Note this line especially:
"This will most likely mean that Kids' WB! shows like "Pokemon," "Cubix" and "Yu-Gi-Oh!," all of which are owned by 4Kids Entertainment, will be heading to Fox Kids come fall. This has yet to be confirmed, but we will look for some type of confirmation."
(Look of shock crosses Brainatra's face)
Egad....if it's true, does this mean what I think it means? That after all this time, all the obnoxious recycled-stock-footage promos, all the hyper-emphasis, all of its characters-who-can't-even-talk-above-a-nine-month-old's-level ("pi-ka pi-ka"/"char-char"/etc.), it's *finally* going to go bye-bye, and jump ship for another channel (*and* taking "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Cubix" with it)?!?
(Breaks out the champagne/sparkling grape juice and party streamers....)
Of course, they'll surely be looking for their next Obnoxious New Franchise to overhype, and/or find some *other* obnoxious anime series to over-hype (heard suggested that Dragonball Z thing as one possible candidate), though I gather for the short term, they'll probably be trying to build up "Scooby Doo" to fill that role (and/or maybe someone else's suggestion that they'll import other Cartoon Network series...), which of course is overexposed as it is (though at least it's something I actually *liked* at some point in the past, plus it seems rather strange to think that the Scoobster has better speaking skills than any of the Poke-critters [well, save for Meowth, which must imply that the other Poke-critters have some sort of speech development disorder or are dumber than they look or something...] ;-) .
