His name is Stuart Snyder. He's been the President and CEO of Cartoon Network since the Boston Bomb Scare of 2007 caused the old CEO, Jim Staples, to resign. His idea was apparently to try and turn Cartoon Network into a general kids network, to try and compete more heavily with Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

I don't know how to feel about that Fish Hooks on Disney Channel. It just feels so weird to me that they have so many talented people working on the show ( Alex Hirsch, Justin Roiland, Maxwell Adams,etc.), and what they end up turning out is something that's watchable, but feels like it should be much more than that.

Well, I just learned this now checking twitter but apparently the Ben 10 franchise is dead. According to NickandMore they're gonna start burning off episodes of Omniverse starting next week at 6 in the morning. https://twitter.com/NICKandMORE/status/516570237026971648 I'm a little surprised actually, since I thought Ben 10 was still fairly popular. Apparently not though. Gonna miss it, I was enjoying this series.

Sithsaber posted:The Hub's primetime hours (and thus its sweet, sweet viewership ratings) have been given to nature shows.This might mean less cartoons. The thing is though, on a daily basis, barely anybody watches the network in the first place. There's a reason Discovery's taking it back.

raditts posted:Speaking of station rebrandings, is there any noticeable difference in The Hub's daytime programming now that it's Discovery Family? Looking at the program guide it's mostly the same poo poo they've always shown. Just that instead of showing 80s / 90s sitcoms in the evenings / overnight it's giant blocks of all the Discovery Network dogshit that nobody wanted to watch on other channels, like Auction Kings and DC Cupcakes. At this point, the entire channel's seen as a failure. The only reason the schedcule isn't enirely Discovery's leftovers is because the Hasbro shows still get them ratings. Although, obviously not good enough for them to have to rebrand.

raditts posted:I kind of figured they'd been staying afloat on the strength of creepy bronies alone. Too bad for them nobody cares about any of their other toy lines from the 80s and they canceled all the shows that were remotely good, I guess. That's pretty much it. By the end, they thought that toy shows and nostalgia alone would be enough, but the thing is in this day and age you need something more. It's not like the 80s and 90s when there was more reruns and such typically added into programming. Kids programming is already crowded with known names like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, so if you want to compete, you really have to hit the ground running. The Hub kinda started out like that, but by the end, it fizzled. Fun Fact: An executive for the network said when it first started said that they expected to be half the size of Cartoon Network in five years. That's basically 500,000 total viewers. By the end of the network's lifetime, they were barely hitting 100,000.

Right now, I'm spending my day trying to figure out why Ben 10 2017 Season 1 and We Bare Bears Season 3 (?) have suddenly appeared on USA Netflix. This is very weird to me, cause I've assumed that Hulu still had the exclusive rights to all the Turner shows, especially since the OK KO dropped on there like a month ago? So either that's expired, or someone at Netflix HQ made a mistake

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I feel weird about hilda. Stuff like the rat king and the giant are just above and beyond anything on any other show for character design, but there is something about the show that feels really PBS kids. Your point of the show being geared more towards kids than adults is not wrong, but it does remind me of why I was a little annoyed at people trying to sell it as "the next Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, etc." because it's really not trying to be. Hilda, both the tv series and the comics it's based on, is definitely geared more toward the younger crowd than those two shows. I think it is made in a way that anyone can watch it, but not in the same way those other shows. It's definitely more like nostalgia for childhood, very imaginative and such. It doesn't really tell adult jokes like some of the shows you mentioned (unless you consider Alfur's love of bureaucracy and contracts adult). And I actually do think it touches on some topics in interesting ways, like Hilda and her mother's dealings with the elf civilization in the first two episodes. I think the gist of what I'm trying to say here is, coming into Hilda for Gravity Falls and other's style of humor and storytelling will leave you disappointed, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

So hey, if you’re wondering what happened to that Invader Zim movie and that Rockos Modern Life movie that was supposed to air years ago, well they both just got sold to Netflix. http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2019/05/netflix-acquires-nickelodeons-rockos.html This was expected honestly, I don’t think that Hey Arnold movie did great ratings wise. Which makes sense considering the kids who are meant to watch that had no idea what Hey Arnold was.

Macaluso posted:Oof, the animation in this is rough. And like half the scenes they showed the words didn't match the mouths I’ll be fair and put that blame on the way trailers are cut, which always seem to gently caress up the sync in some way or other. Otherwise... eh? They’ve been pushing the fact that they’re going for movie quality animation, and you know in some ways this looks fine, if nothing special. I can see this going in between 2019 Grinch and like Horton heads a Who on the “Modern Dr. Seuss Animation Adaptations” scale. I guess at least it doesn’t look like it’ll be a Lorax?

There’s not a lot of solid info on that. And like, I know there’s still like a weird stigma against digital animation but like, it’s fine animation, I’m not gonna call it the greatest, there’s some slight tweening but Johnny Test it is not. Titmouse did this sequence, and I’m curious how the other studios will look, especially snipple and Yowza who I think are working on this, and just did the green eggs and ham show for Warner on Ellen money, which was pretty gorgeous, I’d wanna see what they did on Spielberg money

readingatwork posted:Disney XD is basically what Boomerang is for CN. It's a place they can send shows that aren't getting high enough ratings to squeeze a few last dollars out without having to take up space on their flagship station. Moving an ongoing show to XD or Boomerang is basically a pre-cancellation move so this shouldn't have been surprising. The thing is though, they specifically asked to be moved to XD, because there’s apparently a level of freedom they get to have there that they don’t on the main channel, and they were afraid airing on the main channel would screw up the airing order. https://suspendersofdisbelief.tumblr.com/post/626457479853785088/because-of-how-the-pandemic-extended-the-hiatus/

While having Slappy Squirrel back is my dream, unless they finally made nice with the og creators, it’s probably not gonna happen, at least not with Sherri Stoner. And I think there’s been a general feeling of “they’re not really interested in using any of the other segments for new cartoons” which, fine, but they surprisingly didn’t fill it up with much new stuff either

TwoPair posted:I don't know why they're still doing three-camera sitcoms like that with a laugh track* in this day and age. I mean the easiest guess is budget but I don't know how it could by that much cheaper than a single-cam with a better set. I think it’s just that’s what those producers and directors are used to doing. Most of them came from TGIF and Saved by the Bell on Network TV, and when the family/teen sitcom died over there they just jumped ship to cable. Feel like most of the better ones either come from people who were making better versions of the latter shows already (Suite Life) or people who were already making multi cam sitcoms but for adults (KC Undercover) Otherwise it’s still mostly the same group of people who were making shows that were considered out of touch 20 years ago

There is always a wonder of what the show would've done with those two additional seasons they were planning if their production studio didn't implode on them, but for the limited time, they managed to tie everything up neat enough

I mean as ok as a 3 minute short that very much feels like it was produced to be shown as preview before the actual show, it does have some semblance of that P&F feeling in it (the whole aliens come to bestow powers and then be outtie is very much a gag I could see play on it) Really I’m wondering if Dan takes any of the things he learned from Milo Murphy (RIP) in terms of story arc’s and whatnot. Neither of the two shows ever had anything near serial storytelling but Milo definitely dabbled into having story beats that lead toward a conclusion at the end of the season. Then again, it could just be a goofy superhero show and it’ll prob be fine no more, no less.
