Phineas and Ferb
Launched on September 22, 2007 on Fox

Created by
Dan Povenmire
Jeff "Swampy" Marsh

Executive Producers
Dan Povenmire
Robert F. Hughes
Sir Daniel Abbott

Animation produced by
Walt Disney Television Animation (Burbank and Kansas City)

Theme song performed by
Bowling for Soup

Voice Talents
Same as OTL

Notes
As the voice of Lawrence Fletcher, Phineas and Ferb is Richard O'Brien's first project for the Disney conglomerate since The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975. Rocky Horror is often debated as being the first 20th Century-Fox release under Disney's ownership. Because Rocky Horror was already in post-production when the Fox purchase was first announced in July of '75, some film historians suggest that Fox's first release through the Buena Vista distribution arm was technically The Omen, which was released a year later.​
Cool!

Any new news for us, specifically about the SatAM game?
 
P&F, based. Did you know that the creators pitched it to Fox Kids, alongside Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, before Disney picked it up?

Yeah, I did hear of that!

Maybe I'll use that for my TL.....
Both Povenmire and Marsh still hopped, skipped and jumped across Hollywood before Disney finally said yes ITTL.

P&F fans can expect the denizens of Danville to be featured on Kingdom Hearts: The Series next year.

Sweet! Wish I could have grown up with it ITTL (late 90s/early 2000s kid here) but you're never too old for cartoons.

ITTL, the New York Giants still have the lowercase "ny" initals on the helmets.

Here's my idea for a secondary logo, but you probably won't like it.

Looks more like a battleship than a Skyscraper if you ask me.

As a mid/late-2000's kid myself, you're missing out on one of Disney's most beloved cartoons. If it wasn't, the creators wouldn't still be making shows for them to this day.

It's a pretty good show, I watched some of it back in 2020 during COVID and it lived up to the hype. Surprised it didn't get green-lit earlier in both this timeline and IRL considering how good it is.

Well, if it was a 90s show, it would have been more of an underrated gem. In the late 2000's, however? It was a frickin godsend to the industry.

I assume this still gets a long, successful run with some of the best-written comedy and characters in TV history?

Summary
Basically, the 2-hour special takes the viewer on a journey through CN's history up to this point. CN's early years consisted of licensing select properties from Hanna-Barbera, the Fleischer-Terry and Famous Studios catalogs from Universal and even the Fox Movietoon catalog. Along with those, CN also gave time slots to the 1933-57 Popeye shorts (Fleischer-Terry 1933-52; Famous 1953-57), Pre-1948 Warner Bros. cartoons under the half-hour Bugs and Daffy format. Additionally, Turner's 1982 purchase of MGM gave CN access to the cartoons of Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Red, Spike and Tyke and McWolf. As time went by, the classics of yesteryear began to share programming space with newer, original material (Doug, Spongebob, FOP, Danny Phantom, Avatar, Zim, etc.).

Notes
Viewers noticed the absence of Fairy Odd Parents and Danny Phantom from this special. That was mostly due to the legal issues surrounding the creator of both series, which has been fully documented in recent months. After it was initially reported that both series would be canceled outright, CN confirmed that both would continue since the network owns the copyright. At first, there was talk of Steve Marmel taking over as the showrunner for both series as early as 2009, but that was soon debunked when Variety reported that Marmel was working on a live action pilot for Oaxis called Sonny with a Chance. Instead, Sam Register will take the mantle.​
 
Question submitted by @Mitch!

Which two, of Gus St. Pierre’s “cousins,” were killed as a direct result of Hurricane Katrina?

Scott Aaron Boudreaux (1969-2005) was Uncle Andre's son from a prior relationship. Andre and Jane Comstock divorced in 1972 and Andre remarried with Ivy St. Pierre in 1974 while he was majoring in engineering at LSU. Comstock made several false accusations against Andre and duped a Baton Rouge judge into giving her full custody of Scottie. After Gus St. Pierre and his younger siblings were born, Andre was still only able to stay in touch with Scottie during supervised visits. As an adult, Scottie joined the Army and was stationed in Germany for most of his twenties. At 31, he returned to his native Louisiana to serve in the National Guard. In August of 2005, during Hurricane Katrina, a downed powerline made contact with the floodwater while Scottie was helping evacuate the most vulnerable parts of the city.

Tyler Joseph "TJ" DuBois (1984-2005) was Gus's half brother. He was born to Gus's biological father Eugene DuBois and Jane Doe. He was attending Tulane in the immediate years before the hurricane. He tried to evacuate just hours before the hurricane made landfall and got impatient with the gridlock of the outbound traffic. He got out of his car in the middle of the westbound lanes of Interstate 10.

I have a feeling Ted Turner should narrate this. As in, narrate the documentary bits of the show unless Robin, Whoopi, and Billy do that.

Why is Sean Akins and Jason DeMarco not here? They created Toonami....

Is Toonami in the process of being cancelled?

Any new shows from Cartoon Network?

Yeah, I figured.

Hopefully Sonny with a Chance will become successful for Oaxis.

He does. But Whoopi, Billy and Robin are credited as hosts only when they're on camera together.
Yeah.

Overall, a good special!
