A one hundred episode contract is quite a commitment too. If I am not mistaken contracts are usually for a number of episodes or a season, not the full run of a series, once the show becomes successful then they renew the contract for a longer period. Just to put this into perspective, Star Trek the Next Generation ran for 178 episodes over the course of 7 seasons. A 100 episode contract would be about five years. I am pretty sure this whole thing is fake, do we have evidence that Rick really said these things? Even the thing about the wait for the next DVD being for the format war to end, this is what many have been speculating, but if this had really officially be announced it seems like it would be all over the place.

Of course with the whole 50 episode thing with the CG Clone War thing, I guess I couldn't put it past them to be arrogant enough to think their series could last 400 episodes before ever airing. This series could be great, it could last ten years for all we know, it could have great writing and be nothing like the PT at all. It could have great writers and great actors and be outright fantastic. But this is not the way a TV series is usually done, if this is true it is hard to believe people that have been in this business for so long.
