So! Sometime in the next twelve months! I bet they'd print it in really small type if they could get away with it! (I shouldn't be bitter; at least the ending'll see the light of day. And it got billing over Johnny loving Test!)

I'm kind of lukewarm on that list in general, but after reading that Beware the Batman description I'm legitimately mad that they cancelled Brave and the Bold for that.

flipped through the channel guide to see they were showing "Nick News" on Nickelodeon tonight, I then was curious to google the show itself and if any other kids my age (90's era) were kind of annoyed to have their cartoon viewing interrupted in favor of some news special.. ...and I'll be damned, the first thing that came up was some thread at IGN she apparently posted in, and then kind of owned all the posters in. My respect for her went up two folds, and now I feel bad.

Upon reading up on the Linda Ellerbee IGN thing (combined with the fact that she even put a shoutout to them in an episode about, appropriately, cyberbullying as proof it was really her), I too am part of the "Linda Ellerbee is awesome" camp. Especially when she wrote stuff like this:Linda Ellerbee posted:Now, as for the recent thread entitled "Linda Ellerbee sure is a fat, disgusting skanky ho," I want to point out that you are a bully. Also, you have an unfair advantage, as you know what I look like, whereas I've no idea what you, who hide your hurtful words behind little postage stamp characters and funny names, look like. But never mind. You're young. Maybe you'll grow some human kindness. Or at least some more brains. I am overweight, true. Am I disgusting? A judgment call. Same with skanky. HO, I am not, unless you consider all writers to be HOs. Still, it has the feel of calling someone a poo-poo head. My four-year-old grandson does that. I suspect you have much in common.

I just read that in her voice, it's hilarious! Seriously, Linda Ellerbee is a national treasure, what is wrong with some people?

So now we've lost Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated, Tron Uprising and Young Justice. I'm going to miss Young Justice and Tron Uprising most of all. At least Gravity Falls is still around... right?

Cartoon Network posted:Clarence: From creator Skyler Page, Clarence is a new original animated series about an optimistic boy who wants to do everything. Because everything is amazing! Clarence was conceived as part of the shorts development program at Cartoon Network Studios. Guys, Skyler Page is the dude who made Crater Face, that short about the two moon pimples who fall in love with the help of a spaceman. This is a good announcement!

Surprised Mystery Inc. is still alive. It got marathoned and burned through a while ago. That and timeslot fuckery are classic cancel signs. Also new PPGs look like crap. Well at least we got new Bats.

Sad to hear about Young Justice. A friend and I were having fun marathoning it  I kinda am intrigued with the new PPG though if only cuz I get a Wind Wakery vibe off the style/coloring there.

The problem with shows that just get canceled is there is no conclusion, like with tron. I remember when teen titans got cancled because of the no more than 5 seasons rule. I understand why johny test is around. But why is ben 10 still around?

It would make sense to retire a show like with samurai jack tell the creator he has x episodes to wrap it up or make a 2 hour tv movie to finish the story. Edit: if I have it right Teen titans was cancled and replaced by Ben 10, which just keeps going and going

It feels like it's a network shooting themselves in the foot by actively avoiding long running brand recognition. Blah blah doo doo syndication numbers increasing everyone's salary. And when you look at it from the perspective of "After we hit 80/100 episodes, every subsequent one is gonna cost us double what we were previously paying" it's actually pretty logical and smart to run a hard cap on series.

The only way I can imagine it making sense is that maybe after 5 years the kids who watched the show from the start will have grown up and Cartoon Network has to get started on a new batch of viewers. Most kids stop watching the same cartoons after turn into teenagers. It also makes sense to try your damnedest to keep your lineup from going stale, but that's no excuse to kick out shows so unceremoniously. Isn't it an almost universal consensus that the Simpsons went bad after [season I grew up watching]?

You mean episode 2 of season 9, "The Principal and the Pauper?" Because viewers of all ages agree on that one.

Are there people that still watch The Simpsons aside from people that watched it back in the 90s when it was good and still watch out of some misguided hope that it will be good again? I mean most of my younger cousins and stuff are in the 20s now but The Simpsons doesn't seem to be a thing with those that are still teenagers.Occupation posted:Blah blah doo doo syndication numbers increasing everyone's salary.

If people change the name of a series to "reboot" it to avoid double salary, then what defines a series? It can't just be the name, can it? I mean, we'd be seeing more shows like that if that was all you had to do. I'm liking that Steven Universe poster, but I'm afraid Steven is going to be an unlikable rear end in a top hat. The nostrils kinda creep me out, too. The PPG-redesign looks great. The new hair reflects their personalities even better, while still looking a lot like the original. Buttercups widow's peak is crazy high, though.

Union contracts, plus actors realize that every episode they're working on is just for syndication (i.e. it puts tons of money in the studio's pocket) and usually force a contract renegotiation.

Actually that's true of all Fox's animation except Bob's Burgers.

I heard it was due to the fact that when Futurama came on the air, all the good writers went to that show, thus leaving The Simpsons with subpar writing. I started to really quit watching the simpsons whenever other episode featured Lisa Simpson as coming off as a bit of a snob.
