Americanized dubs are awesome! Did ADV ever do that again?

Did ADV ever give a similar treatment to any of the other 200+ anime series they distributed?

Specifically, I've never seen ANY show get the treatment Super Milk Chan got: A company to completely re-write the jokes (from un-funny to funny), as well as inserting live-action clips around the show for an added element of interest.

Did ADV ever do anything similar with any other shows??

I've been wondering for, oh, about 8 years.

They did something very similar with the anime "Ghost Stories." The original anime was rather run-of-the-mill but I found the completely-re-written dub to be very entertaining and funny.
here's the wiki link for it:

and then there's the more recent dub of Crayon Shin Chan, but I haven't really watched that one

"This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off."

I'm planning on watching those soon. But the thing where they inserted live-action clips of the voice actors on the dvd? I bet THAT has never been done again. Too bad!
