
Of course!
Well, at the current trajectory of Henson and Saban, this could still happen, but with little to no legal drama from an internal partnership like this.
Understandable.
Okay.
Yeah.
By themselves, they look small....
Yeah, but at the exact same time, I'd prefer Saban got brought out or merged in 1996 because I have plans, especially for Jetix and their combined animation library.
Yeah to it all.
Yep.
You misread this. I meant that I'd rather have Henson merge with Saban in 1996, and then that combined company merge with Fremantle-Hallmark in 2005.
A great start to this new direction!
Well........
