First, it's on, then it's off, then it's on, then it's off. Well, SWAT Kats is back on again at 3:00 on the Cartoon Network, it seems on weekdays. At least, That's the way it is this month. *sigh* It seems that they want to show the kats, but because they don't have enough episodes they have to "cycle" it with other programs. A case for completing those last two episodes if I ever heard one. Also, has anyone else seen what appears to be a "new" commerical for the SWAT Kats on Cartoon Network? All I saw was the tail (no pun intended) end of it where the Kat symbol is being used like a flashlight on the Cartoon Network logo. Third item for business is: I think Ed Rudnicki was asking if people were planning to go to the Albany Anthro-con. Well, I hope to be there, provided I'm not swamped with work. Fourthly, saw an SK watch for sale a few weeks back, but it cost $10 that I didn't have at the time and it was on one of those pushcart deals, so I'm not sure if I could get it now. Finally, Conspriacy theory #42105: Y'know what I think killed the series? Well, a while back someone said that if SK went through two seasons successfully, the series would be made into a weekday show through contractual obligation (this is a *long* time ago). But, tED realised that if SK became a weekday show, it would seriously put a drain on H-B resources which might endanger his two pet projects: Jonny Flop and Captian Putrid. (Whoa. Lots of venom here.) But, in terms of ratings, SK was quite successful and it looked like it would complete its second season to no problem at all. The answer? Kill the series and claim that it was cancelled because a) not enough merchandise was being sold (not surprising since there was so little in the first place) or b) the show was too violent (does not hold water considering how high the body count is in Jonny Flop) *Whew* Lots to get off my chest today.

As I've never seen JQ, is it violent? 2. Is it a ratings failure? For those new here, SK was a textbook example of how NOT to license a property, and JQ was another perfect lesson in how to learn from your mistakes (and make completely new ones, as Jeff Goldblum's character said in "The Lost World"). Now I can't wait for Licensing 97 next week, at least to see if Turner will still have their own booth (and free food! :), or if they're part of WB's display, and what properties they're pushing.

But, >tED realised that if SK became a weekday show, it would seriously put a drain >on H-B resources which might endanger his two pet projects: Jonny Flop and >Captian Putrid. (Whoa. Lots of venom here.) I'm sure that a big part of it had to do with the over-bloated budget of JQ's production. If I remember correctly, the budget was about to shoot up over $9M (with no episode produced) when Ted said enough was enough and put someone else in control. Capt. Plant-it was one of Jane's ideas & was only kept around just to show the FCC and the like that TBS was airing something of "educational" value. This gave Ted some bragging rights -- not to the quality of the show, but that it was environmentally friendly (except now the landfills are full of acetate with pictures of Planeteers on them). JQ was an attempt to re-capture an older audience who grew up with the original JQ. I'm sure this series could be a lot better had TPTB not put certain restrictions on amounts of violence, etc. Just look at what WB did with Toby Dangerous! It's closer to the original than TBS's attempts. >But, in terms of ratings, SK was quite successful and it looked like it would >complete its second season to no problem at all. The answer? Kill the series >and claim that it was cancelled because a) not enough merchandise was being >sold (not surprising since there was so little in the first place) or b) the >show was too violent (does not hold water considering how high the body count >is in Jonny Flop) This makes a good point. If anyone has seen the ad in Toon magazine (there's a scan of it at: http://www.swatkats.com/promo/poster1.jpg ) you'd think that the exact opposite of the reasons above were true. Hmm...

From: Christian Berger at Internet Date: 3/6/97 6:05 pm Hi Why was the production of the SWAT Kats chanceled? I mean the show was verry popular and it wasn't verry brutal. (some eps of Tom and Jerry were more brutal) In germany the SWAT Kats are as famos as Larry King. It became nearly a part of our culture, like ET or the Flintstones. You can see them even in high cultural movies like "D" (I can get you a copy if you want) which is a documentation about a headmaster. Probably the only one which uses only one image of him.

They didn't answer your question, but they at least Unfortunately "cartoons are for kids" is in the mindset of the majority of adults in the US, including the suit-n-tie-guys who make programming decisions. I recall seeing on the "SOS" Sailor Moon page a chart showing the age breakdown of the fans who responded to the web page et al. It resembled a classic Gaussian distribution, albeit with more numbers in the higher ages (obviously not many in the 0-4 yrs set can handle such a survey). The median was around 16-17. Yet the alleged target audience was preteen girls. I doubt SK is any different, despite the "funny animals" slant. The audience is certainly more open-minded about that than the suits who killed the show. Clearly SOMEONE is completely clueless regarding audience demographics, but then they proved it by totally FUBARing the licensing for the Kats :( >assured us that whatever sydnication spot problems they're having will be >cleared up by July.

