Last but not least, Road Rovers was a show that WB never expended any effort into whatsoever to market it. There was no merch, no promotion. Much like Freakazoid!, it existed solely to fill a spot for two seasons and to give the animation department (with a constantly changing lineup of animation staff, transient levels of animation quality, and whiskey-tango-foxtrot writing now and again) something to keep themselves employed as the roach-infested building fell into disrepair around them.

But logic would tell you that if they can put out DVD's of such clunker cartoons as Roger Ramjet, Dudley Do-Right and Hulk Hogan's Rock'N Wrestling, then the Road Rovers would have a shot at DVD stardom. However, I really can't see WB doing that.

Although fan pressure brought back both Family Guy and Futurama (Comedy Central is producing 4 movies of them) it is doubtful that it can bring RRs back.

Hate to be the pessimist here, but facts are facts. RR's on TV will be just as extinct as I am......

(Stone Age humor, get it?)

second step: Offer at least half of said money to WB, and hope that they finally sell the rights to a show they refuse to make money on, by even making a DVD release.

step three: Pray to at least five different religions' version of God, that they accept, this time.

step four: If they accept, the other half of the money will likely need to be spent in building an animation studio, preferrably in a right-to-work state, so the Animators' Union doesn't run you out of business.

step five: get investors, pitch the show to networks.

step six: get animating.

I don't think I need to say that posting this idea here won't get some REALLY GOOD FEEDBACK!^-^ I'm still working on how I should set it up, in the mean time to anyone who reads this, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Any questions or comments please feel free to ask. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Sorry for the long delay between posts.

There's always hope. Take it from me. I sell hope in 81 equal parts everyday. Hope is a spring eternal.

However, if WB brought back the Rovers without the input of their creator, it would of neccessity, be a different show. I'm not sure if I'd want to see that, but I'll never say never.

There is another option here, as well. Adult Swin played an episode of Family Guy that was considered too controversial for network TV. Why not ask them to play "A Day In The Life" with the Russian Names song? There are other 90's cartoon properties that CN owns that were edited after production, too, so maybe an "Unedited Episodes" night?

In any event, it's good to be talking about the Rovers again. Hunter, Colleen, Blitz, Exile, Shag, Muzzle and Professor Hubert deserve a better outcome.

EDIT: Just a thought, maybe we can pick up where WB left and make a video game out of this show like a FPS or Action/Adventure. That would own and plus we can take all the characters we love and revive them easily. For example, anyone play Wolfenstein 3d? We can easily make a mod of that game with this show in it. I think that would own so much.

Email me if you have any thoughts or ideas on this amazing show. gaming2go@yahoo.com
