Re: How does the Syndication System work?

Hi Cure DragonEagle, I got the basics down pat, but I want to know the more about it. Other Jason has always had a marvelous ability to explain and inform people. Thanks for the kind words, but I may let you down. Television syndication is a pretty complicated subject. It's changed a lot over the y...

I need help from old BotP fans. How was the era it was created in?

I wanna discuss something. I want to get a clearer picture of the era BOTP was made from its fans. People nowadays have a very clear idea of what happened in the past. Hindsight is 20/20 and the history has been documented extensively. But I want to know of the personal memories of people who lived ...

Re: Gatchaman TV Series and Movie Return to HIDIVE

I wonder if its AMC Networks who I must adress in my "Lets get Gatchaman on TV Again" Campaign! I want to get either Battle Of The Planets or Gatchaman itself.

As of 1979, the show was running on 100 network affiliates during after-school hours. “For many American teens and young adults, this would be their first taste of Japanese pop,” wrote aut...

Re: How was life for kids in the early days of Cable?

I was a cliche and boring cable kid, Nick, CN the usual. But what does make things interesting is that we South American kids had this unique to Argentina channel that also broadcast in Paraguay: Magic Kids, no G Force but it had most of the anime that put Toonami on the map. Also massive thank you,...
