Who won the FIFA World Cup ITTL?
The Summer of 2006 in the United States would be a celeberated time period. Over in early July, the "Equal Marriage and Rites Act" would be finished and proposed over fr Congress to sign. It would legalize same-sex marriage across the totality of the United States, granting the same level of privileges and duties over one already sees in different sex marriages. Given its rising acceptance over in the populace, the Clinton Administration thought it was time to go and do so. While there was a couple of stumbling blocks, namely in some of the minute details or wordings, the whole thing was a generally smooth progress. It helped that it has been a couple decades since the SATMIN+ civil rights program helped lay the groundwork over for it back since the 1980s along with growing cultural acceptance thanks to the efforts of various outreach groups and the mainstream media. One cornerstone was Disney's Story of Seadogs in 2000, it being the first Disney theatical animated film with a samgen couple on screen as the main focus with a followup being over in A Few Good Ghosts with the romance of Ellis and Rose being a significant plot element. And of course, with Canada legalizing same-sex marriage, the US felt that the could no longer dilly-dally on the situation. Ultimately, from a good chunk of support from all parties, the bill would be passed in late July, leading to a massive celeberations across the entire nation and sending a bit of a shockwave across the western world. And even among the US's more... culturally conservative allies, there would be a growing need for them to address it in their own right. Latin America would definitely be more than a bit surprised and influenced here while the Middle East was caught in an uncomfortable spot. Ultimately, while the US would not be necessarily pressuring their allies, there was the fact that saying anything particularly negative would likely not go well. That said, others were looking to civil unions as a potential compromise in that regard.
Meanwhile, international events also caught the public's attention. One major news was over in southern Europe. After a referendum back in late Spring, Montenegro declares its independence and thus spell the end for the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro as Montenegero becomes a sovereign nation. [1] With the long union between the two nations ended, this left Serbia more or less the successor for the former Yugoslavia. While relations have slowly been improving between them and their neighbors, it was still rather frosty. And more than a few analysts predicted that Serbia would likely gravitate toward the Sovereign Union's sphere of influence before long. Another fascinating development, if in a smaller scale, would be the official beginning of operations of the the Qinghai–Tibet railway, with Tibet being the final province-level entity of China to establish a conventional railway. While they considered postponing the beginning to allow for full electrification, China decided to open it first to ensure everything would be operating smoothly though it has also been expected they will beginelectrify the line upon the completion of further power plants. Though speaking of infrastucture improvement, more of them would be planned out for Nathu La. A mountain pass between India and China, it was sealed up due to the Sino-Indian War and would reopen up over back in 2004. While this allowed for an alternative route to the pilgrimage of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar, and bolstering the economy of the region thanks to its role in the growing Sino-Indian trade, it was a modest boost. Some have predicted this due to weather conditions and geography though this year would see both nations begin working more on roads and rail routes to boost the trade between them here. [2]
Of course, not everything was pleasant news unfortunately. Sixty-one female students would be killed by Sri Lankan Air Force in an air strike as part of the ongoing civil war there. [1] The incident would be condemned by the media and even a couple of the major powers were debating on whether to get futher involved. While the neighboring Khalistan, Bangladesh and India have been taking in refugees and displaced people, China and even the US have begun stepping up their efforts in further aid and even in taking in some people. Despite this though, people continue soldiering on over with life and taking comfort in what they can. The 2006 FIFA World Cup would occur over in Germany of this year while Pluto would end up being declassified as a planet. This is due to the International Astronomical Union defining the condition over of 'planet' at its 26th General Assembly. This would result over in Pluto being reclassified it as a dwarf planet 76 years after its discovery. [1]

America's Funniest President: Mo Udall Presidency & Beyond
- Thread starter CountDVB
- Start date
Hmmm... probably Italy, same at OTL. I'm not much over into futbol, but I do remembering the smiling pictues of that year's FIFA icon, hence why I used that.
Meanwhile, yeah USA now one of the first nations over for same-sex marriage. Given how Canada did theirs in 2005, which is the same as OTL, I think this isn't too crazy, especially with the cultural changes and so on here.
