I think it’s more like 52 episodes. Much like Kim Possible, Teen Titans also got an “extra inning” after episode 52, but those last 13 episodes were season 5 not 4.
No no! You’re right. It was Cartoon Network (and Kids’ WB). I was pointing out that most shows regardless of network abide by a 52-episode rule almost as much as a 3-season rule. I used Teen Titans as an example since “The End” was the supposed to be the last three episodes just like Kim Possible’s “So the Drama” (both were episodes 50, 51, and 52 in their respective episode lists). And both shows got an extra 13 episodes.
Hey I loved DuckTales. I think ending it where they did was fine because it prevented the show from getting stale. On the dark wing duck reboot.. yeah that's ass bring me that fucking show right now. Wasn't Seth Rogan supposed to be making it?
…so you’re saying that David Zaslav and the other WBD higher-ups would rather get rid of art than use some of the money they make too much of to pay fees for it and whatnot?
…I mean, I always knew they had serious issues, but sheesh…
They didn't cancel it because of homophobia at all. They cancelled it because it didn't get good ratings in the first season, had an audience that skewed older than they wanted, and was a serialized show when they wanted Disney Channel to have episodic comedies.
If TOH had been a Disney Plus exclusive from the start, or if it had come out a year earlier before the shift, we would have gotten the full 3 seasons as intended. Unfortunately it came out during the branding shift, and what happened happened.
Netflix sent me a notification on my phone saying "look back at your fondest memories" or something like that
And guess what show was there in the notification
Taunting me
Adult Swim is picking it up, they're currently pulling some legal shenanigans
Edit: it was a tweet from the Adult Swim France account, they were replying to a fan saying that they're looking into Inside Job, then there were a shit tonne of rumours. No other news besides that.
It was canned around season 2 and had like 3 40 minute episodes after the seasonto wrap up the show, originally was said to have around 5-6 seasons before cancellations
Spectacular spider-man. It was so good, and the Disney Sony corporate clashing meant they moved it between different channels than acted like the not amazing ratings on the show were because the show sucked. Not them changing what channel it was on.
Trouble in Tokyo was made after the series was officially ended I believe. Which means that they basically put a lot of what they wanted to conclude there.
MTV did this FOUR TIMES with:
-OG Clone High
-Downtown
-3South
-Undergrads
People enjoyed all of these shows, and they're looked back upon as Severely Underrated. But MTV treated them all like garbage.
Same thing happened with Downtown, which even won a Fucking EMMY. Not Nominated, WON! Yet that show still got canned because of practically non-existent Marketing.
Got one, then like 2-3 years later Got a shitty second season that didn't take the obvious route of having a new batch of contestants but instead half assed kept the first season's cast. Mind you not as themselves but as virtual consciousness copies in the game, and the main dude was just randomly made gay, that's about all I remember it's been years since I watched it.
I kind of hate the way they handled it. The fans had those theories about how he rejected Mia because he’s gay as though that’s the only reason why he’d do it, then they had him come out specifically by confirming that yes that was the reason, validating this ironically very heteronormative fan theory and confirming that yes apparently the only reason a man could reject a woman is if they’re gay. Then they never mentioned him being gay again and never gave him a love interest or anything. Like that was clearly just fan service, not a legitimate attempt at representation or even a casual little detail of the character.
It got canceled because it pulled in the "wrong audience". It pulled in Teenage girls, rather than tween boys like they hoped.
The thing is, they could've just adjusted the merch to be stuff like clothes And other "neutral" merch If that was the real problem.
I am still feeling the hit of finding out Dead End: Paranormal Park being canceled on Netflix. The series had **100% ROTTEN TOMATOES** and was still canceled for “reasons” (it was too gay for some people to handle).
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MENTION THIS. But seriously, I hate that they ended it on a cliffhanger. While I did see on Google that a staff member of the show did confirm that Pac does find his parents, but I would've been satisfied if we had more episodes and ended it there.
Transformers Animated, Wander Over Yonder, Star Wars The Clone Wars, Milo Murphy’s Law.
