It's in this episode that we find out that Jake's hobbies include horticulture (plants). One thing that I roleplayed, albeit briefly, on the mucks was an encounter between Razor and another character (TMNT Donatello) where Don asked Razor if his plants were perennials or evergreens. ;-) (Does it really matter in Megakat City?)

Probably not. I don't recall any episode that seemed to be in a different "season" than the rest. Perhaps the city is near the equator, so the weather doesn't vary that much. But then, according to the garage calendar, it's usually July, right? A few other things I noticed about that episode (Destructive Nature): The air conditioning system in the building was set very low, cold enough to freeze the plant creature. Does this suggest the Kats would be more comfortable in a cooler climate than MegaKat city? Manx was entertaining foriegn company representives, trying to convince them to come to his new building and MegaKat city. This suggests there are other cities on the planet. Do they have similar problems with super villians? When Callie hits him over the head, Razor says "Good thing they make us wear helmets." Who is the "us" that makes safety rules for the Swat Kats? Couple notes in general: Has anyone even SEEN the MegaKat City Police Department? The one that keeps putting up the "do not cross" yellow tapes with "M. C. P. D." on them. To whoever was looking for younger kats, watch the background of the Mayor's golf games. There are almost always a few kat kids of various ages standing around.

But that episode does answer a lot of things, and it also raises a lot of question. >and Cry >Turmoil, which I rate up with Metal Urgency and Katastrophe.

I think that the SwatKats already mention the reason on why they have to fight through out the whole episode. And I also think that in "Razor's Edge", their reason on why they have to fly was mention too. I liked "SwatKats Unplugged", it got a very amusing hangar scene, and it also proves that you don't need to have a long scene to make something good. >Mutation City was interesting, but again the animation was so >unbearable I can't watch it that often.

Nude cats, yes, nude kats, no (I speak out >of past trauma and excperiance) Watching nude cats is excusable, since that we consider that cats are animal here. Watching nude kats (Assuming that we talking about SWAT Kats's "kats" here.) can mean two things, one : Is excusable just as long that Scaredy Kat isn't too human-like (I forget the word, is it "anthromorphic"?), two : Not something that is in a public TV, since that if Scaredy Kat get too human-like and doesn't wear clothes, it will be a nude kat that doesn't wear clothes and will censored out. And I think that razor here once mention that someone is more human-like (Realistic.) on the second season animation, can you imagine what will happen if that particular character is naked?

BTW, I think that the reason on why he want to thank them, is because the whole thing is already unstopable by the Enforcer, and Feral take any help if the situation is really that uncontrolable by the Enforcer. ------------------------------------- Edo Andromedo email : macsonic@rad.net.id "They're everywhere!"

It's spelled out that way on public buildings, and I don't recall anyone on the show dropping the "city" part when saying it's name. The only place you tend to see MegaKat used alone is as part of private business names, not public ones. >What are they doing there anyway? kitten usualy doesn't hang around in a >golf course.

When you really look into Jake's character, you realize he probably wouldn't have made the decision to go into the enforcers by himself. He needed a bud to back him. In a coming-of-age story I actually am writing for English class, I explain my theories on their origins. Chance (in my little world) grew up on the streets as a rough- around-the-edges city kid, but moved to the suburbs and met Jake when he was probably into early teens. I imagine that Jake was probably more of a wimp and Chance was more of a bully when they first met, and their personalities sort of blended with eachother after a while. For English Class, of course, I simply won't bother to mention they're kats. To the teacher it'll look like 2 kids named Jake and Chance. If I edit it after it's completion and post it on the rat site, I'll make a few adjustments. Example: the word "hands" in the original version would become "paws" and so on. Just for the offical word, an Animato! article (that I have not seen myself) said they met up in enforcers, but since it was not mentioned on the show itself I consider the topic up for grabs.

Thanks for tellings me, though, so if I decide to kill 'im anyway I might not use that. The original point of killing off Chance was quite simply to get him out of the way (Chance fans don't read this!). When I get into the Abi/Jake relationship, he starts crowding the place. You realize that eventually they're going to get married, and well gosh darnit, I certainly don't think Abi can move in with them! I get Cally to take care of the "bill" so our guys can move out of the yard, which means Jake moves in with Abi, but where does Chance go? An apartment alone? HAHAHAHAHA. FUNNY. Uh uh. The easiest solution was to simply kill 'im, but I think I may have solved THAT problem in "Children of the Stone." Wait and see.

That happened in "Giant Bacteria". Another vehicle was the TurboMole, handy for those pesky collapsed mines. There is also a Cookie Cutter Missile, and there are extendable saw blades on top of the TurboKat, but I don't recall them calling them anything.

Sender: owner-kats@bort.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kats@bort.mv.net I'm about 40 messages behind in katmail because I've been tied up elsewhere for awhile. Some of us may have heard rumours to the effect that Hanna-Barbera is poised to disappear and be replaced by "Cartoon Network Animation". Well....sorta. One of the Turnerites said that "Cartoon Network Animation" will actually be a new division set up by Tedco in charge of new production (right Marc?), where the "Hanna-Barbera" div. will deal solely with the "Classic" properties. I think "SwatKats" might fall between the cracks here, but my first impression is that it would be considered "Classic" by virtue of the fact it's no longer in production. I said earlier that I was going to color photocopy some unreleased Kats stuff I got from H-B and send it to someone for scanning. I can't do that. My local print shop said that a further copy of this stuff wouldn't scan in very well, so I plan on sending someone my *originals* for scanning so that we can all download reasonable pics. I also haven't managed to get time for typing in this full Kats script I have called "Blackout", but now we have yet another script on the way (guess I better get typing) which is actually an early draft of the unfinished episode "Curse of Kataluna". "Blackout" was an unused script that became the genesis for Glenn Leopold's first season closer "Katastrophe", where this "Kataluna" script concerns a certain kat-vamp's affects on Commander Feral. I've had the time to read a bit of "Blackout" while typing it for someone, and I think everyone will get a kick out of it. Leaving these things in script format also gives you a good indication of how the storyboard artist takes his cues and helps transform it into a completed episode.

