"Rocket Power was inspired by our kids, who of course are grown now and interested in extreme sports, skateboarding and Roller Blading. I grew up close to Orange County [Calif.] beach towns where surfing was, and still is, very popular. Even though that culture has evolved, it's sort of the same kids who hang out and are the coolest and most relaxed," she says. "So there's this sort-of cool culture going on that most people aren't privvy to."

"The main thing missing from cartoons is today that old cartoons were cartoony. They did things you can't do in any other medium. Today's cartoons are very conservative and are more like live action. The characters look the same in every frame of the dang cartoon. The old cartoons squashed, stretched, and did crazy expressions. They were imaginative and crazy. A lot of cartoons aren't imaginative, they just say things. It might as well be radio. There is no point in having anything to look at in modern cartoons. But you can't say that about every cartoon. [Genndy Tartakovsky's cartoons are beautiful. The closest thing now to what I'm saying is SpongeBob but even that doesn't go very far. It's like a conservative version of Ren & Stimpy."

Orson: Well, it's not a joke about being short, Booker; it's a joke that is short. Roy: (entering with Bo) But couldn't you do a short joke about someone being short? Bo: You could even do a long joke about someone being short. Roy: Then that'd be a long short joke! Orson: Enough already! A quickie is a joke that's only 45 seconds, and it's-- Sheldon: (entering) Time's up! Wade: (as the camera fades out) Shucks! I never found out what a quickie was."

"MAA: You were uncredited for some of your work on The Six Forgotten Warriors storyline. What did you think to Electro becoming an all-powerful God in the show, as opposed to the underachieving supervillain in the comics?"

"When he’s in Peter mode, I wanted to emphasize the youth and insecurity and wonder. When I was in Spider-Man mode, I wanted to emphasize the push back of the heroic nature and the will asserting itself to overcome these obstacles the character has."

"Spider-Man was different from other shows I worked on primarily because of the birthing pains. There were lots of people who had a say in what the show would be like, and none of them seemed to agree at the start. A draft of a script might please one of the producers, but then the network would hate it, and vice versa. There would be seemingly endless re-writes. Most shows have problems like this at the beginning, but this was the most extreme instance I've seen. And it was a bit of a surprise, too, because the comic was so explicit; you'd think that everybody would know exactly what the show should be, down to the smallest detail, based on the template that Stan Lee had laid out years earlier in the comics. But if it hadn't been John Semper's considerable diplomatic skills, the show might still be in pre-production."

"The character that stood out most to me was Jameson. His hatred for Peter and Spidey was so pathological; I eventually came to the conclusion that Stan was trying to say something about anti-Semitism - which wasn't just confined to Germany when Stan was growing up. Obviously, that's all subtext, but it explains a lot of things."

"Everybody - producers, network, writers, artists had a different conception of the Venom story; it took a half-day-long meeting with everyone - Avi, Stan, the network rep, the supervising producer (Bob Richardson), John and me, before a storyline could be settled upon - and that was just for the first half hour of the three-parter."

"I remember on Kraven that first season that Avi and Sidney really wanted some advanced stuff in there quoting of Russian poets and things and I think that ended up staying in. I just wondered why the biggest hunter in the world was named Kraven which, of course, means cowardly."

"BS & P, as they're affectionately known to writers, can make some things literally impossible. And most people outside the industry don't know what power they have. For example, I get some fans who ask why we didn't do this or didn't do that. As much as I wish they would, it's EXTREMELY rare for a large entertainment conglomerate to give 15-20 million dollars to a writing team and say "here's a pile of money and some comic books do whatever you want." To them, it's an investment. And BS & P functions sometimes very autocratically to safeguard their investment. They want to prevent anyone from suing for anything. Their big bugaboo is imitatible acts. For example: why didn't we use Ghost Rider? Because we all, as writers, hated the character and are afraid of motorcycles? No, BS & P forbade us from using a character that was ON FIRE. They were afraid little Johnny five-year-old might douse himself with lighter fluid, strike a match and ride his big wheel down the driveway shouting "Lookie, I'm the Ghost Rider! I'm cool! I'm melting! Owie 'MOMMIE!'" No joke, they worry about that stuff. I say: Darwin, but that's why I'm not a lawyer. Same with, initially, Daredevil one of my favorite characters. "We can't have Satan on our cartoon show" they said. We had to explain that he's not THE devil, he's a DAREdevil. Well, he has little horns. Can you take off the little horns? Can you make them look more like ears? He's got those red, evil eyes." It's stuff like that that makes you want to pack-up your laptop, move to a cabin deep in the woods and write thousand-page manifestos against the "moronic imbeciles.""

"I think the fact that it's still playing in syndication and that the videos are still selling after all these years shows how well it was done. Those stories hold up very well because of their intricacies and the series as a whole holds up because it lets you imagine yourself with Spider-Man's kind of problems: I've got school and a girl and some homework but I have to save the world!"

"Sure, the supervillain fights are fun, but really it's the soap-opera of Peter Parker's life that keep the audience invested in the character. Will Harry ever forgive him for stealing MJ? Will Felicia marry the Hobgoblin? Will Anna Watson ever get off his back? That's the good stuff."

"As for Hydro Man, it was a long time ago, but I think we weren't allowed to use Sandman, because he was going to be the villain in the Jim Cameron Spider-Man movie that never happened. So, John just substituted Hydro-Man. I kind of hoped the fact that he went to prom with Mary Jane made him slightly more interesting. (Total aside: Hydro-Man has Mary Jane meet her at the Hotel Seville, which was where I lived when I went to NYU. Now you know.) And the Spot? Well, I think we introduced him just to make an excuse for those interdimensional portals we used over and over again in lieu of killing people. He was such a silly character, that the only thing I remember about writing that was trying to jam as many puns off the word spot into the script."

"I think Stan Berkowitz and I just wrote it as though Cletus Kassidy was a serial killer and just never mentioned what he was wanted for. The cops certainly acted like he was a serial killer, they just didn't specifically say, "Boy, that Kassidy is one bad serial killer.""

"Stan's concept for Spider-Man was more reality based than the Batman material with a real student, quite poor and down on his luck, living with his Aunt in a real city � New York. It grounds this character so well with a contemporary audience, that when he goes through this life changing event of accidentally acquiring superpowers, the audience can relate to him even in this extraordinary circumstance. In theory, it could even happen to them. Even the super villains are more interesting, when they are placed in a realistic city environment. So this was the key to the direction we would take in developing the style of the show. Spider-Man would be designed to be more realistic than Batman and in an environment that was more authentic and as contemporary as possible. Consequently, it was a lot harder to achieve, because doing reality in animation on TV budgets is no easy problem. The drawing and design skill as well as the animation expertise is very demanding with less room for error. We also did quite a bit of research to make sure that New York City was as accurate as we could make it."

"By the time Spidey came on, there was a LOT of censorship at Fox. They were having whole countries like Canada ban some of their shows (Power Rangers, for instance) and they were very nervous about violence. When I watch the older episodes of Batman that first aired on Fox, they do all kinds of things that we couldn't do. By the time Spidey came on, Fox wouldn't let us do anything like that. No fists to the face, no realistic guns, no fire, no crashing through glass, no children in peril, no mention of the words death, die, or kill.""