Autumn 2006- Finality of Ford
It is now midterm season over for 2006. From the first observations, it would be looking like the Federalist Party would maintain its growth and finish cementing itself as a major party. This would especially be the case as their ideas have begun solidfying in the mainstream, becoming increasingly accepted as part of the norm and it would be a matter of seeing how it changes people and how it evolves. After all, it was the new conservative party of the US and was to show that the tenets of conservatism were still valuable yet also adaptable to the changing times, thus being timeless and necessary. Despite that, the Unizens were still maintaining a pretty good grip on the public consciousness, especially since they were still working on some pretty fascinating reforms. Indeed, one majo development is the Clinton Administration taking up the proposal for Washington DC statehood for Congress. After all, the movement was still prominent and DC deserves their own reputation. In fact, despite the plans regarding the federal district, a solution was already present in what to do, that being just shrink the federal district. It has been done before, namely with what was Alexandria retrocessing back to Virgina, if for differing reasons. This has also raised the possibility of Arlington and parts of Alexandria potentially rejoining this possible new state. While it is unknown the actual chances of this, the Clinton Administration's openness for statehood has revived interest in Puerto Rico over as a state. While the movement has been somewhat slow and sluggish, the fact the new administration has shown seriousness to it, has granted some new energy into it.
Beyond the election, there was some fascinating tech news as well. Google would announce plans to buy YouTube, something that has surprised a few number of people. [1] The news came about since it would allow YouTube to truly grow and thrive, though there was a bit of the concerns on the rammifications. That said, it was looking like everything would go smoothly there. And already, the fact that YouTube got that attention meant that some other video sharing websites could be getting some attention. One that came out recently was Veoh and while it was modest, it was growing and had plenty of potential. A few companies were already eyeing it for potential cooperation or even to try and acquire it. As for some other technological news, this included fascinating bits such as how NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft would make its first flyby of Venus and the release of MSN Office 2007, once more further pushing the gold standard of office-related software. [2] Though speaking internet news, autumn 2006 would also be a large event for tech as many tech start-ups, famous small companies and giants would be invited over to the capital as a form of meeting ground. The idea of Vice President Gore, he saw it a way for the politicians to better understand the short and long term trends that would be developing with technology, especially its rammifications in security and the like. It also served as a place where reps from a bunch of companies would and interact with one another. Interactions included things from Artistshare/Napster with Myspace along with other interactions and companies such as Sun Microsystems, NeXTech, Microsoft and MSN Software along with various others here.
Other news involved something interesting over regarding television, such as the creation of the new CW network, born after some differing arrangements and the like. [1] One rammification would be the end of Kids WB, with much of the programming and content instead heading for MetroKids. Though speaking of television, one news would be major regarding a famous television icon. Steve Irwin would be rushed over to the hospital after being stung by a sting-ray though miraculously he would survive. [1] Irwin was grateful for the massive amounts of support for him and his family. Steve also noted he would likely be taking some time off to recover physically and mentally with someone noted that the near-death incident likely was causing Irwin to reflect more on safety precautions. However, this would not be the only news regarding death. After Thanksgiving, it would be announced the tragic passing of former President Gerald Ford. [1] Passing away at the age of 93, Ford was the one who would be forced to handle the reigns of presidency after Watergate and ending up losing reelection to President Reagan. This has led to more than a few counterfactual writers and thinkers to ponder if Ford beat Reagan, though most have concluded Ford would not have acted too dissimilarly from Reagan. Ultimately, Ford would be mourned over in passing as another US president passes away.

Dang.....................
What will replace Kids' WB?
Maybe Kids' CW?
Oh, and does 4Kids exist at this point? If so, what is they dubbing?
Well, IOTL, it became this: The CW4Kids
Here, alot of the programming heads to MetroKids, since it does have a bit of a reputation where older shows go and it's likely MetroKids already uses its preexisting connections to have a deal with 4Kids, which is still around.
So basically, MetroKids has little to no new shows and the new shows are all on MetroFamily?
What is Kids' WB's replacement?
Does the newer stuff air on The CW?
MetroKids is TTL's FoxKids more or less and later Foxbox. While it does have some orignal content such as some animated Star Wars shows and things like American Dragon Jake Long, they were the ones willing to pick up alot of older shows for reruns in the early years. It helps give them some additional longetivity and new life to the shows and helps MetroKids remain relevant as they flesh out more and more original programming.
Ok..............
I do have ideas for eventual originals for MetroKids.
And when will the SatAM blocks be discontinued?
But that still doesn't explain what airs on The CW in Kids' WB's place.....
Don't worry, I have plans over for MetroKids. They're kept a float by a mix of things like older obscure cartoons, some original cartoons that would've appeared elsewhere in OTL, Power Rangers, the Star Wars cartoons and so on. Given thei
And well, probably older stuff or something. Depends. Perhaps Looney Tunes?
