KWB probs

[Printo]

Ive seen so many things about the hate towads pokemon. I hate it too. Its too much of an annoying thing, still too much even with the morning show gone. 13 times a week. 3 movies, a 4th one coming out. Home videos, video games, card games. It wont die!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder what KWB will do when pokemon craze is over. I said in 7th grade it would end before the end of 8th. I could never be so wrong. KWB will be screwed when the pokemon craze ends. Pogs will be back. Pogs: Gotta catch em' all!

I don't even watch KWB anymore but yhea their rating will go to the crapper quickly if Pokéhype goes as quickly as it came of course TW is like a 3 ton dinasor even though they are slow and dimwhitted they can take a beating and keep on ticking meaning in the short term TW can wait it out but if they don't have anything to replace it then they might have problem in the long run.

Of course if they put a huge marketting campine behind a new Pokémon show and a new movie and both floped bigtime then you might see TW squirm it would be even worse if they picked up AT&T as well there would be just too much of a loss for investors to ignore.

I used to play the video games, collect the cards, and watch excessive reruns. Now, I only watch the new episodes, and any new movie that comes out. But if the new episodes were cancelled before the series ends, I would be mad. I'll worry about that in May or June.

I will be screwed when Pokemon episodes end. Hopefully, a lack of other shows will make Kids WB purchase rights to every Japanese episode ever, and dub them.

KWB won't be going "down the toilet" for a long time. Even if Pokemon does fall eventually (actually, all shows do--even "good" ones), it'll just go back to the same routine of competition between ABC, Fox Kids and KWB until the next phenomenon...later, rinse, repeat.

Like I said it won't have any short term effects (unless WB timing is way off and puts a lot of money behind it just before it sinks) but if they don't find a replacement they might be in for some problems since WBA is not what it use to be thus they have to rely on other peoples shows

Yeah....maybe if WB treated the shows IT made with the attention it gave Pokemon, it would not have to worry....(grumble)

[James Harvey]

KWB...attempt to advertise their WB ANimated stuff? HA! They don't give those shows half they push they should. Then again, ZETA bites and STATIC is mediocre at best...

Yeah, like TMNT for example.

It would have a bigger problem. Pokemon would end! (and I am sure Pokemon has made a lot of money in the United States)

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

If you mean end in the sense of no new eppys, I doubt it. It's still a bigmoneymaker, and as long as ANY show gets new episodes, they will watch...I think. But 'Mon would still get plenty of viewers, I'm sure...

Oh, I think it could happen. The bosses could see something they like more, they'd stick P*k*m*n in a crappy time slot, play musical time slots without advertising, keep pushing the new thing while forgetting P*k*m*n exists, eventually the ratings'd get down to where theyt;d have an excuse to ax it. That's what happened to the Silver Age shows, right? Or they wouldn't even need the excuse; Road Rovers got higher ratings than Superman but goot axed anyway. If I'm wrong about any of this, tell me how they got flushed down the KWB toilet & you'll have how it could happen to P*k*m*n.
