  • I think I had an epiphany- the reason later-era Qubo acquired so many old and/or cheap shows was because they cost less to acquire per episode.

    Ion was never loaded in cash, so yeah... plus for return in investment picking up Hawaii Five-O reruns was more worth the price to them than picking up shows for Qubo.

    Honestly, when you put it like that, seems like Qubo's shutdown at Scripps' hands was a mercy killing

    Ion did accept the offer to be purchased, I have a feeling that they wanted to get out of the business at some point.
    Doctor Who Hot Take: The Timeless Child plot is actually BETTER than the Cartmel Masterplan

    In my opinion, the Timeless Child plot is better(although still crap) because, mainly, it keeps its some of its mysteries as mysteries at the end. For example, we don't know the species or backstory of the Child prior to being experimented on by the Time Lords.

    Meanwhile, the Cartmel Masterplan was made to make the Doctor a mystery again, but by the end of Lungbarrow, we know that he is a reincarnation of the Other, we know who the Other really is, we know the Doctor's family, we know how Susan fits in, and we even know how Time Lords "reproduce". In essence, we're back where we started- knowing too much about the Doctor.

    In that respect, although Cartmel himself denies it, the Timeless Child is better than the Masterplan at doing the one thing the Masterplan was created to do.
    Too many CN preschool shows. Not saying CN preschool is BAD, but... TWENTY NEW SERIES? AT LAUNCH?!? TWENTY?!?!?

    Do 20 , to have content, variety and see what sticks and works and what doesn't work...plus content for HBO Max because streaming services just make stuff to look like they are doing something.
    Welp, Marvel keeps screwing up She-Hulk. I'm not gonna be like those other comic weirdos and say this is all the SJWs' fault, but I do say these people do not understand She-Hulk's appeal.

    Same. Not even Marvel enjoys his run on Shulkie(don't tell Shulkie I called her Shulkie)

    I'm curious what you think the appeal of She-Hulk is. I get the feeling this is like the division in fandom for Red Sonja: Some people see her as a feminist icon, the other half see her as erotic fantasy. I say this as a fan of She-Hulk, who has some skepticism of what I'm hearing about this upcoming series.
    Jodie Whitaker is confirmedrumored to be leaving the role of the Doctor in Doctor Who in her third season. I'm not surprised, because all of the new series Doctors bar Eccleston(who left after one) left after three seasons.
    Did you know that Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is everywhere? Netflix, Kartoon Channel, Peacock, Discovery Family, HBO Max...
    The problem with being a kid today is you grow up to quickly. There's just not enough time! Well, for SOME kids, that is...
    Qubo really is shutting down. Not a drill.

    I have no idea what he just said. He's one of those business guys that waves his hands around while saying "proactive" and "paradigm" to make himself sound smarter. I'm I'm to believe Qubo is shutting down, I need it in English.
    Do you know the reason why PPGZ never aired in North America, most of Europe, the Middle East and Africa? I still think that the reason why PPGZ never aired in the US was because a dub separate from the Ocean Group one was planned for the American audience, but never materialized.
    Retro kids shows are like fries. They complement both steak(retro grown up shows) and burgers(modern kids shows), but are NOT to be used as a main course. Kids won’t watch a network focused on retro kids shows because they’re focused on new(or at least modern looking) shows, and adults won’t watch a retro kidvid network because they think that they’re too old. Hence, all retro kids networks either change focus or die
    Hi!

    Does Cartoon Network, like Nickelodeon, have a policy that any cartoon not matching the ratings of TTG! is immediately declared as a failure? Just curious.

    I don't know. Frankly, not as many shows have been burned off or immediately cancelled on CN as Nickelodeon.

    Given how low the bar for average ratings has gotten over the years, I'm not inclined to believe that.

My family and I celebrated July 4th this year by watching the first 10 episodes of MetaJets back-to-back lol.
How are you guys planning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 1-31-2007 next year?
And Norway's unbeaten streak over Brazil continues thanks to their 2-1 victory that led them qualified to the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals (second round, first round is the round of 16) tonight.
Those doing the pyramid burger on YouTube are doing it wrong. Let it cook until it's well done because I've seen people doing it and trying it before spitting it after realising that it's raw.
I have another theory as for why Johnny Bravo is neglected by CN nowadays. Putting aside the basic concept, it's the retools that made the show chaotic.