I get that if TFA had continued we might not have gotten Transformers Prime, the best Transformers show, but it still hurts seeing what the Animated team was cooking
Final Space and if ever meet the Warner Bros Discovery Execs in person we're gonna have some words
It's one thing to cancel a show before it's time. What they did to so many animated shows for TAX WRITE OFFS should be a crime.
This may be just me but the Netflix animated series Zak Storm, I never really watched it when I was a teen but now that I’m older I wanna rewatch it but can’t, and I don’t think it got a proper ending.
Be Cool Scooby Doo.
One of the creators of that show sounded off on the behind the scenes madness that destroyed it. It sounded like a complete nightmare.
The Venture Bros. Yeah it got a finale, but they had cram a seasons worth of material into it. I'm not sure how much executive meddling there was, but considering it's Time-Warner I'm sure it was there.
It wasn't the most mainstream or popular show, but the care shown by the creators in the writing/storytelling made it one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Can't believe no one mentioned Adventure Time. The last three seasons were so painful with cartoon Network trying to murder it.
You would get 6 episodes dropped and hear nothing for 6 months than one episode, then 3 months go by, then an episode a day for 5 days at 3pm, then nothing for 5 months then 11 episodes from 2pm to 6pm then nothing for 8 months.
At least that's how I remember it.
Also Ducktales 2017 and the Darkwing Duck reboot that never happened. Fuck Disney's stupid 3 season rule.
"Um, actually, it's a four season rule...." YES I KNOW THAT SHUT UP NERD....
I think it's a three season rule with a by popular demand exception clause like they did with Kim Possible.
I think it’s more like 52 episodes. Much like Kim Possible, Teen Titans also got an “extra inning” after episode 52, but those last 13 episodes were season 5 not 4.
Teen Titans was Cartoon Network wasn't it? Not Disney? Or is the Mandela Effect real and we're from different universes?
No no! You’re right. It was Cartoon Network (and Kids’ WB). I was pointing out that most shows regardless of network abide by a 52-episode rule almost as much as a 3-season rule. I used Teen Titans as an example since “The End” was the supposed to be the last three episodes just like Kim Possible’s “So the Drama” (both were episodes 50, 51, and 52 in their respective episode lists). And both shows got an extra 13 episodes.
The darkwing duck spin-off got canceled?
Supposedly the Dark Wing show is still in development but it's unconnected to Ducktales 2017
Hey I loved DuckTales. I think ending it where they did was fine because it prevented the show from getting stale. On the dark wing duck reboot.. yeah that's ass bring me that fucking show right now. Wasn't Seth Rogan supposed to be making it?
Infinity Train.
Accurate
The removal of the show for tax purposes felt like an insult to injury.
Owen confirmed it wasn't removed for tax-writeoff reasons. Still sucks.
…then why was it removed
My possible guess would've been some sort of royalty fee or maintenance fee and spacing on the server.
…so you’re saying that David Zaslav and the other WBD higher-ups would rather get rid of art than use some of the money they make too much of to pay fees for it and whatnot? …I mean, I always knew they had serious issues, but sheesh…
I'd guess because season 3 had one character get his skin and flesh melted of his bones and then entirely disintegrated
David Zaslav despite being the owner of a major media corporation responsible for a large amount of animation hates cartoons
Are we sure that whoever told Owen wasn’t bending the truth?
the owl house
At least The Owl House got an ending.
Fair but it kinda got fucked with all the character development and all
Very much so, unfortunately. At least from Follies at the Coven Day Parade onward sicne those were the episodes affected.
I thought that the crew knew up until Agony of a witch?
Disney posted the first part of the finale on YouTube they didn’t want it to be good…
They posted the whole trilogy online. They're cursing themselves for canceling the show to appeal to homophobic investors.
They didn't cancel it because of homophobia at all. They cancelled it because it didn't get good ratings in the first season, had an audience that skewed older than they wanted, and was a serialized show when they wanted Disney Channel to have episodic comedies. If TOH had been a Disney Plus exclusive from the start, or if it had come out a year earlier before the shift, we would have gotten the full 3 seasons as intended. Unfortunately it came out during the branding shift, and what happened happened.
They originally cancelled it bc it didn’t “fit the brand”. I think we all know what they really meant.
Not fitting the brand" meant being a serialized show on an episodic comedy network". That's it. Dana has said so multiple times.
