Actually, it's a valid reason. You see, the networks here work in such a way as to support each other. Adult Swim makes a ludicrous amount of money, yes. But that money is then used to help boost our less profitable networks and pay the expenses of the other departments which work within our company. For instance, while Adult Swim is profitable, Cartoon Network isn't, so Adult Swim's profits help prop up CTN. And both give money to support the Network Operations division of Turner which makes no money whatsoever. And what does Net Ops do? They put out the feed to the rest of the United States so you can watch your favorite shows, along with controlling the servers of digital information we store containing advertisements, promos, public service announcements, sports games, news clips, etc., to name just a couple of that division's functions.Sasha_Blue wrote:Yeah, they cancelled it because it would cost too much money. Bullshit!
Speaking of Barbarians, this is Barbarian
And as for Adult Swim, why make an expensive show that cuts into this supply of money when you can make a less expensive show which will still pull in the same amount of revenue, leaving you with more profit overall to devote to those other less-profitable divisions of the company?
Atleast from what I recall, that show was very stylish and well paced and had no nonsense, but I only ever watched a couple of episodes. I think I have it on my external hard drive though, ought to check it out some time.
