Green Ball was on the same caliber as the fairy on Nick @ (Or AT) Nite and. uh..................uh.................. What other channel had a quirky yet corny mascot to advertise their channel ?

So it's not really a miss. It was to be had, it worked somewhat for the Two or Three years they had him. But they could've done better. In other words 'Sok
