A spin-off of the popular Superman franchise, the half-hour animated series Krypto the Superdog spotlighted the superpowered canine who had been the pet of the younger Superman (aka Kal-El) on the planet Krypton. Sent to Earth as a test-pilot puppy, Krypto (who in this version looked more like a white Scooby-Doo!) landed in Metropolis, where he was adopted by 9-year-old human youngster Kevin Whitney. Although he posed as an "ordinary" mutt, Krypto soon linked up with several other pets with powers and abilities far beyond those of ordinary animals, among them Batman's pet dog Ace the Bathound, and Streaky, the cat owned by Kevin's next-door neighbor Andrea. Also protecting Metropolis were the members of the Dog Star Patrol, headed by Brainy Barker; this aggregation consisted of super-dogs from other galaxies, such as Mammoth Mutt and Tusky Husky. The series' villains included the alien Mechanikat as well as several "domestic" animal antagonists, owned by the traditional opponents of both Superman and Batman: Catwoman's Siamese cat Isis, Lex Luthor's pet iguana Ignatius, The Joker's red hyenas Bud and Lou, etc. Played more for laughs than any previous Superman derivation, Krypto the Superdog joined the Cartoon Network schedule on April 4, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Thirty-three-year-old ad executive Eve Simon (Elisa Donovan) is, to all outward appearances, a success, and a fabulously wealthy one in the bargain. Even so, as she sits alone nursing an expensive drink in an upscale Manhattan watering hole on Christmas Eve, our heroine wonders if it's all been worth it -- and, more to the point, how would her life have turned out had she made different choices. "Wish upon the Christmas star!" advises a philosophical derelict named Brother James (Peter Williams). Eve does just that -- and she awakens, it is 12 years earlier, she's an unemployed 21-year-old living with her parents (Cheryl Ladd, James Kirk), and she's still engaged to Scott (Sebastian Spence), the hometown boy whom she would ultimately dump in her pursuit of a career in the Big Apple. So, will she make the same choices again, or will she follow her heart instead of her head the second time around? Made for the Lifetime cable channel, Eve's Christmas premiered December 6, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A British series that originally premiered September 3, 2001, on Cartoon Network Europe, the animated The Cramp Twins was based on the graphic novels of Brian Wood. The protagonists are a pair of ten-year-old twin brothers, Wayne and Lucien Cramp. The blue-skinned Wayne is the embodiment of evil and self-indulgence, while the peach-skinned Lucien is sweet-natured and a friend of the environment. Our heroes lived in Soap City with their obsessive-compulsive mother and frustrated cowboy dad, while Lucien's best friend, teeny-tiny Tony Parsons, resided in a nearby swamp. The American debut of The Cramp Twins occurred February 8, 2003, on the Fox network. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
