@OldNavy1988, THIS JUST IN: The Jim Henson Company had agrees to acquired Pearson Television from Pearson plc. for $1.2 Billion dollars. This deal give them iconic game shows like The Price is Right and Family Feud and the libraries of Thames Television and Grundy Television, including the animated shows Danger Mouse and Count Duckula, formerly seen on Henson-owned Nickelodeon in the United States, CEO Michael Eisner says “With this deal, we will expand our production capabilities in the UK and expands to Australia with Grundy Television and gets some of the world’s most popular game show formats“
—The Financial Times

The plans are for the US-based production side folding into Touchstone Television, with Thames and Grundy remaining as separate studios under Touchstone, Worldvision will take over the distribution of Family Feud and To Tell the Truth and will launch a revisal of Card Sharks for the 2001-02 season, while The Price is Right will move to ABC Daytime for the 2002-03 season.

Whatever happens with Thames, I'll find a way for the iconic Thames logo to avoid being plastered.

Here's how a typical Thundercats VHS opened prior to Paramount's acquisition of Rankin-Bass.

After the RB transaction, Paramount would gain the home video rights to Thundercats by 1994.

Pre-Disney TMNT tapes also opened with FHE's yellow paper logo. Here's an OTL example:

Starting in May 1991, TMNT tapes from Disney opened like this. Beginning with the Sewer Heroes tapes:

However, Just Like IOTL in the As Dreamers Do Universe ITTL, CBS airs The Price is Right since 1972 and is still hosted by Bob Barker as of right now in the year 2001, but in 2007, I Hope Drew Carey will be the new host like in OTL as well.

And What about the Other Game Shows currently airing ITTL as well?

    Henson has promised that they won’t plastered the Thames logo, in addition, in order to pay off debt, they will sold off Pearson’s 24% stake in the UK’s Channel 5 to RTL/UFA for £100 Million pounds to focus more on Central Independent Television, the ITV franchise for the Midlands, which it owns since 1991.

    1: I'm glad the guy manages to live.
    2: As it should, to be honest.
    3: I would have Sunway sell the Wonderland park to Disney. That way, they'd get a headstart against the opposing competition. As for said competition, I'd want Universal or Turner to get the Australian yes.
    4: Sounds pretty good for the Grammys. And the fact that Fox's first NASCAR broadcast wasn't a complete disaster is fantastic news on top of that.

    We'll love the Fox NASCAR landing, but we would have New Line Cinema to made Exit Wounds, Driven, Swordfish, Rock Star, The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Don't Say a Word (OTL Warner Bros. made the former four, DreamWorks made the fifth and 20th Century Fox made the latter). I'll have Haim Saban to buy the Culver Studios backlot for use with Golden Harvest and New Line Cinema.