"Spider-Man was doubly hard because of all the pressure in the beginning. Not only is the character a flagship one for Marvel, but there was that pending Jim Cameron movie hovering over us. Also, Fox was the number one kids' network and they wanted nothing less than a huge hit. The result: the stakes were so high that everybody was already at each other's throats by the time I signed on. The political atmosphere was very tense."

"Mary Jane was never the real issue in Peter's life. Peter's insecurities were. And once those are fixed his problems, as a character, and as a hero in the Joseph Campbell tradition, are over."

"I knew that we were finished with 65 episodes, but I thought maybe we'd have a little bit longer. I thought I made it very clear at at the very end that he was going to get to Mary Jane. I was leaving that door open in case by some miracle they said we were going to do a few more."

"I didn't know if I'd last long enough on the series to actually do it. And the way we did it, with the whole John Hardeski thing, didn't really occur to me until much later. That whole sub-plot that linked her to Captain America and the Super Soldier Serum was completely my idea and I'm damned proud of it. I always though that having somebody project 'bad luck' on somebody else as a 'super power' the Black Cat's super-power in the comic books, was ridiculous. Doing the Super Soldier Serum thing got us into a much deeper, richer storyline, which is what I had to do to keep the series unpredictable and interesting."

"I always prefer story arcs and I think individual half-hour stories are dull and predictable. I originally had planned a season-long story arc for season one, but I was prohibited from doing it because others had agendas that needed to be served first. Toys needed to be featured (those hideous Spider-Slayers), certain characters needed to be rolled out and introduced (the boring Hobgoblin) and so, in season one, I was limited in the things that I could do. When season two began, I had total control over the storylines and as far as I'm concerned, that's when the real fun of the series gets going."

"For me the real fun of Spider-Man is the soap opera that goes on in Peter Parker's real life. The villains are mostly interchangeable. There really isn't much difference between Sandman and Hydro-Man when you get right down to it."

"I can still see the light in Avi Arad's eyes every time he said the words "Spidahhh-Slayahhhh!" It still haunts me in my nightmares."

"The Kingpin was a major villain in Spider-Man during the 'sixties when I first became a fan of the comics. I never intended for him to be so prominent in my series, but as the story arcs got developed, we needed a mastermind quietly manipulating things behind the scenes and he seemed the perfect choice. Also, he doesn't really have any interesting ability to speak of (okay, he's strong - big deal), so if you're going to use him at all, it just makes sense to use him for his mind. He's like Professor Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes stories. He's constantly lurking invisibly behind the scenes, but his presence is always felt."

"The show was intended by Avi Arad from the ground up to be one big toy commercial. At first, I had to battle against that and things between us were very tense. At one point I was almost fired. Eventually he and I found common ground and he realized that a great show would sell toys better than anything, and I really wanted to make a great show. So we had fewer confrontations. But, from his point of view, it was still one big toy commercial. The toy line definitely affected me. It was common for me to get a phone call from Avi’s people asking me to use a certain character because they were going to make a toy out of him. But they were nice about it, and, I’m actually fairly accommodating, so we always managed to work it out. And I also affected the toy line. Avi was dead set against using Madame Web, but I insisted because I saw a place for her in my big final story line. So, despite his mumblings and mutterings about how he couldn’t make a boy-friendly toy out of a "lousy old broad", I used her with great success. And, guess what? They made a toy out of her! It’s one of my most prized possessions."

"My goal with Spider-Man was to be make the very first screen treatment of the character that was absolutely true to the comic book. I also wanted to bring him to screen in a way that evoked the same sense of wonder and excitement that I felt when I first started reading the comic in the sixties, right when it all began. I also wanted the show to be a ratings hit, to not embarrass me, and to piss off all my detractors. I’m happy to say that I succeeded on all counts."

"I felt very restricted by the half-hour format (which these days boils down to only 22 minutes of ACTUAL screen time) and I had always wanted to play around with something longer. In the sixties, when I first became a hard-core Spider-Man fan, part of the charm of the series was that the stories went on forever. Stan Lee was the first to do a "longform" comic book with a continuing story line, and I wanted to do for Saturday morning TV exactly what Stan did for comics in the sixties. Everybody was vehemently opposed to the idea (network, studio, etc), but I just did it anyway. I had to wait until the second batch of thirteen episodes and then I did it when nobody was paying much attention."

"I think that the whole 'Green Goblin' saga was about as good as it got when Stan was writing the comic book series," said Semper. "It was intriguing, surprising, dramatic, exciting - everything I wanted my Spider-Man series to be. I remember reading the whole thing breathlessly when I was a kid. It was incredible. Why wouldn't I want to recreate that? I'm not a big believer in messing with something that's already 100% right. My ego isn't so big that I'd want to tinker with it and make it 'better.' God save us from all the 'creative visionaries' in this business who want to make things better."

"As it was, there were still plenty of unsold Hobgoblin toys on the shelves at Toys R Us that Christmas. Even with our two-part episode, nobody really liked the character that much."

"My favorite part is when, after Mary Jane's 'death,' Peter has his mask off and is standing on the bridge, thinking and looking down into the water," said Semper. "It's almost a full minute or more of just interior monologue - more like Japanese anime than anything American. No corny action, no villains, nothing. When was the last time you saw that on Saturday morning TV, huh?""

"For me, the story was about an epic kind of coming-of-age of Peter Parker, and when he got to the point where he could turn to his creator and say, 'Well, I'm really not the guy you created anymore. I'm somebody else now. When he gets to that point, I kind of felt like the epic hero's journey was over for him."

"Coming at it from an adult perspective, that, for me was, enough finality. I felt like I had done the whole hero's arc for Peter. But unfortunately, that's a very adult way of looking at things. And really, I momentarily forgot that I was catering to kids, and that they wanted to see if Peter got the girl. Yeah... so I left you all with a horrible feeling of incompletion."

"I used to tell my writers, 'We're doing the Peter Parker show. We're not doing the Spider-Man show. Let's approach it from Peter's life. Spider-Man is just one of the many complications with his life.' And I think that's one of the reasons why the show is still resonating with people…it's not about explosions and superpowers and costumes."

"It's showtime!"

"Hi, how are ya?"

"Hmm, something's rotten in the Neitherworld... (smells himself) besides me."

"(Disguised as a witch) Fellow babes! I just flew in for the ball and boy is my broom tired! But seriously I'm gonna liven up this party if it kills me, again!"

"(After going through a car wash) Lyds, I'm... clean! AAH!"

"I can't believe it! He [Doomie] didn't cheat! Oh, where did I go right?!"

"It's Good Neighbor Day and the law says everyone has to be... NICE!"

"Don't ya hate it when that happens?"

"The last laugh, you know I love it!"

"Now I can go back to being as gross and disgusting as I like!"

"Moral dilemmas, you know I hate 'em!"

"If anyone thanks me again, I'll SCREAM!"

"(asking the audience to give him their money) Come on, it's for a good cause: ME!"

"Low ratings, you know I hate 'em!"

"Now here's something you don't see everyday."

