Oh, No...Astro Off Cartoon Network, Too?

[gbrycki]

It seems as if our hero has failed again. Anybody know if this DragonballZ Toonami snore-a-palooza marathon is permanent until their new schedule kicks in? What a disappointment. Astro Boy couldn't have tanked here, too...could it?

I know I'm being bitter here, but I'll never understand what people see in DragonballZ... :angry:

I e-mail KidsWB and asked them if they are in fact gooing to air Astro Boy again on April 19th. I hope they do because I liked the opening credits on WB better than Cartoon Network. It's almost like the Japanese version.

I'm having trouble understanding how the networks think these things can be popular if they keep taking them off and switching channels. <_<

Simple, American TV networks are like junkies. If you do not make that "quick hit", like the hit a drug gives you, then you will stop using it and go to some other stuff to get you high. The same goes for ratings. If the ratings are not hot out of the box, then the network will yank your program and put something else in its place to get that "quick hit".

All in all its our silly pursuit of "Instant Gratification" that fuels our impatience. :angry:

What episode are they up to showing on Cartoon Network in the US? You know at this rate i think Australia is gonna overtake the US in showing Astro Boy episodes I find that rather amusing seeing as we are always a little behind but its also pretty cool
