Note from PAD: This is a somewhat unusual entry. Covering the cancellation of Space Cases, my original draft was somewhat more scathing over the opportunities lost thanks to short-sightedness from Nickelodeon. But at the time it didn’t seem politic since we still had hopes of placing the series elsewhere and needed Nick’s cooperation to do so. So the version that saw print was somewhat toned down and more optimistic. Corey, who oversees these reprints, asked which one I wanted to be immortalized online, and I’ve decided to combine the two for the interest and edification of Space Cases fans everywhere.

I knew Space Cases was in trouble when we went head-to-head with the Super Bowl.
