So fall on Japanese TV is a lot like fall on U.S. TV... 4Kids has
resorted to TMNT (post-2003) reruns, Yugi-oh reruns, and crappier
episodes of Dinosaur King and Chaotic:MI. I actually miss Digata
Defenders now. That's sad.

BUT HEY! There's always YouTube.

Have you posted a official gradebook of series yet?

Terrence Briggs, read that Spider Riders reruns daily on the digital
SD channels. Slip Teknoman and Robotech onto those channels and we'll
talk.
Peace to you...

If the networks were smart, they'd be broadcasting some of the 'grittier'
series (ie Daria, Downtown, Courage, Batman:TAS; Duckman, Spicy City) in
the appropriate time slots.

Then again, 'The Batman' is still in the belfry. 9_9

Believe it or not, I was able to discover some new favorites (and a *lot*
of hidden treasures) on that site due to some generous posters.

The fact that it bypasses 'political boundaries' should give the studios
cause to rethink their marketing strategy.

(*SEASONS*, people, not sample sets!)
(and belay those region locks and music replacements, ya bilge rats!)
(Arrrrr...)

I wonder what a certain 'Creepie Creecher' would say about those invading
insectoids...or a vacation in Santo Bugito. ~_^