Sender: owner-kats@bort.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kats@bort.mv.net I thought that this didn't sound right, so I asked the experts- the rec.pets.cats newsgroup. Here's a selection of the responses so far... ************************************************************** Of course they get cancer!!! My Abigail died of liver cancer in 1993, and I've seen many, many people talk on this group about cats with various kinds of cancer since I started reading it in 1987. Ask whoever told you this what school of veterinary medicine he or she attended ... :-) ------------ Unfortunately, cats do indeed get cancer. I have several friends who have lost cats to cancer recently. It is probably under-reported in pets (compared to humans), because a lot of pet owners would not go to the expense of diagnosing the cancer. Hope this was a hypothetical question. --------------- Tuck, possibly the nicest cat our family ever owned, died of lung cancer. And he never smoked. ----------- Well, considering that just one week ago I lost a cat to cancer (confirmed by an atopsy done by the Vet), I would say that the person was incorrect. Not only did this cat die of cancer, but her mother had also died of cancer, so it the tendency toward cancer tun in the genes in cats as well as humans. I also spoke to a friend who has had numerous cats over the years and she says that she has lost more cats to cancer than any other cause. *************************************************************** I'll probably be getting more mail on this subject for a while, but I won't bother to pass it along unless there's something more technical. I would bet that few folks pay for an autopsy on their dead pet, so you don't hear about it so much. After thinking about it, I should have known the answer to this. I have a FeLV positive cat, (Fricassee), and after reading up on the virus, I knew that in the final stages a cat will get all sorts of wierd cancers. Like HIV in humans, there can be a long stage where one tests positive, but appears otherwise healthy. On a different subject, there's been a "SF for Cat Lovers" thread on rec.pets.cats for a while. I mentioned the upcoming SK superchunk, so maybe a few more folks may watch it. --------------------- Paul Kemner | "Many people appear to imagine that they cannot Toledo, Ohio | afford to have artistic surroundings, whereas pkemner@bright.net | the wonder is that they can afford so much --------------------- expensive ugliness."

Because of the positive results obtained by using Mook for the animation of Swatkats, Hanna-Barbera has been convinced to use them as primary contractor for the new-new "Jonny Quest". They've also reversed a clueless decision to "update" the voice-cast for JQ, and have reverted back to the "traditional" cast. Let's hope some other clueless recent decisions will likewise be reviewed. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

Unfortunatly, I don't have any classroom scenes. The story's about Jake's reaction to his mom's death. Despite what that sounds like, there's also some cool scenes with a gun (though no one gets shot) and you see how Jake gets the idea to join the enforcers with Chance.

Funny, but add about 60 years to Jake and a few brain cells missing-in-action, and you wind up with Hackle, no?

Oh well. >What I mean is Jake got tougher by being around Chance, and >Chance got--well, I don't want to use the term "softer". How 'bout >"more polite?" The way I read it, Jake wouldn't likely have considered an Enforcer career without the persuasion of friends, family members etc. I imagine Jake in school would be somewhat reluctant to resort to violence in self-defence - even if picked on - whereas Chance would possess the self-confident air that would render him immune to being "picked on" at all. Their partnership is very complementary in nature, with the character traits of the one counterbalancing the equivalent lack of them in the other. Jake would learn some aspects of the way Chance deals with situations and modify some of his behaviour accordingly - perhaps realizing that some situations *must* necessitate other than a negotiated peace. Chance on the other hand would learn to temper his behaviour somewhat and maybe explore other avenues before throwing the milk-can through the TV in disgust, or blowing something to smithereens that merely needed a good spanking. Their friendship works like a good marriage: even though they're constantly learning from and adapting to one another, they'll never wind up being the same person. If someone wanted an example of the fundamental differences in the two Kats personality, I'd be tempted to use the appearance of a door-to-door salesman by way of illustration. Though neither Kat upon answering the door would much feel like a long, involved conversation about Vacuum cleaners, Jake would likely listen to the entire presentation in order to be "polite", and would likely be stuck at the door all day, failing to recognize that the salesperson's plaintive "help me out" type schtick was little more than victimization aimed at unwary souls in the name of commerce. Chance on the other hand would likely listen to the pitch for a few brief seconds, see through the psychological warfare BS of the professional scam artist, and dismiss the individual with a slam of the door or similar almost to the point of being offensively rude. Civilization is somewhere between the two extremes. >>"Jake! stop scratching your claw on the blackboard." > >Heh heh, that'd be funny wouldn't it? Unfortunatly, I don't have >any classroom scenes.

I fired off a letter to TCN telling them the following to explain the "differences": The "Secret Files of the SwatKats" materials were all ordered sent to Turner Home Video for duplication and insertion into the VHS tapes (and undoubtedly the "Today on SwatKats" bumpers were sent right along with them). Cartoon Network was sent the syndication package for air, but stripped of all the stuff that would be added to each ep before it ran on TBS. I also passed along the HB production number for the missing "Kats Eye News Special Report/SKIQ" episode, along with a contact name at Hanna-Barbera to help them find it. Hopefully, the thing will hit air on TCN soon so everyone can add it to their library! (Especially those folks able to tape it with the CD quality possible with TCN on DSS). _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

I have a pic of the original version of the Turbokat (with "S.K." written on each wing), and it looks a lot more "cartoonish" than what eventually wound up on screen. The details of the rear-engine area aren't visible from this particular angle, so I'm not sure about original intentions. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

A similar intro bumper was inserted after the >commercials (except it was "Back to the action!") Ah, okay. There's a rule for broadcast programming in kiddie-land (Sat-AM) that states the broadcaster has to insert 'bumpers' like this at the act-breaks so that kids clearly realize where the teleplay ends and the commercials begin. There was great fear when the kid-TV industry was deregulated (i.e., dropping the "no half hour commercials masquerading as cartoons" rule) that shows would simply become "buy-buy-buy" subliminal seduction for the kiddies, and the bumper thing was introduced to help limit it. I think there's still a ruling that prohibits marketing of the toys catering to the show in commercials *during* the show (that is, you shouldn't see "Super Silly Silver Surfer" action figures promoted during the Super Silly Silver Surfer Show), but for some reason TCN gets away with murder. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