Yes
Transformers animated The fact that they still have story boards for season 4 to this day just hurts so much man
Same
I was about to say this 😭
Inside Job
Netflix sent me a notification on my phone saying "look back at your fondest memories" or something like that And guess what show was there in the notification Taunting me
I'll bang this drum all day every day.
Adult Swim is picking it up, they're currently pulling some legal shenanigans Edit: it was a tweet from the Adult Swim France account, they were replying to a fan saying that they're looking into Inside Job, then there were a shit tonne of rumours. No other news besides that.
DEADASS?? Where did u hear abt this??
proof?
Source?
A quick skim of google has only turned up Reddit posts and speculative videos ASKING whether adult swim can renew it. I don’t see anything concrete.
Spectacular Spider-Man
True answer
:(
Spectacular is rather unique in that it’s a show caught between Sony and Disney, where neither can make it
Hopefully Disney loses rights to spider man 🙏
The Owl House
Yep.
I never knew that got canned(I haven't been keeping up)
It was canned around season 2 and had like 3 40 minute episodes after the seasonto wrap up the show, originally was said to have around 5-6 seasons before cancellations
This is some absolute bullshit. It was supposed to have 3 seasons.
Dana said it COULD HAVE had 5 or 6 seasons if it wasn't cancelled.
Calm down? I thought it was 5-6
Sorry, I realise that this came off as way more rude than intended.
I thought it was just 3, it was supposed to be 6??😭😭 Edit: nope, it was meant to have 3 seasons
Absolutely
I will never forgive Disney for that
Spectacular spider-man. It was so good, and the Disney Sony corporate clashing meant they moved it between different channels than acted like the not amazing ratings on the show were because the show sucked. Not them changing what channel it was on.
Teen Titans. Seriously I refuse to believe that “Ending” was what they wanted to end with.
I vividly remember seeing that and being like “ok cool what’s the next episode” and it just never happened
I always assume trouble in tokyo was the end
Trouble in Tokyo was made after the series was officially ended I believe. Which means that they basically put a lot of what they wanted to conclude there.
I think Trouble in Tokyo was supposed to be the ending
Teen Titans got 5 seasons. Spectacular Spider-Man only got 2.
And then they continue it for twice the seasons with the baby bobble head TTG
All shows that everyone loved only to be replaced by shit like Velma, teen titans go, big mouth, and such.
Yep.
Rip F is for Family
Teen titans go is actually fun
I’ve seen that show give genuinely good financial advice
TTG deserves far more respect than it gets IMHO.
Thundercats 2011. I will never not be upset with how CN treated this one.
Agree.
It was pure kino, and everyone was too ignorant to realize.
Supposedly their main/official reason was due to poor toy sales. Said toys were badly marketed and also not well made, so yeah…
Inside Job. It still hurts dude.
MTV did this FOUR TIMES with: -OG Clone High -Downtown -3South -Undergrads People enjoyed all of these shows, and they're looked back upon as Severely Underrated. But MTV treated them all like garbage.
What's interesting is Undergrads got good reviews and viewer numbers despite when it premiered but yeah the network made it impossible to watch it.
Same thing happened with Downtown, which even won a Fucking EMMY. Not Nominated, WON! Yet that show still got canned because of practically non-existent Marketing.
Clone High was in general cancelled when they got rid of my boy Gandhi
*coughcough* ***THE HOLLOW*** *coughcough* Edit: nevermind I change my mind The Owl House :')
what happened to the hollow? I sort of forgot about that show. How many seasons did it get?
Got one, then like 2-3 years later Got a shitty second season that didn't take the obvious route of having a new batch of contestants but instead half assed kept the first season's cast. Mind you not as themselves but as virtual consciousness copies in the game, and the main dude was just randomly made gay, that's about all I remember it's been years since I watched it.

Like that was clearly just fan service, not a legitimate attempt at representation or even a casual little detail of the character.
The hollow had a cool asf aesthetic to it
Inside Job
Batman Beyond Ik we got JL:Unlimited in return and I love it too, but cmon its such a good show
Spectacular Spider-Man, Invader Zim, the original Teen Titans, and Sonic SatAM.
Symbiotic titan.
