Funny enough, you guys would probably never guess what show nets us the most money at Cartoon Network...

Just Cartoon Network itself, or the whole channel? I'd have to go with Scooby Doo. The merchandizing for that property has been huge for forever.

Nope. It's not Scooby that is the money maker at CTN right now.

Ninjago. It actually brings in more money than any other show.

Oh man. What has this world come to when a show about Legos pulls in more money than shows that are actually funny and well-written?

Then again, don't forget Baywatch.

Look on the bright side, now you have something else to complain about rather than the just the Toonami line up :wink:

No accounting for taste, chief. The guys at CTN are glad it is doing so well, though believe me, they wish the top one was one of their own creations. It's hard to let the network's flagship title be something done jointly with another company.

But that should tell you a little more about the decisions made at CTN. Their age demographic is males, age 6-12. None of us are their target demographic. That is what Adult Swim is for. As for AS and their policies...I have no idea. They have a different location in Atlanta, across the interstate from us.
