Why was Foster's cancled? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Why was that creative little cartoon canceled? Do any of you know? I have heard many different possible reasons but I still am not sure.

We use to be real strict about members searching through existing posts to find an answer before starting a whole new thread. But as the forum is so slow lately, it hasn't been enforced for a while. But there are many threads about this very thing on here already.

I'd start with this thread, especially post number 47 as it was done by Craig McCracken himself. There is also this thread, started by Lauren Faust herself, and also this thread, all of which contain info as to why the show came to an end. It wasn't really "cancelled". They just stopped production, really. And it had a good run while it lasted. It lasted much longer than most other shows now days, and for that we are all right proud.

Oops sorry!

Thanks! I have looked around the forum a bit but i haven't seen these.

Do you think it is at all possible for either Lauren or Craig or someone else to continue the series if they'd wish?

Lynnie · 10-28-2012, 01:14 PM

There's the search function on the forum, in the upper right hand corner. Don't worry about it though.

It's been speculated that there could be a reunion show or "movie" after five or ten years of either the show premiering or ending, but we have no proof of it and neither Craig or Lauren have even confirmed an interest in doing that. Other than that slight possibility, no, I''m afraid our favorite show won't be making a come back.

Too bad.

After a bit of fanficing (Is that even a word?

) I have some cute stories that would make some good episodes!

Given that Craig and Cartoonless Network didn't part company on the best of terms, I think the chance of a reunion movie is unfortunately very low.

The main reason, in my opinion, would be that Foster's seemes to be going down slowly. I suppose it ain't so popular anymore, so no more viewers on CN. That goes on to the lack of money, so therefore they had to close it.

I don't know if anyone here agrees with it, but we can't do much to bring it back. The staff of CN is not influenced by what their viewers say.

That could be. But I've seen many different cartoons that are more likely to stop production for this reason yet are still continuing. (Like Jonny Test and a few others.)

Do you think it is in the least bit possible for a new writer to continue the series in the same style as Craig and Lauren or perhaps even run the script by them?

AcornBulb · 11-03-2012, 10:13 AM

Not really, since he doesn't own Craig's brain.

Just kidding. It could be a success, but it has chances to fail aswell.

Imaginary Dream · 11-03-2012, 10:18 AM

True, although I don't think Bloo can remain quiet forever. He'd rather grab onto a CN worker's leg and yell at them to continue his show.

Anything is possible.