Freda A comparision: Speed Racer: 5 frames/sec >ah518@traverse.lib.mi.us SWAT Kats: 20-24 frames/sec Ut-oh, nitpick time. The frame rate (number of frames for each second of footage) is generally 24 frames/sec for film animation, and 30 frames/second for Television. One would thing that there's 30 different drawings on cels for every second of footage, but they generally double up on every fifth frame for TV cartoons as a byproduct of having to convert from the Film medium (at 24fps) to the Videotape rate of 30. Modern VCR's usually have a "still frame" or "jog shuttle" that lets you pause and count each frame to a maximum of 30 before the counter racks up another second, but only try it if you're _really_ bored. But A.J.'s right, sometimes the frame-rate dips horribly low as a means of saving money (less drawings being required means more can be done by fewer artists), and sometimes the cheaper efforts have 'action' sequences as low as 12fps. I think I'm saying that though Kats could drop to twenty distinct drawings within a thirty-frame sequence, I highly doubt "Speed" could drive the Mach 5 at anything below 12 (or some junk). _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

O.S. = "Out of Shot". That portion of the scene occurring just outside the view of the 'camera', or otherwise obscured from being seen. VO = "Voice Over". The character's line of spoken dialogue or other sound effect is heard, but the camera isn't on the character or device responsible. For instance, the camera focusses in on Prof. Hackle driving out of the junkyard in his truck, and we hear the two Metallikats squabbling in the back, though we don't see them: MAC (VO) Maybe you could make her without a mouth? MOLLY(VO) .....and *him* taller! POV = "Point of View". The camera 'sees' the scene from the point of view of one of the characters present in it. For instance, if Callie, Razor and T-Bone were having a discussion and the Kat guys wound up blushing, the writer may have us 'look' at Razor/T-Bone from the 'POV' of Callie. OTS = "Over The Shoulder" Similar to POV in execution, but the character or prop named immediately following the 'OTS' is also visible in the shot. For instance, if the line went "ANGLE ON DARK KAT OTS RAZOR", we'd be looking at Dark Kat perhaps threatening Razor, from the back of Razor's head; literally, 'over his shoulder'. PAN WITH = The 'camera' follows the characters as they approach other characters or props. For instance, "PAN WITH Creeplings as they approach REACTOR CORE". WIDE TO ESTABLISH = Means that the 'camera' is looking at the scene far enough back that we can see the building, scene or other manner of 'set' that the action will take place in during subsequent frames. For instance, Razor and T-Bone land the Turbokat and we see them approaching a chain link fence, the scene fades out, then the camera goes "WIDE TO ESTABLISH" on the now familiar Pumadyne laboratory. You generally see this each time there's a major location change, like leaving the boys at the garage for a scene of Feral at Enforcer Hindquarters. After CUT TO: ENFORCER HQ, we'd have EXT. ENFORCER HQ - DAY and WIDE TO ESTABLISH. Basically, it's letting the audience know that the subsequent scenes of Feral take place during the daytime at Enforcer Headquarters, and not in the previous locale of Jake and Chance Garage. CUT TO, DISSOLVE TO, and FADE TO: = Are different ways of changing from one scene to the next. BG = "Back Ground". This is the painting that forms the background for various scenes. Each cel or combination of cels is placed overtop of a background painting and photographed. This is done 24 times for each second of film-footage, and many times that before the background is changed to something else. During the multi-character free-for-all at the end of "Katastrophe", the action takes place in the Tuna factory. There were very few backgrounds needed for that whole scene, though many different character cels were required to depict the fight happening against them. ANIMATE BG = "Animate Background" This *generally* means that there's action taking place in a mechanical contrivance of some description - like a train or the Turbokat - and these vehicles have to appear as though they're moving. We focus in on T-Bone flying the Turbokat cursing the throttle because he's flying far too fast, and the BG is actually what's moving - not the TK. This is sometimes used in conjunction with foreground motion to make something look as though it's hurtling by at light speed. ANGLE ON: A 'camera' direction. There's a big vault with Creeplings hammering away at the locking mechanism, and your attention is directed to the Vault door by "ANGLE ON VAULT DOOR". CLOSE ON: 'Camera' zooms in on a character or prop. We have an exterior shot of the Turbokat closing on a target, and we want to get a closer shot of the cockpit. The camera direction might be "CLOSE ON COCKPIT", or might go one step further to pay more attention to Razor than T-Bone by saying "CLOSE ON COCKPIT FAVOURING RAZOR". ECU, CU, XXCU: All variations of "Close Up" - 'Extreme Close Up", "Close Up" and "Xtra Xtra Close Up" respectively. Usually pertaining to a character when you want the focus on a particular facial expression that'd be basically invisible when the character is drawn full-frame (i.e., you can see his feet and head in the same shot!). XXCU might go as far as having only the character's eyes or mouth fill the 'screen'. WORM'S EYE VIEW: This is literally what it implies; that the camera is on the ground at roughly the level of a worm looking up at the scene. For instance, Dark Kat pulls a gun on Razor, and T-Bone throws a rock at Dark Kat's hand, knocking the gun to the ground immediately in front of Razor. Razor steps on the gun with his foot before DK can retrieve it. We want the camera to get Razor's foot on the gun, and Dark Kat's reaction all within the same frame, so the 'Camera Direction' might go something like this: WORM'S EYE VIEW: ANGLE ON DARK KAT OTS RAZOR Razor's foot stomps on the gun as Dark Kat attempts to retrieve it. Dark Kat rubs his sore wrist (note: There are *wide* variations in style depending on who is writing what and for whom. Some Disney scripts I've got are a bit more, well, "formal" than Lance's stuff, but are downright hard to read as a result. ) ENQUIRING KATS WANT TO KNOW: Q: "What's the difference between backgrounds and props?" A: Just like the stage, gang. A "prop", even a drawn one, is something that the characters interact with. "Background" is simply the eye-candy in, literally, the background. Jake and Chance sitting on the sofa watching Skaredy Kat in the garage breaks down like this: Garage, walls, pictures, famous 'ever-July' Calendar: all "Background" TV remote, Nachos, couch, anchovies: all "props". Skaredy Kat: believe it or not, he's considered a character despite the fact the TV is a prop! (Chance throws the milk can through the picture tube, you see, and thus interacts with it...keeping Katsui in the picture-tube business in the process) Anything that has to react to a character's touch is either another character or a prop. It's easy to tell the difference in everything but "The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat" (where you even have to feed the backgrounds). Q: "Why is some stuff capitalized and other stuff not?" A: Tougher. Generally, all the directions to the 'camera' and character names are capitalized. Also, depending on the writer, actions requiring special effects and props that'll need new designs may also be capitalized for a variety of reasons. That's why you get things like: "The FEAR SHIP latches on to the Turbokat and YANKS it UP AND O.S." FEAR SHIP is something the artists are going to have to design for the show, and a sound effect and movement pattern will have to be developed for "YANK". These "special" drawings and breakdowns become part of what they called "show packs"; individual for each episode. That's why the drawings in the "Toon" article of the Glovatrix remind the storyboard artists that the armament found within the Glovatrix varies from show-to-show, and to check the "individual show-packs" for details. (Cut this out and save it somewhere for when we get the first draft of what would've been "Curse of Kataluna") Oh yeah, one more note. In the script, Lance references things like "From Show 4" and so on. If you have the "Animato!" article handy, the numerical order of the eps there is what Lance is referring to. There's also a couple of name changes that you'll pick up on, chiefly "Occulus" instead of "Morbulus"; "Fear Ship" instead of "Doomsday Express", and I-forget-which in place of "Turbo-Mole". When Lance wrote the first draft of this, the stuff that'd been previously written hadn't gotten beyond storyboards, and there were still changes to be made before the eps got animated overseas. For instance, the name "Occulus" from "The Giant Bacteria" was changed just before the completed episode aired (and Viper's dialogue all had to be re-done using "Morbulus" instead) because a copyright conflict was uncovered concerning the "Occulus" name and some defunct Marvel Comics character. Other names are changed for a variety of reasons, sometimes because Broadcast Standards and Practices ("BS&P" or "The Censors" for all you "Eek!", "Reboot" and "Animaniacs" fans) feels the name will be too frightening for kids, or might be interpreted as something naughty, or simply because someone with hungrier Lawyers used it first (as with "Occulus"). Often they're changed because someone in the crew like the Tremblays etc comes up with a better-sounding name while reading the script (as with "Turbo-Mole" vs. whatever was used in "Blowout!"). "Blowout!" was slated to end the first season, but was handed to Glenn Leopold for story editing and completely changed around to become "Katastrophe". Lance felt Leopold's script was better than his (in fact, he even went as far to describe himself as "burned-out" while penning it), so he didn't object to the changes whatsoever. (anyone still want to write screenplays for a career after that lot?) _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

