The world of television as I know it keeps falling apart everytime I turn around! It started back in 2006 when the original Yugioh series came to an end. True it was sad, but I didn't let it get me too bad, it had a good run. But that was just the beginning. I then found out that one of my all-time favorite series' Pokemon would no longer be airing on Kids' WB are would be permanetly airing on Cartoon Network (complete with a new cast). At first, I didn't like this change, but I soon got use to it. It really got me down in the mouth when one of my favorite shows 'Zatch Bell' disappeared from the Toonami block. On December 31, 2006, I thought things were looking up when I learned of the upcoming Kim Possible Season 4 (though I did worry about when it ended), but I got depressed when I learned that the former home of Pokemon had changed into a channel called the CW and that the programming block I had watched for more than five years had been reformatted into the CW4Kids (later to be replaced by 4Kids TV). I knew I would be saying farewell to Kim Possible (again), but I didn't realize that Danny Phantom and American Dragon: Jake Long would be going down with her! After that, I soon realized that another of my favorite anime shows "One Piece" would no longer be formatted by 4kids and would dubbed by the same company that did the DB series. I got use to this change as I did with Pokemon, but then about six months ago, it disappeared from the Toonami block as had Zatch Bell. It wasn't until recently that I learned that the famous series would no longer be dubbed in English at all! Also recently, I learned that the final season of Yugioh GX (which I had grown accustom to over the years) was not going to be dubbed (as well as the final episode of Season 3!). But the dark changes of the broadcasting world haven't been happening just recently.The long-time cartoon exclusive channels Cartoon Network and Toon Disney have been airing live-action programming since 2005! And speaking of Toon Disney, that channel can be kissed good-bye soon too. Starting next Febuary, it's going to be replaced with Disney XD, and no doubt we will be bidding a fond so long to many of the programs that station has offerred us for years! As if that wasn't enough, just an hour ago, I learned that the programming block I had watched for more than ten years made it's last broadcast two weeks ago! (though I didn't watch it for sometime because it no longer had the classic programming I loved). I don't know about you guys, but the future of broadcast television doesn't look very bright to me.

It has finally happened. I have become a member at Fafiction.Net! I have already written three fan fics and I think I did an excellent job on them:

1) A Lovers' Swim

The name says it all. Kim and Ron make cooling down hot.

2) Crazy Shipping

Kim realizes she has feelings for her arch-enemy. To those of you who think this is whack, read the fic and get a twist.

3) Three's A Crowd

The most unlikey being in the world becomes Kim and Ron's greatest foe.

I do believe that many of you will enjoy these fics. I have lots more fan fics planned in the future, but I'll let you enjoy these for now. Just so you know, at fanfiction.net, I am known as Eddy13.

Before I get to my main topic, I would like to make a speech (*ducks as they start throwing vegetables*). In 2002, Disney premiered one of it's most popular series, Kim Possible. I doubt even Disney knew what a hit they had at the time. The series had a trio of fantastic heroes, Kim Possible, the main character of the series, Ron Stoppable, her best friend/boyfriend and sidekick, and the remarkable naked mole rat, Rufus. I, among many others, was fascinated by the series and enjoyed every moment of it. The series ran for three years, and after 65 episodes, the series ended with Disney's Kim Possible Movie: So The Drama, in which Kim and Ron's relationship reached it's peak and their friendship became something more. Naturally, fans were outraged at the cancellation and rose up in protest, demanding the series be renewed. Disney complied and produced 22 more episodes. Recently, Disney held a 52-hour KP marathon, featuring every episode and movie made, ending with a 1 hour episode in which Kim and Ron graduate from high school.

With the airing of the graduation episode, the series has once again come to an end. I'm sure almost everyone on this site has seen the season 4 finale of Kim Possible. It does seem to provide a perfect ending for the series, although the same could have been said for So The Drama. I'm sure almost everyone who saw the finale are thinking that the series ended good, others are thinking that it could have ended better, and the rest wish that it wasn't ending. As for me, part of me thinks it is truely over, part of me thinks there is still hope that this series can continue, just like I think there's a chance Danny Phantom and American Dragon can continue. The season four finale left many questions that I want answered:

1) Will Drakken give up being a villian?

2) Will Drakken and Shego get together?

3) How will Ron and Drakken's new abilities effect the series?

and perhaps the biggest question on everyone's minds: What does the future hold for Kim and Ron?