Well, I could help you......

2006 Overview
2006 Overview
2006 would be another relatively quiet year over for most nations. With most of the world having quieted down, there was a sense of focusing on domestic issues along with the broader problems that required international cooperation. As President Clinton was looking on with the latter half of his second and final term, he was perhaps feeling more compelled now to be more ambitious with his goals. Of course, with how stable everything was economically and politically, said changes would perhaps need to be more unothodox and unexpected. This push for ambition and accomplishment was a partial explanation for the Clinton Administration's push for legalizing same-sex marriage across the nation, especially as more and more states were pushing for it or have done so. Even the states with little plan to do it justified it on the basis that it would become federal law at some point, why not just wait? Regardless, it was quite a political milestone that was mostly warm-received. However, there was still the unfortunate case of certain reactionary groups or individuals who protested the developments though they were considered on the fringe for the most part. While there was some protests and the like, there was nothing majorly violent that occurred though it did serve as an unfortunate reminder that not everyone would be pleased by these developments in society and that it has to be up to everyday peple to keep helping to make things better.
Internationally, there was still some concerning conflicts, such as the Sri Lankan Civil War though there was still plenty to be optimistic about. The Koreas, while having to push back their planned date of reunification, only did so to ensure they were being thorough about this. They still went ahead to further integrate their economies together while also working on having a unified foreign policy. This in turn influenced their neighbor as China went to work more on repairing relations over with South Korea; while Sino-American relations were positive, China would still prefer having a unified Korea in their sphere. Additionally, North Korea would also further implement their planned democratic reforms, which would see Pyong-li be reelected over into his office as North Korea's leader, now being formally called the President. All the while, other places in the world were pulling themselves out of the troubles of the past or finishing them off. All the while dealing with the massively growing world wide web and its adoption by a gowing majority of the population and the social changes that come about from such a phenomenon.
Regarding pop culture, there was plenty of family-aimed classics along with suprising hits, though one of the big bit of news would be the acquisition of MGM by Turner Broadcasting, which intrigued more than a few folk. Regarding movies, Night At The Museum would turn out to be quite a surprisingly fun hit with various historical references and comedy. Another surprising one would be The Da Vinci Code, a rather conspiratorial story and based off the book of the same name by Dan Brown. Meanwhile, Mission Impossible III would finish with quite an enjoyable end to the trilogy though some have questioned if the series would continue. Some have noted that spy thrillers and the like would be difficult to do in the current day and age because of the near-tranquility of the world and would require more consideration in the setting. And of course, one big hit would be The Pursuit of Happyness. A biographical drama film where Will Smith plays Chris Gardner and would be considered a fairly popular and insightful film, especially given how it didn't seem like much other films were going on. Sure there were a growing number of dramedies and the like, but nothing that really caught the public, at least compared to other films. That said, superhero films were still being quite a blast to enjoy. First was Superman Begins, a more grounded but still wonderful. The film was heavily based on the comic mini-series "Superman: Birthright" by Mark Waid, with the film's purpose also being to intoduce Superman and his supporting cast over to the modern day and to provide a modern yet timeless portrayal over of the Man of Tomorrow for everyone to enjoy. And then there was X-Men: The Last Stand, which was another finishing and triumphant end to a trilogy.
With animated films, the big hit would be The Animatrix. A collection of animated short films that served as a prequel/sidequel to The Matrix trilogy, it would gain a surprising popularity for the various artstyles and stories told that fleshed the story more. Beyond this one and a couple other sleeper hits, it was still dominated over by family-focused animation. Disney would release two films out. The first would be another project of Pixar in Cars, which would be considered a bit of a hit or miss film by some though the Americana sentiment of the film and for old school racing did have its fans. The second film would be quite a surprise over with Tam Lin. An adaptation of the legendary Scottish ballad, this was a passion project of Roy Disney and rumor had it that there was conflict between him and Eisner over the film and some general stuff before cooler heads prevailed and Eisner even apologized. Telling the story of a spirited Scottish maiden in Margaret, she must brave the forests of Karterhough in order to save her beloved Tam Lin from being a sacrifice and thus she ends up in the strange world of fairies. Managing a surprise balance between the classical spookiness of the fair folk with some glorious hand-drawn animation and Disney charm (and even CGI to render the monstrous villain), the film would become another fun hit, with the Scottish in particular being big fans of how much of the folklore contained along with a couple of more modern jokes. The films contained trailers for upcoming films, such as a third and final Atlantis film (with some noting likely being inspired by the success of trilogies) and apparently a new Disney project seemingly based off of Iranian folklore.
