Well, SU is a continuity based show. Airing any old episode from the later seasons without the context of the other episodes might make it confusing for some people.
Doesn't give them an excuse not to air Season 1 A/later season Beach City citizen episodes, though.

Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢That's not really a reason to not air them...they're still loose in continuity to get watched whenever.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Pan-Pizza from Rebel Taxi discussed the lack of Steven Universe reruns and pointed out that, given the show's older audience, the tight continuity, and the rise in streaming, Steven Universe has a lot more popularity on streaming services than it does on reruns. I mean, honestly, how many people here besides me watch it as soon as it airs on TV? Even CN knows this, they've been putting new episodes on their app first before it airs on TV.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I would catch premiers, if it were possible...
But terrible memory prevents TV time...which means much waiting.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.This is the longest continuous hiatus (we're just passing the length of "Log Date 7 15 2" to "Super Watermelon Island"), but I'll remind everyone of the series of hiatuses that stretched from "Too Far" to Summer of Steven: three month hiatus, then five episodes, then a four month hiatus, then five episodes, then a nearly two month hiatus. There were only 10 episodes aired over the course of nine months. By comparison, the last nine months had 19 episodes, and that's after the Summer of Steven.
They could solve the continuity problem with reruns by simply showing the reruns in order (i dont know why any station would want to air episodes out of order except to possibly avoid Early-Installment Weirdness, but SU doesnt have much of that).
I'm sorry but I survived the Avatar The Last Airbender hiatus between seasons 2 and 3. This is nothing. Y'all are weak.
That doesn't count. People have confidence that episodes of this show will come out eventually.
There are countless series with huge or frequent hiatuses. But just because some other thing is worse doesn't make this situation better. Lowering your standards is a dumb way to cope.
