* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has a case similar to ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' and ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' (see Western Animation). It originally had a standard new episode once-a-week type of schedule. Following a brief hiatus, however, it now takes about two weeks for new episodes to air. But, similar to the Stevenbombs, they air each new episode all in one week. The most notable case happened with the special "Tripped!", which had its release date changed three times before Nickelodeon moved it to June 25th, 2018. Even worse, Amazon accidentally released the episode on the original airdate before pulling it and Nick still ran promos for the special even after they removed it from their May lineup.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpeedRacerTheNextGeneration'' is another example of this.

Not only that, but midway through the second season there was a hiatus that lasted ''612 days'', which happened to occur right after a three-parter with a cliffhanger ending.

However, Nickelodeon decided to hold the show off until March 22, 2002. Finally in May 2003, the second season finally premiered, even though it was produced a year earlier (though because of the first season being delayed for so long, THAT season ended up airing in Spring 2002 instead. No episodes were produced in 2001 due to the show's staff unsure whether or not the show was even going to air). While it was also a short season (eight episodes; the average Nicktoon season is roughly thirteen episodes), the episode airdates were spaced farther than season one to allow less time for the third season to air. By the time season four aired, Nick's interest for the show had waned and cancelled the show right in the middle of the season in June 2005 due to low viewership. Nick decided to air the remainder of the season three years later, in 2008.
* As far as anthology series go, the second season of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' had ''Life With Loopy'' absent for half of the season (only seven of the thirteen episodes that season featured the short, making it the shortest season of the short series). This was due to production on the short moving buildings- season one was produced at Skellington Productions, which was owned by Disney, but they would allow other stop-motion studios to use the building. After season one wrapped, Disney closed it down after ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' underperformed in the box office.

While it was also a short season (eight episodes; the average Nicktoon season is roughly thirteen episodes), the episode airdates were spaced farther than season one to allow less time for the third season to air. By the time season four aired, Nick's interest for the show had waned and cancelled the show right in the middle of the season in June 2005 due to low viewership.

Nicktoons tend to have this problem a lot, as proven by the examples below:
* ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'': The fourth season took two years to air. Not just that, but there was 13 months between the airing of that season's premiere and the next episode, and a year between the second and third episode of that season. As well as a 9 month gap between the seventh and eight episodes of the fifth (and final) season.
* While true reasons for Creator/JohnKricfalusi's firing from the production of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' remain vague, there are rumors going around that he would purposefully slow down the process of making episodes, so the censors would have less time to go over them. This is also supported by the fact that the ''[[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon Adult Party Cartoon]]'' spinoff was cancelled by Creator/SpikeTV after a month of airtime because he only managed to produce 3 out of 9 episodes on time.
** It probably also has a lot to do with the "Adult Party Cartoon" being a ''[[FranchiseKiller complete bomb]]''.
** For what it's worth, Ren and Stimpy's first season ended with only 6 episodes, while the first seasons of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' before it and ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' after ended with the standard 13.
** Parodied by ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (in one of several digs the show made at its then-rival) when one of the nominees for "Outstanding Writing in a Cartoon Series" is the season premiere of ''Ren and Stimpy''. The clip is a title card that reads, "Clip Not Done Yet."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' was the victim of this. 2011 was supposed to be a year long celebration of its [[LongRunners tenth anniversary]], with "specials every month and new episodes". By April, nothing of the sort had happened. In addition, FOP was very rarely aired in 2010 and a number of episodes from the seventh season took two years to be aired despite the fact that [[OutOfOrder the season premiere for the eighth season]] has been aired. It wasn't until 2013 that a new season finally began, and even then, it aired a few episodes until 2014, where new episodes aired that summer.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'''s last season took 3 years to finish (March 2001 to June 2004), and they were also aired OutOfOrder, creating some continuity confusion.
* In America, the third season of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' had a very slow schedule. An episode from ''the middle of the season'' was heavily promoted, and aired in late 2006. The episode, titled ''Urban Jungle'', included references to and elements from things that happened earlier in the season, which left viewers largely confused. The rest of the season didn't air until Summer '''2007''', one year after it aired in Europe and other countries.
* In a similar vein to ''Danny Phantom'', the final season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' aired a lot later in America than in Europe and other countries, so all of the plot twists, reveals, etc. were all spoiled on the internet long before the season aired in America.
* The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 incarnation of TMNT]] has run into this a few times. The most notable example would probably be Parasitica, which was said to air a week after "Pulverizer Returns!", but then jumped to June 1st, before changing into June 29th. It finally aired the next month on the 20th. The series also takes breaks around Season 4, generally right after major arcs are concluded; to date, it's the longest running season, starting in 2015 and going into 2017, whereas the other three had finished their runs before the year had ended.
* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'' has been a victim of this. It began in 2010 and the first ([[ScrewedByTheNetwork last, and only]]) season didn't finish airing until '''2013'''.
* Seasons 2 and 3 of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' experienced this. While it only took 9 months for season 1 to air its 20 episodes, it took season 2 two years and nine months, and season 3 three years, to air the same amount of episodes. Some season 3 episodes have aired while season 2 was still in progress. Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 took roughly 2 years to air 20/26 episodes. Season 8 was a little better where it only took 1 year and 8 months to air its 26 episodes, but Season 9 takes the cake. It took a total of 4 years and 7 months to air all of season 9. Season 10 took 1 year and 2 months to air all of its episodes, if only because of its unusually short length (11 episodes as opposed to the usual 20/26).
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' has also had years-long gaps between new episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' had a pretty slow schedule. The first episode premiered on December 31, 1999, with the rest of season one to air through 2000. However, Nickelodeon decided to hold the show off until March 22, 2002.

