I believe the early-morning girl stuff actually got BETTER ratings
than the prime-time boys stuff. It wasn't a significant difference
(1.1 for most of the shoujo vs. 1.0 for most of the shonen), but it
was interesting to note.

I believe ABC's had the #1 broadcast lineup for two years, thanks
largely to its girl-friendly (live-action) lineup. Kids WB has faded,
it should be mentioned, while ABC's ratings have been consistent since
2003.

See above :-)
I tend to believe 4Kids will offer each block as a separate syndie
package. The affiliates will probably choose which lineup they want.
4Kids could always syndicate individual shows, but a package or block
might bring in more money.
Looking at the current library of 4Kids shows, the following have been
E/I compliant in the past:
Stargate: Infinity (!)
Magical Doremi
Back to the Future (or is this a Fox show, not a 4Kids show?)
I forget if [Tokyo] Mew Mew Power was E/I. It had a Captain Planet-
esque conservation vibe going for it once in a while :-)
I doubt any of 4Kids' highest-rated shows (Pokemon, Yugi-oh, Sonic X)
have ever been E/I.
I doubt Dinosaur King ever will be :P
Terrence Briggs, sorry James Vipond ;-)
Peace to you...