"So long, suckers!"

"Whoa! So that's why cowboys have bow legs."

"Hmm... uh, listen, Lyds. I got to go. I, uh, have to feed my fish... to my piranha! Ha! Squeeze ya later."

"So, c'mon, kid. Get on the ball."

"Responsibility, you know I hate it!"

"Look, I've got a problem, maybe you could help me out. I've got these friends I said I'd meet and it's the kind'a thing where I got to be there in person…"

"NO! I'VE BEEN TURNED INTO A LEAN, MEAN, CLEANING MACHINE! HELP!"

"Check this out... a mid-summer night scream."

"Oh, that Claire, she really gets my dandruf up."

"She's got to be outta my mind by now."

"Hey, they can't keep us apart."

"Got you, babes!"

"Hey, now, wait a minute! This skunk really bugs me."

"Rule number one for pulling pranks without getting caught is... be invisible!"

"What? How come you always think I have somethin' up my sleeve?"

"Oh, the magic B-word! Say it again. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon... I dare ya!"

"Now all I need are some cute little suckers to sell my cookies to some big dumb suckers!"

"When I get my hands on that cricket, IT'S SNACK TIME!"

"NO! (when asked if he ever changes his underwear)"

"HEY, BRAINLESS! OVER HERE! (to his body while his head is separate from it)"

"We're gonna take our cause to the people! And not just for the people. We'll take it to the downtrodden! The vegetable! The mineral! The disgusting! The failed science experiments! Four-legged creepies! The birds! The bees! The trees! The knees!"

"Not yet?! We're already halfway through this story, and you still haven't introduced the bad guy!! (when playing Captain Ahab in Moby Dick)"

"I know! Couldn't they find a better picture [for my wanted poster]? I'm smiling!"

"(to Lydia) Babes, his music stinks worse than I do! (smells himself) Well, not quite."

"Not only will I be revered, I'LL BE FILTHY, STINKIN' RICH! As opposed to just being filthy and stinkin. Heh heh heh.."

"Deadly Vu!"

"Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!"

"Alright, Beetlejuice, what' s the scam?"

"(referring to Delia) Dad and I are the only ones who like her art-and I'm not too sure about Dad!"

"Do I have to join the Neitherworld club?"

"I'm gonna spook Beetlejuice with the ultimate scare scheme! As soon as I can think of it."

"Hey, that's not a good idea, BJ."

"They're wrecking the whole house! Duck!"

"They say 'practice makes pukey'!"

"Beetlejuice! I've never seen you look this bad!"

"Come on, you guys. There's no monster in this tree. That's just a story the kids in school made up. This is a great tree. I love this tree."

"Beetlejuice, Father was half-asleep... thank goodness."

"That isn't funny! That tree is alive... and those men are going to kill it!"

"Miss Shannon, can I be excused?"

"Beetlejuice, have you seen a doctor about this problem of yours?"

"Romeo, don't step on my spiders!"

"I'm really babysitting now... AND IT'S NOT WORTH TWO DOLLARS AN HOUR!!"

"You like it!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Charles!"

"Rubbish! Don't be such a stupid baby, just eat your soup and then you will be excused."

"Why Charles! Whatever is the matter?"

"Really, Charles. I suggest you phone a proper repair man."

"That's Beetleman, Dear. I'm taking your father for a nice, relaxing walk. Now, don't you bother Mr. Beetleman."

"Well, pay the man, Charles."

"What is that thing?"

"Lydia, dinner!"

"Lydia, go to your room, right now!"

"Sweety, I'm home."

"Being nervous makes me nervous!"

"It's the whole darn town!"

"Monitor Head 2: What do you mean commercials can't be released on the video unless you are the one with the people's voices!"

"Monitor Head 1: I'm not a fat looser like you!"

"Monitor Head 4: It's all about ratings."

"All Monitor Heads: Get a move on!"

"Yuk! That's Disgustin'!"

"Did I win or did I lose?"

"Nyah - ha - ha - haa!"

"Oh No you don't! You will not turn me into warewolf!"

"That blonde haired ghoul is gonna cut off my head."

"That wasn't very cute!"

"Wanna buy some cookies!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Hello Mon Ami, ya lookin' for a nice preeetty girl?"

"Ooh La La! Look at that preeeeeetty looking ladeeeee!"

"Sacre Bleu!"

"Alouette jogging Alouette..."

"Are you Beeeeetlejuice?"

"It is 'azar-dous to your 'ealth."

"Hey, kids! Are we gonna have some fun?"

"Okay, boys and girls, are we ready for some jokes?"

"Whoa! That's the hottest cold I've ever seen!"

"Food fight!"

"Hey, what happened?! I hope it was funny! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"Hey Beetlejuice! Your burgers are so bad, they oughta be spanked!"

"What is your favourite color? Tell me!"

"Huh! Is my name Lipscum spelled backwards Mucspil?"

"What is your name? Answer me!"

"Hey. Beetlejuice spelled backwards is Eciujelteeb!"

"Can I huh? Can I Can I Can I?"

"Ba dum-bum!"

"Arrrr! Look who what we've got, Ed."

"Cross the river bridge, mate."

"What do you mean the library's closed?"

"That's not funny, Claire."

"Uh, does this mean we'll be closing the play?"

"You're getting dangerous, kid!"

"But Lydia, I think you should try out for the part of Juliette."

"Miss Shannon! I don't feel so good."

"I've always wanted to be a rock star!"

"Relax, Bertha. You know why Miss Shannon wants you to do homework."

"Looks like the best girl won, honey."

"I am going to get that Lydia Deetz."

"Uh, like, it's about time! You are ten second late. Now, get lost!"

"Shut up! I am not a sore loser."

"Well, you can find yourself another Julia."

"Like, aren't I just the most?"

"What kind of a name is BEETLEJUICE?"

"I mean, really have you ever heard of such a ridiculous name as Beetlejuice?"

"Like, thanks for the invitation, Lydia. Perhaps the ingroup and I will drop by your party early, for a good laugh."

"Anyone who isn't in your group."

"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeowwwwwwww!"

"All right, girls, our very first science fair today. Guess who's forgotten."

"Can I help you, Prudence?"

"Now off to your classes, ladies."

"I want you to keep staging it the rest of the week, just as you did it last night."

"Okay, girls, we're going to have show and tell."

"How improper."

"Bertha, I am not satisfied with you. You did not share with any of your friends."

"Beetleguts! You're fired!"

"Would you please stand on that X over there?"

"Oh, all right. You're free to go… as far away as possible!"

"What are you, some kind of sicko? We can get rid of this disgusting creep forever."

"If you do not follow those rules, I will let you get away from the Neitherworld forever!"

"Miss Shannon! Somebody is bothering me!"

"What's so funny?!"

"Stop laughing! That's ridiculous!"

"Prudence, of course it'll be scary. It's Lydia's party."

"Miss Shannon! Can I wash my hands please?"

"Put a sock in it, you idiot!"

"Is there anything new other than comic books?"

"Someone used this ruler to throw your beehive on stage."

"They're here to save the world again!"

