Hmmm.........
Usually when a show gets a timeslot/day move like that, it does signal the end. But are they trying to increase viewership? I guess we'll just hafta wait and see.......
sgcaper says
Interesting move.
kennywr22 says
Well transformers is moving also so I don't think it means it's on it's way out.
captain N says
hmmm? Is this a good thing? The ratings have been up & down. Will this help?
VideoViper says
If the hub put in a solid Saturday morning cartoon lineup (Like we had as a kid) it would be a good thing. As this is where their core shows need to be played/replayed.
Because this is on the PM, I consider it a very bad time slot.
Unless the replay the episode 10x a week, then it may not matter. Both Friday & Saturday are slow TV periods as people (including families) are generally out somewhere. Sunday night people are usually home so that is considered a better timeslot.
Troynos says
At this point it doesn't matter.
The show is going on hiatus with an almost-year to year+ gap between when the last first season episode hits and the next season begins, if it even returns.
Any new fans built up due to the time change will leave before the show returns.
It will basically be starting over when/if it returns. Season one would undoubtedly be played in it's entirety before new episodes would start.
The ONLY benefit would be if the new episodes/timeslot get higher ratings as it would help influence the return after the movie has come and gone.
kennywr22 says
Never understood why the hub doesnt show prime or renegades Saturday mornings. Strange.
Troynos says
Saturday mornings are not as important for cartoons as they used to be.
I'll use my friends 10 year old as an example. Know what he's doing on saturday mornings? He's not watching cartoons. He's at soccer practice or games. If not soccer, then it's baseball.
The later timeslots make more sense because kids are more likely to be home.
But 7:30 on a saturday is an extremely odd time.
The 4:00ish on Friday made more sense. Kids are home after school waiting for mom/dad to get home to take them to practice which was usually after 5ish.
ThePreacher says
But even on a Saturday there might be people who accidentally witness the piece of garbage that they created. I think the only choice we have is to destroy the original prints so that others don't spend there time trying to claw their eyes out due to this amateurish abomination.