To make matters worse; by the time the rest of the season aired, the original target audience who saw the show when it premiered would've been out of the demographic by then.
* As far as anthology series go, the second season of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' had ''Life With Loopy'' absent for half of the season (only seven of the thirteen episodes that season featured the short, making it the shortest season of the short series). This was due to production on the short moving buildings- season one was produced at Skellington Productions, which was owned by Disney, but they would allow other stop-motion studios to use the building. After season one wrapped, Disney closed it down after ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' underperformed in the box office. Production moved to Custer Avenue Stages, which was used from season two to the end of the series.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has a similar case to ''Gravity Falls'' and ''Steven Universe'' above. It originally had a standard new episode once a week type of schedule. Following a brief hiatus, however, it now takes about two weeks for new episodes to air. But, similar to the Stevenbombs, they air each new episode all in one week. The most notable case happened with the special "Tripped!", which had its' release date changed three times before Nickelodeon moved it to June 25th. Even worse, Amazon accidentally released the episode on the original airdate before pulling it and Nick still ran promos for the special even after they removed it from their May lineup.
* ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'': The fourth season took two years to air. Not just that, but there was 13 months between the airing of that season's premiere and the next episode, and a year between the second and third episode of that season. As well as a 9 month gap between the seventh and eight episodes of the fifth (and final) season.
* While true reasons for Creator/JohnKricfalusi's firing from the production of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' remain vague, there are rumors going around that he would purposefully slow down the process of making episodes, so the censors would have less time to go over them. This is also supported by the fact that the ''[[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon Adult Party Cartoon]]'' spinoff was cancelled by Creator/SpikeTV after a month of airtime because he only managed to produce 3 out of 9 episodes on time.
** It probably also has a lot to do with the "Adult Party Cartoon" being a ''[[FranchiseKiller complete bomb]]''.
** For what it's worth, Ren and Stimpy's first season ended with only 6 episodes, while the first seasons of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' before it and ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' after ended with the standard 13.
** Parodied by ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (in one of several digs the show made at its then-rival) when one of the nominees for "Outstanding Writing in a Cartoon Series" is the season premiere of ''Ren and Stimpy''. The clip is a title card that reads, "Clip Not Done Yet."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' was the victim of this. 2011 was supposed to be a year long celebration of its [[LongRunners tenth anniversary]], with "specials every month and new episodes". By April, nothing of the sort had happened. In addition, FOP was very rarely aired in 2010 and a number of episodes from the seventh season took two years to be aired despite the fact that [[OutOfOrder the season premiere for the eighth season]] has been aired. It wasn't until 2013 that a new season finally began, and even then, it aired a few episodes until 2014, where new episodes aired that summer.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'''s last season took 3 years to finish (March 2001 to June 2004), and they were also aired OutOfOrder, creating some continuity confusion.
* In America, the third season of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' had a very slow schedule. An episode from ''the middle of the season'' was heavily promoted, and aired in late 2006. The episode, titled ''Urban Jungle'', included references to and elements from things that happened earlier in the season, which left viewers largely confused. The rest of the season didn't air until Summer '''2007''', one year after it aired in Europe and other countries.
* In a similar vein to ''Danny Phantom'', the final season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' aired a lot later in America than in Europe and other countries, so all of the plot twists, reveals, etc. were all spoiled on the internet long before the season aired in America.