X-Mailer: Sender: owner-kats@bort.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kats@bort.mv.net Hi fellow kat fans! It's me again! I had this (good? bad? totally insane?) idea about the stories last night, but it was too late (11:45) to do anything then. I don't know what you guys will think, but oh, well, like I said, it's only an idea. What I thought was that maybe either the Rat or Chance could make another file sorta thingey in the story site for summaries. Now, before you start chewing me out, lemme 'splain. When an author writes something and sends it to the Rat, they could also write a short (one paragraph or so) summary of the story, that sort of thing. And also (I got this idea from the Black Rose's spec archieve) we could make different divisions, y'know, like one place for humor stories, one for action, one for ongoing series, that sorta thing. See, the Black Rose puts the stories in these different catagories like "Finished" and "In Progress" and "Silly" and so on. I know there's no humor stories yet, but who knows? Maybe one of these days I'll write one. =) Like I said before, this is only an idea. Anyone like it? Do tell. Do tell. =) Hey, if it worked for the a.b.a.r., why can't it work for us? I mean, the a.b.a.r. is just like our story site; an archieve of fan works. So, what do you guys think? Terra Chang: M.T.S.C. (More Than Slightly Cracked) happy, happy, joy, joy, Wondering "what the heck will the others think of my idea?"

I think I'm saying that though Most feature film animation is done on ones and on twos. That is, it's only a full 24 fps for scenes with lots of action, while it's 12 fps, with each cel used twice, for slower scenes. A lot of TV animation is done on twos as a maximum, with frame rates dropping as low as 4 fps. When 24 fps animation is transferred to 30 fps video, some of the twos become threes. The only way to get true frame-by-frame of the original film via video is from a CAV LD. >Kats could drop to twenty distinct drawings within a thirty-frame sequence, >I highly doubt "Speed" could drive the Mach 5 at anything below 12 (or some >junk). A lot of Speed Racer is "partial animation", where cels of the character's moving mouth are placed on an underlay of the character. I checked out the show on MTV, and was horrified at how bad it looks to me now. OTOH, I love my Marine Boy bootlegs, and that's no better, but I like the characters and premise more.

By comparison, TMNT >cels sold for between 20.00 to 250.00 Indeed the prices for the SK cels are horribly high, but IMHO so are the JQ cels. Both are priced above Disney TV cels, and the Disney shows have greater buyer appeal as they tie in to the feature films (TLM, Aladdin, TLK/T&P). Perhaps if the JQ cels don't move the prices for those and the SK cels will drop. If the H-B "authorized dealer" program is like Disney's the dealers pay half of retail, and I don't know many galleries that would pay $250+ for this stuff when they can get more easily sold Disney material for less. The TMNT cels are not a valid basis for comparison, as a huge number of them were dumped via TRU for $20, which pissed off the people who paid $200 and up from galleries.

I don't want to get too far away from the subject, but... :) Some new transfer methods use an electronic shutter on the video "camera". Since each "frame" of film is 1/24th of a second, and video is 1/30th of a sec., you simply find the common denominator (120). The film & video will sync at 1/120th of a second shutter speed. Run the film and video normally with that shutter speed, boost the light from the projector, and you'll see no flicker. (Trust me, I've done this..) LD players are really cool!

Well, aside from "Speed of Heat", there's an ep (and I can't recall the title without spending some time looking) where Razor's just finished doing some mod or other, and they're in the air heading off to some emergency. T-Bone says something along the lines of "We'll be right there!", to which Razor replies, "We'll get *there* a lot faster with *all* our engines!", then the third nozzle of the TK ingites. Oh yeah, my "Scooby-Doo/Do" thing wasn't a spelling flame, I think I was comparing the animation in "Scooby-Doo" to "Dog-do".