Dreamworks meanwhile would release the third of their Monkey Island trilogy over with Dreamworks' The Curse of Monkey Island and still serving as a fun hand-drawn animated film and would still be plenty of fun. It would also serve to help promote the upcoming remasters of the games and would even come with a Monkey Island television series, that being Tales of Monkey Island. It would be Dreamworks' second major television show, airing over on MetroKids, following up on helping to make the Star Wars prequel television series, Star Wars: Last Days of Peace and followed up by a new show in development. This added to further rumors regarding the triple cooperation of MetroCen, Dreamworks and LucasArts (and their parent company in LucasFilms) There was also the Dragon's Lair animated film that would be released later in the year. It was over in 3D CGI though being cel-shaded to try and add a bit more charm to it. While it contained a similar level of risque humor as its source material, it was still toned down a bit for modesty along with having more serious moments too to add a level of groundedness to it. It also came with a trailer for Shrek 3, the third film in the Shrek saga. Dreamworks were continuing their successes and plans to expand and broaden their projects. In fact, they have been in growing talks with MetroCentury, leading to some growing rumors that Dreamworks Animation would be purchased over by MetroCentury for the company to be able to keep expanding. After all, they turned down to buy Blue Sky Studios, instead it being acquired by Universal Studios instead a little while back. Speaking of Blue Sky, they would also release Ice Age: The Meltdown, a sequel to their strange yet beloved popular smash hit. Though this would not be the only film of frozen fun, given also how Happy Feet would come out.
In television, a fair number of notable shows were ending. Arrested Development and The FBI Files were some of the bigger surprises, but of course Soul Train was the biggest surprise of it. So much so that attempts to revive the show pretty much began the moment people began getting organized to figure out how to get the 35 year old show back on the air. Other major shows that ended were That '70s Show, The West Wing, Will & Grace and Alias, all of which were rather prominent shows and people were wondering what could fill them in. Regarding animated shows, there were some painful cancellations such as W.I.T.C.H. and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, but the big one would be Justice League Unlimited, as it would symbolize the end of the Timm-Dini shared universe that had come to define DC superheroes for the modern generation. Interestingly, Teen Titans would be spared cancellation, as they'd get one final season in the last minute though Murakami and his team were also in the works for a new show on Nick. Other shows that would be saved at the last minute would be Invader Zim and The Fairly Oddparents, though the former would take a hiatus due to the awkwardness and renegotiations. For new shows, it would be some gems such as Psych, Heroes and America's Got Talent coming out along with 30 Rock and Rob & Big along with some new branches with sports and the like. As for animation, well, the bigger names included Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Yin Yang Yo, Class of 3000 and Marvel creating a new Fantastic Four animated series that some have speculated that it would be part of Marvel trying to do their own version of what DC did with Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. Toonami would see a few new shows such asYu-Gi-Oh! GX and MÄR along with more in Disnippon, such as Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. For adult animation, the big news would be the new project worked on by Seth McFarlene, Matt Stone and Trey Parker in adult animation. While loosely inspired by Futurama, the show is a mix of the three's personal likes such as Seth's love of Ratpack music and science fiction with Stone and Parker's love of Pythonesque humor and strangeness along with the three's love of musical theater created a strange new show in American Alien. Taking place in the late 1950s, it stars a group of aliens known as the Grays (specifcially, the Grays from Roswell) trying to blend into human society and the shannigans coming as a result, especially in interacting with their human neighbors in the city. While definitely satirical in humor given its creators, it was a fair bit more serious in addressing issues and exploring themes. Stone and Parker enjoy doing all sorts of voices and the show also has more than a few musical pieces (which is considered part of the aliens' culture). Overall, the show was looking to be quite a fascinating and enjoyable hit.