""'Trust me', he says. Ha! I'd sooner trust a vampire to give me a shave". ~Simon"

""Looks like the Ultimate Warp brought us the ultimate wimp!" ~Simon"

"Kevin: Your powers don't scare us! Dracula: I'm so happy to hear that. You know, fear makes de blood taste terrible."

"Kevin: Stay close. I think the bridge goes this way. Lana: What if you're wrong? Kevin: Then we'll be getting some free skydiving lessons - parachutes not included."

"Simon: (under the effects of a love arrow) How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One is for your little button-nose. Two is for your cute little twinkle-toes. Three is... Mother Brain: Enough! I want the truth this time! What is your real plan? Simon: All right, I'll tell you. My plan is to hug and kiss those cute little wrinkles on your brain!"

""It's a good thing for you I'm an animal lover. Now scoot, before I change my mind and make fur underwear out of you". ~Simon, to a lion"

"Lana: Some guide you are. Simon: An honest mistake. Mountain lions are related to dogs, you know. Lana: They're related to cats. Simon: Ah-ha! I always suspected Duke was part cat."

""I didn't save you. I saved him. He gets awful indigestion from eatin' strangers. Keeps me up all night". ~Bayou Billy"

""Oh, he's probably just feeding the alligators...with himself". ~Simon"

""I'm gonna scramble your eggplant when I get my gloves on you!" ~King Hippo"

""If you promise not to eat me, I'll take you to Captain N!" ~Simon"

""Let 'em go, or there's gonna be french-fried eggplant and hippo burgers for everyone". ~Kevin"

""Toro! Toro! No, I mean Hippo! Hippo! Olé!" ~Simon"

""Hey, it's either that or go back home and clean up my room". ~Kevin"

"Lana: That's not fair! Donkey Kong weighs more than you!"

"Mother Brain: Quick, get me the second Sacred Treasure! Eggplant Wizard: Yes, your wrinkledness. Mother Brain: Never say the word "wrinkles" to me! These are beauty lines."

""Hmph! I could have done better, and I don't even have a body!" ~Mother Brain, after Lana wins the diving competition"

"Simon: But Medusa's even uglier than Mother Brain! One look at her face turns a man to stone! Kevin: Look on the bright side, Simon. You'd make a very handsome statue. Simon: Oh, yes! I would, wouldn't I?"

""Uh, on the other hand, why worry about a neck when you've got an entire body to think of?!" ~Simon"

""Well... this doesn't look so bad. But that does!" ~Simon"

"King Hippo: Ooh! That's hot enough. Simon: What's that? Still too cold?"

""Don't worry, Princess. I got to be Game Master by learning from my mistakes". ~Kevin"

"Mega Man: There's no time to waste! We've got to mega move it! Kevin: Well, I wouldn't call hugging a princess a waste of time."

""What perfectly dreadful statues. Medusa has lousy taste in art". ~Simon"

"Mother Brain: Metroid mirror on the wall, am I the cutest of them all? Mirror: Princess Lana is the cutest chick. You're so ugly, you make me sick! Mother Brain: What do you know, twerp?! I will be the most beautiful woman in VideoLand! And you, Eggplant Wizard, are going to help me do it. Eggplant Wizard: M-m-m-me? Mother Brain: Yes, you! You can start by making me an apple! Eggplant Wizard: Uh, ah, whatever you say, Mother Brain. Magic words with which I grovel, make this brain a big juicy apple! (He turns Mother Brain into an apple.) Mother Brain: You idiot! I don't want to be an apple! I want to have an apple! Eggplant Wizard: Cool off, Mother Brain, or you'll became a baked apple! I can turn a princess to a pumpkin, a prince to a ham on rye; turning you back to normal is as easy as apple pie! (He turns Mother Brain into an apple pie. She grabs Eggplant Wizard and shakes him.) King Hippo: Hey! You look pretty tasty, Mother Brain! Can I have a slice? Mother Brain: Shut up and change me back!"

"Kevin: What have you done to the princess?! Mother Brain: What's the matter? Don't you like fairy tales? You remember this one. The beautiful princess eats the poisoned apple and falls into a deep sleep. And the handsome prince - ha! I suppose that's you - has to wake her out of the spell. Kevin: It's also the one where the prince destroys the ugly witch, isn't it? Eggplant Wizard: That's the one! Mother Brain: Shut up, you mental midget!"

""You couldn't even wake up a frog with a kiss like that!" ~Simon"

""I'm doing this for your own good, Captain N! Rescuing princesses is a man's job! (Duke growls at him) Shut up". ~Simon, after trapping Kevin"

"Kevin: Simon! Don't just sit there like a Thanksgiving turkey! Gimme a hand! Simon: Yes, well, I'd love to, but I'm tied up at the moment."

"Guard: Halt! No one enters Castle Ironspire and lives! Kevin: But we're prepared to pay. Guard: I don't accept credit cards! Kevin: How about gold and jewels? Guard: Well... why didn't ya say so? Go right in and make yourselves at home."

"Kevin: I don't get it! It's not working! Simon: Maybe it's my breath."

"King Hippo: Hey, egg-breath! You're paddling the wrong way! Eggplant Wizard: Uh-uh, you are! The island's behind you! King Hippo: Then let me sit over there! I get seasick ridin' backwards! (stands up) Eggplant Wizard: Wait! You're rockin' the raft! (They fall off the raft.) YAAHHH!!! See what you did? King Hippo: Aw, shut up and swim!"

""If you're trying to scare me, you're doing a good job!" ~Simon"

""If we get out of this, remind me to have my Zapper waterproofed!" ~Kevin"

""All right, you deadbeat! You can squeeze me! You can choke me! You can shake me! But mess my hair? No way!" ~Simon"

"Mega Man: Dr. Right, are you sure you can trust that mega rat? Dr. Light: There's good in everybody, Mega Man. You just have to look for it. Kevin: Yeah? Well, Wily does wear a clean lab coat!"

"Kevin: You'll pay for this, Dr. Wily! Dr. Wily: Sorry, Captain Numbskull. I left my wallet in my other lab coat."

""Let's make a run for it! Uh, on second thought, let's run away from it!" ~Simon"

"Kevin: Sorry if I upset your cat. Lana: But I don't have a cat."

"Lana: What do you see in the mirror? Simon: You mean I'm a Prince Charming? Lana: No, Simon! I mean you're an arrogant, self-centered egomaniac! Simon: I'm that good, am I?"

""Abandon ship! Women and Simons first!" ~Simon"

"Kevin: Hey, are you guys all right? Simon: Yeah. We're in hamburger heaven."

"Mother Brain: That's it! I've found Captain N's weak spot. King Hippo: Uh, you mean he's afraid of rats?"

"Kevin: I learned this recipe from my uncle Lenny back in New York. Trust me princess, this is gonna be the coolest thing you ever tasted. Lana: What exactly is a pizza? Kevin: Oh, this is no ordinary pizza, it's a Captain N Special. N for nuts, N for nectarines, N for nachos... (Duke grabs the pizza) And N for "No"! Lana: I think you better rename it the Duke Special."

