The Absolute Madman
Well, for one it's the only foreign made series that I know of on CN that gets any attention from commercials. Since Lego is such a big name, and the series can only continue if the toys sell out with a winning profit. Chances are the toys were selling wonderfully and the new toy needed to be animated. As long as there's some body out there to buy this shit, the show will never stop and it will be a party in ads.

The gaps were related to past season only because it was a post-series season first in response to the popularity. That's why it came out sporadically. The new season is back to regular airing schedule.

Ah, toys. That would probably explain it. The lack of a toyline seems to have been the demise of many good shows recently. At least allegedly.
I ask because it seems like it's not on a regular production schedule, and gaps between the seasons are longer than for other shows. I've also noticed that even though Cartoon Network doesn't usually show reruns of it, whenever it is airing new episodes it always gets a lot of advertisement, which is very odd given CN's current all-or-nothing approach to its toons.
I was just curious if anyone knew why the show is handled so oddly.