Are you on the animators' mailing list yet? If not, write me and I'll get you subscription info. I do wish you luck in your quest, but you'll find throughout your career that all the big decisions are made by managers, lawyers, accountants, and other clueless talent-free non-productives. There are exceptions of course, and the occasional visionary succeeds mightily, but most are stifled by the "teeam player" mindset, which is generally anathema to creativity. Read about what happened to Richard Williams and his "Thief and the Cobbler" project to see what I mean. It sucks, but that's the way it is. OTOH, with animation technology advancing as it is, who's to say we won't see a revival of SK, perhaps in 3D CGI, down the road, as the cost of animation decreases. Good luck!

The show was consistently in an early morning time slot (at least on TBS) except for a week or so when it moved to prime-time. Otherwise, you'd have to get up early (6:35 am Pacific/9:35 am Eastern) on Sundays to watch the show, or program your VCR. The show was later moved to an EARLIER time slot (4:35 am Pacific/7:35 am Eastern), which likely killed its ratings even more. Me, I just programmed the VCR and hoped I'd get the shows when they aired. I recently (finally?) got a copy of the Disney movie "Oliver & Company." For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, the main character (Oliver) is a non-anthro, orphaned kitten growing up on the streets of New York; and his "company" is a group of streetwise dogs and a human pickpocket. Wonder how Kats might react to this sort of movie... ------------------------------ From: Christian Berger Date: Tue, 10 Jun 1997 21:17:46 +0100 Subject: SWAT-Kats CD Hi An idea has gone throught my mind. How about makeing a SWAT Kats CD Rom with all the episodes. I have a framegrabber, I will soon hane enought time and I could burn it somewhere. It would be 160x120x24 with 8 fps and 8000Hz 8Bit sound. My idea of distributing is as following. I make a few CD's and everyone who gets one, copies it to other people. That would reduce the costs for everyone to a minumum. It would be a full 680 Mb CD-Rom. Maybe there will also some images, soundfiles or something. I only have to record all the episodes. I could also program a small 16 Bit browser for it.

It took more than 7 hours to compress. The quality is even less than VHS, but it's reasonable. (What do you expect? I only have 680 Mb. And this file takes nearly 30 Mb.) Maybe I'll get a sponsor for the CD, to pay for my costs. Do you mind a few Mb for the "Elektro-Center Heller" in Cham-Janahof? (If you wana get a laught check out their homepage at http://www.mega.de/heller.htm It's the worst I've ever seen.)Maybe I'll use normal internet browsers for the CD, to gain highest compatibility at lowest costs. (Such browsers are avaliable on every system which supports AVI) The videos will be in the new Indeo 4.1 standard. Does somebody know, where I can get it for different platforms? I wont use long filenames since there are no platforms which are capable to play AVI-Files at a reasonable speed, AND support long filenames. (maybe Linux, but I'm not shure) If anyone knows files to add to this CD, he can say it to me. About the constributuion: Just copy it!!! But please make 1:1 copies like with diskcopy if possible.

I spent lots of time at the WB booth, trying to see what I could see. They seem to have done everything in their power to obliterate any evidence that TedCo ever existed. It was all WB, H-B, and TCN. The ex-TedCo H-B properties that are being pushed are Stoopid-Duh, I mean, Scooby Do, and the "classic" H-B properties on TCN. No one there even knew anything about the Kats. For that matter, the new JQ was very much equally conspicuously absent. All the ex-TedCo properties were sort of pushed off to one corner of the booth, too, and had to share that corner with WB's "The Quest for Camelot" animated feature film. Sorry to be the bearer of such news. I asked. I tried. They didn't even have the good food/drinks/trinkets that TedCo had last year. FWIW.

Regardless how little the big companies know about the Swat Kats, we can sitll make a difference. I refuse to let this list die and become off-topical like the now-in-trouble Gargoyles list. Swat Kats is a hot action show, and Turner couldn't see that. All he could see was Captain Planet trying to save the world with lasers and over-jolly theme songs. Someday i've just gotta make my dream happen and that's to help some of these shows come back from the dead, to awaken the fire and the passion that was this show. The Second Season proved to add a bit more drama by talking about T-Bone's fear of swimming, the Swat Kats reckless fighting resulitng in almost killing civilans, and The possiblity of love comming between them and their mission. If nothing else, bringing back the show would at least give us "animated action fans" a chance to get away from the sappy anti-reality shows which the FCC and parent groups want. If Rod Serling could break new ground with "The Twlight Zone", than so can we. We gotta stay together.....no matter what....

Even me, despite the rather negative tone of my Licensing 97 posting (apologies to all the Scooby Doo fans out there!). I still write letters, though the replies are fewer and farther between. As the Silver Surfer said to his master Galactus before engaging him in battle: "Is the battle to be fought only when victory is certain." Then of course there's Churchill's speech from 1940, which ends, "We shall never surrender!!!" I started watching Kats purely out of curiosity. I was instantly hooked. I want them back!!!

