That wasn't meant to come off as sounding unfair, so please don't take it that way. When I like a cartoon or even when I'm just plain bored, I look up into the extra details about shows and find out about dumped plot ideas or scrapped seasons or extra stuff no one really knows about.
That's how I found out about the 4th season for Darkwing Duck and even a possible crossover between him and Rescue Rangers. It's in those areas of information I find fans of the show sharing similar feelings of anger that they see what shows are replacing them. I simply refer to people I have talked with.

What I said about Pepper Ann was a mistake if it came off me hating the show in and of itself just for being a "replacement". I never liked the animation style from the get go, but I don't knock something unless I have at least tried it to some extent.

I know it's a business first and foremost but it's the kind of business that others can get attached to, and that's where the fans come first in my opinion, simply because you are making something that carries signifigance to them. A good cartoon show is far more valuable then any paystub if you ask me.
Money comes and goes, quality TV that sticks with you the rest of your life is hard to come by. And I never said
stay disappointed, but disappointment doesn't hurt to be expressed even if it was a long while ago. Recent events or situations can always stir up memories you never thought you'd bring up again.
I am glad that they existed. But being a writer and someone who constantly can't help but imagine about the possibilities of any person, TV show, band, movie, comic book etc. One can't help but wonder if the thing or person you lost might have been capable of so much more then you expierenced.
I'm not saying let it consume you, and I'm not saying dread and mope about it the rest of your life, I'm just saying it's worth thinking about what could have been.
