About Teamo supremos birthday bandit

[B.W.H.]

I read on Spiderfan.coms electric company spidey segment section that there was a villian named the Birthday Bandit who did the same exact things as Teamo Supremos Birthday Bandit now correct me if im wrong but doesnt Paramount own the rights to The electric Company and should the creator be sued.

I grew up on The Electric Company & those other PBS kids shows of the '70's. I remember that episode of Spiderman. Owned by Paramount? News to me; I'd thought The Electric Company was owned by the Children's Television Workshop.

IIRC the "Electric Co." was a CTW production (with Spidey there as a courtesy of Marvel Comics)...

If anyone should be suing, it's the Powerpuff Girls folks---given how much "Teamo" comes off as a lame imitation of that program's style ;-) ("Teamo" answering to their state's governor vs. the PPGs' to the mayor of Townsville comes to my mind as one example...). Won't go into the use in every episode I'd seen of that same recycled-stock-footage being used to show the kids changing into their "Teamo" disguises, or the one-year-old-baby-talk-esque "battle cries" the kids utter...

They report to a governor? They have crap costume-changing sequences? You're really not encouraging me to see this show, y'know. Then again, I have the feeling I'm not missing much.

True, and true (to both questions). As for encouraging, probably more of a "fair warning" than "encouragement" ;-)

Hopes to see "Spider-Man" tomorrow morning, assuming the "official Star Wars convention"-attendees/etc. haven't made both early showings sold out...
