I wish they could change the time in the US. I did actually wake up to watch it for about 2 seconds, before falling asleep. Not because it was bad or anything, but it's just so darned early. It looks like a good show, I still do want to watch it.

The show is made in 720p, but thus far I haven't seen it broadcast that way. In Canada, we only do 480i. I know there are some CW broadcasts in HD, but I don't want to pay the extra fee to watch my show every week, especially since I have my own HD copies here

Another awesome episode. Definitely enjoyed the action and the hints of what's to come.

My only gripe is with my local CW outlet ... they air the CW4Kids block in 480i resolution, so there's a lot of interlace artifacts. It is probably the format in which they get the block for broadcast, but still.

Was Rollbots rendered in widescreen?

Look on the bright side, if the show ever becomes super popular, it's basically CATERING to the remixes that feature repetition of a single phrase to some techno music.

Oh god, yeah. We had this thing where we were having to pad episodes at animation, and so certain sequences ended up getting re-used. The tragic part was that because of the nonlinear nature of the production, we didn't notice we were re-using quite THAT much until it was too late :

It gets worse with the “I need your transport!” thing in other episodes. God that gag annoys me…

The whole track scene, him practising. The footage is duplicated, except for a couple clips with bots needing help. I love how Tinny seems excited that Spin came close to the record when in actuality he's done the EXACT same thing before.

Exactly. xD

Relatively speaking, I mean.

You mean all the duped lines? Yeah, we're gifted that way.

Actually, in a lot of cases, it was just that there was too much silence going on, so the sound guys added extra lines in post to fill it out. You'd be surprised how many times we can play the same clip and make it seem fresh
