@Tacomaster TRWC is likely to acquiesce to the cable companies' demands. In the meantime....
More Butch Hartman Revelations
"Butch's initial model sheets for Sam Manson were based on a 1995 Time magazine photo of Blanche Boudreaux, who was 15 when that picture was taken. When Cartoon Network officials found out, they asked Steve Marmel to redesign the character to avoid potential likeness issues. Butch didn't know until he saw the first dailies and when he discovered the truth, Butch put a laxative in Steve's coffee the next morning."
- Former Ruby-Spears employee Katie Rice
A year ago, our legal staff informed Butch that we might need to pick a different color scheme for Danny Fenton's street clothes because attorneys at New Line Cinema complained that his outfit was too similar to their character Andy Larkin. The next day, Butch storyboarded an entire episode of Danny going ghost and beating up a Canadian-accented prankster that was hitting on Sam. And after that episode aired, New Line threatened us with a cease and desist.
- Sam Register; Cartoon Network executive
Butch often got pretty defensive when someone accused him of adding Chloe to Fairly Odd Parents as a way to pick on Tiffany Disney for her Asperger's and incontinence issues. Just last year at Comic Con, he got in the face of a 10 year old girl who innocently asked him about the rumors.
- Mike Lazzo; Cartoon Network executive
When Butch smashed the windows of Tara's car, she started to cry hysterically. As soon as he was done with his handiwork, Tara tearfully asked him how she was supposed to get home. Butch smugly told her "Call a cab" and walked away as if nothing happened."
- Grey DeLisle; Voice actress
A quick side note:
Shortly after Butch's arrest, NBC aired a Saturday Night Live sketch in which Jason Sudekis played Butch Hartman and Amy Poehler played Tara Strong reenacting the window smashing incident. Kia pulled its advertising from the show because they were still facing public pressure to reimburse Strong.

Right. But former President Weinstein has now been accused to threating female world leaders with those if they declined his advances.
Is a TV series in its future?
And… THIS GUY is one of the ones to “save” AEG? One scumbag owner to another, I suppose..l
In a year or so. I'm not sure who the target audience is. Most likely at Adult Swim.
IOTL, they rejected both CN and AS for, among other reasons, CN being too young skewing and AS being too old skewing.
Yeah. They were afraid CN would try to tone it down, and AS would try too hard to make it needlessly edgy.
Are there any tween/teen animation destinations?

Homestar Runner has had a cult following among college kids, and the closest it mostly has in swearing is the word "crap" (that's why it was rejected by CN IOTL, because Matt and Mike Chapman would not cut the word out.). Considering The Brother Chaps' partnership with Disney IOTL, maybe Homestar and Strong Bad could run alongside Eddsworld on FX. Heck, have Making Fiends go to FX instead of Nickelodeon, and maybe give WhirlGirl it's own tv show, and we could probabaly have a "Webtoons" block on FX!
What timeslots do you think would be suitable for FX's Webtoon block?
Can only imagine how that's gonna end
Good
Why is the Chicago MLS team the Rhythm and not the Fire since the name Rhythm doesn't really have a connection to Chicago? Anyway, all of the mentioned buyers seem like solid options.
1. Well, best of luck to Mr. Mastrov, but I do hope Vancouver can get an MLB team back sometime. Nashville (or Memphis) and Charlotte (or Raleigh/Durham) could also make good homes for a team. San Jose could also work if Oakland or Sacramento doesn't work out.
2. Well, sure hope they make better owners than Jed York could ever dream of (or not considering i'm a Cardinals fan)
@WB18 @Nivek
As of 2007 ITTL, Bill Bidwill has already retired and handed the team to Michael a few years earlier.
As part of the Cards' 15th anniversary at the Circle K Dome, they're contemplating a logo change.
First, here is the current look. I'm not sure how you felt about the navy blue trim on the old white jerseys, but I miss seeing the state flag on the sleeves IOTL.
Logo change options. What the Cards could do is simply slap one of these on the helmets and keep the rest of the uniforms the same as their OTL 1996-2004 look.
As much as our current look shines, the second one with the kachina elements kicks butt.@WB18 @Nivek

Great job! But all ties of Anschutz were cut, so the new Start TV is on the way to cable providers. Bain Capital's entertainment division is also going to buy the comic company Dynamite Entertainment through The Romney/Weinstein Company after failed attempts to merge with other comic companies.
Actually, the Dynamite transaction was thwarted when a few employees staged a wildcat strike because of concerns that Romney/Weinstein might rollback LGBT representation in Dynamite's comics.
