Cartoon Network Abruptly Pulls
DC Nation From October Lineup

 I miss Symbiotic Titan.

What i find really upsetting is that I’m not really surprised with this move. Since Young Justice premiered it has had the worst scheduling of any show I have ever seen. We have had new episodes of Red Dwarf before new Young Justice.  Just to put it in perspective here are the gaps in airing for YJ since it’s premiere on Nov. 26, 2010. 7 eps aired from  1/21/2011 thru 3/11. 7 ep air from 9/16 thru 11/18 break until 2012, 18 eps air from 3/3 thru 6/9 including the seamless gap between seasons 1 & 2 and now 2 ep air in oct and a hiatus until Janurary. I know we live in the age of the dvr but we also live in the age of the smartphone, facebook, and a million other ways they could have provided a programming schedule to viewers to avoid dissapointments like this. This being said I was Blindsided by the new Lego Star Wars Special, confused as hell as to when HTTYD would air, also you remained the show, makes it harder for people to identify outside of commercials. Adult swim in pretty weird with their production scheduling but at least they have a air date schedule online that they stick to.

So, the likely reason, Young Justice features characters DC LOST THE RIGHTS TO. These are the Milehouse characters, such as Static, Icon, and Rocket.

My 5 year old son has been asking all summer when Green Lantern (and Thundercats) would be on again, and then it finally was (with the exception of Thundercats – another jerk move since that show was phenomenal) and he was so excited.  Then I go to watch my recorded episodes from Saturday with him yesterday, and they’re both How To Train Your Dragon.  Nice trick, CN – you don’t tell the cable/satellite providers that you’re changing the shows, so they still show up as YJ and GL in the guide; yet you’re showing HTTYD and that’s what is ACTUALLY recorded.  And then when you finally address the windfall of your decision to pull the shows, you’ll say “While we realize that Young Justice and Green Lantern have loyal followings, our numbers indicate that How To Train Your Dragon has actually performed well during the haitus.” Yes, because you deliberately tricked DVR’s into tuning in to the network during the time when the other shows SHOULD be playing!!

Surprised in that the anniversary affected DC Nation.  The explanation still doesn’t make sense as nothing else was affected.

But that’s not the issue here.

Johns has no power over CN. If he has a sit down with them, they’ll listen to what he has to say pat him on the back and give him a t shirt and say “have a nice day and don’t forget to watch Regular Show”

An open call to action to anyone infuriated by Cartoon
Network’s recent decision to pull DC Nation.
Below is an email I sent to Cartoon Network. The short version of it is this; I
refuse to watch any of Turner Broadcasting’s networks, until DC Nation is back
on the air.

I encourage anyone to copy and edit my letter, or make one yourself, and send
it to Cartoon Network. More importantly, I urge you to join my boycott.
Together, we can show this broadcasting giant that they need us more than we
need them. Thank you.

Dear Cartoon Network,

I was sorely disappointed this past
Saturday to see that the new episodes of Young Justice and Green Lantern The
Animated Series did not air as scheduled. This schedule had been set more than
two weeks in advance and still appeared to be in effect less than eight hours
prior to the intended broadcast. I am furthermore astonished by your decision
to remove both of these programs from the broadcast schedule entirely for the
foreseeable future.

As retaliation for your abrupt,
inexcusable and imprudent actions, I am refusing watch your network, including
the Adult Swim block, until such time as Young Justice and Green Lantern have
returned to the broadcast schedule. Additionally, I will refuse to watch any
Turner Broadcasting System stations, including but not limited to, TBS, TNT,
The CW, Turner Classic Movies and CNN. (Yes, I will refuse to watch CNN during
the election season.)

I implore you to return these
programs to your schedule as soon as possible and to make the episodes you
pulled available for viewing either online, or through Comcast’s Xfinity On
Demand service. I have been a loyal viewer of your network for as long as it
has been available to me, over two-thirds of my life, and can scarcely imagine
television without it. Your actions alone have brought about this boycott.

Resentfully, [Name Here]

Smart move cartoon network, and an even better idea to keep the lineup still listed as if its still airing. I’m sure the kids and fans are happy about that. 

Kids WB was crap.

bull$h!t

very good point and what sucks even more when the shows come ack on and your like me and set DVR’s to recored NEW episodes I am puting money that the first 2 episodes of both shows will be missed as they will show up as already shown….Just a heads up to all DVR people out there. cause when i missed the saturday show though maybe a glitch on the channel so tried to watch SUNDAY and the tv did not show as new but Repeat.

Please will you guys start pokemon back?
I am a very big fan of it and I am very disappointed.
Please see to it.