* The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 incarnation of TMNT]] has run into this a few times. The most notable example would probably be Parasitica, which was said to air a week after "Pulverizer Returns!", but then jumped to June 1st, before changing into June 29th. It finally aired the next month on the 20th. The series also takes breaks around Season 4, generally right after major arcs are concluded; to date, it's the longest running season, starting in 2015 and going into 2017, whereas the other three had finished their runs before the year had ended.
* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'' has been a victim of this. It began in 2010 and the first ([[ScrewedByTheNetwork last, and only]]) season didn't finish airing until '''2013'''.
* Seasons 2 and 3 of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' experienced this. While it only took 9 months for season 1 to air its 20 episodes, it took season 2 two years and nine months, and season 3 three years, to air the same amount of episodes. Some season 3 episodes have aired while season 2 was still in progress. Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 took roughly 2 years to air 20/26 episodes. Season 8 was a little better where it only took 1 year and 8 months to air its 26 episodes, but Season 9 takes the cake. It took a total of 4 years and 7 months to air all of season 9. Season 10 took 1 year and 2 months to air all of its episodes, if only because of its unusually short length (11 episodes as opposed to the usual 20/26).
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' has also had years-long gaps between new episodes.
* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' had a pretty slow schedule. The first episode premiered on December 31, 1999, with the rest of season one to air through 2000. However, Nickelodeon decided to hold the show off until March 22, 2002. The season only had six episodes and was plagued by constant repeats (the season ended in May of the same year), which even led a few fans to think Nick cancelled it after six episodes. Finally in May 2003, the second season finally premiered, even though it was produced a year earlier (though because of the first season being delayed for so long, THAT season ended up airing in Spring 2002 instead. No episodes were produced in 2001 due to the show's staff unsure whether or not the show was even going to air). While it was also a short season (eight episodes; the average Nicktoon season is roughly thirteen episodes), the episode airdates were spaced farther than season one to allow less time for the third season to air. By the time season four aired, Nick's interest for the show had waned and cancelled the show right in the middle of the season in June 2005 due to low viewership [[note]]which many have pointed out to be Nick's own fault for putting the show in only three timeslots a week either when the target audience was just going to bed or weekend mornings running up against more popular shows, such as Cartoon Network's ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''[[/note]]. However, Nick decided to air the remainder of the season...three years later. The last episode to air on the normal schedule was "The Crush/Gift of Good Intentions/Snapshots II: Wild [=ChalkZone=]!/Go Pop" on June 22, 2005. The next episode ("The Quicksand Man/Vampire Cannibals of New York/Killer Breath/Time to Go Home" ) wouldn't air until June 11, 2008 with no advertisement and in the wee hours of the morning. To make matters worse; by the time the rest of the season aired, the original target audience who saw the show when it premiered would've been out of the demographic by then.
* As far as anthology series go, the second season of ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' had ''Life With Loopy'' absent for half of the season (only seven of the thirteen episodes that season featured the short, making it the shortest season of the short series). This was due to production on the short moving buildings- season one was produced at Skellington Productions, which was owned by Disney, but they would allow other stop-motion studios to use the building. After season one wrapped, Disney closed it down after ''Literature/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' underperformed in the box office. Production moved to Custer Avenue Stages, which was used from season two to the end of the series.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has a similar case to ''Gravity Falls'' and ''Steven Universe'' above. It originally had a standard new episode once a week type of schedule. Following a brief hiatus, however, it now takes about two weeks for new episodes to air. But, similar to the Stevenbombs, they air each new episode all in one week. The most notable case happened with the special "Tripped!", which had its' release date changed three times before Nickelodeon moved it to June 25th. Even worse, Amazon accidentally released the episode on the original airdate before pulling it and Nick still ran promos for the special even after they removed it from their May lineup.
