oldnavy ever heard of the cinnomon bear. It was higly scucceful childrn radio mini series form 1937 dealing withe adveture of 2 childern and talkign teddy form a magic kingdom on a quest to retrive a stolen christmas tree star. A book version came out in 2007 otl to celrbrate it 70 anvierisy. I like the idea of a cartoon version of the cinimon bear come out instead of the book atl . Heres a link to the cinnomon bear wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cinnamon_Bear
 
Here's what I have in mind for Atari's new console:
- Viper
- Wolverine
- Raptor
- Rhino
- Panther
- Husky
- Coyote
- Cheetah
- Scorpion
- Prowler
- Bengal
- Cobra
- Talon
- Stingray
- Tigon
- Liger

As for Sega, do you guys still like Solaris for the new console name?
I’m still going with Coyote. And yes, I still like Solaris for a name

Home Sweet Dome (New Orleans Saints' 2006 home opener)
maxresdefault.jpg

Above: Steve Gleason's iconic punt block, now a symbol of New Orleans' rebirth, just like IOTL.

Monday Night Football:
Alanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints

Played on September 25, 2006, at the Louisiana Superdome
TV: ABC
Announcers: Al Michaels and John Madden in the booth with Lisa Guerrero on the sidelines.

After a year of tragedy and heartbreak, millions of viewers tuned into ABC for a showcase of New Orleans' slow but steady recovery from Hurricane Katrina.

Pregame ceremonies included a surprise concert by U2 and Green Day, who both played "The Saints are Coming."

ITTL, one New Orleans native in particular made damn sure he was there to see this game in person.

(Al and John talking over a crowd shot):
Al Michaels: There's Gus St. Pierre, in attendance tonight with his entire family. Wife Reese Witherspoon, son Archie and daughter Clarissa.

(Cut to Drew Brees in the Saints huddle):
John Madden: Al, we cut away too soon because his sisters are here too.

(Back to the crowd shot):
Al Michaels: Yes, that's right. Also, here with Gus tonight is his aunt Ivy Boudreaux, older sister Daphne, an elementary schoolteacher...And his younger sisters; pop singer Del St. Pierre; animator Blanche Boudreaux, now working at Nelvana; Renee, now a video game tester for Namco; Gabby St. Pierre, pharmacy technician and Avril St. Pierre, now an employee for the upstart Limited Run in Portland, Oregon.

*Saints' First down pass completion results in another first down*

Al Michaels: And with Colston reeling that pass in for another Saints first down, let's take a moment to see more of Gus's extended family tonight; Hugh Jackman is here, along with Kenan Thompson...and now we see Devon Sawa in attendance...a quick glimpse of him...Patrick Stewart...Marguerite Moreau is here too...and finally, there's Melissa Joan Hart.

Just like IOTL, the Saints delivered on their return to their rightful home with a victory over the Atlanta Falcons. One moment in particular that will be remembered forever was Steve Gleason's punt block.

Well, we have Zack & Cody, Class Of 3000, Scooby, Bloo & Mac, Ben, Hannah Montana, Muttley & Dick Dastardly. Juniper Lee, the Eds and My Gym Partner's A Monkey.

Overall, for a block that's basically a mini version of the main cable channel, Nick On ABC's actually been pretty darn good.

This, I'd probably really tune in for this, but the part I'd absolutely watch EVERY WEEK would obviously be The Story Of Tracy Beaker, and I could even see the show selling a decent amount of merch and becoming a hit, eventually leading to a cult following like it has in the UK now IOTL.

And Sonic X is still running? Color me surprised.

And I'd assume that Turner wanted Tom & Jerry to be on broadcast TV? Well, I mean, the show would still air on Cartoon Network, so yeah.

Speaking of CN, how's Toonami, Boomerang and Adult Swim doing?
New shows in BOLD.

