    Spongebob - DEAD? NO!

    Like This Thread!
    After reading the news, I have to say, I'm truly disappointed. Spongebob was one of the only decent shows on the network today. What I've seen of Invader Zim and Fairly Oddparents has been very good. Oh well...I only watched Nick occasionally.

    Surprising

    I thought that show was one of their most popular and perhaps marketable, but I guess the Klasky Cuspo programs have to have the market cornered on there. But then again, the "Slugbrats" didn't have any episodes for 4 years then they brought them back with the popularity of their reruns and look what happened, maybe they'll change their minds on this too eventually. I myself watched it occasionally and laughed, their star voice actor Tom Kenny{PPG, Catdog}is a favorite of mine.
    But ultimatly what disturbs me is the outright domination of Klasky Cuspo shows here, saying they won't touch them and they'll perhaps make them more powerful on the network. Hmm, anyone reminded of KWB's similar overdose of a certain show which helped get rid of other shows, anyone?

    Once again, raw greed rears its ugly head. Apparently networks can make more money through reruns than by making new episodes after a certain point. Then again, new episodes keeps a show popular.

    NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    STTYYYYUUUUPPPIIDDD NICK!

    Okay, sorry for the outburst, but Spongebob was a clever show. Tasteless a bit, but still very funny, also it was cool to me in part because a friend of mine is LITERALLY Spongebob except for the fact he's human...
    ...Squidward and Mr. Krab also...they were gold.

    So was SBSP cancelled for poor ratings or profitablility on reruns? Or does Klasky-Csuspo have something to do with this? Sorry for asking, but I'm seeing mixed reasons here...

    Stupid Nick...

    I didn't get to see much of Spongebob, Invader Zim, et. al. but one style taking over any network's animation is scary... especially the Klasky-Csupo style... ugh...

    I can't believe this! "Spongebob" is on its way out, not to mention (possibly) "Invader Zim", "Hey Arnold!" and "The Fairly Oddparents"? There are no words in the English language (at least, words that I can post here) to describe my absolute anger. A pox on the morons at Nickelodeon for commiting such a blasphemous crime.
    I feel that a big problem with today's society is that we don't listen to our fellow man -- especially when I'm talking.

    I don't understand...I've seen all this new SpongeBob Squarepants merchandise and stuff in the stores all over the place. Target was just recently named "the SpongeBob Squarepants Headquarters"...so why are they cancelling it now...it doesn't make any sense to me....

    If the show is in fact cancelled, it has to do with Nicktoons writers recent attempts to become a union in the WGA, which Nick shot down.

    Looks like it's time for a letter writing campaign, y'all. I'll send mine in when I get the chance.

    Ok, this is the sense of bravery or sense of stupidty---

    This is for Nick-If Spongebob goes, then we're taking Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain to Cartoon Network.


    Ok, maybe it's a sense of stupity.

    I've been talking with one of the artists for Invader Zim. He's a bit curious because he had not heard of Spongebob's demise(I imagine they're pretty far deep into working on the new Zim season to look outside their offices), but he did remember a lot of picketting outside.

    He's going to do some asking around today, to see if and why Spongebob was cancelled, especially at a time when it has reached its most popular value.

    Good to hear. Maybe it will turn out to be a bad rumor!

    Tough luck. I never really watched SBSP, but I have seen FOp & IZ, & happily so. Recently, I've even become interested in Hey Arnold. Wouldn't you know it. *shrug* *sigh*

    I read the update about it on the news page and have to say I am glad they are ending the show now that the creators are ending and that they didn't pass it on to another team of animators that could have cared less about the property.

    *Whew!* Okay, sorry about that outburst on Nick...never thought I'd be in the same boat as them in wanting SBSP.

    It IS good for someone to let go if he's not interested. We can see new quality stuff while the old project never gets remembered badly by us...sorta like how sports players keep staying in the game after thier prime.
    ....and remember Gennedy Tartovsky? He made TWO hits...and went back to his old one! So there's hope yet for SB...

    It is good for the old guard to bow out & for the show to shut down while it's on top. I've heard of what happened to Ren & Stimpy post-K, & we know what happened to Johnny Bravo post-Partible. Btw in the news thingy Mr. Wilson says the name of the show is withheld for security reasons er sum junk, but in this thread the show is mentioned. I say no more.
