...And the concept that a popular prime-time TV show that had run its course, or a pop band that had likewise gotten to a certain state of reknown, could have a new lease on life as the basis for an animated version for kids. It's been a very long time since this was common. Home Improvement and The Nanny did animated special episodes during their runs, but there hasn't been any cartoon spin-offs as such. The last pop star cartoon I remember was Hammerman; yes, I know about Gorillaz but I'm not sure they were intended for the Saturday Morning audience.

I'm not sure I'm so much nostalgic about the idea, but it's weird that there is so little in current mainstream pop culture that we can feel comfortable in sharing with the younger set. What does that say about our culture and our mass media's tastemakers?
