Who would have thought that years after Stephen Hillenburg’s passing that SpongeBob still reigns over all? Never count out with the sponge that lived under the pineapple. Also, Paw Patrol should not be over The Owl House.

That‘s just an insult to cute dogs.

Danna Terrance; I just don't get it! Lesbian, bisexual, and nonbinary representation, an LGBT youth kiss, I got rid of the cute annoying comedy relief side kick, I made the show "dark and edgy," I even told off all those right wing trolls who complained about my show!



Why is it losing in popularity to a show about dogs? Especially one that's... *gasp* a police officer?! Don't those trump supporters writing this awful show know ACAB?! And that little misogynist Ryder clearly favors male pups! Why else would he push the only girl to the sidelines all the time!?



Kinda answer your own question there Danna dumbass. People who care about actual quality instead of woke petty bullshit will take it wherever they can. Even if the only options are shows for preschoolers.

Ahh, Dana and her typical leftist millennial logic at her finest. Just like juggalos trying to explain how magnets work and shit.

If it's on Disney Plus it's up for grabs, I guess.

But isn't the Simpsons number one as the most streamed animated show on Disney+, even beating the likes of Bob's Burgers?

ANNNDNDD It's gone...

Leave it to hulu to fuck up good adult animation, (though i struggle to say moodok was "good") They cancelled Close Enough, Hit monkey's in the drain, Meanwhile despite also circling the drain Netflix keeps giving Rodger Black and Wacco o gun (and to a lesser extent Daniel Tosh) money to produce the same shit show (paradise PD and Farzar) AND new seasons and spin offs to Big Mouth.

HBO Max is going through some...odd changes right now. Infinity Train is probably never going to get a continuation unless stuff changes higher up.

As flawed as the show was, I still liked Steven Universe. CN really fucked it over in terms of how it was aired though.

Agree.

Steven is different from the other cal-arts shows, even if I cannot easily explain why? I think the difference is just the care. For as flawed as Steven could be, I at least get the impression that Rebecca cared about the show for more than just Twitter points. She had good music, a great setting, a pretty good plot idea, and relatively well-written characters. It is like AT in which I have to give the show credit in having the balls to take on some of the subject material it did even if not everything was a hit.

These types of reports are worthless. Some of those shows aren't even on the air, but are popular amongst people who lives their lives on twitter. Licensing Bluey or Paw Patrol is extremely valuable, while ladybug and owl house have virtually no interest amongst retailers. Bob's Burgers barely has a kids audience, and the demographics don't overalp between Seasme Street and Spongebob as kids demographics are measured in only 2-4 year increments. Kids age out of stuff quick, which is why it's rare to have a Spongebob which last decades and whose interest spans generations.

I guarantee you no television executive is looking at this report, but plenty of YouTube personalities will.

To be fair a lot of networks tried to license out their shows but no one was buying the merch.
  • Adventure Time: Had several figure lines, a few comics, some books, a couple of video games, apparel, and IIRC two gaming apps based off the series‘ Card Wars game. It petered out a little bit after the show ended.
  • Regular Show: Had some comics and two lines of figures, one of which was so hilariously bad it was actually mocked in-show. It petered out during the show‘s run. And no, it wasn’t the show’s line of Funko POPs.
  • Steven Universe: Probably one of the more merch-heavy IPs in recent history barring Ben 10. Had several lines of figures, plushies, children’s books, comics, food and drink ware, apparel, trading cards, video games (one app, one console game, and another app that was an Apple Arcade-exclusive until recently), tabletop games, and several vinyl soundtracks. This one hung on until earlier this year thanks to Daylight Curfew doing a run of pink varsity jackets based off of the one Steven wore in the movie and Future.
  • Gumball: AFAIK I’ve never seen any, if there was it was more than likely exclusive to CN’s now-defunct online store.
  • Gravity Falls: Has apparel, figures, books, comics, and IIRC a vinyl soundtrack.
  • Star Vs. The Forces of Evil: Had a line of Funko POPs that sold terribly and I can’t remember if it anything else.
Companies essentially learned that there’s no real incentive to licensing out their shows for merch, especially when the fandoms are perfectly fine making their own.

Star VS had that book that tried to retcon the fact Star was retarded to "I was just pretending lol".

So the book was saying she was faking being naive and over friendly?

If I'm remembering correctly, yes.

EDIT:
Having a bitch of a time finding a proper source for this, but I know it happened because I was in those /co/ threads at the time. Bizarre. The closest thing I could find was that her ineptitude with wandwork in S1 was retconned to "blowing off steam" from breaking up with Tom.

Commercials count right? I put on Pluto TV to watch Cops and get assaulted with this


Thanks Jews!

I used Pluto once because people were saying it was good for free TV, which it kinda is, but the commercials are SO NOT WORTH IT, especially when they play them on loop after each episode segment.

I remember being bombarded with ads for some medicine that can hide your hiv/aids from being detected on tests or some shit. One of their commercial had a black tranny with a white soyboy, the other one had two gay black dudes

Your commercials.
Here's more like the shit they're going to bring into pluto tv and sometimes random products. They know South America is enough "bigoted" to being against LGTB+ to stand a chance with those types of commercials.
