More than Meets the Eye: An OPEN COLLAB DISCUSSION TL By Otakuninja2006

Well........

That'll be a bit difficult, and The Disney Afternoon is a part of Fox Kids, hence why it's not listed.
In that case, I have an idea for Fox Kids's first weekday lineup:

7:00: Fun House (Season 3)
7:30: Adventures of the Gummi Bears
The Disney Afternoon:
3:00: DuckTales
3:30: Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers
4:00: TaleSpin
4:30: Peter Pan and the Pirates

Yeah, this would decrease the popularity of the Gummi Bears series, but Fox Kids enthusiasts get to see Fun House on a weekday format, while Disney enthusiasts get two new cartoons on in the afternoon.
 
So, after much consideration and getting inspired, I have decided to change the companies once again:

As of 1990
  • Warner-Paramount Communications
  • The Walt Disney Company
  • Columbia-Turner
  • Time Grand Inc.
  • Capital Cities-ABC Corporation
  • MCA/Universal Group

How do you guys think?
1: How would Pee-Wee's Playhouse be on both CBS and ABC at the same time? Couldn't The Real Ghostbusters continue at 11 A.M. on the latter channel?
2: How would Kevin Keene: The Game Master be on for a full hour if it's a new show?
3: Just what is Justine Pop?
4: I won't lie, having Ganbare Kickers, Touch, and Dragon Quest air on Fox Kids at launch should tell you how open they are to Japanese imports this early on. Somehow, it makes the reliance on Power Rangers and Digimon in our timeline look rather quaint. To be fair, I actually like it.
 
1: How would Pee-Wee's Playhouse be on both CBS and ABC at the same time? Couldn't The Real Ghostbusters continue at 11 A.M. on the latter channel?
I have actually forgot about The Real Ghostbusters, but it'll stay on ABC, but all reruns from this point forward is exclusively on Cartoon Network(already launched the year before this TL starts ITTL).
2: How would Kevin Keene: The Game Master be on for a full hour if it's a new show?
I basically took your show idea from your earlier Alterthink articles and made it into their version of the Nintendo Power Hour.
3: Just what is Justine Pop?
One of my anime-esque ideas. It's basically a shoujo like show, but it's not a actual anime, but TMS Entertainment is involved with the animation process.

Yeah, and those are just there to fill up slots in the first year or 2 of Fox Kids' life....

And Power Rangers would be on SBT and Digimon would likely be part of a exclusive entertainment adaptation production/distribution deal with Warner-Paramount, so that'll probably air on Nickelodeon's Sunburst block(yeah, I found a purpose for the name)!

Oh, okay.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

I can actually see that show having a decent following if social media is a thing ITTL.
Yeah, and those are just there to fill up slots in the first year or 2 of Fox Kids' life....
I mean, for what it's worth, those shows are good ideas for the block.
And Power Rangers would be on SBT and Digimon would likely be part of a exclusive entertainment adaptation production/distribution deal with Warner-Paramount, so that'll probably air on Nickelodeon's Sunburst block(yeah, I found a purpose for the name)!
Power Rangers on SBT works really well, but I'm interested to see how Digimon, and more specifically, the exclusive deal in general on Sunburst, would go.
 
Oh, okay.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

I can actually see that show having a decent following if social media is a thing ITTL.
Yep. And it's definitely a thing ITTL, just not until when it hit big IOTL(i.e. the 2000s and beyond)....

But it'll become a hit.
I mean, for what it's worth, those shows are good ideas for the block.
Yeah, and I wanted to get a earlier start in the rise of otaku culture in America ITTL.

Just wait until the mid-90s....
Power Rangers on SBT works really well,
Yes it does, especially since that's where Pagoda is going to be airing on in addition to it's own channel.
but I'm interested to see how Digimon, and more specifically, the exclusive deal in general on Sunburst, would go.
Cool...

And we will use your Looney Tales idea as well.
 
Yep. And it's definitely a thing ITTL, just not until when it hit big IOTL(i.e. the 2000s and beyond)....

But it'll become a hit.
I'm glad you also think so.
Yeah, and I wanted to get a earlier start in the rise of otaku culture in America ITTL.

Just wait until the mid-90s....
To be fair here, Touch, Kickers, and Dragon Quest are great ways to kick it off earlier.
Yes it does, especially since that's where Pagoda is going to be airing on in addition to it's own channel.
Works for me.
Cool...

And we will use your Looney Tales idea as well.
That'll be great!
 
Tonight at 9:

Paramount and Anime.

What anime did Paramount dub(at least prior to their 1990 merger with Warner Bros. Pictures)?

How did they do?

What holds the (near)future for anime with the mountain?

Find out Tonight at 9!

This is going to be good. After all, Warner Bros. has the Seven Arts catalog, DC Comics, and half of Lorimar-Telepictures as of 1990, so to see what Paramount has for the action entertainment scene would be amazing.
 
Yep.

And what's Seven Arts?
That's Seven Arts.

And while we're waiting until 9, I came up with a potential first year for the Warner Paramount Network, from January to September 1995.

I used various parts of what Warner Bros. and Paramount were producing for TV at the time, especially by combining UPN and The WB into one network, and even dismantling PTEN early and using its parts to boost the WPN lineup.

I'd figure that Entertainment Tonight, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective: The Animated Series, and Rugrats could be the new-to-this-timeline highlights on WPN for the coming Fall 1995 season.