Video games would see this year be the final year for the sixth generation of video game consoles. The Nintendo Gamecube, the Sony Playstation 2 and the Microsoft Abox are all approach their twilight and despite this, the three consoles would continue to rocket on with success to stick the landing. With Nintendo, they're still riding high on the success of Legend of Hyrule: Twilight Princess along with some other successful game such as Baten Kaitos Origins, Star Fox Command, Wario World 2, Viewtiful Joe 3, Metroid Prime Hunters and a couple other exclusives. The Playstation 2 meanwhile would see a few more titles such as Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Bully, Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories and most of all, Kingdom Hearts II. A sequel to the massively popular first game, the second game sees the inclusion of more characters and worlds such as Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet(both the first and its sequel), A Few Good Ghosts and even Tam Lin thanks to some good work along with expanding other works, such as elements of the sequel for Atlantis. As for the Abox, would have a bit more with original titles, such as Swordquest Neo: Way of Waterworld. As for other games, some were across the consoles with some surprises such as Star Wars: Battlefront II. The biggest one would be none other than Sonic Revolution, a game that came out for the 15th anniversary of the franchise. Having scrapped a Shadow the Hedgehog game (with elements seen in Shadow's playthrough) and shelved another game, this game got plenty of attention and refinement, especially to balance out the ambitions. Playing as either Sonic, Shadow or new character Silver, the game sees you go in past, present and future with an intense story if a bit convoluted, especially as how it all balances out. It does give some further closure to Shadow's story along with seeing the three hedgehogs save the world. The game does mark a transition point given this would be the final game of Yuji Naka on the Sonic franchise. However, he is given a fond fairwell as the others move forward. Next year would see the planned release of the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3 and the Microsoft Abox 360.
Beyond the consoles, handhelds were receiving a fair bit of attention too. The Super GamePal would still have some life in it with games like Mega Man Battle Network 6, Drill Dozer and Final Fantasy V, even with the introduction of it successor. There was also the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series, which had a SGP and a GPDS version (with special conenctivity features between each). As for the GamePal DS, it would emerge over in starting out with some strong competition against the PSP. The GamePal DS would catch the attention, given its introduction of a touchscreen and stylus, along with more potency behind it. It would start out with a strong line of launch titles such as Super Mario Bros DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Sonic Rush, Mario Kart DS, WarioWare: Touched!, Kirby: Canvas Curse with some upcoming new games (that released in Japan) being Yoshi's Island DS, Kirby: Squeak Squad and the newest generation of Pokemon in Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver, taking place in Sinnoh and focusing on time and space, with the former having the golden sands of time inspired Dialga and the latter the silver starred Palkia as their legendaries. Another would be a sequel series to the Cyberknight Ziro series over with Cyberknight Legacy. Set centuries after the events of the Cyberknight tetralogy, it sees a world where androids and humans have practically become one thanks to nanotechnology though said peace is theatened and the plot involves the strange biometals. The PSP meanwhile would continue to grow with Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, Mega Man Powered Up, Monster Hunter Freedom, Bomberman PSP and Power Stone Collection. As for PCs, there were Star Wars: Empire at War, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Guild Wars: Factions and perhaps most importantly of all, Garry's Mod.

Politico Info: The Federalist Party
Abbreviation: The NuFeds
Founded: 2001
Preceded by: The Republican Party, The Federalist Party (1789)
Governing Body: The Federalists National Committee
Student Wing: College Federalists of America
Youth Wing: Young Federalists of America
Women's Wing: National Union of Federalist Women
Overseas Wing: The Global Union of American Federalists
Ideology: Neoclassical conservatism, Christian democracy
Political position: Centre-right to right.
International affiliation: International Democrat Union, Christian Democrat Organization of America (observer status)
Colors: Noble blue
Party Facts:
- The Federalist Party was named and inspired by the original Federalist Party of 1789, America's first political party. As such, it's considered a modern continuation of said party. To distinguish it from its predecessor, it is often called the New Federalist Party or NuFeds.
- The party was founded to succeed the Republican Party as the main American conservative party. The motivation of its founding is rooted in moving on the damaged brand of the GOP along with the desire to return to the fundamentals of conservatism while updating it for the 21st century for a fresh start.
- The mascot of the UCP is a bear, specifcially the glacier bear. A sub-species of the American black bear known for its bluish hue, it was suggested by Senator Lisa Murkowski since it was from her home state of Alaska. Murkowski was one of the first senators of the NuFeds and she chose it for its strength and nobility.
- The "noble blue" associated with the party was chosen from inspiration from said glacier bears and to invoke a sense of dignitas.
- The party began growing throughout the 2000s as the Republican Party faded away and because of its fresh new face and modern presence, it was able to draw in conservatives of color and of other minorities since they felt excluded there compared to the GOP.
- Considered the first political party associated with neoclassical conservatism.
