Really?TNBC still exists as a weekday afternoon block in the Saturday Morning Live! timeline. Still ends in 2002, though.
I would watch that.In honor of the launch of X-Men '97, I thought I'd make it the cornerstone of a Jetix revival.

In this instance, it would be through Marc Brown being hands-on with the development of the show to prevent any mishaps through adaptation. I may even consider having Mark Zaslove (absolutely no relation to David Zaslav) on board to handle the beginning of the series, given his work on Winnie the Pooh in the 80s.How did Arthur end up on ABC ITTL?
Thank ZeusMark Zaslove (absolutely no relation to David Zaslav)
Glad you enjoyed my idea for a Disney’s Arthur! I wanna say that personally, it’s one of my strongest ideas that I’ve ever churned out.In this instance, it would be through Marc Brown being hands-on with the development of the show to prevent any mishaps through adaptation.

But personally, it was thanks to @MoistLasagna imagining it in a PM thread. I actually think Arthur as a Disney cartoon is one of his best ideas, even if we don't agree on how it comes to fruition.
Not only do I enjoy it as a major Disney fan from the 2000s, but having Disney adapt Arthur makes their take on Mary Poppins look like a Uwe Boll production. It just makes that much sense between the studio and the project.Glad you enjoyed my idea for a Disney’s Arthur!

Cool. I'm shocked Disney didn't dub the other Transformers anime.An alternate "what if..." as in, what if Disney ALSO got the rights to the Fox Kids BLOCK as well as the programming? Well, for one, Disney decides to keep the weekday block around, in exchange for ending their (also on weekdays) block on UPN early- in January 2002 as opposed to fall 2003. This includes the knocked-back start time from 3 PM to 2 PM. I'll start with fall 2002 and see where we go from here.

*is confusedCool. I'm shocked Disney didn't dub the other Transformers anime.
Makes sense. By 2002, the only comedy on Disney's One Too was Recess, unless you count the 2002 midseason of The Weekenders and Sabrina, which gets butterflied away here.An alternate "what if..." as in, what if Disney ALSO got the rights to the Fox Kids BLOCK as well as the programming?

Power Rangers and Digimon keep their spaces from the previous season, just moved up an hour, while reruns of Spider-Man promote the then-new movie. I take it Buzz Lightyear "qualifies" as E/I programming?WEEKDAYS:
2 PM: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
2:30 PM: Spider-Man
3 PM: Power Rangers Wild Force
3:30 PM: Digimon: Digital Monsters
That's a pretty stacked action lineup, but I can tell 9-11 are the real moneymakers of the newly-managed block. On the plus side, Recess can air on cable a year earlier.SATURDAYS

If One Saturday Morning only had two free slots open, I can see why Lloyd in Space and House of Mouse are the two you'd choose. I'd personally have The Weekenders be the 11:30 show, but it ain't my lineup.Meanwhile, on ABC's One Saturday Morning (which does not get rebranded to ABC Kids)...

Nah, just putting it there. The E/I weekday slot will actually be separate from Fox Kids but syndicated by Disney to Fox stations- I’m thinking Bill Nye. Meanwhile, Buzz Lightyear and Legend of Tarzan were both shows on Disney’s final season on UPN and launch programs for Toon Disney’s version of Jetix. I actually wanted Tarzan on weekdays as well, but I know how much both the Action Block and Jetix loved bringing back shows to cash in on popular movies (which is, spoiler alert, how you see X-Men come back for X2 in 2003), and Buzz has almost twice as many episodes as Tarzan, and Tarzan is a newer show that only premiered “last year”, so I’m fine with having it as a Saturday exclusive for now. Plus, I do see Disney cutting Digimon down to one slot before ending the series.Power Rangers and Digimon keep their spaces from the previous season, just moved up an hour, while reruns of Spider-Man promote the then-new movie. I take it Buzz Lightyear "qualifies" as E/I programming?
They’re the money-making time slots in general across all Saturday morning lineups, let’s be real.That's a pretty stacked action lineup, but I can tell 9-11 are the real moneymakers of the newly-managed block.
Yep. I mean, there’s still ABC, but Disney owning ABC means that shows can air on both ABC and cable at the same time, which can’t be said for UPN.On the plus side, Recess can air on cable a year earlier.
By the start of fall 2002, House of Mouse still had 26 episodes to air. Lloyd in Space had seventeen. The Weekenders had five, and Disney had already shifted episode premieres to UPN in fall 2001.If One Saturday Morning only had two free slots open, I can see why Lloyd in Space and House of Mouse are the two you'd choose. I'd personally have The Weekenders be the 11:30 show, but it ain't my lineup.
I know you brought back Coconut Fred because in the DM we discussed how it was a non-zero possibility Cookie Jar picked it up, but I have loads of questions beside that. Why did Magi-Nation stop being E/I? Why isn’t Nanoboy E/I despite being E/I when it aired on Vortexx? Why are Mona the Vampire E/I and A Miss Mallard Mystery E/I when they WEREN’T E/I when they aired on ThisTV? Why is Gerald McBoing Boing E/I when it aired on a block that partially sold itself on NOT being educational (though you can say the same about Peppa Pig, which Nick Jr. claims is educational, and Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, which was E/I when it ran on Qubo)? Why did you drop Spectacular Spider-Man earlier than IOTL? Why is the most watched OTA Saturday morning block unearthing stuff from years ago in prime-ish slots? Why are there preschool shows at the beginning of the block and at the end of the block but with the older skewing action shows in the middle? Why, why, WHY?!?But you know what IS my lineup? Imagining Cookie Jar TV on The CW. Credit goes to @Otakuninja2006 for bringing this to my attention. I never would have found that out otherwise:

And before you ask about CBS, DiC Kids Network would move there as Cookie Jar's second SatAM programming block for the late 2000s.
