Incidentally, I should point out that Jaroo "cheated" with Ulysses 31 and Starcom. The episodes are based on the masters for the only R1 DVD releases the shows currently have (and the DVDs have since gone out or print). This is especially the case with the Ulysses 31 episodes, which are the exact same ones on the DVD (I know this because I have the DVD). I also learned that the Starcom DVD only has the first three episodes: the same ones that are on Jaroo, but were uploaded in the wrong order. The worst part? There are currently no plans for the remaining episodes.
I'm really disappointed in Jaroo for this. Even if they didn't think that the viewers (age notwithstanding) wouldn't "know the difference", "actions speak louder than words", as they say. That said, I hope they'll they'll actually upload the reamining episodes of these shows someday; they only had brief runs (26 for Ulysses 31, 13 for Starcom).
Oh yeah, for some reason Ulysses 31 is being referred to on the site as "Ulysses of the 31st Century", which is NOT the show's proper title.
Also, "Knights of the Zodiac"? As in the "everybody else" English version of Saint Seiya (which didn't "dub" all the episodes at that)? That has to be a mistake. Didn't Toei take back the license for that show? I suppose Sailor Moon (the DIC version, obviously) will be next then (and we know that license expired)?...
Oh, and another thing, they don't seem to have plans to add the rest of Beverly Hills Teens either. Also, doesn't Nickelodeon own the U.S. rights to AYAOTD? Further, The Program Exchange currently has the U.S. syndication rights to Carmen Sandiego (also the reason Dennis the Menace won't be coming).
A related question, how is The Busy World of Richard Scarry able to air on This TV, and Cookie Jar Network, much less possibly come to Jaroo? It was co-produced by Paramount Television, so wouldn't that give CBS Television Distribution (it's successor) the distribution rights?
