I don't have cartoon network, but I wish I did. It looks so much better then telatoon. But if Telatoon do'es only one thing right it's this: They know wich of their show's are popular. I'm sure that's why they put Foster's back on it's weekay time slot. Know the show is on seven days a week!
I think in five months when the first season dvd is released, they will hold a contest and also have a marathon run of Foster's. They are good with stuff like that.
And about Simpson. I don't think Fox keeps the show alive because of it's quality anymore. I think they just want to see how far they can push it and keep their name in the Guiness Book of Records. The Movie due in 2007 will let us know whether the show will keep declining in quality, or show an about-face and give us what the show is famouse for.
I found that if you remove the swearing and blood from the current seasons of the Simpsons, it's writing and humor just can't stand to many of the "kid" shows out there now. But I think the thing I hate most is how they made Homer a whiny jerk instead of the loveable oaf he used to be.