She's never been mentioned in ANY fanfiction up, so I've been wondering if I'm the only one who finds her to be an appealing character. "Children onf the Stone" has a good amount (probably more than any episode can boast), and it's seqeul is basically an Abi/Jake/Thoran story (you don't know who he is yet. He gets introduced in the first one). Abi's awesome! Most of you know that I'm not such a big Cally fan (my apologies to those who are). Abi's better for me because she stands up for herself (sort of) and does something HELPFUL in almost every scene she's in.

I can give an honest critique before you post it to Rat. I should know about stories, I've written quite a few myself. Maybe we should put up guidelines or something for them . . .

A.J. saying he finished part one of his story, (Don't remember the title, it'll probably hit me after I send this message.) is finished and that he would start sending it. It's been a while. Where is it? Send it. Please? If we beg you very, very nicely? And anyway, you could say that me and Ryan are vetrans at this writing buisness, but the problem is, I am a very greedy little soul. I can only continue contributing to our site if someone else gets off their butts and starts typing. It's only fair, isn't it? And if you don't have any ideas, I've got plenty! Just not enough time to put them all down on screen.

Who knows? Don't say "I suck at this, don't tell me I don't," cause I know the feeling! Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt!! If you have any *real* problems with writing, e-me and I'll be happy to help. But I have done enough for right now! (And as I'm saying this, I've got another story waiting to be sent.)

I realize now I would do it that way, too. In order to get a good picture of her character in my head, I watched "The Pastmaster Rings Twice" 4 times yesterday, and if you're going by length of appearance she really did have a bigger part in that one. In "Deadly Pyramid" (which I can barely stand because I practically had a weekend marathon of it last Sunday) she had a slightly smaller part, but it was better. Another cool thing about her character is she doesn't wear a suit. In "Pastmaster . . ." she wears this nice skirt and a top, not a suit. I CAN'T STAND SUITS!!!!!

Understand what I just said? > >Well, in some sort of way, that episode is a "Sinian" episode. I think that Sinian's role was wisely use in that episode. I loved that ep, but one of the things that really *bugs* me about writing, is when the characters go into a kind of "Mr. Exposition" trance for the benefit of the audience only. Glenn Leopold wrote that ep and was the story editor for the series. One of the duties of story editor is to "listen" from the perspective of the audience and ensure that the way plot points are conveyed in the script will be understood by the viewers. Sometimes writers take "short cuts" when they're too lazy to 'explain' something another way, and the characters end up spouting unnatural dialogue that would never be spoken character-to-character in a 'real-life' situation. Leopold did that with "Pyramid" in the person of Dr. Sinian. Glenn had to introduce the name of the dig, and 'foreshadow' the appearance of that big nasty that tangled with T-Bone and swatted Razor, and he tried to do it all at once: "Tie everything down or we're going to lose months of work on this Katcchu-Picchu excavation!" Um, yeah. First of all, her co-workers - arthritic and sunburned after 'months of work' on said dig - would likely be quite familiar the name of the project, so their response should collectively have been a 'Molly Metallikat'-ish, "well....duh!". Glenn, though a good writer, did that kind of thing on a few other occasions as well, and in each case it grated just as badly. Still, I guess they have to cram a lot into 22 minutes, and they aren't exactly paid to do "Citizen Kane". _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

Feral was supposed to be in T-Bone's shoes for "Cry Turmoil", and the writer was ordered to revise the script in favour of T-Bone. Glenn Leopold got to use Feral in a semi-romantic situation instead with "Curse of Kataluna", which is described as "very much Feral's episode". A scene with Feral and Turmoil *would* be a lot of fun, especially if Feral needed some information that only she could provide, and maybe he has to negotiate her "price" for it? Heh. Feral isn't really stupid, but I think he's intellectually outclassed by Turmoil to a fair extent. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

It says that somewhere in the >Animato! article, under the episode description of "Cry Turmoil." Yup, basically right. It was supposed to be a 22-minute script with Feral *actually* switching sides and only reverting to Mr. Law 'n' Order when it became evident that Turmoil's plans were doomed, and claiming that he was just stringing her along the whole time. The writer intended it to be a statement that Feral could be a bad Kat under the right set of circumstances, and that a combination of "underappreciation" in MCPD and the opportunity presented by Turmoil provided those circumstances. The writer was told "the show is about the Kat Guys; don't overdevelop the supporting cast" and the role was swapped from Feral to T-Bone, and the episode shrunk to a short. It took a lot of convincing to get Falk to write another script. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

Should I finish the whole twisted tale or run away while I can? Read on and see. This is an excert from something I've been cooking up for quite a while . . . . This would probably be rated R for violence and some pretty heavy mental images. Don't kill me, just read and tell me what you think. EXCERT FROM "THE LONG ROAD HOME" I stood there watching them cart the thing away, shuddering from the strain and exhaustion I felt. When was the last time I had gotten any decent amount of sleep? And the pain . . . I didn't know it would be like this!! I didn't know this would happen! I didn't know that . . . that . . . that *he* would be killed! I felt numb, all of a sudden, then vaguely peaceful. I looked down at my tightly clenched hand. I still held the gun in my hands. A smile spread over my face at this realization, a maniac smile of one who has nothing left to live for. And that was most definetely me. Yes . . . so simple. Just lift the gun, put it next to your skull and pull. Not that hard. Do it. End the pain. Yes . . . do it . . . no pain . . . But of course I don't. I'm too much of a coward to end it yet. Even when *he* is turning into rot and mold and dust as I walk and move. And the guilt makes it worse. Guilt from the knowledge that *I* could've prevented his death; guilt that I go on while he is rotting slowly in the ground; guilt that I am still alive while he, who did not deserve such pain and suffering at my hands, does not. Oh why, *why* did you have to go? I do not know if I say this out loud or if they just run rampart in my brain. *His* image is burning in my brain, and no matter how deep I sleep at night, I still see that face, those eyes, souless and hollow as he accuses me of everything I have done to him. And I deny it, even though I know it be true, as does he, and the jury who sits faceless behind us as we scream and curse each other. And suddenly, in my animal lust to see his sneering face lying smashed and broken on the stone floor, I suddenly leap at him, out of my own violation, and wrap my hands around his neck and squeeze as hard as I can, my knuckles turning white as he chokes and gasps and thrashes in my grasp. And I am laughing cruelly, taunt him as I slowly and mercilessly tighten my grip. His eyes are bugging out at this point, his face blue, visible even under the short fur. And then it is over. He is dead and once more I am the cause of it. And when the rage that so comsummed me minutes before leaves me, I see him lying there, broken and bloody, his face forever frozen in a look of pleading, begging me to stop, begging me to let him go . . . . . . and I did not. The jury stirs and mutters, both angrily and restlessly. A voice, deep and hollow booms throughout my mind. "Traitor! Murderer! Beassssst!!" Oh, and that last word . . . spoken in the silvery hiss of dry coils rubbing against each other, and I run, putting my hands to my ears and run, stumbling in my haste, tears flowing freely down my face, run and run and run and run . . . but I cannot get away. Okay, that was it. So, whaddya think? Should I finish it, or leave it like this and try something less . . . um, heavy? Should I run away and never come back to this . . . or should I finish it, pour out the whole bloody and depressing and moody tale? Well, whaddya think?

