That was 3 years ago, because it came out on August 7, 2020, not August 7, 2008. Also the start of the seventh season in all, and the start of a new art style!!
Though just saying something about 2008 makes me wish the original series or RA was long running...like The Simpsons, South Park, SpongeBob SquarePants, Family Guy, Teen Titans GO!, The Loud House, PAW Patrol, or the 2022-ended Arthur...
If the OG series was still running in 2008, MSB would've been in its 15th season. Then they probably would've shifted to a 16x9 format with the original series art style (The Simpsons went widescreen back in '09 for their 20th season but still...), and there probably wouldn't have been Rides Again by 2017 (the hypothetical Season 24).
PBS/PTV Park did Not have to do MSB like this in 1998.
