There's no reason to merge them. Splitting is entirely legitimate. For comparison, Gekiganger 3.

Just wanted to get some opinions. Should we do anything about it or just leave it?

If some episodes of the shows were only shown as part of Ka Blam and others were only shown standalone, it might be possible to say "tropes specific to the episodes of the spinoff go on the spinoff page, tropes specific to the episodes on Ka Blam go on that page, and general tropes go... wherever seems to be the best idea."
Gentleman Troper!
Well, I don't know these particular series, but in general it takes only one troper to do such a split, and it takes several weeks of debate followed by a difficult vote to undo the split. So overall, split things stay split, and there's not much you can do about it.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

^^ That would massively overcomplicate trying to keep the examples sorted, especially for the people who aren't avid fans of the show.
Say that I see a clip on Youtube. It's got a trope example. But I never watched the show. How do I know which page to put it on? I have no idea whether it was a standalone episode or a Ka-Blam episode.

It would be much easier to have all the Ka Blam stuff on one page.

Indeed, why not have separate pages? I thought this wiki's policy was to have as many works pages as people are willing to write.

Both Action League Now and Angela Anaconda's pages have a huge list of tropes, and Kablam is still larger than both of them combined. Those pages NEED to exist just so people can tell them apart.

Angela Anaconda had an insanely short stint on Ka Blam—only two episodes, if I remember correctly—which means most of the relevant tropes wouldn't make sense here.
Action League Now, on the other hand, was a part of All That for about a season and stood on it's own for two years. I'd say that's a pretty good case for leaving it where it is.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

I never knew that Angela Anaconda was shown on a different channel. If there are no more objections, we can close this.

Is there really a need to have Action League Now and Angela Anaconda split off from the main Ka Blam page? I know they were spinoffs, but they all came from the same place.
