Well, take a look at the new "Spectacularly Stoned Spider-Man" on
KidsWB
this year.
What does that animation cost? $50.00 per episode? It's only barely
up
to the quality of a poor Shockwave Flash animation and the writing is only
up to the level of a 6th grader. They're going to rake in the advertising
bucks until it gets canceled after the 10th episode airs.