Let me know which series you're looking forward to this year.
Well, my lineup would have to be this:
8AM: I'm stuck between Zack & Cody, Arthur and Being Ian. I'd probably go with Arthur because Z&C would rerun on Nick and Being Ian would probably run elsewhere on cable.
8:30AM: Tracy Beaker, nothing else to be said, everything else on there would probably be reran on cable, although if they do repeat their Fall lineups in the Spring, then I'd gladly watch CoTT then.
9AM: I'd go with WITCH
9:30AM: Probably Crazy Taxi or Winx Club.
10AM: Dang.....I'd probably go with Zatch Bell. The rest will likely show up on cable.
10:30AM: either Legion Of Superheroes or He-Man.
11AM: I'd probably either switch to a cable channel for a half-hour, play on my Gameboy or TTL's equivalent of the PSP while waiting for the next slot, if not, Hikaru No Go.
11:30AM: considering what's on, I'd go with Jet Set Radio.
12PM: I'm stuck between Teen Titans, One Piece or TMNT.
12:30PM: I'd probably just stick to Samurai Pizza Cats reruns.
What I see here is a mostly-CN lineup with the Nick branding. I'm alright with that.
Yeah, but I'd want Nick to get a identity of it's own rather than being OTL CN with a few OTL shows from Disney Channel....
So, has Nelvana been bought by CBS-Discovery yet? Just asking.
Yes, they have. He stated that already.
Given this NBC lineup, maybe Lionsgate could be one of Universal's theme park partners later in life.
That would be cool.

Nice.
ABC's SatAm strategy for the last few years has been to give access to a taste of Nick's programming for the kids who don't have cable.

The thing with those timeslots for Casper and Molly McGee and TMNT is that those shows are sometimes pre-empted on the west coast for Fox's College Football coverage.

With Tom and Jerry Tales being on UPN, that's because Paramount's library is the result of acquisitions, and even with that, Paramount is still very thin on family IPs without Nickelodeon ITTL.

I remember watching that game. Loudest crowd I’ve ever heard on a TV when Gleason blocked that punt.
 
ABC's SatAm strategy for the last few years has been to give access to a taste of Nick's programming for the kids who don't have cable.
Well, that's nice.

Is it the same for Fox, UPN, SBC and NBC?
The thing with those timeslots for Casper and Molly McGee and TMNT is that those shows are sometimes pre-empted on the west coast for Fox's College Football coverage.
Oh.

That's why they're on that late?

I mean, they'd still come on on Toon Disney later that day or the following week so yeah.
With Tom and Jerry Tales being on UPN, that's because Paramount's library is the result of acquisitions, and even with that, Paramount is still very thin on family IPs without Nickelodeon ITTL.
Really?

Well, they need to get some comic book rights, and get MORE family IPs.

In the more recent seasons of the series, you'll notice Devon Sawa delivering his lines in a slightly lower register, which was why he contemplated asking the studio to hand the role to someone else.

Paramount does have Plastic Man but I forgot who else was originally owned by Quality Comics IOTL. They also have The Spirit, which they acquired from the Will Eisner estate.

Ok.

Syndication for kids shows STILL exists by NOW ITTL?

Color me very intrigued.

Does this mean Saturday Morning blocks will remain into the future of TTL(the present IOTL)?

Here's a list of Quality Comics characters:

And perhaps Plastic Man and The Spirit cartoons could premiere in 2007 alongside a new She-Ra series?

Don Cherry (Archived footage from a 1995 edition of Hockey Night in Canada)
"Down in the States, SBC's Wednesday Night games have gone downhill since they got rid of the disco music in '85. I say quit pandering to all the metalheads and hip-hoppers and bring back that disco song you hosers!"

Note that in addition to John Bahler's "Powerhouse" and Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2," SBC did borrow CBC's Hockey Night theme for a few years in the late 80's and into the 90's.

Now for the 2006-07 season, David Shire's "Manhattan Skyline," which Don Cherry is referring to, will return full time thanks to popular demand. But the theme did not completely go away after 1984-85 season. It was brought back in 1990 for the first game of the Tenth Anniversary season, and for the first games of the 15th and 20th anniversaries too. Plus, it was brought back for future-NHL Commissioner Wayne Gretzky's last Wednesday Night appearance in 1999 while he was with the Rangers.

The "Manhattan Skyline" theme officially returned for a neutral site preseason game in New Orleans between the Mighty Ducks of San Diego and the Atlanta Flames. The Revelers of the IHL, in case you're wondering were saved from relocation.


During that 21-year hiatus, "Manhattan Skyline" was often used in many sitcoms whenever a script called for a character to be watching hockey, like for instance on Cheers where some of the characters would watch the Boston Bruins at the bar.
 
Great! Since we are waiting for the world sequels to Pacific Rim, Shezow and Sin City, we will get Warner Bros.' The Departed, Universal/Peacock Releasing's The Marine, Disney's Flicka, New Line Cinema (North America)/Luxor Pictures (International)'s The Prestige, Warner Bros./Peacock/Dreamworks' Flags of Our Fathers, Lionsgate's Saw III , and TriStar's Running with Scissors. BTW, Christopher Nolan is doing Shezow, and then The Prestige TTL.
