It makes docters and lawers and attorneys (same thing) look intelligent
compaired to what Ted did! Don't be so nice!!!

That's probably it right there. In the U.S. The most violent cartoon not
animated in Japan was Batman (But I detect some anime features about that).
Cartoons over here usually aren't violent, unless the violence translates to
being funny. Since SWAT Kats has humor that is excersized in the real world
and has an anime animation background (it was made in Japan), it corolates
to meaning that Ted finds the realism unorthidox for small children, which
love the violence that SWAT Kats brings.

Translation: Ted thinks that SWAT Kats should be a reminecant of Barney (The
hatable purple !$#_at_head)

But then again, Ted's more out of touch with the world than even I am! Look,
I like watching older television shows, but only the classics. The ones, my
parrents would love to see again. But he puts on stuff even our stupidist
dog, Summer, whines and tries to leave the room when a Turner station is on.
(she usually just lays down and sleeps when the TV's on!)

But you don't get it, do you? Just what event that happens every two years?
What event takes place in the winter one year, and in the summer two years
later? What is everyone looking forward to? What is everyone sponsoring? The
Olympics are taking place in Atlanta, Georga, U.S.A., this year. You can
tell that somehow Ted is involved in the Olympics being held in his
hometown. Somehow he's getting a ton of money over this. Ted isn't losing
anything. He's loosing millions in broadcasting, but is making it up by
having the Olympics in his home town. It's just a hunch, but all the peices
fit all too well.......
