Yeah..................
And why they scrap the show?
Maybe bring the series back?
Yeah, no. Just no.
Also, i don’t know if I missed it or not, but did the proposed Patakis Hey Arnold! Spin off make it to air ITTL?

That's great! May his presidency go as well as it did IRL!
Good.
Surprised the Broncos got that far with that roster. Anyway, going with Eagles over Chargers in the Super Bowl. Even though I'm a Cardinals fan, i'm happy with just one Super Bowl title, which we got last year, so anything else is just gravy for me.
Nice!

"Have we seen the last game for Kurt Warner in a Cardinal jersey? Could this be Denny Green's last game as the Cards' head coach? Those are the questions owner Michael Bidwill will have to answer this offseason."

Brian Burke on Tiff
Interview with TSN
Brian Burke (General Manager; Mighty Ducks of San Diego)
"The first week that Tiffany took control of the franchise from her dad, it was Ace Bailey our head of pro scouting [1] who recommended that Tiff hire me to succeed Al Coe. As soon as I got here, I met with Tiff and she basically told me that I could sign any player I wanted as long as they were coachable and team-oriented."
Randy Carlyle (Head coach; Mighty Ducks of San Diego)
"Brian Murray had already won the first two cups for San Diego in 2001 and '03. But after they missed the playoffs in 2004, Walt Jr. abrupty fired Murray. Walt, I learned later, was hospitalized that same year with hypertension. That, and the threat of potential buyers trying to move the team out of San Diego, was why he gave the franchise to Tiffany even though she was barely graduating college by that point. One of Tiff's first acts was to replace Al Coe with Brian Burke. She knew she needed a head coach, but she wanted one that was already a proven winner as a bench boss. When I came to interview with Tiff I explained to her about my experience having led the Manitoba Moose to a couple of Turner Cups in the IHL and she hired me right away."
NOTES
[1] With Weinstein having averted 9/11 ITTL, Ace Bailey is still alive. IOTL, Bailey held the same title for the Los Angeles Kings when he and amateur scout Mark Bavis were killed while aboard United Flight 175.

The first official program to be broadcast on Oaxis was a rerun of The Bird! The Bird! and Neatness Counts, the first two episodes from the 1989 Nelvana/Nintendo series The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Right after that was On Leather Wings, the first episode of Batman: The Animated Series.
In case you're wondering, the 80's Columbia logo (below) was used in the BTAS intro ITTL. After this appears, the light from the torch turns into the Bat signal via cross dissolve.

And where'd you get that logo?

CBS Discovery wanted to make a huge first impression, hoping people would forget Blanche's ongoing divorce from the Nelvana studio.
IOTL, there's another Oaxis which is like a smartwatch company.
The Oaxis logo that Butch Hartman wanted to use for his Kickstarter-backed streaming service had a logo I thought looked too amateurish.
