good news for hi hi puffy haters

[rksexy2finger]

the good thing is Hi Hi puffy might be ending with only 26 episodes and the bad thing is that Hi Hi puffy might be getting more mepisodes added on.

I don't understand, you say that there just goanna have 26 episodes but what, they are goanna have extra episodes? And how do you know this if you don't mind.

[Spike Mcdougal]

And havent there been more than 26 episodes so far

[One Radical Dude]

FYI, I don't know where you get the impression that HHPAY will be ending at 26 (or so) shows. With all the merchandise, been one of CN's highest rated shows, and the fact that it is airing on weeknights next week -- that may be a sign that this series won't be going away anytime soon. We'll see.

[Oni0]

Really, it has the highest ratings? If so can you show it because im really freak out now on what kids are watching this days.

[Freedom Fighter]

Just a note, tonight's premiere was Episode 26. Technically, we've only seen 25 though, as remember an episode featuring a tsunami is still unaired after it was pulled from the schedule prior to its premiere (because of the tsunami in Indonesia). Given that and Hurricane Katrina this year, that episode will probably never air ever.

Anyway, don't send mixed signals. Is the show done or not done?

Everyone, please ignore the topic starter.

He is nothing but an annoying troll who has gotten on my nerves over at TV.com.

[MRWU]

What are you kidding? 39 episodes have already been recorded. Waiting for another 13 to be greenlighted. Writers are already writing the scripts. Also a direct to DVD movie has been proposed.

The girls and Kaz had a float in NY's Thanksgiving Day parade. The Dolls are selling well.

Hey you "hate" the show. Dont watch it.

[The Wolverine]

As I said, ignore the troll.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Damn, what a tease. :(

[Jon Hanson]

The show got a float in the Macy's thanksgiving day parade, out of all the cartoon network shows that could have gotten floats, I think it's gonna be around a while.

[Mackaybear]

Well since I hate the show that means CN will air it forever and then put it on several times a day.


What gets depressing is the sort of shows that seem to find either an audience or a "champion" at CN these days.

Well at least this means that someone somewhere is getting to see and enjoy something that CN airs.

Though G_d knows there's precious little these days on CN that I enjoy. Just gonna wait it out and see if CN will get better or turn into TBS with a few more toons.

[Bunai]

its like people on TZ think:
"since i don't like this show...people outside this forum don't like it either"

:shrug: umm no

[Tak Mazé]

They're so cute when they're n00bs....
To me, this show is unique in the sense that some episodes I really enjoy watching, the first one in particular. The majority of episodes though, are just trash. I don't care for the cutesy, Flash, animé-imitation animation either. It looks cheap and un-interesting. The only thing this show has going for it in my opinion is the writing (come on, they haven't done too bad for the concept that's been handed to them) and the merchandising. Girls stuff sells well, for some reason. Oh well, that's just my opinion. It's not the worst show I've ever seen...

[rksexy2finger]

well just cuz the show get merchandise and stuff got nothing to do with the ratings.

[Wanted]

When we're talking about Cartoon Network, yes, it does.

EDIT: I just realized how wrong this statement was. Foster's Home has close to no merchandise.

[The Wolverine]

well just cuz the show get merchandise and stuff got nothing to do with the ratings.

Yes it does.

[Lazyboi13]

well just cuz the show get merchandise and stuff got nothing to do with the ratings.*bangs head on table so hard his head falls of*

YES.

IT.

DOES.

If no-one was watching the show then why would they buy the merchindise.

Its common ****ing sence damn it >_______________________________;;;;<

Not always true. You'll see college girls with Hello Kitty phone covers, purses and backpacks but you can bet your bottom dollar they're not watching it. Someone had a Hello Kitty picture as an MSN display picture, and when I mentioned it they were totally unaware that it was a TV show.

That's the only exception I can think of.

PPG merchandise as well. Tons of the stuff around here.

[Karl Olson]

Also, CN's very hit and miss about merchandising. Dexter's did better than a lot of CN originals (read: everything but PPG), but it was barely merchandised. PPG was merchandised into the ground in someways in America, yet internationally (read: Japan) it was handled even better, getting all sorts of related incindia and tie-ins and multiple DVD releases (including Limited Edition versions of the film, volume-by-volume releases of the TV and boxsets of the TV show that came with lots of extras and goodies.) Basically CN America (Read: TimeWarner in general unless the property is so insanely huge only a complete maladroit could fail in merchandising it,) is so hit and miss about merchandising that I wouldn't count it as sign that they have faith in the property in the long term. They are so mysterious in some ways lately that they could just easily announce another 26 episodes or announce that it's canceled at anytime.
