I don't know.  I wasn't that impressed with many of the animated episodes.
Half-an-hour just isn't enough time to adequately deal with a problem.  It's
great for sit-coms and the like, but I found the animated episodes didn't have
the depth, primarily because they didn't have the time.

I believe one of the actors commented about when he first agreed, he thought
it was a marvelous idea because they could now have aliens better represented
and you would no longer have to worry quite so much about "We can't do effects
like that on our budget."  If you can draw it, it exists.  Tah dah.

However, he was very disillusioned with the majority of stories that came down
the pike.
