Hollywood Hype Machine for major advertising blitzes of this sort

Keep Circulating the Tapes for the poorly-performing special being exiled to the realm of bootlegs

Thanks for the help. I went ahead and wrote the examples for Keep Circulating the Tapes; however, I’m not sure exactly how I would write an example for Hollywood Hype Machine (especially on the trope's page), given that this particular instance is dealing with whole works that have diverse casts, rather than specific people/ensembles. I could put it on Adored by the Network, but I don’t know if that’s the best idea. Any feedback?

In this case the hype would fall into the "ensembles and other groups" category which handles more complicated situations- the "On the fence" examples for instance have a discussion of Disney's Kid Coms in the 00s and 10s. Here, this is just one example of many in Nickelodeon's long history of hyping up shows with specials and big premiers in a "throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks" sort of way.

Adored by the Network might be a better fit if this is part of a larger pattern of heavy promotion for this specific show.

This Is Going to Be Huge if there is direct confirmation the network tried to really push it and it still got low viewership