""What a shrimp! And every shrimp needs a shrimp salad!" ~Eggplant Wizard"

""Yes. Well, it was very nice of you to drop by. Do come back and visit us soon, say, twenty years?" ~Simon"

"Simon: Stand back. Simon Belmont will take care of this deadly beast! (pulls out a golf club and gets ready to hit the lizard) Kevin: Don't you think that's the wrong weapon for the job? Simon: You're absolutely right. (throws the golf club aside, pulls out a rocket launcher, and points it at the lizard)"

"Simon: (as the baby dragon licks him) Knock it off! I'm not your mother! Kevin: No, but you probably smell like her."

"Kevin: I'll see what the lightning bolt can do. Simon, you try on the armor. Simon: But I look awful in gold!"

"Eggplant Wizard: Forget the food! This is the chance of a lifetime! King Hippo: FORGET THE FOOD?! Eggplant Wizard: Don't you get it? If Link and Zelda are coming here, there won't be anyone left on Hyrule but their flunkies! King Hippo: They'll give us food? Eggplant Wizard: No, banana brains! The alarm's been turned off! We can steal the Triforce for ourselves! King Hippo: Then we can make Ganon's servants give us food!"

""Oh, boy! Next to vampires, dragon-hunting is my favorite sport!" ~Simon"

"Lana: But Simon, that's an ironing board. Simon: Yes, and how appropriate for flattening my competition."

"Simon: Who am I? Kevin: You're Simon Belmont, the vampire hunter. Simon: No, no, I'm definitely not him. I'd never forget a name like that."

""Thank you, Captain M. And thank you, Kid Licorice, Mega Mutt, Princess Lea, and you too, Puke". ~Simon, after getting amnesia"

"King Hippo + Eggplant Wizard: The stains of brains stay mainly on the veins. Mother Brain: I'll stain your brains if you don't get yourselves to Kongoland now!"

"Lana: We've got to get to CastleVania before it's too late. Kevin: Yeah, but Simon isn't ready to handle the Count yet. Simon: Don't be silly. Of course I can handle the count. Watch me. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Need I go on? Kevin: No. That was terrific, Simon. If there's a math quiz on CastleVania, I'm sure you'll pass."

""The worst part about being a handsome hunk of hero is having to get up early to save the day". ~Simon"

"Simon: Stop! I belong in the jungle! Kevin: You belong in a cage, maybe, but not the jungle!"

"Simon: Hey, cut it out. That tickles. Lana: What tickles? Simon: Well, there's a little fish nibbling my toe. That's a naughty little fellow. Simon says stop tickling my toes. (The Swamp Creature pops out.) Oh, I didn't mean it. You can tickle them all you want."

"Kevin: Better buckle up, dudes. I don't have my driver's license yet. Simon: You what?!"

"Eggplant Wizard: Watch where you're stepping! That's my nose! King Hippo: Hey! Get your leg outta my bellybutton!"

"Eggplant Wizard: Don't shoot! I've got a wife and two baby eggplants at home. Kevin: Don't worry. I'm not gonna fry any eggplant. Just flowers!"

"Kevin: Looks like Mother Brain's world is finally brain-dead. Lana: We've done it! VideoLand is free at last! Mega Man: No more mega monsters attacking in the night! Pit: No more battles to the maximus! Simon: And best of all, no more waking up early!"

""Good-bye, Captain N. Good luck. Um... must've gotten some flower pollen in my eyes". ~Simon"

"Mother Brain: As judge, jury, and executioner of VideoLand, I charge to all with conspiracy... to bring peace and freedom to everyone! How do you plead? Lana: Guilty... and proud of it. Pit: That goes for me too-icus. Mega Man: I agree. Simon: Uh, me too. Mother Brain: Order in the court! Eggplant Wizard: Uh, I'll have an eggplant sandwich. Uh, hold the pickles. (Mother Brain bangs her gavel) Okay, okay, uh, I'll hold the pickles! Mother Brain: Will you shut up?! I hereby sentence you to banishment into the Black Hole Warp Zone! Lana: The Black Hole Warp Zone?! Oh, but no one's ever come out alive! Mega Man: The gravity's so great, we'll be squished to no bigger than a grain of sand! Simon: How dreadful! None of my clothes will fit. No! I'm too handsome to die!"

""No, I can't lie anymore. That's not the way it happened at all! Captain N is the real hero. I'm just a big-mouth!" ~Simon"

"Mega Man: Uh, I guess, now that you're back, Your Majesty, you'll be showing all of VideoLand's mega villains who's the boss. Mirror King: I'll do better than that. I'll invite them all to the party!"

"Mega Man: Oz? I never heard of that warp zone. Where is it? Kevin: Uh, in a fantasy land called Hollywood. If you ever visit my world, I'll take you there."

"King Hippo: But it's dangerous in [the Palace of Power], Mother Brain. Eggplant Wizard: Yeah! They eat eggplants for dinner!"

"Game Boy: Ready for disposal of defective unit. Eggplant Wizard: Disposal?! No way! Her Ugliness wants to play some games with your brain! Game Boy: I am programmed to play games! Eggplant Wizard: Hey! Be careful! I'm an eggplant, not a squash!"

""No! Stop him! Eggplant, Hippo, grab that stupid mutt! He's pulling the plug on my beautiful plan!" ~Mother Brain"

"Kevin: Well, I'm pullin' the plug on this joker until we decide what to do with him. Simon: I know. Let's lock him up in a closet and throw away the key."

"Dragonlord: Get away! Get away!"

""It's always Captain N! He's the cause of all my troubles! They're right, though. Unless I can get rid of that pesky Game Master, my spring offensive will fall flat on its... face". ~Mother Brain"

"Bigtime: Look at my credentials. Bigtime Brannigan comes with an efficiency rating of 100%! Mother Brain: True. You are one of the best bounty hunters in the force, Bigtime. Most impressive. Bigtime: The best. Zoomer: That's not what I heard. There's a rumor-- (Bigtime fires at Zoomer.) Woo! Bigtime: I do so hate unsightly lint."

"Samus: Now... get out there! Kraid: Are you kidding!? They'll catch me--I'll be sent to solitary confinement for a month! Samus: A month in solitary or a month in the hospital... it's your choice."

""What kind of guy do you think I am?" ~Kevin to Samus"

"Kevin: I'm going. Samus: Princess Lana would not want you to go. Kevin: Of course you'd say that. You... like me. You want me to stay. Samus: True. But if I were the Princess and you left the kingdom defenseless in order to be with me, I would despise you."

"Zebes Security: In Mother Brain's name, has your mission been accomplished? Have you obtained... the item? Merchant One Captain: The "item" is intact... of course. You think we'd show our faces here without it? Zebes Security: Good point!"

""Guess it's time to take a bite out of crime. Boy, crocodile sure tastes awful". ~Kevin as Duke, on biting one of King Hippo's cronies"

""Yuck! Some things taste even worse than crocodile". ~Kevin as Duke, after biting King Hippo"

""So, Mother Brain, what hologram are we going to hit them with next? Giant lizards? Snapping turtles? Vegetable peelers?!" ~Eggplant Wizard"

""Welcome, Game Master--whichever one of you that may be! Heh-heh!" ~Mother Brain"

""Too bad, Captain. I was going to save you for last, but first come first serve!" ~Mother Brain"

"Kevin: Computer! If Tall, Wet, and Ugly over here isn't an enemy... then she won't mind turning over her weapons! Mother Brain: Put down my... weapons? Why, of course! I'll be delighted to turn over my weapons. Kevin: Is that all? You must be traveling light today."

