Robotman?

Anyone remember Robotman? Daily comic, used to be published in one of the papers here.

Went looking for it today (I was subscribing to a bunch of comic emails, so I don't have to read the paper :-) because I hadn't been following it in a while. Turns out the reason I hadn't seen it in a while is because it mutated back in 2001 and is now called Monty. WTF? How can a cartoon continue when it's lead character is kidnapped by aliens? Smacks of jumping the shark to me.

Ok, so, there are probably more important things going on in the world that I should be spending my outrage on :-)

Damn it! When I read that wiki article, I thought the shark had been penned in... as in, done in pen! Giving my imagination a delightfully tacky 80's video clip feel.... but on looking it up on youtube (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MpraJYnbVtE) I now realise they meant penned... as in, surrounded by fencing!

Oh how great an icon for a declining TV show a penned in shark would have been! Couldn't you just imagine it!
