Total Drama Island (Cartoon Network Original Series)

What if "Total Drama Island" was made in the late 1990's, possibly around 1999? Well everything would be turned around, a lot. If it was made in 1999, then Hanna-Barbera, Columbia-Tristar Television, Cartoon Network, and Craig McCracken would work together to create the show. It would run on Cartoon Network from June 19, 1999 to December 28, 2002 with 4 seasons being produced. Season 2 would have "Total Drama Action" where it takes place at an abandoned TV studio, Season 3 would have "Total Drama World Tour: The Musical" where they take a plane around the world with two new competitors Sierra and Alejandro, and finally Season 4 would have half episode counts: "Total Drama Prehistoric Island" where it takes place on the same island from the first season except with dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and there are 13 new competitors competing instead of old contestants and "Total Drama All-Stars" where both first- and second-generation competitors compete against each other.

Series
22 teenagers agree to sign-up for a reality TV show "I Wanna Be Famous", but it turns out that the setting for the season is just an island with no stores, or restaurants. They are then split into two teams; the Killer Bass (consisting of Owen, Izzy, Sadie, Katie, Geoff, Duncan, Trent, Eva, Courtney, Ezekiel and Bridgette) and the Screaming Gophers (consisting of Noah, Tyler, Justin, Harold, Beth, Cody, Lindsay, Gwen, Heather, LeShawna and DJ).

Production for the series would begin around late 1997.