""I gave my word to Kevin to protect the Princess. I do not understand why he is so interested in her well-being - she's not half the hero I am! Still, I shall protect her..." ~Samus"

"Lana: What a dismal place... Guard: What did you expect, the Pleasure Zone?"

""Hold me, Kevin. Hold me until forever comes again". -Samus"

"Three is a magic number, Yes it is, it's a magic number. Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity You get three can't you see it's the magic number."

"The past and the present and the future. Faith and Hope and Charity, The heart and the brain and the body Give you three as a magic number."

"A man and a woman had a little baby. Yes they did, there were three in the family, And that's a magic number."

"My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero, But till you came along, We counted on our fingers and toes. Now you're here to stay And nobody really knows How wonderful you are. Why we could never reach a star, Without you, Zero, my hero, How wonderful you are."

"What's so wonderful about a zero? It's nothing, isn't it? Sure, it represents nothing alone. But place a zero after 1 And you've got yourself a 10. See how important that is? When you run out of digits, You can start all over again. See how convenient that is?"

"Elementary, my dear, two times two is four. Elementary, my dear, two times three is six. Elementary, my dear, two times four is eight. Elementary, my dear, two times five is ten.Two times one is two, of course. And it must occur to you, You get an even number Every time you multiply by two."

"Two times ten is twenty, eleven twice is twenty-two, Double twelve that's twenty-four, thirteen twice is twenty-six, Fourteen twice is twenty-eight, fifteen twice is thirty, now you're buildin' up on thirty: Sixteen twice is thirty-two, elementary. Seventeen twice is thirty-four, elementary. Eighteen twice is thirty-six, elementary. Nineteen twice is thirty-eight, elementary. Twenty twice is forty, and it must occur to you, You can double any number, all you do is multiply by two..."

"Forty days and forty nights, Didn't it rain, children? Not a speck of land in sight, Didn't it, didn't it rain. But Noah built the ark so tight, They sailed on, children. And when at last the waters receded, And the dove brought back the olive tree leaf, He landed that ship near Mount Ararat, And one of his children grabbed Noah's robe and said "Hey Dad, how many animals on this old ark anyway, huh?""

"Now Miss Simpson said... She teaches school, you know - Yeah, she took us there. Well, Miss Simpson said - If we counted every head on these quadrupeds, Then multiplied that number by four, We'd know how many feet went through the door, If we turned 'em all loose. Oh no, don't do that! It's really a groovy zoo. But, anyway, what Miss Simpson said, It was a good chance to work on our fours in our head. One, two, three, four!"

"Multiplying by five is a little like countin' by five. In fact, if you counted along on your fingers as you counted out loud by fives, your fingers would tell you how many fives you've got."

"I got six. That's all there is. Six times one is six, one times six.He got six. I put mine with his and we got twelve. Six times two is twelve, two times six."

"Now you can call me Lucky, 'cause Lucky's my name. Singin' and dancin', that's my game. I never did a whole day's work in my life, Still everything seems to turn out right. Like a grasshopper on a summer's day, I just love to play, And pass the time away, 'Cause I was born 'neath a lucky star. They said I'd go far."

"Remember Lucky Seven Sampson, that's my natural born name. If you should ask me again, I'd have to tell you the same. You'll wake up tomorrow, you'll be glad that I came 'Cause you'll be singin' one of the songs that I sang. So keep a happy outlook and be good to your friend, And maybe I'll pass this way again. Maybe!"

"Figure eight as double four, Figure four as half of eight. If you skate, you would be great If you could make a figure eight. That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself."

"Number nine will put you on the spot. Number nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot. When you're tryin', Multiplyin' by nine, You might give it everything you've got And still be stopped. If you don't know some secret way you can check on, You'll break your neck on Naughty number nine."

"Now the first thing to keep in mind, When you're multiplyin' by nine Is that it's one less than ten. You see, nine is the same as ten minus one. So you could multiply your number by ten, And then subtract the number from the result, And you'd get the same product As if you'd multiplied by nine And you knew it."

"Good, good, good, good, the good eleven, yeah It's almost as easy as multiplyin' by one. Good, good, good, good eleven. (Mmmm) Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun."

"Some people get up at a quarter till seven, Other people lie abed till 8:45 or nine. But I'm happy just to hang in there till eleven, 'Cause eleven has always been a friend of mine."

"Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd also have 12 toes or so the theory goes. Well, with twelve digits, I mean fingers, he probably would have invented two more digits when he invented his number system. Then, if he saved the zero for the end, he could count and multiply by twelve just as easily as you and I do by ten."

"Well every person you can know, And every place that you can go, And anything that you can show, You know they're nouns. A noun's a special kind of word, It's any name you ever heard, I find it quite interesting, A noun's a person, place, or thing."

"I get my thing in action (Verb!) To be, to sing, to feel, to live (Verb!) That's what's happenin' I put my heart in action (Verb!) To run, to go, to get, to give (Verb!) (You're what's happenin')"

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses. Conjunction Junction, how's that function? I got three favorite cars That get most of my job done. Conjunction Junction, what's their function? I got "and", "but", and "or", They'll get you pretty far."

"When Reginald was home with flu, uh-huh-huh, The doctor knew just what to do-hoo. He cured the infection With one small injection While Reginald uttered some interjections. Hey! That smarts! Ouch! That hurts! Yow! That's not fair givin' a guy a shot down there!"

"Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Yow!) or emotion (Ouch!). They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong."

"So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Awww!), or frightened (EEK!), or mad (Rats!), or excited (Wow!), or glad (HEY!), an interjection starts the sentence right!"

"Got home from camping last spring. Saw people, places and things. We barely had arrived, Friends asked us to describe The people, places and every last thing. So we unpacked our adjectives."

"Adjectives are often used to help us compare things, To say how thin, how fat, how short, how tall. Girls who are tall can get taller, Boys who are small can get smaller, Till one is the tallest And the other's the smallest of all."

"We hiked along without care. Then we ran into a bear He was a hairy bear, He was a scary bear. We made a hasty retreat from his lair, and described him with adjectives."

"Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here. Got a lot of lolly, jolly adverbs here."

"An adverb is a word that modifies a verb (sometimes a verb, sometimes) it modifies an adjective, or else another adverb"

"Now, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, And I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo That followed Rufus home And now that kangaroo belongs To Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla. Whew! I could say that, but I don't have to, 'Cause I got pronouns, I can say, "HE found a kangaroo that followed HIM home and now IT is HIS""

"You see, (uh) HE, HIM, and HIS are pronouns, Replacing the noun Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla, A very proper noun. And IT is a pronoun, replacing the noun, kangaroo! (How common!)"

"If she found a kangaroo I would say SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home and now it is HERS, but I can't say that... 'cause she found an aardvark."

