@thatother1dude: Seeing both companies as trying to capitalize on consumer preferences, I would expect both of them to converge even more down the line, if there's a particularly successful model for filmed/animated content distribution.

To be clearer, movie theaters and television are two different models of filmed/animated content distribution, but they don't compete with each other. Conversely, newspaper and news sites compete with each other for readers, as well as television competed with radio for general information and entertainment distribution at homes. So, the bulk of the industry tends to move towards the most viable option. Which is how I would explain Cartoon Network distributing its shows through its app and website over the main television channel.

I literally just made all of this up, btw.

They posted a teaser for save the light asking if you could find the new fusions. One of them is Smokey Quartz. Another looks like Peridot with Garnet's square hair?

That's Squaridot, another peridot that's original to the game.

If it wouldn't be too much to ask, could you guys go to SU's Trivia discussion page to help sort out an example?

Something I hadn't' considered before but when Steven was exposed to Blue Diamond's emotional outburst is it possible he was affected by it in some way?Like dulling his normal super empathy and it's only now starting to effect him?

Just food for thought

Now, but not in any moment between those two points?

As in why it didn't stop him resurrecting Lars or destroying the Roboids?

I was thinking it just took a long time before it actually affected him,so while he was on Homeworld it hadn't even begun to affect his personality

It doesn't count as Screwed by the Network if it isn't getting aired. Same shit happened to Adventure Time and Regular Show and their listings as being Screwed by the Network have been deleted constantly. I mean it's already been explained why they don't air the show a lot as reruns.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

[up][up]Steven Universe is much closer to Adored by the Network at this point. The reruns don't matter, whereas the premiers have become increasing billed as special events advertised weeks in advance with unique trailers—most other CN shows just share a 15-second advert for the 2-4 shows premiering in the next week.

I dont think so... Look, why does either trope HAVE to be there? SU is very irregular. I dont think either trope fits.

I didn’t say it had to be either, what I said was the network had more faith in the show than average.

And you’re still treating irregular scheduling as evidence of network apathy.

Considering swill like Teen Titans Go is getting more and more air time at the expense of everything else, can you blame him?

Teen Titans Go is actually popular. That a bunch of adults on the internet won't shut up about it doesn't change it's popularity with the actual target demographic.

Teen Titans Go is an offense to the source material, that's why.

People said the exact same thing about the cartoon as compared to the comics, you know that right?

Really, I can't feel any sympathy because 1) if your memories on the original series can be tarnished by something like that, they probably weren't that great to begin with 2.) Teen Titans Go was never going to be the same thing and 3) part of the reason Teen Titans Go is the way it is now because of people greatly exaggerating how bad it was in the beginning causing the creators to go "fuck it, if they're going to complain anyway, might as well give them something to complain about"

And, really it's not even new complaints now. It's raging against the same thing, over and over again. At this point people are just trying to stay mad for the sake of it.

I've been alive almost as long as the comic existed.

If anything, the series was better: the comic was a bit too "hippy" for my taste at times.

Well, good for you. I'm just saying calling something "an insult to the original" carries less weight than you think it does. Or it should anyway. Teen Titans Go! never even pretended to be trying to do the same thing.

Now about that Steven Universe...yeah, just because it isn't constantly on rerun or has long hiatuses doesn't mean the network hates it. I've always gotten the impression that the hiatuses were for the creators benefit.

Regardless, we're going off on a tangent at this point.

Serious question: How many of the people on this board watch CN reruns, or would if more of them were of the shows you liked? I'm a "no" for both.

I've always gotten the impression that the hiatuses were for the creators benefit.
I'd say they benefit slightly, but not by a huge margin, because these airing hiatuses don't actually affect the rate episodes are produced at. Almost everything from Cartoon Network Studios has the same production rate. By contrast, Disney Television Animation allowed Gravity Falls a rather significant production delay (though one could see that as a unique situation).

The staff of OK K.O., which had a delayed premier instead of a hiatus (so far), have pointed out one advantage: When you know about this kind of schedule in advance, you don't have to write episodes in the order you mean for the viewers to see them. So, for instance, they deliberately made the series premier something like the fifth episode written so they could get a better handle on the characters before introducing them.

But for the most part, focusing the premiers into a narrower period of time is a marketing strategy. One may debate its effectiveness (e.g. if it improves rating, if better ratings are worth the animosity it's bred), but not the same as its intent.


Super different: Several people have pointed out Golf Story, a Switch game that came out last month, is basically a real life Golf Quest Mini.

Randomness would watch re-runs if they were of shows of interest...

But at this point it's Youtube TV.

Cartoon Network Canada airs an hour of Steven Universe every weekday. One half hour in the morning and one in late afternoon. I watched them enough to memorize the out of order broadcast order. Thing is, I think Steven Universe s the only show I've watched reruns of in recent years. The last time I would tune in to watch reruns was Spectacular Spider-man.