But really, I do think >that she get a good character placement in "Cry Turmoil". Part of the reason that the supporting cast wasn't developed is likely that a "kiddie" ac/adv effort has to remain focussed on those elements that will hit the toy shelves before Christmas. If you take TMNT for example, the first miniseries kept the camera tight on the four turtle-dudes, April, and Shredder..which were indeed the only toys you could purchase that first season (as I recall). Followup seasons of the 'Kitties would've seen both an expanded toy line (according to Remco), some new bad guys, and some stories that would've shared the spotlight with the other castmembers interspersed with the giant monster battles we all know and love. I also think Turner vastly underestimated the average intelligence of viewers in general, but Kats viewers specifically. Most of the people on this list that I've spoken to over the course of a year or so are smarter than the average bear, liked the Katseps completed to date, but saw that more "mature" storylines were possible within the context of Kat-dom without shaking off the "other" audience. Look at the fanfic for example. The execs had been with other shows in kiddieville and learned their stuff during the mid-80's or earlier when things were a bit different. Everyone in 1991-93 was trying to come up with the next "Ninja Turtles" without realizing that it's unlikely a single property will ever again capture that kind of audience share now that the structure of things is so different from when the TMNT hit air in 1987. Problem was, Tedco expected TMNT-style licensing returns without venturing into TMNT-style licensing, and wasn't willing to give the program the support it needed to return the investment (something 'Garfield's Mark Evanier calls "deficit-financed"). Anyway, whenever you ask yourself a question that begins "why didn't they..." in terms of more adult storylines and such, remember that the creative crew were probably thinking along those lines, while the execs were thinking "it won't sell in toy stores". (I dunno, *I'd* certainly have purchased a "Feral" ac-fig...but then again I'm not a 9yr. old MMPR fan) _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

This is a "crazy idea" ala Razor. (e.g. "Razor, is this another one of your crazy ideas?" What I was thinking was to combine all of us writers into an RPG.(Role Playing Game.) I mean all of us, and make it into one HUGE story that we can all drag up and say "Twenty years from now I'm gonna look back on this and laaaaaaugh." But I need the list's approval and help. After all, one person by herself or himself, or even two people cannot do it. I was thinking, one RPG for us, and we each take on rolls of our own . . . (ala my "assuming the idenity of a character" idea.) They did it in the a.b.a.r. (I'm *NOT* saying either is better, I'm using them for an example for that it *can* be done!!!) So, what do you people think? Like it? An RPG of the 'Kats list? what say? And, if we do this, I wanna do the first post. I mean, it's only fair, 'caue it was my idea!! And who knows?!

This is pretty good, maybe have Chance running with the wrong crowd (though basically a 'good kat'), and being picked up by the Enforcers rather frequently as a 'bad apple'. Perhaps one day he's picked up by a group of Enforcers for something extra-naughty, his rather extensive past record of petty juvenile delinquency pops up, and they're tempted to throw him in the Kat equivalent of Juvie Hall (that kind of Kiddie Jail). I'm thinking that one Enforcer realizes that Chance isn't a bad kat at all, and gives him the one break he needed to get back on track - and this Enforcer makes a lasting impression on Chance to the point that he wants to be like this person when he "grows up" (nobody having given him a break before, etc.). > You could make him encountering some problems with alchohol in his past life @@@@hh, in fanfic only, you could have one of the nuisance arrests be for 'drinking in a public place' etc, but I think he'd personally be more likely to stare from the sidelines and realize that he isn't really *like* those people he's hanging around with, but gets put in the frame right along with them just because he's "there". You of course wouldn't be able to so much as mention that kind of thing and get it through BS&P as an actual ep - and in any event I can't picture any version of an 'alcohol problem' you might come up with to fall into the 'chronic' category. Maybe more like trying one of your friend's cigarettes and realizing it "wasn't you" is more his speed as regards underage alcohol abuse. >>If only I could pull off what I *really* wanna try writing.

I was kinda wondering when someone was gonna realize it. I posted a 4-part story called The Chomzon Chronicles on the seaQuest club on Prodigy's SCI-FI BB. The whole thing's about 350-400 pages long. Took me a year. Anyway, it's a seaQuest story that involves a Lopinenean race called chomzons (gee, that was hard to tell). I make TONS of Watership Down references throughout the whole thing, and NO ONE picked up on it. Lopine is a religion with origins unknown, but it is believed to have begun with a small cult of rabbits who practiced something called Lapine.

I'm sure that was discussed, but most producers of kidvid consider shooting the whole year's run as a continuing saga to be a bad gamble; it plays havoc with reruns and syndicated broadcast, and generally doesn't take into account that much of the audience in the traditional Sat-AM slots has a comparitively short attention span. "Robotech", though a fine show, was also a serial and a commercial failure when originally broadcast. "Exosquad" also used the serial format, but was considered only a moderate success by Universal, and still suffered from the same problems that killed "Robo" (though the anime-crowd will likely give you an argument about the yen in that regard). The best solution seems to be limited multi-ep story arcs a la "Batman: The Animated Series" and "Gargoyles" to permit more complex storylines, but I doubt Tedco figured out that the same audience watching these fairly "adult" series was also watching "SwatKats".

