* What ultimately killed ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'', as CN never advertised the show after its first season. The show wasn't even given the dignity of airing its final two episodes on TV, instead being punted to CN's video service.
* This is one of the biggest causes for the very short (read: one month) run of ''WesternAnimation/SundayPants''. The show was ''never'' advertised, nor was it given any mention on the CN website.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' never got much attention from Cartoon Network after the initial trailer and was barely advertised during the second season. This was what caused the show to get canceled, much to the dismay of the fans.
* Aside from the show appearing in advertisements for the ''Har Har Tharsdays'' and ''Monday Nights'' blocks, Cartoon Network barely advertised ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' after its first season. They didn't even bother advertising the series finale, at all. In fact, unless you were subscribed to Van Orman's, the creator of ''Flapjack'', Website/DeviantArt page, you wouldn't have even known that it aired.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotomy}}'' wasn't acknowledged until the start of 2011, a solid three months after its debut.
* There was exactly one commercial for their WesternAnimation/DCNation block, and CN would only run it ''during'' its runtime. The block would mysteriously disappear one day in late 2012 without DC's knowledge, with its planned premieres of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' being dropped on the iTunes store shortly after. Eventually the block would return and lose series over time, being strictly limited to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and various shorts before being phased out completely.
* ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfChima'' was heavily advertised during its first season. Not so much for its second and third.
* Cartoon Network mostly averted this with ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', but they barely advertised the series finale "Super Rabbit" which aired a [[ShortRunInPeru year after it aired in other countries]]. The fact that the episode was able to pull a million viewers is a marvel in itself.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' had its eighth and final season get the 6 a.m. burn-off treatment in two weeks in November 2014; the only reason it seemed to air was to get a tax write-off onto Turner's balance sheets before the end of the year.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' had the second half of its first season "exclusively premiere" on the network's website and tablet app, which is code for "the ratings were terrible for the first half, but we have to air the rest somewhere". These episodes didn't even air on CN proper and were dropped off to low-rated sister channel Creator/{{Boomerang}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' premiered in a 7 AM/6 AM timeslot with no advertising - in fact, the first promo was shown ''after'' the first episode(s). It's especially jarring compared to how much attention the [[VideoGame/SonicBoom video games]] received.
* Try finding any show in the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise that aired on Cartoon Network that actually got more than a handful of advertising. Putting each show in an early morning death slot only rubbed more salt on their wounds.
* Cartoon Network did squat when they started airing ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'', to the point where they even canceled it, moving its unreleased episodes to Creator/{{Boomerang}}, before it could even finish its first season run. Similar situations happened to ''WesternAnimation/{{Bunnicula}}'', ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction''[[note]] this was originally averted for the latter but the lack of advertising started happening in 2016[[/note]], and ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow2014 The Tom and Jerry Show]]'' (when it returned in February 2016) as well.
* Towards the end of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'''s final season, CN began promoting it less and less as the network wanted to lean towards more kid-friendly material. This move included a promo that mentioned a new episode with no specific plot details given. What it failed to tell the viewers was that this was ''actually the SeriesFinale'' and [[HeroicSacrifice a very important episode for Pops.]]
* Starting in 2015, ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' started getting this treatment with the episodes being advertised solely online. Eventually they stopped advertising it altogether with the seventh season finale receiving no promotion. There was a respectable amount of advertising for season 8's "Five Short Tables" because it focused on the popular gender-bent characters, but the rest of that season was barely, if at all, promoted. This would continue for most of season 9. However, this was averted with the finale which was heavily promoted.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'' was a victim of this. The network initally had a lot of faith in the show, as they wanted it to become their next toy-selling CashCowFranchise. After ''The Secret Saturdays'' failed to gain much popularity, while its contemporary ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' proved to be more successful in both ratings and merchandise, the network decided to put more focus on the latter show, and gave shabby treatment to this one. Coupled with the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork continuous timeslot changes and lack of reruns]], only diehard fans were able to keep track of the show.
* With the exception of "The Last Donnycorn" and "Power of Four", every other season two episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' had gotten no advertising, not even on its social media pages. This would continue into the third season before the show went on indefinite hiatus. Although the show has not officially been cancelled, its poor reviews from fans of the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls original series]] and (most likely false) accusations of it being a creepy SelfInsertFic for writer Jake Goldman as Blossom's love interest "Jared Shapiro," it is unlikely the show will see any new content being produced.