"Now I could say that Rafaela Gabriella and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo found an aardvark, a kangaroo and a rhinoceros. And now that aardvark and that kangaroo and that rhinoceros belong respectfully to: Rafaela Gabriella Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sasparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo. *whew!* Because of pronouns I can say, in this way: WE found THEM and THEY found US and now THEY are OURS and WE're so happy! Thank you Pronouns!"

"This is the tale of Mister Morton. (Mister Morton is who?) He is the subject of our tale. And the predicate tells what Mister Morton must do."

"And on to Concord marched the foe to seize the arsenal there you know Waking folks and searching all around 'till our militia stopped them in their tracks At the old North Bridge we turned them back AND chased those Redcoats back to Boston town."

"And the shot heard round the world Was the start of the revolution The minutemen were ready, on the move Take your powder take your gun Report to General Washington Hurry, men, there's not an hour to lose."

"From the shot heard 'round the world To the end of the Revolution The continental rabble took the day And the father of our country Beat the British there at Yorktown And brought freedom to you and me and the U.S.A.!"

"In 1787 I'm told Our founding fathers did agree To write a list of principles For keepin' people free."

"She's been to the Sun, it's a lot of fun, It's a hot-spot, It's a gas. Hydrogen and helium in a big, bright, glowing mass. It's a star, it's a star! So Janet got an autograph!"

"Mercury was near the Sun so Janet stopped by, But the mercury on Mercury was much too high, So Janet split for Venus, but on Venus, she found She couldn't see a thing for all the clouds around. Earth looked exciting, kind of green and inviting, So Janet thought she'd give it a go. But the creatures on that planet looked so very weird to Janet, She didn't even dare to say hello."

""It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "Why, it must be a UFO!" But it was Interplanet Janet. She's a galaxy girl, A solar system Ms. from a future world She travels like a rocket with her comet team And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen."

"We can stop paying income tax, But they might send me to jail. And if we don't pay the mortgage, Then they'll take our house; Then where would we get our mail?"

"If not for all these bills and taxes, Our income would more than suffice. I feel like a real big cheese Until everybody takes a slice!"

"Well there goes my allowance. I didn't plan ahead. I made some bad choices, and I compared prices too late. I guess I'll have to find a way to earn some more. But that shouldn't be too hard. Maybe I can do an extra household chore; Like wash the car, Or mop the floor, Or maybe help clean up the back yard."

"I still get seven-fifty once a week. But now I learned some money management technique. And I can save enough To buy some real cool stuff. And I made my little fortune so to speak, On only seven-fifty, once a week. That's my allowance. Seven-fifty once a week."

"PD: If I had to differentiate between [Batman and Superman], I'd say Superman is sort of about hope. You've got this guy who's an alien and not truly human, but he personifies all the best qualities of humanity. He's sort of an example of what it would be nice to be like. We would all like to be like Superman. We would all like to have power, compassion, the ability to settle problems in a good way, and maybe [be able to] wink to ourselves about how nobody else besides us knows we really have this secret power and we keep it ourselves. There's not a lot of angst with Superman. If there is, it's more like, "I wish I could tell Lois who I really was." Batman is how you'd like to be if you [could] break someone's neck: "I'm pissed off, and I want to go out and do something about it." Superman waits for trouble to happen, and then he goes off and stops the problem. Batman's looking for trouble; he doesn't really start it, but he's out there looking. And if he sees something going on, he just jumps into the middle of it."

"PD: When Tim Burton's Batman came out, that was the way to go. Now Joel Schumacher's Batman is out there, and people are flocking to the movies, so they"re saying, "Can you lighten up the show a little bit? Can you have more fun with it?" So that's what we were charged with doing, and that's what we've done: to lighten up the color palette a little bit, so that every character's not just in dark colors. Robin, for instance, is now black, red, and gold, instead of green. Nightwing is black and a light, almost iridescent, blue. We've also given it a little more of a kid-friendly look."

"The thing with the Batman show—even though it's one of the most beautiful and well-written shows, and it really gets into Batman—is that it doesn't really move that fast. The fight scenes aren't that intense, and it doesn't really go actiony. There's a lot of walking and talking in it. It looks great, but it needs that kick of having action. And I think that's another thing that kids are picking up on: For the first time, you're actually seeing superheroes really fight bad guys. In a lot of the cartoons when I was growing up, like Super Friends, there was no fighting of bad guys. They would just get sent off to jail. It was wacky, it was silly, it wasn't intense, and there wasn't real fighting and stuff in it."

"I was very moved by Goliath. I was moved by playing him. They're not displaced citizens but they are citizens from another time and another place that were placed in this modern context and maintained that integrity."

"...kind of namby-pamby... with all that Celtic fantasy crap."

"There were obvious themes, like “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Themes of overcoming prejudice, bias, etc. There were themes about immortality, themes about integrity. These are all things that mean something to me personally. But I also don’t like to get bogged down with questions of theme too often. I like the characters to live and breathe and tell the stories they want to tell. We can figure out the theme later. This is even truer for me now than it was then. Back then, I’d use those one-word episodic titles to help me keep focused on an episodic theme, because I was told over and over how important that was. Now, when a network executive asks me about theme, I have to be careful not to roll my eyes."

"Diversity was always important to me, but working on Gargoyles was where the problem of a lack of diversity in cartoons first sort of crystalized for me.

"Cal Dodd: I'll never forget one day with Norm Spencer, who was Cyclops. Norm and I decided that when you could get an extra part in an episode, it was great, because when you can get another line as another character, you got an extra half of what they paid for Wolverine. So there was always competition. There's an episode where Wolverine is playing pool and a bunch of punks came in. For one of the voices, the director said, "Does anyone do Jack Nicholson?" Of course Norm puts his hand up right away. And I just looked at him and said, "Really?" So they let him read. Then I said, "Can I read this line, too?" I don't remember the line, but it was like, [doing a Nicholson voice], "I wonder if this is as good as it gets." Norm just went, "bugger off!" I do a great Jack Nicholson and no one knew that. I got the line."

"Q: What was it like saying goodbye to this show?"

"Eric Lewald: Haim Saban didn't own any of the property. He was getting a fee. Whether we spent $1 million making an episode or $200,000, he was getting a certain fee. If the budget went up, it came out of his pocket. So, from the beginning, he was looking to economize. Fox wanted the shows to be glorious and Marvel wanted them to be glorious. Saban was going, "I know you want a great show, but I'm not going to lose money on this thing. Let's keep costs down." For years, his reaction to just about any creative decision was, "What's that going to cost?""

"Will Meugniot: There was merchandise threat that almost shut down the production. They had made a deal with a fast food franchise to do some X-Men giveaway toys in Australia. And whoever had negotiated the deal had promised the Australian food franchisee that those toys would appear in the show. They were some of the most God awful designs possible. So I said no, and the situation festered for a few days. At home one night I got a call from Jim Graziano, who was the head of Graz, the production company I was working for. Jim just said, "Look, Marvel is threatening to pull the show from us if you don't cave on this." He goes, "If you think it's important, we'll back you. But think very carefully, because there will probably be consequences." I said, "We can't cave on this, or we are going to have to cave on everything." And Jim backed me and it was a really tense few days and we prevailed."