Thanks Profesor Zero (diamocht@clnet.cz) I don't know if this will help you very much.. I have compiled all the info I know of SK merchandise on my web page http://www.mich.com/~mweb The direct link to all the SK goodies is http://www.mich.com/~mweb/skstuff.html There are some addresses to the toy companies listed as well as the stores where it was located-- at least, here in the US. I understand that there are also some toys that were available at a fastfood restaurant called "Carl's Jr." You can buy the toys from the restaurant (if they're still available).. Look at this link http://www.getnet.com/~richarde/pricelist.html Hope this helps! ~Purrcy ------------------------------ End of kats-digest V1 #223 ************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Majordomo file: list 'kats-digest' file 'v01.n224' Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 06:15:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Majordomo@maxie.com To: GateKat@SWATKats.Net -- From: owner-kats-digest To: kats-digest Subject: kats-digest V1 #224 Reply-To: kats@maxie.com Errors-To: owner-kats-digest Precedence: bulk X-To-Unsubscribe: send the command unsubscribe kats-digest to majordomo@maxie.com kats-digest Wednesday, 25 June 1997 Volume 01 : Number 224 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Hyenaboy@aol.com Date: Tue, 24 Jun 1997 01:49:56 -0400 (EDT) Subject: friends on the SWAT KATS... my bud says i should grow up my mate says it scares her Heh...heh...heh... ------------------------------ End of kats-digest V1 #224 ************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Majordomo file: list 'kats-digest' file 'v01.n225' Date: Sat, 23 Aug 1997 06:15:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Majordomo@maxie.com To: GateKat@SWATKats.Net -- From: owner-kats-digest To: kats-digest Subject: kats-digest V1 #225 Reply-To: kats@maxie.com Errors-To: owner-kats-digest Precedence: bulk X-To-Unsubscribe: send the command unsubscribe kats-digest to majordomo@maxie.com kats-digest Friday, 27 June 1997 Volume 01 : Number 225 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jesus Fernandez Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 20:05:39 -0500 Subject: New stuff at the Ultaplex I had to delay a bit on the site because I just got a new compression routine that really works _very_ well. I tried it on cockpit.jpg and I got it from 100k to about 12k, still preserving the original quality (really!). One problem, many of the screengrabs _aren't_ that great in quality. Example, callie06-10.jpg, all the feral and skardy kat pics, and so on, the rest are pretty decent, but I wish more than a select few are in the "good" category. I'm in the process of "restoring" the bad pictures to around decent but aiming to get them really good. Also, I seem to be lacking in the "free time" department and have other projects to do, but I will get everything done.. BTW, one of the things I have done is change the FAQ a little bit with more current info (rat.org isn't an SK site anymore, and it's been there for a long time!) and made that into an HTML file. Also I HTML'ized the espisode guide it make it easier to read. All that's left for me to do is add the links to the image page and HTML'ize the WISKWA. - -- >Jesus Fernandez (A.K.A Mindman, Mindless) Visit my site! @ http://jf9183.home.ml.org http://www.student.toplinks.com/centralpark/jf9183/ ------------------------------ From: Hyenaboy@aol.com Date: Thu, 26 Jun 1997 21:07:40 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Charles Addler Is that Charles Addler doing the bigheads on Rocko?

Not good for me to lurk on my own list, is it? ;-) Actually, I tried to check out the Kats web site (http://www.swatkats.com) and while the server was found, netscape couldn't find anything else on the site (no home page, nothing). Even http://www.swatkats.com/index.html gave the result: /index.html was not found on the server. Methinks something isn't quite right in Megakat City. Somewhat off-topic here: virtual pets, or "tamagotchi" have become really popular here in the US -- they were popular in Hawaii for quite some time, and only recently (the past couple of weeks?) made it to the mainland US. For those of you unfamiliar with tamagotchi (pronounced "tah-mah-goh-chi"), it's a virtual pet that you take care of. If I'm not mistaken, the name comes from the virtual pets initially being chickens (from "tamago", or egg). Now you can find all sorts of other virtual pets besides chickens. Now for the fun part: imagine how much fun these virtual pets would be in Megakat City, especially if they had "virtual kats". See how good a parent you can be by raising your own kitten to kat. ;-) BTW, I'm going to post the July kat-birthdays in a few days. If you want to be included, just email me your birthday (month and day is fine) and I'll include it with my posting. ------------------------------ From: Dana Uehara Date: Fri, 27 Jun 1997 16:48:33 -0700 Subject: ICQ Someone (sorry, forgot who you were) mentioned ICQ, a real-time chat/messaging/file transfer client.
