The toon that won't go away

There's a commercial on Boomerang, the old-school toon channel, for another season of Pokemon. "New trainers! New Pokemon!" Say WHAT? When was the last time anyone bought Pokemon cards? 1996? And this show is STILL on the air? Man, it has managed to outlive even those lousy "Dragonball" series. They're probably still cranking out "Pokemon" because it's unbelievably easy to produce: Ash and his friends visit a town named after a color. They want to earn a badge. Team Rocket tries to ruin their plans. They throw a lot of balls and sick some Pokemon on Team Rocket. Team Rocket loses. Ash and company win. The end.

At least I hope they've really, really, finally pulled the plug on "Ed, Edd, and Eddy."
