Well.. so much for a petition.
Nick replaced the only remaining Zim timeslot(1 pm Sundays) with an extra hour of Nickelodeon GAS.
So, what does this mean?
Either Nick is saying "F' YOU, FANS", a scheduling error took place, or another network has already picked up the rights.
a) SHAFTING THE FANS: Unlikely. We're talking about an afternoon timeslot on SUNDAY, people. Nick didn't even do that to Angry Beavers(they had moved it to weekday mornings before it died out). We need to get past the 1992 image we created of Nickelodeon being a bunch of people that cancel shows on a personal level. The 2002 Nickelodeon is a corporate machine. They don't have 'vendettas'.
b) SCHEDULING ERROR: Somewhat likely. Although the block of Nickelodeon GAS was pre-programmed, so it was obviously made with advance notice of a scheduling change. But it could happen, as it's happened before(once, an episode of Zim interrupted a Fairly Oddparents episode at 8:45).
c) CARTOON NETWORK?: Somewhat likely. We're gonna have to wait until February on this one, when they announce their 2002-2003 shows. It might not necessarily go to Cartoon Network. Anyone from UPN to Comedy Central to FOX to CN could've picked the show up if they paid the money, and CN is unfortunately the company with the smallest budget.
So, we'll just have to hope it's a scheduling error, and wait the next few weeks to see what develops.