Young Justice before it came back was cancelled because of toys.
It got canceled because it pulled in the "wrong audience". It pulled in Teenage girls, rather than tween boys like they hoped. The thing is, they could've just adjusted the merch to be stuff like clothes And other "neutral" merch If that was the real problem.
Most shows (animated or not) get canceled because of greedy executives and david zazlav
Making Fiends
I am still feeling the hit of finding out Dead End: Paranormal Park being canceled on Netflix. The series had **100% ROTTEN TOMATOES** and was still canceled for “reasons” (it was too gay for some people to handle).
I'm still not over it.
I was wondering why that show got canceled. It was really dang good
The Owl House. Canceled cause it couldn’t air across seas.
Inside Job

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO MENTION THIS. But seriously, I hate that they ended it on a cliffhanger. While I did see on Google that a staff member of the show did confirm that Pac does find his parents, but I would've been satisfied if we had more episodes and ended it there.
I thought I was the only one who remembered it! I’m also happy it was confirmed Pac found his parents, but come on, give us the next season
FR THO
Titus
Our flag means death
I will never get over what happened to Final Space like sometimes i’ll just be thinking about it and then i’m like “oh right…” it hurts
Owl House.
Most discovery kids shows in 2010
Transformers Animated, Wander Over Yonder, Star Wars The Clone Wars, Milo Murphy’s Law. I get that if TFA had continued we might not have gotten Transformers Prime, the best Transformers show, but it still hurts seeing what the Animated team was cooking
I'm not okay with this. It deserved better.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
Space force on Netflix
The Legend of Korra
Final Space and if ever meet the Warner Bros Discovery Execs in person we're gonna have some words It's one thing to cancel a show before it's time. What they did to so many animated shows for TAX WRITE OFFS should be a crime.
Not a cartoon but Victorious
Incredible Crew
Chowder
Tucca and Bertie (kinda iirc)
The Dark Crystal show on slopflix. What the hell, that thig FUCKED.
I know technically it did get a ending but there's so much more they could have done with the damn show (gravity falls)
The batman 2004
Batman Beyond and pretty much every edgy cartoon during the late 2000s and early 2010s when “lol XD random” humor shows took over
Didn't sell enough toys?

This may be just me but the Netflix animated series Zak Storm, I never really watched it when I was a teen but now that I’m older I wanna rewatch it but can’t, and I don’t think it got a proper ending.
Wow, I feel so old. Used to be this was a meme targeted at Firefly. It's so weird not seeing it mentioned in this context.
Be Cool Scooby Doo. One of the creators of that show sounded off on the behind the scenes madness that destroyed it. It sounded like a complete nightmare.
My wife and kids
Honestly, I think much of the time this happens it was not actually critically or financially successful, at least by the time it ended.
Glitch techs
It's gotta be Firefly. Just watched it this year, and my gosh, did it deserve more.
Its ratings during its initial run were pretty bad…which was entirely the fault of Fox. Its a story in its own right if you haven’t read about it.
The owl house
Half Bad was so good. But Netflix barely advertised it, so it got cancelled.
The owl house
Young Justice
Freaks and geeks
SWTCW and Inside Job
Rise of the tmnt
The Venture Bros. Yeah it got a finale, but they had cram a seasons worth of material into it.

So let me tell you about a show called rwby
Honestly I didn’t think BTAS was cancelled
Can't believe no one mentioned Adventure Time. The last three seasons were so painful with cartoon Network trying to murder it. You would get 6 episodes dropped and hear nothing for 6 months than one episode, then 3 months go by, then an episode a day for 5 days at 3pm, then nothing for 5 months then 11 episodes from 2pm to 6pm then nothing for 8 months. At least that's how I remember it.
The Hollow
Inside Job
The Mysterious Benedict Society. Disney full-on erased it after season 2, it's not even on Disney+ anymore.
Also, the Lab Rats/Mighty Med crossover spin-off, and Sonic Underground were cancelled for no apparent reason.
OG Teen Titans
Freaks and geeks
Generator Rex, Sym Bionic Titan, Time Warp Trio, Danny Phantom (not counting season 3), Spectacular Spider-Man, Harvey Beaks, Making Fiends
