I can't stay mad at that mandate. Who hates those two shows in particular?
Okay, but does JK Rowling still become a terf?
Yes!
Not a bad idea. Would this mean Fairly OddParents ends early, in favor of Crash Nebula?
Daring choice to make King Arthur the villain.
Mixed opinions about that decision, but alright.
YES!
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Excellent alternative.
Didn't Disney publish the books through their Hyperion label? If that isn't the case ITTL, then I would consider that a missed opportunity.
Couldn't it just be a one-season wonder?
Okay, I can see this as a good alternative here.
YES!
Sweet!
Superb!
Props for holding yourself back.
I mean, the 1983 cartoon ran for over 100 episodes. Why should the 2002 reboot run for less than half that?
I thought so, and what a finale to go out on.
You're not wrong. Especially if we keep their interpretation of Merlin as an insult to The Sword in the Stone.
May I ask why you feel this way towards it?
Ouch.
Well, it's not like his first sci-fi franchise was any good in the 2000s. If you know what I mean.
I didn't know that.
Okay. Couldn't the Percy Jackson movies revitalize Touchstone Pictures instead? Not that Paramount is a bad idea for those movies or anything.
Oof.
Well, he did complain about the Snow White reboot, despite making for a perfect Grumpy. Just saying.
That might be a good thing.
Great point.
The first half was good imo, it just declined massively in quality towards the end.
It's okay. I don't care if your addresses are out of order.
I'd chalk that up to Warner Bros. being more idiotic than the fictional town of Springfield. Not to the failure of Superman Returns.
I see. Thank you.
That's okay. I also think too much in OTL terms.
Why would Disney Channel go off the air? Is there a reason why it would go off the air?
I can understand having a Dutch dub for a show or movie for obvious reasons, but I thought most Dutch people were happy enough with The Simpsons (and other shows with a teenage/adult audience for that matter) airing in its original English with Dutch subtitles.
There was not enough original programming to keep it afloat. This statement is made even worse with the fact that Phineas and Ferb is on Nickelodeon in this timeline and had already ended it's run by this point. Most of the original programming was preschool shows, which were not the main focus of Disney Channel, forcing it into closure.
The english version does still air in the netherlands, but only late at night, just like what Nickelodeon Netherlands does to it's shows. But all daytime airings of Simpsons in the netherlands are in dutch in this timeline. The dub also premiered in 1992.
Well, R.I.P. Disney Channel then. I guess with Phineas and Ferb airing on Nick back in the late 90s and early 2000s, Disney doesn't have any new animated shows. However, with all the butterflies, I'm surprised Disney didn't try to greenlight more animated shows besides the ones airing on Playhouse Disney.
Eh, I can live with that. I do wonder what a Dutch dub of The Simpsons would look like.
Nice to see Postman Pat come to America. I do wonder though, why didn't airing over here in the first place? If we could get Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder and Fireman Sam over here, why not Postman Pat?
Shining Time Station was before my time, so I don't really have an opinion on it. Though I did hear that most kids watched it simply for Thomas. I should note that if Shining Time Station never exists, that will probably butterfly away Thomas and the Magic Railroad unless the film has a very different plot.
I honestly would have the Arlesdale Railway engines (Rex, Mike and Bert) be introduced during the third season so that their four stories from the Railway Series book Small Railway Engines can be made to air alongside the Duck and Oliver stories of the third season. The small engines can still be in the fourth season of course, and they can appear in the episode Sleeping Beauty where they help in the search to find Duke like the did in the original Railway Series story.
I did hear about Phineas and Ferb being thought about for a little over a decade before its premiere on Disney Channel. I wonder what an earlier version of the show airing on Nickelodeon as a Nicktoon would've been like. Sound like a cool alternate history scenario I could get behind.
With that, Toy Story 2 is either butterflied away or has a very different plot altogether. Is Jessie at least still voiced by Joan Cusack?
Eh, whatever. I'm neutral about this given I didn't watch Toon Disney or Jetix that much during my childhood.
Wait, the Fairly Odd Parents had their broadcasting rights for its first four seasons sold to Nelvana and aired on other channel around the world instead of on each other countries version of Nickelodeon? Weird. I'm glad that the show will air on its normal channel worldwide.
It sucks that the original German version of Nickelodeon had to go off the air in 1998 due to low viewership. Glad it survives here.
Postman Pat briefly did air in America in the mid-2000's in real life, but it was a failure.
It did? What channel did it air on?
You know, Lady kind of does look like a Great Western 101 class, although modified quite a bit.
Glad to see Toy Story 2 is still made.
Glad to hear about Club Penguin lasting for another three years, though it still becomes one of the tragedies of 2020.
Postman Pat aired on Qubo, but it wasn't dubbed. In my timeline, they did dub the show.
