	20 Years Later: The Legacy of Star Blazers by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		With interest in space operas high from the monumental success of "Star Wars" the year prior, Westchester Enterprises and Claster Television saw that the market was ripe for "Yamato" and purchased the syndication rights for the first two series in 1978.
		Part of this was due to cultural differences between Japanese and Western audiences, resulting in Claster Television having to make a number of judgement calls during the rewriting and re-editing process.
		This latecomer was not translated for Western audiences until 1985, and due to lack of funding and interest, the quality of the dubbing and writing was disappointingly inferior to its predecessors.

		In addition, the opening credits note that the show was "developed for television" by Peggy Nicoll, and, actually, that credit is shown twice on the screen, and that is a production error (you have a piece of information that you can use in a trivia question some day).
		Beast Wars: Transformers, which was completely done in 3-D style, began to be shown in syndication in September 1996, and it was part of the "Power Block" of programs from Claster Television (by the way, the series was known as Beasties in Canada).
		The next answer focuses on "Adam Goldberg," who has been a co-producer on a television series this season, and "Adam Goldberg," who has been actor in a television series this season, and the answer is really a two-part answer--covering Still Standing (for the co-producer) and Head Cases (for the actor).
