I don't like the way Cartoons are born these days, debuting on some basic cable channel or (Lord forbid) some internet web site. It's just not natural!
Everybody knows that new Cartoons need to be born on the first Saturday in September, right after a Thursday or Friday night "Sneak Preview" of the new Saturday Morning Line-Up hosted by one of the networks prime-time "Stars" (usually a co-star or member of the supporting cast from a popular sit-com... somebody like the kid from Mr. Belvedere or Dwight "Howlin' Mad Murdock" Schultz).
Once the new baby cartoons have "hatched" on Saturday Morning, it's a Darwinian Survival-Of-The-Fittest Battle Royale at it's best!
Four competitors enter the arena every half-hour... ABC, NBC, CBS and "Syndicated" (which was replaced by "FOX" in the early 90's). Smurfs versus Monchichi! Ghostbusters versus Turbo Teen! Bugs Bunny versus Bravestarr! The victors came back next season to become a part of our shared Pop Culture Heritage, the losers were banished to to limbo till the next century when technology would allow them to be reborn via DVD and obsessive downloading, THE WAY THAT THE CARTOON GAWDS MEANT IT TO BE!
