I was discuessing on the retro message board, about the history of rock n roll music in animation, and how the Alvin Show and Hanna Barbara cartoons were progressive in featuring rock n roll music in the 60's.

I think someone, maybe VH1 since that is their thing (but they need to rent the rights from other companies especially Time Warner which owns the Warner Brother and Hanna Barbara library, though Viacom owns the rights to the Alvin show) or Boomerang since they own the rights to a lot of cartoons as previously mentioned.

Document the history of rock n roll music, starting with the 60's with the Alvin Show, the Banana Splits, the Archies, Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids songs featured on cartoons like "Makin With The Magilla", "Bedrock Twist", and Jet Screamer.

Than move onto the 70's with Scooby Doo Where Are You! chase music, and the musicans that guest starred on the New Scooby Doo Mysteroies, Josie And The Pussycats show among others.

And move onto the 80's with the Alvin And The Chipmunks revival, Jem And The Holograms, among others.

Than onto the 90's with the Simpsons and their music guest voices among other.

And than so on, to recent shows like Class Of 3000.

I don't know if they would keep this restrictive to western animation, if they include the rock contribution to anime, that would cover a lot. But that would be cool too. But someone with knowledge of anime and Japanese music needs to be involved, or just forget it.
