And the 4Kids series later on started to succumb to the same pressures to do this, which is how Fast Forward came into being (and why The Lost Episodes were delayed for some years&mdash;Playmates executives complained they didn't think it would sell enough toys).

As for this particular thread's question, I have no opinion. I am quite aware of the Red Sky Seasons, and the Fast Forward/Back to the Sewers Seasons. What I was trying to say is that most of the time, they put story first before product placement. Viacom, on the otherhand, doesn't follow that rule.
