History AdoredByTheNetwork / TeenTitansGo

''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', the ''comedy'' half of the WesternAnimation/DCNation lineup, fell into this rather fast and quickly became the new ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' [[AdoredByTheNetwork/SpongeBobSquarePants in terms of overexposure]]. Unsurprisingly, this led to it becoming one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's most popular shows. By 2015, ratings were extraordinarily high, often surpassing that of not just Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/DisneyChannel, but even shows on [[Creator/{{CBS}} the]] [[Creator/{{NBC}} big]] [[Creator/{{ABC}} four]] [[Creator/{{Fox}} networks]]. So of course the network went on to give it lots of attention. Later on, it became something of the default "filler" show whenever there wasn't a new episode of another series (which is quite often) or when Adult Swim wasn't on, quickly pushing other popular shows except ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' (and even that's debatable) off the schedule almost completely (resulting in a few such as ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' being unceremoniously canceled due to poor ratings, spawning conspiracy theories that Cartoon Network was run by MoralGuardians who deliberately sabotaged any series they found inappropriate for kids by using ''TTG'' to artificially manipulate ratings to justify cancellation). During the summer of 2015, ''Teen Titans Go!'' was practically the only thing that was played aside from what few live-action movies CN still held the rights to, new episodes of original and acquired series, ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', and the Adult Swim block. By the end of 2018, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork the excessive airing of the series began to die down as its popularity waned]], the show's staunchest defenders turned against it, the theatrical movie was considered a box-office disappointment[[note]] it actually did decent for its $10 million budget, making $52 million back, but Creator/WarnerBros wanted $250 million due to the popularity of the series. Unfortunately, they released it at a time the show's popularity was waning[[/note]], and Cartoon Network lost a large portion of its viewership, mainly longtime viewers and kids who switched over to either the other children's networks like {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and Creator/DisneyChannel[=/=]Creator/DisneyXD, and/or websites and streaming services like {{Website/YouTube}}, {{Website/TikTok}}, {{Creator/Netflix}}, Creator/DisneyPlus, Creator/{{Max}}, Creator/ParamountPlus, and Creator/{{Hulu}}. It's been given its own page here because it's one of the most noteworthy and conspicuous examples of ''any'' TV series, animated or otherwise, being overexposed by its network.

* In fact, this marathon has now been beaten by Cartoon Network UK, who decided to classify September as “Teen Titans Go! Month” and aired the show for 16 hours every day from the 5th to the 30th, making the marathon over 400 hours long, doubling the amount of hours the Italian pop-up channel had.

** Another instance of the show falling out of the network's favor can be seen in scheduling on the day of a highly-anticipated series finale. When ''Regular Show'' aired its final episode in January 2017, a TTG marathon was held before and after the finale, a sign that Cartoon Network did not care much about the show ending and wanted it gone (it all but disappeared from the network thereafter, aside from annual airings of the popular "Terror Tales of the Park" episodes around Halloween time). Conversely, when ''Adventure Time'' aired its series finale on Labor Day 2018, ''TTG'' respectfully stood on the sidelines to allow what was once Cartoon Network's flagship series (and the one that ended the network's first DorkAge when it premiered in 2010) to go out with dignity, with CN not airing a single episode that day in favor of an ''Adventure Time'' marathon. This scenario repeated itself on March 27, 2020, when ''Steven Universe'' aired an all-day marathon leading up to the four-part series finale of the ''Steven Universe Future'' epilogue series, and once again, TTG allowed it to end on a high note. This scenario would repeat itself months later, when ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' aired a three-day marathon leading up to a limited commercial premiere of the [[WesternAnimation/WeBareBearsTheMovie series]]' FinaleMovie, and the (grown-up, as CN is preparing ''[[SpinoffBabies We Baby Bears]]'') bears were given a proper send-off.

''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', the ''comedy'' half of the WesternAnimation/DCNation lineup, fell into this rather fast and quickly became the new ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' [[AdoredByTheNetwork/SpongeBobSquarePants in terms of overexposure]]. Unsurprisingly, this led to it becoming one of Cartoon Network's most popular shows.

** The earliest of these blocks was the weekend morning block ''Teen Titans Go! Top 5'', a rebranding of the original Top 5 introduced in September 2015, where fans of the show picked the top five episodes they wanted to see on TV via the CN website. The length of this block (running from 8AM to 1PM) resulted in shows like ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' being put in [[FridayNightDeathSlot poor timeslots on weekends]], and even resulted in ''Pokémon'' moving to Disney XD, where it's been treated ''much'' better. This block would usually be followed by an all-day block of ''Teen Titans Go!''. In the fall of 2017, the latter was shortened to be from 9 to 12 to play hourlong blocks of ''Ben 10'' and ''OK KO! Let's Be Heroes'' before and after the block.

