Disney Afternoon vs. Tiny Toons.....

Wow...I loved The Disney Afternoon as a kid, but that's a horrible presentation. The whole argument seems to be an attempt to "prove" Tiny Toons would be irrelevant because the old Bugs Bunny cartoons weren't as widely syndicated as Ducktales and Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers.
But that makes no sense. It would basically be like looking at how widely distributed Disney's old Donald Duck/ Chip & Dale cartoons were, and using that as a barometer for the "relevance" of Ducktales and Rescue Rangers. That's a deeply cynical attempt to undercut Tiny Toons before it ever got a chance to prove itself, and one that would have sunk Disney's entire afternoon block (which consisted of re-branding characters who had lost exposure and relevance to kids over the decades) if the same logic had been applied.
Not only that, but they spelled Talespin wrong.
I wonder if Disney outsourced this report to some half-@ssed third party company. It really seems unworthy of Disney.
Fortunately, The Disney Afternoon and Tiny Toons both did very well for themselves. (Although I think Tiny Toons struck a network deal with Fox Kids at some point, while TDA was always purely syndicated.)