To those who want these and other questions answered, don't despair, for while it looks like Kim Possible has reached the end of the line, hundreds of fans (myself included) are fighting for the series to continue, just like two years ago when the series originally ended. Even as I speak (or write), hundreds of fans are sending letters to Disney. The FFKP won't rest until the KP is renewed. As long as they are out there, it's SO NOT OVER!!!

Last week, I wrote a eulogy for Danny Phantom, this week I'm writing one for American Dragon: Jake Long. When the show first aired in 2005, I found it fascinating. I found many similarities between it and Danny Phantom (with scenarios such "teenage boy with super hero alterego", "secret kept from elders", two best friends who help him save the day", and "protecting the world from dark forces"). I also found it similar to Fairly Odd Parents with the "teacher obsessed with magical creatures" scenario (I wonder if these guys know Butch Hartman). True, there were quite a few episodes that didn't interest me, but I still watched the show. I must say, while season two did show more magic, there were certain qualities I preferred in season one (particularily, Jake's dragon form).

I recently saw what seems to be the series finale, and I found it somewhat interesting. Not to nitpick, but I was hoping more from a series finale. True, Johnathan learning the family secret, Rose recovering her memory, and the Dark Dragon being trapped in a vortex was epic, but the entire format of the episode seems more like a season finale than a series finale. Also, I was hoping there would be a climatic battle between Jake and the Dark Dragon similar to the final confrontation in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows. Furthermore, similar to how I preferred Jake's season one dragon form, I wasn't as fond of the Dark Dragon's season two form as I was his season one form.

I do hope they decide to make a third season. I want to see how Jake's father gets involved in the magical world (similar to how I want to see Danny Fenton's parents get involved in his ghost fighting). Also, I would like to learn more about the origins of the Huntsclan and the Dark Dragon. While it does seem like the Dark Dragon is gone forever (or at least for 1000 years, which ever comes first), there is a chance someone will take his place, at least I hope so. Last week, I wished the Danny Phantom fighters luck, this week I say the same to the American Dragon fighters. Fight hard, Am Drag fans, and there may be a chance that Jake and the crew will return. If it can happen for Kim Possible, there's a possibility that American Dragon can be saved to. Speaking of KP, her series is suppose to end next week (again) with a one-hour finale following a fifty-two hour marathon. Fret not, KP fans, hopefully Kim can be saved again. But I will save that for next week. Until then, adios!

I'm sure many here are aware that a big moment just occured in television history. We have just witnessed what seems to be the end of Danny Phantom. To those who had tuned into Nick about an hour ago, I'm sure you saw what I saw. Here is a small recap: After Danny ruins his latest plan, Vlad decided to ruin Danny's reputation as a hero with his own team of ghost fighters. Frustrated, Danny got rid of his ghost powers. A massive asteroid was released during Danny and Vlad's lastest battle and was heading for Earth. Vlad revealed his ghost-half to the world and would save the world from the asteroid in exchange for total control of the planet. Needless to say, Vlad's plan failed and was abandoned in space by his former friend Jack. Danny came up with a plan of his own to turn the earth intangible with the aid of ghosts from the ghost zone. During an attack on him, Danny's ghost powers were restored. Danny convinced the ghosts to help and the world was saved. Danny revealed himself to the world and (unlike Vlad) was accepted. Tucker became the youngest mayor in Amity Park history (his first official act was to unveal a statue of Amity Parks hero, Danny), Vlad had to get use to living in space (when he was hit by the asteroid), and I'm sure you all saw that things finally clicked between Danny and Sam. I'm also sure that many of you believe this was a great end to the series, while others feel it wasn't grand enough, and more wish that the series wasn't done.

I would now like to give what some of you may considered an obituary. I remember seeing Danny four years ago, and I found it quite fascinating. True, there have been a few episodes that didn't catch my fancy (I'm not going to say which ones), still, I continued to watch the series. A few times, I decided to avoid the episodes, but I eventually found myself watching the show again. I must say I really enjoyed the third season the most, though I do think it was rushed due to Phantomania. It seems to be the end of an era. Now that the final movie has aired, I guess this is farewell to our favorite ghost boy....... or is it?

I know there are many fans out there trying to make sure Danny lives on. I'm sure I speak for DP fans everywhere when I say I wish you the best of luck. There is a chance that Danny can return, I've known many other shows to come back from the grave. Also, I'd like to say that many fans have faith in those fighters that they will succede in their goal. Once again, good luck and best wishes to the Danny Phantom fighters. Many fans are rooting for you and know you won't rest until their favorite ghost returns! LONG LIVE DANNY PHANTOM!!!

Next Week: My salute to American Dragon: Jake Long.
