From one of the MAJOR entertainment conglomerates? I'd buy the animated sides of Time Warner (including both the Warner Bros Animation Studio and Cartoon Network Entertainment) and do, more or less, this: http://www.thexbridge.com/sb06.html My vision, minus the Turner side, of a new Cartoon Network Entertainment.

I think it's a good idea. Building a global brand in the the last place they could do it is always a good idea. Now, if only they'd bring Teletoon Stateside. An equivalent exchange of sorts. Something with the Teletoon spirit and insanity down here in the States, not to mention Canadian shows never seen here, would be great for us. Too bad it's a one-sided deal for now.

Maybe Canada's still feeling burned after they gave us Muchmusic USA. You know, MTV the way it used to be before they went "reality" on us? It was dropped, retooled, became Fuse, and only recently did Muchmusic give the ashes of what it left behind a renewed interest.

But once burned is once too many for them.

From what I see of you on Twitter, you seem to be a good-natured guy. Don't know how you could be better personally. Floss your teeth more, I don't know.

Theoretically, a dream. Together, they'd be a one-two-punch against the rising Disney powerhouse. Logistically, a nightmare. The Nick culture and the CN culture are two different beasts, and the more dominant culture will win out in the end and the lesser brand will be gone.

I'm kind of pessimistic about those sorts of things. It's almost like they use the classic cartoons on their lineup to say "Hey, we like 'em too" and whispering "but we have a lot of live-action stuff coming too, so here's a lollipop, you sucker!" They hope folks get blinded by 'em before hitting them with endless promotion for their next live-action thing. I'm just hoping DC Nation gets a hell of a lot of ad-time in comparison to Level Up before it premieres, but considering it's debuting in March and we haven't heard word one about it since the sizzle reel preview back in November, that's unlikely.

So yeah, they're not quite waking up (although the ratings on those classic cartoons are pretty good).

I don't want them replaced, but I would like them to ease up on the live-action push. Level Up has been bombarded in our systems for months, and they're acting like it's the network's salvation. So, they're putting it on a night with no competition on cable in between two certified hits. Moving Adventure Time to 7:30 PM on Mondays and Ben 10 to 9:30 AM on Saturdays are headscratchers. The lack of love for action cartoons is troubling too (though DC Nation will bring some more action to the table).

It's fun again and quite diverse.

FX, no doubt.

FX gets that it's about bringing variety to its viewers, like HBO. They have sports, movies, comedies, and dramas. AMC only has movies and dramas. Both networks are eclipsing HBO when it comes to drama, but FX has an edge because they're willing to venture to all forms of entertainment, and that's why it's more like HBO than AMC is.

FX. It's HBO that admits to being TV.

Let's see. Universal Pictures' recent slate of films have failed. NBC is still the lowest-rated of the Big Four networks. USA is still at the top of the cable ratings. Syfy is still largely straying from their sci-fi roots. Bravo, like MTV, is becoming more of a reality sewage plant. Versus is now NBC Sports Network.

In other words, aside from the NSN rebranding, nothing has changed at all. They're not creating anything new. They're not innovating the industry. They just are. Not that I was surprised because Comcast isn't exactly the zenith of creativity. They just have a little more stuff to play with, but they're not having fun with it. Shame, really.

Huntsman is probably the only Republican in the primaries with actual international experience and a display of leadership, plus, he doesn't make me cringe entirely with his policies. He's rational.

And that's why they won't pick Huntsman.

A, cap'n! Bold and big, just like that Star Spangled Avenger. I dig it.

No. It's bought and paid for by people with an agenda to spread hate and discontent as well as create a permanent divide and distrust of anybody who is different from the other guy, and because of that division, they thrive and survive on hate and discontent on both sides.

It's disgusting and corrosive, and I just don't like it.

To me, it's my lady friend a few states over. Love that girl of mine.

Too much to be honest.

If I could give any superhero a reboot, I'd go with Vixen. One of the few Black heroines in comics, she's probably the only one not named Storm who could break out on her own and be on par with the big guns of the DC Universe.

These are my choices? Geez . . . you've got a pug-like robber baron who wants to take Americans back to the '90s - the 1890s that is - and make sure the country was perpetually at war abroad and with its workers and you've got a scheming corporate raider who thinks the world owes him something and, despite looking like a guy who fired an average unemployed American, thinks that he's one of the common people.

Given the choice between . . . ugh . . . these two (personally, if I was a Republican, I'd pick Huntsman because he's the only one who's not making me vurb at the mere mention of him), I'd probably pick Romney because he actually has executive experience in government, and that's all.

That'd be telling, wouldn't it?

Yes. Yes I am. Got into it a little during the 1st season. Really got into the series at the end of the second season and all summer long. The third season is just fun as hell. Sorry to see it go on the bench in a few weeks.

I grew up with Professor Stein. Kind of weird seeing a stodgy professor barking commands to a kid. Kind of NAMBLA-like attraction. Probably why I wasn't a big Firestorm fan growing up.

I think Brave and the Bold cemented the idea of Ronnie Raymond as the voice inside Firestorm's head.

The idea of a more duel-nature Firestorm matrix with Jason as the body and Gehema as the mind intrigues me. Almost a physical embodiment of yin and yang. Masculine and feminine traits in one character.

Could be . . . entertaining.

Dexter's Laboratory.

Everything Genndy Tartakovsky has done after that series, from Samurai Jack and The Clone Wars to Sym-Bionic Titan and Hotel Transylvania, not to mention the guiding spirit of what we now see as Cartoon Network today began with that series

At its core, it's a funny sci-fi series that celebrates pop culture and childhood. Insane as much as it is silly. This was the first original fully-animated series on Cartoon Network. It's still one of my favorites to this day.
