As Dreamers Do Part Deux

Yes, how is Cartoon Network doing at this point ITTL?
Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents and The Loud House are the main ratings draws for the Cartoon Network at the moment.

Williams Street, the adult unit of Ruby-Spears, says that new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes will air on Adult Swim starting this fall.

Well if we got a Cartoon Network update, how is Nick doing as of now?
Hannah Montana has been the ratings draw for Nickelodeon at the moment. Other than that, you have Ben 10 as one of the newer Nicktoons. You've also got Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner's a Monkey and Juniper Lee.

The new show for Nick on ABC this fall will be Class of 3000 with Andre Benajmin.

Awesome!

And I can also guess that Avatar and Danny Phantom has also become the other main ratings draw as would have Ben 10(assuming Ben 10 still is even on Cartoon Network ITTL).

And because of my last paragraph, I, some for estranged reason, have this weird gut feeling inside that Toonami won't last much longer, at least on weekday afternoons....
Williams Street, the adult unit of Ruby-Spears, says that new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes will air on Adult Swim starting this fall.
Awesomer!

And does Adult Swim air anime ITTL?

If so, is it unbranded, or using the AcTN branding:

We'll probably get somewhat of a look at in the Fall '06 SatAM lineup.

Speaking of which, what are the new consoles for the seventh generation going to be like?

Great...

And now we need something for CN.....

I guess since CN and Nick keeps siphoning shows from each other, it's only natural that this happen....

Ok.
 
Working titles for each next generation console...
Sega:
X-Box
Panasonic: TBD
Nintendo: Revolution or Wii
Atari: TBD
Awesome!

Though, I'd call Sega's console the Solaris, with the handheld being called the Pluto, Panasonic's should be called the Rubicon, I'd keep the Wii name and for Atari, I'd choose Atari Cougar.

I'll keep those in mind, but I feel I should hear from everyone else before I finalize all the platform names.

I'll second Solaris and Rubicon, and Cougar if Atari hasn't used already (though given that cougars aren't that big, it might be more fitting for a handheld), but I'll disagree and say Revolution is a better name than Wii.

Make that three votes for Rubicon and Solaris, but I’ll agree with Roger and say I prefer Revolution to Wii. As for Atari, I’ll go with something original and say Coyote rather than Cougar.

As a VHS enthusiast growing up, I'd probably try to earn money a lot quicker to get these tapes.
On July 11, 2006, Limited Run released the following titles from each of the major studios:

DISNEY
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Urusei Yatsura: Only You
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Die Hard
The Avengers
Speed
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
While the lack of a Disney Animated Canon film does make me sad, I am glad we got Urusei Yatsura and Roger Rabbit, which scratch the Disney animation itch fine enough for now.

Perhaps in Wave 2, we can get Snow White or All Dogs Go to Heaven.
PEACOCK
Dracula (1931 Version)
Frankenstein (1931 Version)
King Kong
Citizen Kane
Jaws
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Jurassic Park

From a mainstream perspective, Peacock might have the most impressive library so far. Literally every one of these is a certified classic.
PARAMOUNT
Charlotte's Web
Saturday Night Fever
Airplane!
The Thief and the Cobbler
Ghostbusters
Top Gun
Crocodile Dundee
The Arthur Movie
This library continues the tradition of there being more acclaimed features than obscure ones.
TURNER
The Wizard of Oz
Gone with the Wind
Dr. No
The Pink Panther
(1964 movie)
2001: A Space Odyssey
Rocky
Thelma and Louise
Beavis and Butt-Head Do America
Scratch what I said about Peacock, because Turner now has the greatest Wave 1 library in this batch.
WARNER BROS.
The Incredible Mr. Limpet
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Rambo: First Blood Part 1
Xenomorph
Gremlins
Goonies
Predator
Total Recall
Of all the WB-owned films you could have picked, Mr. Limpet would be one of the better in-house choices from before the 80s.

Unbelievable. In this first wave, between 10 and 13 percent of the films are no big deals in the movie business, and even then, I'm probably lowballing that rate!

Each console should be out by November or late October, whichever can be advantageous to stay ahead of the Black Friday and Christmas rush.

Great timing!

And I think there should be a Halo animated series on G4, speaking of G4, how is G4 doing at this point, especially since we haven't heard from it at all in quite awhile?
@eldandythedoubter
I could've sworn Panasonic already had a Rubicon system in the current generation, if so, the next gen console can be the Rubicon II. Would that be okay?
And I forgot that Panasonic even remained in the business ITTL....

G4 is still roughly the same as OTL with Attack of the Show and XPlay being their main ratings draws.

Panasonic is actually still around IOTL, but I think they're much smaller in stature than before.
 
Ok. Cool!

SO this means G4 still turns into Spike TV. Jr.?
Not exactly.

As Peacock acquired the USA Network as part of its purchase of Universal Studios, Peacock might try to sell Spike or reformat it to avoid redundancy. Peacock's market research in the past year has found that Spike's ratings were extremely low among women.

Plus Disney owns G4 ITTL, so there's that.
