1000 episodes? This news makes me wish my computer could load twitter.

Anyway, I think the 52 episodes is for Japan since a lot of animation-totting networks are cutting back to 11-15 minute show slots. Thus 26 episodes that each run for 20+ minutes become 52 episodes that each run for 15 minutes or less.

Anyway, 1000 episodes would be nice but I hesitant to say that it might be a long shot. Very few cartoons last that long.