* Averted starting around mid-November 2015, with the show only being rerun four times a day and with ''Adventure Time'', ''Regular Show'' and ''Steven Universe'' reruns returning in force. This allowed ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'', yet another Canadian import, to make its American debut, which itself unfortanately became another victim of screwing by Cartoon Network. In fact, ''Teen Titans Go!'' eventually got the spotlight over ''Supernoobs'' when it interrupted the show's comeback from an eight-month hiatus after two weeks and stole its plans to air new episodes while replacing them with ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns.

* It's the only currently airing kids' show not on Creator/PBSKids [[OutOfHolidayEpisode that has holiday-themed episodes in regular rotation]]. [[note]]The ''[=SpongeBob=]'' episodes "Fools in April" and "Bubble Buddy" (the latter taking place on Leif Erickson Day) don't count.[[/note]] For example, "Thanksgiving" was frequently played in early 2015 due to being paired with "Serious Business" (one of the show's most popular episodes), "How 'Bout Some Effort" played even after Valentine's Day passed, "Black Friday" is aired every other day, and "The True Meaning of Christmas" will often play every two weeks.
** Even more peculiar, "More of the Same", an episode about the New Year, premiered in the United States nearly ''five months'' (July 30) before New Years Eve. Most countries, such as the United Kingdom [[note]]only the Cartoon Network UK run, [=CiTV=] aired the episode early too[[/note]] and Australia, actually waited to air it until New Year's.

** Along with ''Gumball'' and ''Ben 10 2016'', the series still ended taking up most of the slots with the occasional movies, several of which are live-action (and are the only live-action programming left on the network following the infamous ''CN Real'' era). ''Steven Universe'' barely had any rerun time (with three of its season 4 episodes compiled into an hour long block - granted, that's still more than what ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' or ''Sonic Boom'' get). ''We Bare Bears'' and ''Clarence'' got the occasional showing, but ''Uncle Grandpa'' had a one-and-done showing of new episodes just to get to cancellation quicker.

* However, starting on September 25, 2017, the show averaged four hours from Monday to Thursday, yielding to airings of ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in September 2016), and ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in May). However, this happen at the expense of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales'', which was dropped from the schedule entirely.

** The UK feed suffers from the repeated episodes problem, too. Two particular blocks tend to play every weekend: the same hourlong block that contains "Tower Renovation" and "Serious Business", and the half-hour block with "Smile Bones" and Real Boy Adventures", with the latter sometimes appearing two days in a row.

* The show's DC Nation slot was a rerun, with a primetime slot showing new episodes. Promos for it were shown constantly (in contrast, ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', another DC-related property, had InvisibleAdvertising), and CN even ran marathons of it to fill up the daytime schedule. In just a few episodes, the network had already ordered a second season, while ''Batman'' got pulled from DC Nation entirely (supposedly scheduled for a January return until CN pushed it to an unspecified "first half of 2014" date), all but guaranteeing the latter would get the axe considering [[ScrewedByTheNetwork how little]] CN thinks of action cartoons not aired by Adult Swim or Toonami. By August 2014, ''Teen Titans Go'' was airing '''six times a day''' on weekdays (despite only having 29 half-hour episodes at the time), and little over a year later, the show would air [[UpToEleven 15 times a day]]. Even CN's other favorites don't receive that many airings in one day.

* [[https://cnschedulearchive.tumblr.com/image/157169318310 This]] was Cartoon Network's broadcast schedule for the week of February 13, 2017. Notice all 159 of those yellow rectangles? They all represent every single time ''Teen Titans Go!'' aired that week. If you look in the upper right-hand corner, you'll notice a breakdown by percentages, where ''TTG'' [[UpToEleven takes up 50 percent of the airtime for Cartoon Network in that week.]][[note]] You may also notice that ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', the show with the second highest amount of airings, only averages 70 airings compared to ''TTG'''s 159. The show ''with the second most amount of airings doesn't even get'' '''''half''''' ''of the airings TTG gets''.[[/note]]

** A year and a half later, UsefulNotes/McDonalds gave away toys based on the show, making it the first time a licensed property appeared at all 4 nationwide restaurants that have licensed tie-ins in kids' meals[[note]]This excludes White Castle, Hardee's, Subway, Carl's Jr (all of whom are regional and the latter of whose kids meal promotions mostly cover properties owned by Disney as of 2019), Jack in the Box, Arby's, KFC, Taco Bell (all of whom have not done licensed tie-ins since their ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnythingAVeggieTalesMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' promotions, respectively), Sbarro (who's last known licensed kids meal promotion was for the ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' video ''Come on Over to Barney's House'' back in 2000), and Chick-Fil-A (who's kids meal promotions are mostly for religious edutainment properties)[[/note]], something that took Nickelodeon counterpart ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' 11 years to do.
