Pokemon has the merchandise to go with it - The Weekenders on the other hand
doesn't and was actually meant to be enjoyable, rather than plugging a range of
toys and computer games.

Unfortunately, Disney are crap when it comes to renewing shows and TW fell
victim to the 65-ep curse. There are rumours circulating that The Weekenders may
be revived, but there's probably more chance of Tony Blair becoming anti-EU that
there is of that happening!

I don't have anything against Pokemon, and we're still awaiting new episodes on
Sky One over here, but unless the show is taken in a new direction, it risks
becoming tired... Like Scooby Doo!
