Uh, perhaps we should be thankful that we're getting new episodes at all, instead of complaining that we're not getting them fast enough?

Ditchy McAbandonpants · 05-26-2007, 08:27 AM

Like I said, it's not that I'm complaining that the episodes aren't coming out fast enough, it's more that I'm concerned about the risk of wonky scheduling alienating the show's viewership. I mean, as Lauren mentioned, the network said it themselves: following a premiere with weeks of repeats causes viewers to tune out, and I'm sure that airing premieres at irregular intervals would cause problems too. Obviously the die-hard fans like ourselves are going to seek out every premiere come what may, so it's no skin off our noses, but the fact is that if a show is inconsistently scheduled, the general audience will just lose patience with it. And that's no good for any of us.

Of course, though, this is all worst-case scenario stuff; we're only two episodes in, so CN have plenty of time to settle the show back into a nice regular weekly/fortnightly premiere slot. In which case you can just ignore my alarmist claptrap.

I don't believe the show's targeted demographics would lose their patience. I agree with Cassini's statement; we should be thankful that we're actually getting new episodes period, instead of worrying about not getting them fast enough. I prefer NOT to have them air them all quickly, because then, we'll have complaints that things progressed too quickly.

Ditchy McAbandonpants · 05-26-2007, 06:38 PM

Gah...sorry to keep flogging this dead horse, guys, but I just want to make myself clear: it's not the speed that's an issue to me, it's the regularity. Slow episode release is fine; as you say, it makes the season last longer. Inconsistent episode release, on the other hand, always makes me panic a little, because the example of Futurama and others (even Seinfeld in the UK) have shown that audiences will abandon even the best shows if they're left guessing about when to find it...

...but if I'm honest, that really isn't an issue at this stage, so I'm not actually that concerned; I was more just speculating. The only reason I'm still going on about this is because I obviously phrased myself badly the first time...seriously, please just ignore me.

bloonuggets · 05-27-2007, 08:38 PM

Hey, don't worry, Ditch. They're starting to crank 'em out on a regular basis right now. Matter of fact, new episode's online here in the colonies right now.

montitech · 05-29-2007, 06:36 AM

I think Ditchy has a good point.

one of the primary issues I have with CN is their schedualing is really bad. THe timeslots keep changing for shows.

so for example, someone catches a single show once because they so happen to be channel surfing. A few weeks latter they cannot find the show, becaue it changed timeslots. It is common for CN to change timeslots of shows.
How many different evening scheduals did fosters have in the past 12 months. about 8 maybe with extra exceptions due to CN completley flipflopping the schedual whenever they think kids will be off from school.

A second example, Nicolodeon is so popular with kids because it keeps the schedual steady. kids know when the show is going on. How can a 8 year old insist on watching fosters, when the parents cannot find it at the same time week to week. currenly it is 2 eppisodes at 7, 2months ago it was one eppisode at 7, then there was one eppisode at 730, last fall it was one episode at 8.

Even Adult Swim does better schedualing than CN. I do not always like there shows but at least they are very consistant.

Sorry for the vent
