Justice League Re-Runs: As Far As The Eye Can See!

[JusticeLeagueLegion]

Doesn't that stink? After "The Enemy Below" Part Two they're just gonna re-run all the episodes all over again!

:mad: Typical! Just typical! :mad:

That's one thing I don't care for when it comes to CN.

Well, we gotta give them time to make these things. It's not like they can make them all in an afternoon. :)

Sure they can. Just look at BTAS's first season. 60 freakin' episodes.

But just the same, I have no gripes. 13 hour- to hour-and-a-half-long episodes is cool by me, especially when they're this good.

Kids WB did the same thing with STAS, ran the 3 part premiere, then 3 or 4 new episodes and then repeated those 6 or 7 stories. Really turned me off. Then I think they ran them again.

I hope we get new JL for Februray and May sweeps.

Y'know even BTAS ran re-runs after only the 16th episode and again after the 20th.

Before I was slapped upside the head with the reality of cartoon programming, I was hoping JL would give us 23 straight weeks of new shows, followed by 26 weeks of re-runs of those shows and then maybe another 3 week long repeat of the pilot (giving us 52 weeks of programming), which would lead right into season two. Oh well...

Yeah, when PPG came out, there were repeats of the first few episodes for a very long time. I can't say that I'm too shocked. Oh well, we can't expect to show all of them in a row without repeats, though that would certainly be what we'd all like to see.

[Karkull]

Relax, guys. In order for the show to remain a hit they need to space out the new material for as long as they can. Besides, there are people just finding out about the show and they need to be able to see it as well.

It's also not a new practice: December and January usually are loaded with repeats in order to save the new material for February Sweeps. I mean, look at what's the first new episode to air in February. It's no accident that Injustice For All--the one with Luthor and Batman--is heading off sweeps month. Repeats are a necessary evil.

[Toddman]

What you said is true Karkull, and while I know that it is a practical nightmare to show all the episodes new and continuously, doing that would still allow the producers to air new episodes during February sweeps.

And as far as new viewers getting caught up with the series as a whole, I could understand that more if every episode wasn't aired THREE times a week anyway.

I'm not really complaining, I'm just stating what would be nice in an ideal situation.

Maybe they sent the unaired ones back to the animation companies to be re-animated... :p

[BeastBoyWonder]

The three times a week thing is convienent, so most people would be able to catch/tape new episodes, so the re-airing of them is probably not necessary.
