How much is Steve's work?
I was jsut curious, the whoel series fromt he lines to the characters to much of hte locations, seems to fit perfectly into the S+M universe (though I agree with somone who said it's a little too clean most places...)
I was wondering if the whole thing was 100% designed and written by TT or if Steve purcell did some of the dialog, design, etc?

Something like the World Largest Ball of Twine was really missing in seasons 1-2...

@vyper: Line it or not they made the right choice demographically, sad to say but S+M didn't have nearly the popularity that power rangers did (if I'm not mistaken it's STILL running somewhere...)
@ murry: Love EWJ to death, still hunting all the eppisodes in whatever format I can, but I msut say animaniacs was amusing too, though the humor was not anywhere near the gross scale of EWJ
@ Zeek: I was acctually a little dissapointed with gargoyles, it had the potential to be a really gritty realistic and mature series and they watered it down to make it more kiddy-friendly. I'd love to see what somone could do remaking it if you slapped an "R" rating on the series...
Here's another screwball, anyone remember "Samurai Pizza Cats"? lots of laughs with pop culture and well all culture in genneral really...
Why do people want to see R-rated versions of everything from their childhood? I think that for its target demographic - elementary school kids who came home and watched the Disney Afternoon - Gargolyes appeared to be exactly what you described - "a gritty realistic and mature series." It was a Disney after-school cartoon show! I don't know how they could really push it from where it was without turning it into something it's not.
... still waiting for that hard-R John Woo directed Darkwing Duck movie.
And nobody got Samurai Pizza Cats during the time I watched it. It was an anime import that knew what it was and just ran with it when appropriate. They didn't try to "respectfully" dub it in English because they knew they had a bomb on their hand as far as domesticating the humor of the show. But, then again, the only other competition it had at the time was Sailor Moon and the first of the three versions of Dragonball, sooooo....
I don't. I just want Disney to give some fan service for once and release Season 2 Volume 2 of Gargoyles and, yes, even Song of the South with a very long explination before the movie to set up the historical and social context of the movie (a la what they did in front of the Tex Avery and Droopy Dog DVDs).
Thankfully, Steve works for a company that has expressed their philosophy on why their family movies are so great. They don't dumb it down for the kids because they know kids are smarter than us jaded adults.
Okay, see this? This breaks my S&M forum cherry. Because while I should really be bulking up on my ASP for a job interview tomorrow, the malignant, dark half of my soul that wants to be a screenwriter now feels compelled to spec this script.
