I own DuMont.

It is the 1980s. The network's Philadelphia affiliate, WDPH channel 12, is actually based out of nearby Wilmington, Delaware. For years they have tried to get their city of license moved to Philadelphia to be on par with KYW, WPVI and WCAU. Since it is the only commercial station in town, these attempts have been blocked by local groups.

The network's ratings are low in Philly, due to most of the market not being interested in the station's focus on Delaware.

Oh, and the network owns stations in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC and Pittsburgh.

Monopoly?

I only own DuMont in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and early 80s, NBC in the 80s, 90s and 2000s, and ABC in the 2010s.

So where's CBS in all this?

Probably getting bought by Ted Turner, of course.

Consider the title: Your King and His Child. Not just any king, your king. A direct address to the audience. This is your king, people. Are you going to sit passively and let this Cloudcuckoolander Bumbling Dad rule over you? Clearly it's an incitement to revolution. This is subversive. This is True Art.

Go to Sam's Club and buy in bulk. The 20-packs should cover you.

But that would involve giving money to Wal-Mart, who's yanked their advertising from all my broadcast outlets.

I just came up with the most ridiculous idea:

"Yo dawg, I heard you like Buffalo buffalo, so we put Buffalo buffalo in your Buffalo buffalo so you can buffalo Buffalo buffalo while your Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

Inspired by this.

A "proper" translation would basically read Yo dawg, I heard you like Bison from Buffalo, so we put more bison from Buffalo in your existing herd of bison from Buffalo so you can bully bison from Buffalo while your herd of bison from Buffalo bullies other bison from Buffalo. grin

^ Yes.

Win.

^^ No, unless your idea of moral decadence involves saying "cool story bro" to things, because that's what Baloon and fan represents to me.

My idea of moral decadence is, sadly, not very morally decadent. For example, it involves hanging out with attractive members of the opposite sex that I am actually romantically interested in and who are romantically interested in me, rather than hanging out with attractive members of the opposite sex that I'm not romantically interested in.

Well, that, or Jill.

Kill the current Ted Turner and wear his skin.

I doubt anyone will notice the difference.

But he'll be dead!

OH, HOLD ON.

In the 90s, the company that owns NBC (which by this point has the straightforward name of National Broadcasting Company, Inc.) will purchase Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears from Great American Broadcasting.

Well, he did do that. This would, unfortunately, probably prevent Cartoon Network from existing.

Oh wait, even further back. The 80s.

Buy MGM/UA. This is how Turner got most of its film and TV properties. In fact, if not for it, TNT, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies and Boomerang wouldn't exist.

I remember I never used to watch Captain Planet, for no reason other than I knew it was an Anvilicious Green Aesop kind of thing.

I didn't want my cartoons to preach to me.
