I probably should have put out a #projectmtv guide yesterday, but considering I queued a lot of pages with no idea of the link parameters at the time, I couldn't.

So, a page with each section linked.

The playlist is also embedded there. It's a lot.

Post from x account gooseymane that reads "can somebody explain to me why it's bad if immigrants take our jobs but it's good if a.i. does?"

Fine.

Fine.

A saner lineup with a lot of international flavors.

You'd never see this kind of a lineup on Kids' WB within a two-hour span. But wouldn't it be cool if you could?

A "saner" Kids' WB lineup using a KWB 1999 schedule format. A little more adventurous with Craig of the Creek, Monster Beach, One Piece, and Iyanu. Something like this would never happen. It's way too international with an American series, an Australian series, a Japanese series, and a series centered around Nigerian folklore and mythology.

Just messing around, being silly and bored, and just creating a bit of diversity here. Plus, cashing in on one of the summer's biggest movies and pairing the two shows with one of the biggest franchises in the world would scream big ratings.

Bue it is not sane at all.

Jeff Harris @nemalki.bsky.social · 3h

Yeah, ain't it cool?

Jeff Harris @nemalki.bsky.social · 3h

Same lineup, just tweaked the colors and no static and scanlines.

Hey, look, it's a weird Kids' WB lineup with Krypto, My Adventures with Superman, One Piece, and The Bugs Bunny Show

Jeff Harris @nemalki.bsky.social · 3h

Don't worry about it.

Jeff Harris @nemalki.bsky.social · 3h

Just... something I messed around with.

Because I was a little bored tonight.

There's no template. Just flexing my graphic design muscles. Just ticked I couldn't find a similar typeface to what was originally used, so I worked with what I had installed.

The two 2-hr long Martin blocks are definitely new, but everything looks intact to me.

You know how I always praise the awesomeness that is Dodo?

Here's an episode proving how much of a "British Doug" this show really is. And it's quite timely for the spooky season to boot.

Straight from the official channel, episode five - "Pickled Onion."

I think he largely retired from making templates because he got inundated with requests.

Also, this is his career, and time = money, and a brother's gotta eat.

Well, the Administration hates NBC largely because of the NBC News division (which Comcast is still keeping) and its late-night programming, largely Late Night with Seth Meyers, which has been a vocal critic of the Administration, even to the point of threatening to revoke its broadcast license.

Jeff Harris @nemalki.bsky.social · 9h

Ah, image campaigns, bumpers & network continuity. Essentially, creative elements that unify the programs under one brand often combined with soundtracks. mnemonics & announcers, each one creating the visual language & identity of a network or a network block.

A lost art thanks to streaming media.

Semi-related, but these 'campaign' posts make me wish there was a Sept. 1999 - Sept. 2000 Kids' WB-themed one, where one could just edit their own shows into the... "on-air bugs"?🤨

Not sure if I'm using the terminology right here.🤔

Basically, I'm talking about THESE.

Every TNG commercial break begins with this title card and a fanfare. I had completely forgotten it existed, but now every time I see it, it's like unlocking secret mysteries in my brain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZq0...

I dig this refined retroactivity.

I could almost hear the mnemonic from the old-school ABC Yellow campaign looking at this.
