Music? On MTV? That's just crazy!!

There's probably an obvious joke in there for another TV channel but I don't wanna just default the obvious one (something about a network of cartoons) so I'll just leave this post open ended. Someone do the work for me...
Today in unrelated news: Paramount Skydance is looking to revamp MTV with the help of the music industry, asking several companies and industry figures about acquiring a stake in the network.

well Paramout Skydance shutdown a few international MTV channels alongside with Nick Music...
I do hope they go back to what MTV is supposed to stand for MUSIC TELEVISION, at least in Japan they still air music videos on MTV, but I just hope this doesn't go wrong.

A lot of mixed messaging resulting from that has led a lot of people to believe MTV actually DIED... so no better time than now to actually "revive" the brand, as Bloomberg put it.

Comes just days after Paramount Skydance slit MTV's current musical ambitions in the throat, axing music video blocks and 24/7 music networks in all regions except America, Japan, Israel, Taiwan, and India (licensing costs to blame). It ruined the best MTV station, MTV Germany.

Paramount wants to recast MTV as "more than just a cable network", with a focus more on, shockingly, music. Skydance thinks the music programming could bolster Paramount+.

Worth remembering that in 1952, Chaplin - for 40 years maybe the most famous man in the world - had his visa revoked as he sailed for Europe. J. Edgar Hoover didn't like that he was a vaguely left-wing pacifist who slept around. He never really got over it. His creativity didn't.
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Morticia Addams 2026.

"Fanatics DYING to me, how gleefully morbid."

Tish won the character of the month for January, so here's my new take on her.

All that said... when Casey Kasem does a voice similar to another character on an episode, it does get a bit confusing.

You ask if that's Robin or the villain/villainous sidekick of the week?

You could literally have your back turned and doing other things while the action is happening in full detail thanks to the dialogues in the series.

It's essentially "animated radio."

Ironically, a lot of modern shows are doing this practice more and more.

They call it "background TV" now.

One thing I appreciate about Superfriends that often gets mocked for (and awesomely so along with other Hanna-Barbera heroes by a Cartoon Network spot decades ago when the channel was cool like that) is that they're essentially shows that you could listen to & know everything that's going on.

Support independent journalism.
We had months of the media positing/discussing/suggesting/debating whether or not the previous President, a Democrat, was fit for office or should resign. The coverage was loud and persistent from center, left and right and only ceded when Biden announced he wouldn’t not run for re-election.

Find a good movie to watch, or read a good book for a couple of hours.
Doom scrolling is something else right now.

2026 just got real.
The fight against fascism is here, right now.
Take a break every now and then.
It is going to be a long year.

I mean this sound doomed the moment we heard Disney were allegedly making it about OCs and not actually about Blade.

Mine came in the mail today. It'll probably be the last McFarlane DC figure I'll get (unless they somehow pull off a Vixen or Hardware before the license runs out in the middle of the year), but it's nice to see a Static that feels authentic and true to his OG comics self standing on a shelf.
Bruh... McFarlane Toys finally did it.

They've made a @denyscowan.bsky.social version of Static that looks like the OG character and not his New 52 take. Malcolm X hat and all.

What a neat bookend to a year that also had an Icon figure based on his modern incarnation at the beginning of the year.

Yeah, I'm thinking its shorter run might harm that series in streaming. It's a factor why it hasn't been rerun in decades as well.

Like, I know the Disney stuff is on the way, and I have thirty-ish years of back catalog I can always go to, plus hundreds of comics and all.

I miss the low-budget, "we bought a Japanese show and remixed it" franchise.

As a hobbyist PR shittalker, yeah I totally feel this. Even when the series was at its worst, the guessing game was always interesting, especially when they had to be more picky with what seasons they could choose

To this day I still think about how they'd try to adapt Zenkaiger or Donbrothers

I don't think Ricochet Rabbit would have made it in for the same S&P reasons they can't call Quickdraw anything other than El Kabong

But yeah the Impossibles and Penelope not making it is disappointing

Personally I also wanted to see Brak interact with the Top Cat gang
Since Jellystone was canceled after its third season due to the crossover with Cartoon Network characters, this means those characters will never appear in the series, as there will never be a fourth season. #jellystone #hannabarbera
