Nope your pretty right on that I just got a reply from them!

Hi Nicky,

Thanks for taking the time to write to us with your comments. We appreciate receiving feedback from our viewers.

Unfortunately Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is not currently part of the TELETOON lineup. Please know that our decision to change a schedule or to remove a series from our line-up is not an easy one. There are a number of reasons why a show might be taken off the air. Often times a series will be removed for a season or two, and will return to the schedule at a later time. In order to improve TELETOON and to please our growing population of viewers, we are always in the process of acquiring new shows for our network. Therefore, some of our older shows need to be taken off the air to give a chance to new shows to carve out a place in the wonderful world of animation! And finally, in many cases, the license has expired for a series and we are no longer allowed to air it. In the case of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, the series is taking a short break but should return to the lineup at a later date

Thanks again for your message!

Sincerely,

JULIE BENOIT
Audience Relations Coordinator, TELETOON

Well there we go, now we HAVE an answer! It's not that bad as she says it will be back, but I still think we should nudge them a bit so they know the show is still popular. We don't want them to turn around and change their minds!

So all in all, I'm fairly happy. Sure I'll miss having Foster's on my TV (Apart from DVD's) but to know it will come back in a season (or two ._. I don't know if can stand that...) and we -can- still download them for our American buddies here. It won't be the same, but hopefully everyone has a connection or enough hard drive space that can handle it.

But really, what impresses me here is how quick they replied! Both Teletoon and YTV (I e-mailed them a bit ago about a Avatar: TLAB mix up) have upped their audience relations department! I remember in the old days you'd e-mail them and -maybe- get a reply five months latter and when you get it you forgot you sent it in the first place.