And I'll add that unlike many lists and newsgroups where the readership rolls over during the course of the year, the katslist still has most of the folks it started with. Pretty amazing considering we only have a 24 episode base from which to work from. "Flintstones" by comparison has something like 166, "Animaniacs" about 93, and Lord knows how many for "The Simpsons". One of the things that makes a canceled show 'classic' is the ability of the fans to keep it alive through fanfiction, as anyone can see during those long years where there were no new episodes of "Star Trek", and currently with the still extensive fan following of things like "Dr. Who" and "The Prisoner" - both long since defunct.

It's interesting that TedCo put essentially nil into licensing the Kats, but has gone to almost the opposite extreme with JQ, in effect pulling out all the stops.

I just can't see this at all. Regardless of underappreciation and opportunity, Feral would never switch sides like that. It just goes against his basic character. He might pretend to go along, like T-Bone did, but would never mean it. For those like Feral, "protect and serve" is not just a motto, but a way of life, soething that's an inextricable part of them. It's along the lines of Hudson's comment in the Gargoyles episode "Reawakening": "A Gargoyle can no more stop protecting his home than breathing the air." That's how I read Feral. >The writer was told "the show is about the Kat Guys; don't overdevelop the >supporting cast" and the role was swapped from Feral to T-Bone, and the episode >shrunk to a short. It took a lot of convincing to get Falk to write another script. That's an annoyingly myopic POV. In any well-developed series there are going to be eps that study the character of the supporting players. Maybe not to this degree, but close.

It would be nice to see the fan club really take flight.

Frankly, I don't think I've ever seen more dedicated fans (of a cancelled show) anywhere on the net! I remember when the Kats were canned, and although there was not an overwhelming amount of posting to groups like rec.arts.animation, some very impressive things were said. Usually posts about "What the heck's going on with Ted?!" led to discussion of why it was happening, who was responsible, what we can do, etc. (Were any of those questions ever really answered?) Although there weren't many posts, many had long threads and IMO won over more fans who hadn't ever heard of it. (Ever hear of advertising, Ted?) Now there's even a newsgroup specifically for Kats! If you look at the file size of the archives of this list, you'll get a good idea of how it's grown over the past year. Not only with the amount of messages, but the number of list members--many of which are lurkers (you know who you are!) In fact just over this past weekend, I got almost 70 messages in my mailbox! Can you imagine how many that would be if all the lurkers were posting too?! Even with the Kats being canned and only 24 eps. to work with, we've put out a ton of files (which I'm sure Paul can confirm). Even with a limited amount of merchandise in limited areas, we've shipped stuff all over the US & Canada for each other. I think everyone deserves a pat on the back for all the effort that's been put into everything!

(taken from the Gargoyles Drinking Game on the WWW fanfic archive) 1. Get an ample supply of your favorite drink. 2. Gulp every time the show meets this criteria: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- 1. Drink once if Cally mentions the SWAT Kats around Jake and Chance. Drink Twice if Cally mentions Jake and Chance around the SWAT Kats. 2. Drink once if the SKs/Jake and Chance call each other by the wrong aliases. (ex: TB calling Razor Jake while in flight suit). Drink twice if it's not in the hanger or the garage. 3. Drink once if one of the kats makes a REALLY, REALLY lame joke. Drink twice if a pun or proverb is involved. 4. Drink once if Feral says, "Bring me chopper backup!" Drink twice if he isn't in a chopper at the time. Drink three times if he's in a chopper, but hasn't crashed yet. 5. Drink once if the SWAT Kats dis Feral. Drink twice if he isn't there. Drink three times if Jake and Chance dis Feral. 6. Drink once if Dr. Sinian is in the episode. 7. Drink once if Felina imitates her uncle. 8. Drink once if Felina disobeys her uncle. 9. Drink once if Feral lets Felina go anyway. Drink twice if he feels bad about it. Drink three times if he mentions it out loud. 10. Drink once every time Ann Gora interrupts a show for a news flash. Drink twice if Ann Gora reports on ANYTHING that isn't a news flash. Drink three times if the report doesn't even involve someone attacking anyone, or the SWAT Kats. 11. Drink once if Charlie Adler (T-Bone, Murry, Zed) plays more than one guy in an episode. Drink twice if it's in the same scene. Drink three times if he has one-on-one dialogue with himself. 12. Drink once if Razor gets whiny and sounds like Donetello. Drink twice if it's for pretty much the whole episode. 13. Drink once if Mac and Molly bicker. Drink twice if they revert to name-calling. 14. Drink once if Molly makes a comment of Mac's driving. 15. Drink once if Professor Hackle acts senile. Drink twice if it's cute. 16. Drink once if we get to see Jake and Chance doing something related to their business. Drink twice if it gets in the way of being SKs. 17. Drink once if Cally acts cute and sounds like Babs. 18. Drink once if Dr. Viper hisses. Drinkk twice if it's in a word that doesn't REALLY have an "s" in it. 19. Drink once if Feral curses the SWAT Kats. Drink twice if he curses Jake and Chance the same way. 20. Drink once if Mayor Manx's hairpiece moves. Drink twice if he has to pick it up. Drink three times if someone picks it up for him. 21. Drink once of the SKs battle a monster we could all really care less about. 22. Drink once if AGAIN you notice the similarities between "Caverns of Horror" and "Ci-kat-ta" episodes. 23. Drink once if the episode involved a childish fear (or fault) T-Bone must overcome. 24. Drink once if Razor makes and comments on an update to their jet. Drink twice if it JUST HAPPENS to come in handy for that particular episode. 25. Drink once if Razor fights the bad guys in a building or something while T-Bone hangs out in the Turbokat. 26. Drink once if ANYONE in the city handles ANY problem by themselves, without the help of the SKs. 27. Drink once if you noticed that calender still on July. 28. Drink once if the Turbokat does some rediculious stunt. Drink twice if it goes against the laws of nature, gravity, and/or space. Hope that's enough to occupy you guys still I get back! BTW, Vurthuril (Children's sequel) is really coming along great. I think it's a bit better than the first. I hope you guys do to. Unfortunately, on Monday I return to school and G-d knows when I'll find time to finish it (don't worry. It'll be in the next month or so). SEE YA!!!

