Ooh. Got any ideas for how Nick could try and defend their title?
As Dreamers Do Part Deux

A couple of spinoffs of All That and Kenan and Kel wouldn't hurt.
Hell NO! Considering the route the network would go down IRL, let them get thought their place.

For me, I just hope that at the very least, both Butch and Chris don't indulge in their less savory personality quirks.
Constant Payne most likely being a CN show ITTL... That gets me pretty hyped because of that...
Speaking of which, I wonder if A Kitty Bobo Show will get greenlit ITTL... I heard that IOTL, Kevin Kaliher and Meaghan Dunn tried pitching the show to Disney twice, the first time was before they tried selling it to CN, the second time was after that in 2005.
I mean, given who owns Nick and CN, either network could give Constant Payne a victory lap.
Given the history of the Big Pick, I think both Kitty Bobo and Kids Next Door should be part of the Nicktoons brand.
First off, great for Fox finally getting the rights to air their first Olympics
Second, are there any spots of land in the Gold Coast able to be use, third, if Six Kings ever build a park in Australia, it would be Melbourne, especially with one of the chain’s co-owners (Henson) buying Pearson‘s television division, which includes Neighbours, which took place in a fictional Melbourne suburb, it could tie in with the popular official tours run by Pearson that are popular with the show’s audience in Britain, and fourth, I need a list of O&O stations for the big six.
Glad to see MLS is here in this timeline and with the NY Cosmos back in action. I am curious about its history though?
Fun thought but why not have the league create it own "Hockey Night in Canada on CBC" with CBS?
I know the others very well but what is KBL? Is it just for TTL or do they exist OTL?
Just realize this. Is the Fox Trax thing in this TL or since Disney owns Fox they avoid it?
Honestly would let UPN, FX, The Hub, or Warner Freeform take over? Does The Hub have any experience with sports other than HBCU? Also for the Arena Football League, I would let ESPN, UPN, and Warner Freeform have a go?
How is the CFL doing in the US with NBC and Warner Freeform airing games?
Spectacular job! I really sure Joss Whedon's newest project Firefly will air on AEG TV by next year (OTL it was on Fox). I remember that Universal is releasing Josie and the Pussycats, and New Line Cinema is releasing Driven this month (April). Stanley Kubrick's upcoming film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence was delayed to 2002, so we have RKO Radio Pictures' Godzilla to be released on June 29, 2001 as Ang Lee's latest blockbuster epic.
MLS began in '96 and so far, Chicago and Dallas have been the only expansion teams added in '98.
SBC pretty much already did that with Wednesday Night Hockey back in the early 80's. SBC still airs the NHL on Wednesday Nights as of 2001.
IOTL, KBL only existed in Pittsburgh and later became a Fox/Root/AT&T affiliate.
The Hub still carries College Football games involving HBCU's like Grambling, Prairie View and North Carolina A&T. Other than that, The Hub carries NHRA drag racing and Monster Jam. In addition, should SBC have a breaking news story happen in the middle of a Notre Dame game, the game will switch over to The Hub until the breaking news segment ends.
The CFL has been doing okay on NBC, though they've had to have the Grey Cup on Saturday Nights to avoid getting squished by the NFL.
With AI, it'll likely be somebody else playing David because Haley Joel Osment will be voicing Link for the animated Legend of Zelda film for TriStar.
I think Jonathan Lipnicki was the one that fits well with the David role.
Josie and the Pussycats (2001 Film)
Josie and the Pussycats
Released by Universal Pictures on April 11, 2001
Based on the Archie comic created by
Dan DeCarlo
Cast and Crew
Same as OTL
Notes
- Just like IOTL, the film satirizes the commercialization of the music business.
- The fictional boy band DuJour is meant to lampoon the boy band trend of this time period.
- DuJour's manager Wyatt Frame, played by Alan Cumming, is a direct spoof of music mogul Lou Pearlman.
- The premiere for this film was held at the Universal Amphitheatre just a few months before it was demolished to make way for new attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood.
- At the premiere, Rachael Leigh Cook (above, as Josie) confirmed that she will play Sara Nade in Disney's upcoming live action adaptation of Carmen Sandiego, slated for a June 2002 release.
We'll Josie and the Pussycats is nice TTL, but can't wait to see the opening of Universal Studios Japan and the release of a new Universal Monsters second sequel entry The Mummy Returns, DreamWorks/Universal's Shrek, New Line Cinema's Swordfish and Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire. But I'll assign Evolution to Paramount Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures (OTL DreamWorks and Columbia both made the film).
