Well, from their point of view, they have *NOTHING* until Fall 96. If
you were them, wouldn't you finish the last three eps at least? Even if
it's just to get H-B/Turner through the next year until the "Jonny" premiere?
The new spots are puzzling, but the "They're coming" bit likely refers to
something a Turner spy related earlier about a "product tie-in with a
major retailer" - the likes of which I have no info on. It's been
suggested that Turner may want to continue with Kats now that the
"expensive elements" (Tremblay bros, background dept, and design team
members up for a raise) are no longer in the loop - and that it would
take on almost a post-Spumco "Ren and Stimpy" flavour. I'd rather see
the Kat guys die on their feet than live on their knees.
