Thanks for that. It shows that McDonald's isn't the best option for this partnership, unlike Disney's other prospects.
Speaking of, is the Super Size combo still around at those restaurants ITTL?

Those have been phased out after the Super Size Me movie came out.

After almost 2 years in legal limbo, Del St. Pierre's autobiography Violated finally reaches bookshelves across North America. Her publisher Harper Collins said that the book had been held up by libel cases filed through the Canadian courts by the executor of John Kricfalusi's estate. This month, an Ottawa judge cleared the book for release on the grounds that the public had the right to hear of what Del had to say. Del had stated in previous interviews that the sexual abuse she and her siblings suffered at the hands of Kricfalusi were the basis for the songs in her debut album Childhood Terror, which she released in 1999.

1: Best Terminator news in a while.
2: Look, if we had to replace Alan Young, and David Tennant is unavailable, then Billy Connolly is better than writing Scrooge out of the picture.
3: This means that the Walt Disney lineage is more like the Queen of England than any animation studio head, and that actually makes logical sense.
That would be a nice job, but maybe Carolco's Prime 2, Luxor Pictures' Domino Man 2 (OTL title: Daddy Day Camp) and Golden Harvest's Rush Hour 3 are out!
Tennant is currently working on a new BBC/UPN series and was unable to fit DuckTales into his schedule.
Ah, that makes sense. Maybe fill him in as an understudy for later.
Correct. Except it won't be an Americanized version.
What UPN is doing is importing each new episode to the US about a month after it airs on BBC 1 or BBC 2 in the UK. However, UPN will likely trim out some stuff because of time constraints in the US, mainly shortening scenes that drag on too long, or trimming out scenes that stall the plot of each episode.
So Doctor Who, in its original (though slightly cut) form, will be coming to a major American broadcast network. Cool!
Also, was the original series still cancelled in 1989?

Most of the Doctor Who canon ITTL is the same as OTL. The Americanized Doctor Who with Scott Bakula is no longer considered canon by the BBC due to the backlash from fans on both sides of the pond.
Fall 2001. The backlash earned Scott Bakula the nickname Scott Dracula.
For those wondering about Saturday Night Fever since the 30th anniversary is coming up ITTL and the 45th will be in December 2022 IOTL.
ITTL, the R-rated version came out first in December of 1977. The T-rated version came out about 18 months later due to MPAA rules at the time which dictated that a film had to be out of circulation for three months before an alterate version can be made available. The T-rated version keeps about half of the language and violence, but the rape scene is taken out. In 1980, HBO aired the R-rated version only at night - due to network policy of the era - while the T-rated version ran during the daytime. In the years since the theatrical release of both versions, Paramount has made both available across most physcial home media formats including recent VHS reissues licensed to Limited Run.
How "Manhattan Skyline" became the signature anthem for the NHL in the United States.
Of course, David Shire's "Manhattan Skyline," which was featured in the film's soundtrack, was later used by SBC as a de-facto theme song for the first five seasons of Wednesday Night Hockey (1980-81 thru 1984-85). For the inaugural telecast, which pitted the Los Angeles Kings against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on October 8, 1980, the song was meant to be a placeholder before an original theme could be composed. But the feedback from fans proved positive enough that SBC made arrangements with Shire and his record label to allow the song to be used on NHL telecasts full time for the next five years. Very quickly, "Manhattan Skyline" became synonymous with the NHL among American sports fans. Soon, every ice rink in the States felt the need to keep a record of the song handy for youth, high school or college games. And eventually, kids and adults who played tabletop or bubbletop hockey began humming the song as they turned the knobs. In 1982, Stiga used the song for a commercial for a Wednesday Night Hockey edition of its famed tabeltop games.
In 1985, SBC abruptly retired the song in favor of borrowing music from CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. At the time, SBC cited a larger cultural shift away from disco as the reasoning for the sudden shift. A year later, David Shire sued SBC because the network did not tell him ahead of time that they were discontinuing the use of his song. By 1988, Shire won a settlement in which he could still get the royalties he enjoyed before whenever SBC would bring the theme back for special editions of WNH. In 2006, after years of additional litigation, SBC brought the song back full time to WNH.

With most PBS stations seeking a companion series on the timeslots before or after reruns of The Joy of Painting, they felt the answer could be a show that can teach kids how to draw their favorite cartoon characters. Blanche was hired to be the host after the WGBH Eductional Foundation interviewed at least 100 or more possible candidates from the fields of animation, comic books and newspaper strips.
Joy of paining for animation fans I would watch that how popular is it with teenage boys

If you're wondering about the show's popularity with teenage boys in particular, it's likely those aspiring to be cartoonists. Blanche will usually dress modestly for her on-camera apperance which consists of her sitting at a drawing board similar to what she has at her office at Columbia-TriStar Animation in Hollywood. A simple blouse or polo shirt will do, but on an episode devoted to drawing characters that like to play sports, she would put on her Saints jersey (Drew Brees #9).
If you're curious as to what a typical episode would look like, check out this OTL clip. Keep in mind, there will likely be skits or interviews with other artists from across the industry to help spice things up.

Oh I wasn’t really curious about it but yeah thanks for the information regardless because I was thinking that it would have just been like the joy of painting where she drew cartoon characters
