Talk:Robotech (TV series)

New Marketing Model of 1980s??
The current text says: "North American television debut: Robotech originally aired in 1985 in first-run syndication, meaning it was sold directly to local television stations without having been run on a network first—this was part of a trend in animation in the 1980s...."

But this is not entirely true. A number of animated Japanese series were broadcast in the US in syndication in the late 1960s and 1970 without appearing on one of the prime networks--I suppose meaning NBC, CBS, and ABC. Astro Boy, Speed Racer, Ultraman (live-action not animated), and others all appeared dubbed in English on UHF stations in the US, without network broadcasts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.160.218.42 (talk) 22:37, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Music
The article is missing any information on the music in the original series. Since Minmei's singing was such a central plot point, it would be interesting to know who wrote and performed the music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.154.13.203 (talk) 03:13, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Airings
I used to watch the show on KTEH as a kid--that's how I first got into Robotech. I'm certain they only showed the Macross and Mospeada/New Generation sections, however. Anybody disagree?ProfessorFokker 10:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

European Airings
I'm afraid I have no sources to give at this moment, but I can personally vouch that throughout the 1980s the original Robotech series was aired in Europe (or at the very least in the country of Belgium) through then Sky Channel, a sattelite network currently known as Sky One. 84.192.115.240 12:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Starz and Manga Entertainment's involvement in Robotech
Quick question regarding the distribution of Robotech in the U.S. I noticed after downloading from iTunes, the episode Birthday Blues from Robotech: The New Generation that there is now two production tags, one for Starz Media and the other for Manga Entertainment. Does Starz and Manga now own the rights to the Robotech franchise in the U.S. and if so shouldn't this be included in the article? Also what is Harmony Gold's involvement now is all of this?
