The original G.I. Joe cartoon is great, there is nothing wrong with it so Hasbro should just re-air those over and over again. Children today don't need a new cartoon if the original cartoon was great. If they don't want to watch a 25 year old cartoon, they don't need to watch G.I. Joe and Hasbro should just create an entirely new toy and cartoon for new generations and let G.I. Joe wither away.

Because they can. Because it will make money. Bottom Line.

because I want one. I'd love it if it had the animation style of the old sunbow cartoon. I won't hold my breath but it would be awesome.

This shouldn't take long. Do I have time to pop some popcorn?

Are you out of your mind??? Of course they should make a new cartoon. However, they should replace all the joes with ewoks and all of the cobras with inanimate objects and overdub all the dialog with chirping crickets. I can't believe with your intellect you could not reason this out. I'm losing faith in you...

Because name brand recognition is key. Why make something completely new to attract just the kids when you can make something new with an old name and not only get the new kids, but their parents as well. They tried this back in 1982 with a little toy line called GI Joe and it seemed to work well.
But since you asked about just the cartoon, here's a better reason.....so they can sell th enew toys. They're not selling the old toys, so why show the old cartoon. TV Shows (and more importantly, commercials) are just there to sell consumers stuff. Anyone who thinks TV is for entertainment is just delusional |

Maybe because they've lost the trademarks to too many of the names, they have to use new characters they have trademarked??
That or they know if they show the old cartoon, kids will want the toys. Then Hasbro would have to **gasp** make a new Skystriker mold. And we know they don't want to do that. |
