If any of you were at the live stream of YouTube user's LS Mark's birthday, me, a bunch of users, and Butch Hartman joked about Viacom becoming Hartman. ("I need to buy Nickelodeon to take over the world! -Butch Hartman, 2020).
That gave me thinking, for the longest time, Butch Hartman was this Walt Disney-esque figure to me. He may not of created SpongeBob, but EVERYONE remembers Butch's name, his shows, his style, his crew, and Timmy Turner has a "Mickey Mouse" sensibility (as hinted in the episode "The Good Ol' Days", as well as Mickey's adventurous side when it comes Timmy undoing his wishes). In fact, Butch made numerous apperances over the years, much like the television anthologies of Disney.
I was thinking, if Hartman had his way, could he have fathomed the money to buy ViacomCBS (or just Viacom) to take over Nickelodeon and have it named after him, also cancelling SpongeBob or pushing the sponge aside to make Timmy, Hartman's corporate symbol? Timmy's silly pink hat could be the mouse ears. It'd also make it easier to make a strong competitor to Disney, to have Paramount step up their game (especially with animation. I know Sonic was a start, but, still)
The Redstone fortune would be ousted like the Fleischers.
