* AlasPoorScrappy: There are images that poke fun at the Hub logo. Those same images mourn the loss of said logo, due to the Hug being rebranded as Discovery Family.
* InternetBackdraft: A while before the Discovery Family rebrand, The Hub hired [[http://www.nickandmore.com/2013/03/15/hub-nabs-disney-exec-for-programming/ Former Disney Channel Executive Nikki Reed to bring more live-action programming]]. Though The Hub did not get the chance to pull a DisneyChannel (i.e. [[NetworkDecay Move away from animation and introduce a focus on]] LaughTrack-filled {{Kid Com}}s) before the rebrand, many Hub fans [[InternetBackdraft did]] ''[[InternetBackdraft not]]'' [[InternetBackdraft take that well.]]
** That's nothing compared to the announcement that Discovery has taken a larger part of The Hub and will be renaming it Discovery Family and turning it into a Litton-like channel filled with low-budget educational shows. Though confirmations that the Hub's biggest hits like MLP and [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]] are here to stay, many fans are still increasingly worried of the loss of many popular 90's cartoons and a fear of Discovery Family becoming TLC Jr and that this half and half atmosphere will drive away most of the majority of the Hub's former viewers which in turn will affect their current shows.
** The initial Discovery Family schedule shows that Tiny Toon Adventures, as well as classic reruns of Jem and the Holograms, and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero will stick around, at least for a little while longer. The evening schedule consists of repurposed programming from other Discovery networks. Such programming includes the documentary Africa, the Science Channel series How Do They Do It?, and the TLC reality series Cake Boss. This means the classic sitcoms are out, and not everyone is happy about that.
** After Discovery Family launched, they created their own Facebook page (as Discovery Family Channel) for their primetime programming. It soon became flooded with complaints from Hub Network fans who don't like the new lineup. Whoever is running the Discovery Family page soon removed the ability to directly post to it's feed. This hasn't stopped complaints from appearing under posts promoting whatever documentary or reality show they feel like running. As for the Hub Networks' old Facebook page, which is being used to promote the daytime kids lineup, it is also being flooded with complaints in a very similar fashion. The ability to post directly to their feed was also disabled.
* MagnumOpus: [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Transformers Prime]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]] could each be seen as this. Others cite WesternAnimation/DanVs and Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow as such.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Haim Saban, upon creating Creator/SabanBrands, bluffed Disney into handing back ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' from Disney by saying they were going to bring it here. Alas, they brought it to ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}''.
** Justified since Hasbro's Asian partner, Takara Tomy, is Bandai's rival in and outside the country. And there's no way Hasbro will allow it in the 1st place anyway.

* FanDumb: Some [[PeripheryDemographic older fans]] of WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic go as far as to think that the show is the only good thing on the network, to the chagin of the fans of...everything else on the network. This got to the point where even Facebook posts promoting shows like WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries were met with "who cares, more ponies".
