In the pile of things we could've had, I present to you a promo to a Captain America cartoon that never got made, but would've been in the same universe as the 90s X-Men cartoon.

On the less awesome side of the never-made Saban coin, here's their Americanized version of Sailor Moon.
>tfw your adaptation is so bad it causes your test audience to laugh hysterically

This one was kind of troubled. It was going to be set during World War II, but they weren't going to call the enemy Nazis - and that meant no swastikas either. Then Marvel started having financial problems and the show had to be canceled.

The crew did Secret Files of the Spy Dogs instead.

Saban didn't actually make this. People just called it that because it felt like some hack attempt to cash on Power Rangers.

Hard disagree.

Bravo has been one of the most consistently acknowledged figures of CN, beating out other classics like Courage, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, and Cow & Chicken.

Hell, he was on the company's welcoming card to Genndy after their development deal this month.

Look at Jack piggybacking off of him like he's a steed. That's funny but not as funny as them including Spear! Him wedged between all the bright round cartoons is hilarious.

This era was filled with a whole bunch of what could have beens for super hero cartoons; around this time there was also plans for animated Ghost Rider, Shazam, Daredevil and adaptions of Youngblood and Cyberforce. And of course all the Marvel cartoons that were cancelled too early; what I wouldn’t give to see Silver Surfer to its completion.

Thinking of what Poland has done with putting their films online, it's nice when they acknowledge and respect their history, instead of throwing it away. Reminded myself of this short film from Bulgaria I used to see on Nickelodeon's Pinwheel series 40 years ago. Don't know if that country has anything like that set up. but certainly something that needs attention.

Cable existed in the 70's?

It's been around since the '50s (actually earlier but not commercially).

He is on HBO Max. If you live in South America, which for some reason has all the CN shows they won't put on streaming here.

Developing countries often get deals on American IP not available to Americans.

It seems as if South America isn't as pozzed as the states. I was on a cruise a few years ago and they had Tooncast, which is the SA version of Boomerang.

They showed old toons unedited without any bullshit warnings that shame you for enjoying them.

Blackface gags and all? Because CN never aired blackface gags back in the day.

It basically began as a way for rural and out-of-nowhere places to receive local stations that weren't easy to pick up with regular antennas, often due to mountains or other obstacles. These were usually called "Community Antenna" services. My city got this service in the mid 60's.

Cable TV as we knew later sprang from this in the 70's when satellite broadcasting opened up the floodgate and legitimize the operation.

No wonder the media still seethes about rural areas, the farmers were getting access to their backend systems for decades in advance just out of necessity while the cities were a war of antennas topping other antennas.

"The rural areas aren't suffering, while we are, and that's just not fair! They should be feeling the pain everyone else feels!" - the media since forever
