Maybe he'll die soon, and then we can >have a realistic hope of bringing it back. But until...) I freely admit that the show is actually kinda tacky, but that's what I Iove about it. (If you're reading this Nick, that's why I watch Neighbours, too) The concept of the show had the potential to be so much more, and that's the reason that I think the the show was cancelled: some tURNER executive probably saw an episode and brought it to the attention of tED who said something along the line of: "Aw crud!!! I'm not having my name associated with this poorly scripted pile of kitty-litter" and promptly cancelled the series. Those of you who write fanfic have shown us what _could_ have been done with the Tremblay's concept, but sadly wasn't. Realistically, the show will never be successfully brought back; even if someone tries, no-one'll think the new eps measure up to the old; and with SWAT Kats, that's really saying something. Don't get me wrong - I love the show, but it probably won't be remembered as anything special without a major company putting a lot of cash into completely re-working nearly everything about it; even then, invariabley not all of the vocal artists that we know and love would be able to work on it - prior engagements etc. I'm gonna stop writing now 'cause I'm getting a little depressed ...
