It is not the length of the show that matters. It is how good the show was while it lasted that matters. Yes it sucks that Young Justice only gets 46 episodes and Green Lantern only got twenty six but the shows had very good runs so I can't complain. I would rather a show end when it is still good then to last long enough for me to hate it.
Also online petitions don't work if you want to save these shows watch the final episodes, tell other people to watch them and support the DVD releases. High DVD sales and ratings save a show, petitions do not. Online petitions can lie but ratings and DVD sales do not.
Agreed. Though in this era even that doesn't really say much (ratings and DVD sales) I rather if ever watch anything in real time nor do I buy DVD. I most likely wait for it on Netflix or if I do want to own it I download some of the better eps on my cousin's ipad. Really, I think such things are the reasons why we keep losing good shows because the Networks are still trapped in the 20th century. Who, How, When, and were people watch TV shows have changed dramatically and they don't seem to understand that. I think CN is pissed because not enough of their targeted demographics (7-14) cared to tune in and instead they got mostly the older teens and college crowd. But then I do dare say that I think that's IS the main age group that watch animated series now. I haven't been in a early education center in a while but last time I was most of the youngsters were into live action shows like icarly, WWE, Hanna montanta, and Jake and Josh. NOT Spongebob, animated superheroes series, or cartoons in general. If they ARE into Superheroes its mainly from the summer movies their misguided parents took them to see. stare
Anyway personally, I don't watch very many live action series as all the sitcoms bleed into each other and have the same type of storylines. All the cop and drama shows seem to just be NYPD or West Wing remakes, and Reality shows of ALL types are just an insult to my intelligence and a waste of time IMPO. Basically its all been said and done at this point on American TV. Which is why I'm glad Netflix has so many international programs and movies.
What's really bad is that Cable and Satelite providers still use the very outdated Neilson box system to provide ratings. In this digital age that system should be obsolete. There should be ways to record all the viewers in this age and not just a sample of them.
Anyway all legal means should add to a show, that includes Cartoon Network's web site, Netflix, Hulu, Crackle and what ever. That if and when Cartoon Network and DC put their shows on Netflix watching the shows there should count toward "saving them."
Yeah it is a problem that the target age group would rather watch something else. Also they don't even have a loyalty to these shows. Kids tend to move on to the next show the moment an old one is gone and forget it ever existed. Hanna Montana might not even exist today. Also it should be known that I have nothing against live action shows, frankly rather then complain about shows I don't like I just ignore them.