* In early 2017, Cartoon Network introduced a block called "Friday Party." Due to the strong presence of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and a last-minute announcement, most people skipped over it thinking that CN was playing [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGo favorites]]. The network is well known for having great success with Friday night programming (as evident with Creator/CartoonCartoonFridays), but the ratings for "Friday Party" plummeted. It was later shown the door in April.
* Later that year, a new block called ''NEW NEW NEW NEW'' was introduced, which did a better job of featuring other programs. Despite that, more emphasis was still put on TTG than the other shows, preceding the block with ''nine hours'' of content. Each promo ended with "It all starts with a new Teen Titans Go! at 6:00!" and the ''Titans'' episodes were the only ones promoted out of the block. This lasted until February 2018 when each show got individual promos.
* This ultimately helped drive ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' to be cancelled after three seasons; execs decided not to renew the show for a fourth season due to lack of popularity, quite a bit of which stemmed from people being unaware that it even existed. Even the show's fans often didn't know when new episodes were on due to a lack of advertising, and many people only heard about the series through internet posts about the fact that it was ending. Even the console game ''OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes'' got a heaping dose of this, and was primarily released as part of a compilation with ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse: Save the Light'', with the latter game not only getting all the attention due to being based on a [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse more popular show]], but also hogging most of the boxart, leaving some people unaware that another game was even included.
* Cartoon Network gave virtually no advertisements for ''WesternAnimation/MegaManFullyCharged'', with most of the advertising being online. Add that to the show's horrendous time slots, and it’s no wonder it failed spectacularly. Being panned by critics and fans of the source material, from which it heavily deviated, didn't help either.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThundercatsRoar'' was advertised very little during its run, with the show eventually being cancelled after a single season.
----
* ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'', despite CN wanting it to be successful, was barely advertised after launch, nor was it merchandised. The same treatment would be given to Canadian imports ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' in 2011, as well as movie tie-in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' in 2017. Unlike ''Baby Looney Tunes'', however, these shows didn't have another network to fall back on in the States and [[ShortRunner ended abruptly.]] [[note]]One of them returned on Starz Family in 2019 and unaired episodes make their US debut long after the quiet cancellation.[[/note]]
* What ultimately killed ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'', as CN never advertised the show after its first season. The show wasn't even given the dignity of airing its final two episodes on TV, instead being punted to CN's video service.
* This is one of the biggest causes for the very short (read: one month) run of ''WesternAnimation/SundayPants''. The show was ''never'' advertised, nor was it given any mention on the CN website.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' never got much attention from Cartoon Network after the initial trailer and was barely advertised during the second season. This was what caused the show to get canceled, much to the dismay of the fans.
* Aside from the show appearing in advertisements for the ''Har Har Tharsdays'' and ''Monday Nights'' blocks, Cartoon Network barely advertised ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' after its first season. They didn't even bother advertising the series finale, at all. In fact, unless you were subscribed to Van Orman's, the creator of ''Flapjack'', Website/DeviantArt page, you wouldn't have even known that it aired.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotomy}}'' wasn't acknowledged until the start of 2011, a solid three months after its debut.
* There was exactly one commercial for their WesternAnimation/DCNation block, and CN would only run it ''during'' its runtime. The block would mysteriously disappear one day in late 2012 without DC's knowledge, with its planned premieres of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' being dropped on the iTunes store shortly after. Eventually the block would return and lose series over time, being strictly limited to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and various shorts before being phased out completely.
* ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfChima'' was heavily advertised during its first season. Not so much for its second and third.
* Cartoon Network mostly averted this with ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', but they barely advertised the series finale "Super Rabbit" which aired a [[ShortRunInPeru year after it aired in other countries]]. The fact that the episode was able to pull a million viewers is a marvel in itself.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' had its eighth and final season get the 6 a.m. burn-off treatment in two weeks in November 2014; the only reason it seemed to air was to get a tax write-off onto Turner's balance sheets before the end of the year.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' had the second half of its first season "exclusively premiere" on the network's website and tablet app, which is code for "the ratings were terrible for the first half, but we have to air the rest somewhere". These episodes didn't even air on CN proper and were dropped off to low-rated sister channel Creator/{{Boomerang}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' premiered in a 7 AM/6 AM timeslot with no advertising - in fact, the first promo was shown ''after'' the first episode(s). It's especially jarring compared to how much attention the [[VideoGame/SonicBoom video games]] received.
* Try finding any show in the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise that aired on Cartoon Network that actually got more than a handful of advertising. Putting each show in an early morning death slot only rubbed more salt on their wounds.
* Cartoon Network did squat when they started airing ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'', to the point where they even canceled it, moving its unreleased episodes to Creator/{{Boomerang}}, before it could even finish its first season run.