- Because of the prominent influence of Christian democracy in its development, the party is also semi-officially considered a Christian democratic one. That said, they shy away from the label, with some noting it's likely out of the humanist backgrounds of the Founding Fathers.
- NuFeds often cite past American politicians regarding their stances and influences, most notably John Adams, especially for him never having slaves along with some of his philosophy, such as theistic rationalism along with believing that one of America's greatest danger was the rise of plutocratic oligarchs and thus political institutions, including a strong executive branch, would be needed to reign them in.
- They tend to have someone protectionist economic stances, though their focus is more on checking the power of big companies. They cite Theodore Roosevelt as another large inspiration for this and the need to deal with companies when they become a concern.
- Certain Republicans such as Arlen Specter, Colin Powell and John B. Anderson are considered honorary members of the party, despite their retirement from politics. The two have given their praises and blessings over to the party.
- They are relatively liberal socially, though the situation is more complicated. With neoclassical conservative thought, they see societal progress and advancement of civil rights not as a bad thing, but as part of the natural progress and growth, just needed to be tempered with moderation and order.
- In fact, they cite the GOP's downfall due to a failure to maintain this pace of progress adequately and even in leaning to reactionary sentiment. To the neotrads, society needs to be nurtured, regulated and maintained like any stucture to remain viable at what they see is a reasonable pace.
- They are growing increasingly popular with immigrants from nations with long histories of conservative-leaning tradition such as the Middle East. Being aware of this allows them to focus on them and help built a network of new voters. This also means they have a moderate stance on immigration.
- The party targets primarily the upper middle class and old money along with the aforementioned immigrants as well as some in the rural and working classes. Its voter base are those who value order, moderation, tradition and patriotism (not the same as jingoism.) They also have been appealing more to white collar folk.
- Foreign policy is mixed though many of them have expessed a bit of hawkishness to them. That said, they note they are more than happy to enjoy the global peace and not rock the boat, though would respond if them and their allies are in danger.
- When it comes to international economics, they're more even-handed since it is more difficult to deal international companies not rooted in the USA though that said, a wing of them are bigger proponents of involvement, believing that America needs to set a proper example.
- Despite being a conservative party, they have various views that sometimes align them with their more leftist colleagues. Their agrarian focus means they can often work with the Green Party on environmental issues and have done so on local levels. They are also staunch proponents of public media such as PBS and NPR, viewing them as impotant counterweights to corporate media and thus plan to increase budgets with them, something that those on the left agree with.
- On other issues, they are rather nuanced. While supportive of gun rights, they also view it as a responsability that the culture needs to be shaped to handle it properly. As such, they approach gun ownership with modest regulation though one major exception is regarding the illegal exportation of firearms. They view illegal firearm trafficking as a concern for violence regarding their neighors.
- Culturally, regarding matters such as same-sex marriage and general LGBTQ+ matters, they have a general view of acceptance. At the same time, they hope to also combine with conservative sentiment through expressions such as traditional courtship and the like.
- Prominent politicians in the party include: Lisa Murkowski, Olympia Snowe, Bill Weld, Christine Temple Whitman, Lincoln Chafee.

Nice.
So Eisner still works at Disney? Now what happens to Pixar?
I ask because of this?
Cool!
So what's Universal's plans with Blue Sky and what's gonna happen to Illumination? Maybe Paramount or WB could get them.
And what's Monkey Island?
Ah........
Dang.
Nice.
What's this new show for Nick?
Figured.
But I'm surprised Zim's coming back this late..................
Ok.
Nice. Where would F4 air?
Cool. Would MAR fare better ITTL?
And where did Yu-Gi-Oh! air ITTL?
Nice pleasent surprise.
I'd love to learn more about American Alien......
Cool!
Can't wait to hear more about the Wii, PS3 and the ANX.
But why is the console renamed as the ANX rather than the 360?
Nice!
So would GMOD still become popular as it was IOTL?
Ok. I wasn't sure that was still active.

ITTL, Eisner doesn't turn heel because he's got people to rein him in and keep him in check (especially witout the helicopter crash) . So Disney still purchases Pixar more or less like OTL.
Well, you'll have to wait and see. And here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Island
You'll see.
I mean, it's just more letting them finish up, but the extra time off would lead to some thinking.
On one of Nick's channels.
MAR probably and Yu-Gi-Oh probably now on MetroKids.
May create a thread at some point about that.

Yup and probably a bit more so as the Internet community is increasingly diverse.
Yeah it still is. Good for feed back or asking questions.