""X-Men" is different from most animated action adventure shows you may have seen or written. It is more about the lives of our characters -- heroes and villains alike -- than ingenious plots or non-stop, death-defying physical jeopardy. It's not important whether or not a bad guy succeeds in blowing up the Pentagon. What matters most is how Wolverine deals with the pain of losing a friend while trying to stop it. Use plot to showcase character, not the other way around. Which is not to say that "X-Men" will lack action, pace, or intensity. We want these shows to move fast and be dense with dramatic crises. Action scenes will play like "Terminator 2" on speed. But more often than not the crisis is personal, not physical. Think of the famous Star Trek scene where Kirk has to let the woman he loves get killed for the sake of future lives. There was matchless dramatic tension created by a man watching a woman slowly walking across a street. The drama was inside the character. "X-Men" is a show of grey areas. We understand most of our villains, even sympathize with some. X-Men victories tend to be mixed blessings and are never achieved without a loss of some kind. "Good guys" fight each other, have bad days, and are capable of being petty and intolerant. One might even leave the X-Men in disgust and join the enemy. Through it all, however, our X-Men distinguish themselves by maintaining their values of friendship, loyalty, and personal sacrifice. Whatever the cost, they must do what must be done."

"We always get crap out here when we're doing shows, 'This is for boys. Don't have any girl characters.' Margaret was probably the main reason. It was her show. Storm and Rogue's toys didn't sell as well. [Usually] they would tell you no matter how good Storm is in the episode, the toys will sell half as many as the male characters. But it was a time when there were no toys selling well for Marvel. We didn't have the pressure from the toy companies."

"The robots’ destructive power also made it easy for X-Men: The Animated Series to sidestep broadcast censors. “Thank God for Sentinels, in terms of action, what action we can have,” Julia Lewald says. “If action’s going to be big, it’s going to involve Sentinels getting bits torn off and thrown about. You couldn’t do that with living things on the shows.” There were times when the networked tugged on the show’s reigns; When the writing process found itself rubbing shoulders with the L.A. riots, Fox made requests to scale back any script containing city-in-flames set pieces (despite the animation process taking nine months). Eric Lewald adds, “The rules for Saturday morning are so restrictive that to make something intense, with a lot at stake, and people who really wanted to slaughter each other … it was a real balancing act.”"

"Eric: There were no trades. I didn't know about the Phoenix Saga. There was no book compilation of it. The way I handled it, was through the help of Mark Edens and Michael Edens, my two writing partners since college who were a third of the writing staff on the show (20 credits, much more uncredited). They sat down with Julia and me at our dining room table, sometimes with producer-director Larry Houston on the phone (Larry knows the characters inside and out - great guy) and we figured the first season out. We went through all the characters and their relationships. For villains, we focused on sentinels because they were animation friendly and destroyable. Being a kid’s show, we couldn't even scratch actual people."

"Eric: We had to introduce them, which is hard to imagine now. We had to introduce what a mutant is to an audience between the ages of 4- and 40-year-olds. Why are the people together? What's their problem? Why X-Men? What are they fighting for? Why aren't these other mutants with them? Why are some mutants against them? That's why we chose to focus them on fighting intolerant people and having more human problems than the books, which were much more fighting against super-villain of the week. We were learning it too. We’d highlight what it meant to be a mutant and why they'd chosen to be X-Men and through doing that we kept putting them up against more bad people than bad mutants."

"Eric: To be honest, Stan wasn't that involved. Marvel told me he hadn’t been involved in the books for 20 years. This was 1992. The books had changed a lot in two decades. Most of the X-Men were different (thanks, Len Wein, and Chris and John). Still, Stan wanted to be more involved, and he was close friends with Margaret Loesch, whose baby this was. Stan loves to be involved creatively. He wants to be part of everything. He's an indefatigable, voracious guy. He never stops. He's 93 (94?) now, and he hasn’t slowed down. He's intense. The problem with us was that when he had done the book in 1963 with Kirby, it was about "extraordinary youngsters!" To us, that was like a Pat Boone record, when we were trying to do metal / rock. I was told that he never liked the direction that the books had gone since 1975, and since we liked the newer books, he fought us on the tone and direction of the show."

"Eric: There had been dozens of X-Men team members by 1992. Which of them do you pick? People don't understand that some of that evolved as we wrote it. Beast wasn't going to be part of the team. The reason we put him in prison in the beginning was so that we wouldn't see him for seven or eight episodes and there would be a reason for it. And, by the time we got to the end of the first 13, we loved writing for him so much; he became part of the team."

"Eric: The money and the interest and the people all seemed to balance. As the years went on, from the late 90's into the early 2000's, for whatever reason, the money for shows kept going down. Even X-Men was a low to moderate budget show, half of what Batman was. It was still expensive compared to many of the modern simpler animated shows. To make X-Men look as good as it did took a lot of effort. More and more people stopped doing ambitious shows. We tried to pitch ambitious shows. Production companies would look at the scripts and say, screw this, we're just going to have a couple of close ups and be out of the scene. The money went down. Now it's become more affordable and people are making more spectacular animated shows again. So, there's money again for quality action-adventure shows."

"Lewald: We were completely aware of how different X-Men:TAS was regarding women. First, the series existed because Fox Kids Network president Margaret Loesch willed it into being. Second, everyone on the creative side had been working in the TV animation business for years, and we were tired of putting up with its many stupid, constraining rules, one of which was that in “boys’ adventure” series, the audience is almost all boys and they won’t watch female heroes. No one was consciously trying to make stories featuring the female characters, we simply were trying to tell the most intense stories we could – and it happened that half of these featured the women. We could have tried making the team eight guys and a girl (as other TV networks probably would have insisted), but that just weakens the stories, limits variety, and is just plain stupid. Looking back, it seems that few series have followed our lead on this. Even the X-Men movies, which I respect and enjoy, have seemed to had trouble featuring the women as action heroes central to the stories. Storm and Rogue were our two most powerful X-Men: not in the movies."

"Dar: I’d be remiss if we didn’t discuss writer Len Wein who recently passed away and not only helped redefine the X-Men but also created everyone’s favorite Canadian mutant, WOLVERINE! What kind of influence did he have on the animated series?"

"Eric & Julia Lewald: While we’re proud of many of the episodes, I think adapting “Days of Future Past” and “The Phoenix Saga” for television were among the biggest challenges, since X-Men fans had preconceived ideas about these classics. The pilot story, “Night of the Sentinels,” was a real challenge, since we had to introduce this strange world to an audience, 90% of whom knew nothing about it. “Nightcrawler” dealt with faith in a way we’d never seen on Saturday Morning TV. And “One Man’s Worth,” my favorite of our dozens of original stories, was so satisfying that Marvel used it later as the basis for “Age of Apocalypse.”"

"AiPT!: I’m curious about Jean Grey’s role on the series. While her Phoenix storylines dominated season 3, she was less prominent in the show’s early episodes. Was there a reason why she took a backseat to other characters early on in the series?"

"Q: I read that you guys were fighting executives about dumbing down and goofing up X-Men: TAS. Can you recall more vividly some of the more ridiculous requests you got, and how you had to defend your vision?"
