I think it's less that and more like, "I saw this as a kid when I had no standards and thought everything was the best thing ever," and a realization that once older, everything probably wasn't best thing ever.

For me, any cartoon from the 1980s!

We have many subchannels in here. But again, we have the Saturday morning block and a movie shown every Saturday on out MyNetworkTV station. But a station in Central Alabama has the similar thing with ThisTV.
I remember last Christmas period when MeTV aired those good holiday specials at 4am CT until 7am CT before 4 episodes of Green Screen Adventures, but on Christmas Eve, they aired it at night and that's a good timeslot.
Do y'all remember RetroJunk?

Going by what some of the Japanese model kit boxes say, the official romanization is "Cat Ninden Teyandee". "キャッ党" is pretty much just the English word "cat" rendered in katakana but with the last character replaced with a similarly-pronounced kanji meaning "group". I'd liken it to how the word "samurai" is spelled out "SAM-UR-I" (with the dot above the "I" being an eyeball) in the opening of the dubbed version.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of this show and am definitely psyched for the DVD release. I thought it was never going to happen. The fact that they're actually releasing both versions is like a dream come true.

That's pretty much the way I've known it for years anyway.
The English title was a bit clever that way (kinda make me think of the way Urusei Yatsura's title is spelled out the way it is with the one kanji in the middle).

Nice to see they're getting something good out of it on their end.