Long time readers/subscribers of this list may remember me as a SWAT Kats fan and then newbie (Though in all the ways that count I still am one.) who would loyally read and occasionally post to the list. The list regulars patiently tolerated my on-line mumbles and manic ranting and raving up until the day I had to leave for the summer, at which point they must have all cheered my departure. I asked for a few snail mail addresses, thanked those who were gracious enough to provide them, and then mysteriously never returned even after I got back on line. I fear I had became a Kats lurker (Horrors!) After a lengthy spell of procrastination I began to feel that I couldn't just come back out of the blue, I had to make an event out of it or somehow compensate my prolonged absence (Weird idea, I know.) I have done something similar that I'd been meaning to do for awhile; In the past several weeks a little under 50 new images have appeared at rat.org, and I'm the one who scanned and FTPed 'em. I won't go on about the difficulties I had scanning the stuff and tolerating the problems this server kept throwing at me, or will I tell of all the harassment I gave Ratman (At least not yet.) The important thing is that the images are there (Though they could use some gamma correction.) and I *am* back. And what better time to come back to the list than today, the list's birthday? Think of it as a gag gift.

I had earlier come up with this: |\/| \/ but decided on a bigger, four line version. Whether or not it looks good kind of depends upon the font you're using. Good in some fonts, bad in others.

Callie is looking here best, IMO in the Deadly Pyramid (Well, not actually *in* the pyramid, just in that episode ;-) ) and I think she looks the most anime like there as well. Coincidence? Maaaaaybe. She *was* looking a little angular in Mutation City (I check again soon to remind myself) with a somewhat strange looking mouth, but I don't immediately recall too much more of an anime look than in other eps, however, I do need to check again. But who's to say that's really a boo-boo? SWAT Kats already is very much like anime, and the more like anime, the better I say (You'd rather Kats look the like other H-B properties? I don't.) > A.J.

We've been well-noticed in some rather odd quarters, but I don't know if there's any kind of measurable effect on those that hold the keys to the Turbokat. I *did* hear something interesting awhile ago that I didn't mention because I couldn't corroborate it, but it seems that certain people were asked to explain certain decisions on the carpet in Atlanta awhile back, and one of them was reportedly the mishandling of "certain properties". Sadly, certain people still have their job(s), so I'm not sure what happened. That was like around Christmas or some junk, and I've not heard much else since. Not to slam H-B at all, but friends in the upper echelons of competitive Animation concerns look at Turner's management record over the past few years and can't stop laughing. Maybe they're trying to turn it around, but unless you know where to stop turning you just wind up in a full circle. Apparently the whole fan-mail handling thing has taken yet another paradigm shift, but I'd have to call to get the details. Someone I just talked to passed on the name of someone I recognized from elsewhere, but last I'd heard all the fanmail was still going to the immortal Mark Hughes in "Classic Cartoons". Mebbe they never *got* to those unopened boxes of mail and were relieved of the responsibility. I'll try find out. (I've been kinda lax in my long-distance duties lately because judging by my last phone bill, I think I'm singlehandedly supporting the phone company's Fiber Optic revolution.) _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

In fact, and I stand to be corrected, I think the only computer-animation equipment resides with Turner Feature Animation (USAnimation platform) at the moment. At the moment, computer ink-and-paint is catching on ("Balto", "Tick", "Beavis and Butthead") along with some relatively sorry-lookin' assisted inbetweening (um.."Tick", sorry to say), but I think we're a bit far away from wholly created CGI Sat-AM animated sequences that *don't* look like "Space Strikers" and "Spiderman".

Olga purported to be a lonely Russian chick in search of one of our Kats to keep her warm at night in Siberia. I think she had trouble finding a hubby in the USSR because she smelled so strongly of Spam, and as such the term "Olga" now applies to any other spammer that attempts to crash the list security and post advertising. Since the inimitable "Olga", we've had three or four additional attempts which wind up in my dead-letter "owner-kats" box and are immediately consigned to the box of Happy-Kat where they belong. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.

I wanted to make sure that mail was actually *going* somewhere before exhorting the membership to write again. At the moment, it seems impossible to get a single *name* to address such mail to, as you can't pin responsibility for a kats on/off decision on any one person...though four-out-of-five-dentists (and not a few Barberians) highly recommend Fred Seibert. Fred's been using his mail to light cigars for over a year now, so maybe that's not the best plan either.

BTW, I know at least ten people that have mailed Turner at the various addresses, and roughly three got responses outside the standard form-letter - and *none* of these came from the intended recipient (in addition to being totally "unofficial"). >>H-B's fax is (213) 969-1201 >>TCN's E-mail address is toonnet@aol.com > >TCN said that TBS's address is richard.turner@turner.com Um...careful here. Turner addresses are set up so that you can theoretically get hold of anyone by putting their full name, seperated by a period, before the "@turner.com". Don't swamp poor old Richard with mail, as I doubt he's meant to be TBS' version of an "in box". >Well, how happy of a Cartoon Network viewer are you? So happy that you can >let us slide here...? That's really cool...I like these guys. > Oh, we triiiiied to find out what the deal with SWAT Kats is. Goodness >knows we tried! All of our information tells us that the same episodes aired, >intact, on TBS and Cartoon Network. ...less "Secret Files of the SwatKats" and the "Katseye News Special Report/SKIQ" episode, and the "Today on SwatKats!" bumpers prior to the opening credits. Does TCN have those "and now back to SWATKATS" bumpers at the act-breaks? I guess someone lost the master of that SKIQ episode. I have a feeling I'm going to send them a videotape showing exactly what's missing. _____________________________________________________ "Dedicated to the indomitable spirit of the sled dogs that relayed antitoxin six hundred miles over rough ice, across treacherous waters, through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the winter of 1925.
