You know, I'm fine with that. It's not preempting something that good, anyways.
But the schedule is pretty blah this week. The only things I'm looking forward to watching is TDI and Doctor Strange.

You'd think CN could've used this opportunity to air Halloween specials of cartoon shows and Halloween one-shots on Halloween, but no, Goosebumps is their top priority and its not even animated. I thought they were over their Goosebumps craze. I now know which channel I'm not watching this Halloween.
At least it won't be on weekdays anymore after this.

ALRIGHT!! AN ALL DAY LONG GOOSEBUMPS MARATHON!! WOOOT!! :D
^ It should be noted that the above was sarcasm.
I'm not thrilled that Goosebumps will be airing on Saturdays after October, it seems we're reliving last year only without Gym Partner and OOJH. But hey, for those who've checked the schedules for next week (and beyond), is Billy and Mandy sticking around??
I've never seen Dr. Strange, so I'll see it. It seems a little weird to see a Marvel movie on CN when the network is obviously a sister company of DC. Not that the network hasn't aired Marvel before, I just always find it weird to see Marvel on the network. Either way, the score for AF is:
Animated: 5
Live Action: 0 WOOT
And now let's take a trip to Sunday... Jack Frost. I'm not even going to say anything:
Animated: 6
Live Action: 12
HOORAY!!

Do you really mean that?
They're just airing the darn show because it's Halloween. By all accounts they're going to stop airing Goosebumps by the week after the holiday. There's no bias.
There's way too much drama regarding this "live action on CN" stuff. Really.

Do you really mean that?
When there exist many appropriate alternates and they instantly resort to live action then I can't really think of any other reasons except for biased feelings.
One way that they could incoporate live action films without it working outside the network's theme is to air movies which have an animated adaptation and acquire them.
For instance, air the Men In Black movie, then air the animated series.
Or better yet, take some of the most successful live action franchises and see about producing an animated show/movie to tie into said franchise. In this case Goosebumps.
There's way too much drama regarding this "live action on CN" stuff. Really.
The drama may be too much but it's justified. I mean the movies they air could fit on about every other network, yet I can't think of any non-animation network that would be willing to air The Batman VS Dracula or Animaniacs Wakko's Big Wish.
Now perhaps if other networks were to run animation more often, it wouldn't be an issue. Heck, we probably wouldn't even need a Cartoon Network if that was the case.

Doesn't Nick still have MIB:TAS?
And I said it once and I'll say it again. Networks don't buy or create entire series just because they premiere a movie, it's not cost-effective. If you ran a network, it would capsize in a little over a year, I'll bet.
Antiyonder
10-25-2008, 05:40 PM
it's not cost-effective.
But purchasing a show solely for the Halloween season is?:shrug:
Still, doesn't change the fact that live action was their instant choice rather than exploring other options (diversifying their schedules and shows).
Yes, but Halloween can be treated as a month-long event, and then can be re-used year after year as a special event. A movie premiere is a one-day only deal (one week if it's really major) and that's it. A month later, most likely nobody cares about the tie-in show.

I agree. While I'm not that happy with a Goosebumps day-long marathon, it does make sense considering how they brought it back this month. It looks like it will just air on Saturdays again after that. Even if it was on weekdays again, I wouldn't really mind since, instead of constantly complaining about it, I could simply watch/do something else. It's not that hard to do.
Anyway, not much for me this week outside of the new Pokemon episode and the new movie on Action Flicks. Maybe its just because of school, but I haven't felt in the Halloween mood lately. I'll see if I can watch some good Halloween specials later to change that. Maybe renting the Peanuts Halloween special, in case I missed the airing of it this year.

Considering Friday is Halloween, I'm seriously surprised some of you guys were expecting the schedule to simply stay the way it usually is. Whether they aired Goosebumps or something else Halloween-ish (say...Billy and Mandy) the odds were always in favor of Friday's schedule being different.
You would guys be complaining if it was a Billy and Mandy marathon? Or is this just an "I hate Goosebumps" sentiment?

I complain about excessive marathons in general yes. I'm a fan of Spongebob Squarepants, but as you've seen on the Nick boards, that doesn't stop me from complaining about the show's excessive airing.
But as I've said before on the Goosebumps live action front. They have plenty of alternatives that would keep the network's theme.
1. The many episodes of Pokemon which feature a Ghost Type.
2. Then you have pretty much all of the Batman Animated films. While they aren't set during the Halloween Season, they take place at night with the title character being in a bat costume (bats are associated with Halloween as well). And as we've seen, they are willing to air the films in question.
3. Scooby Doo episodes and movies need no explanation of course.
Those alternatives would be just as good as Goosebumps as those franchises in question do well outside of Halloween, are well known (Batman for one isn't only iconic, but has the movie franchise to his name). Plus again, they fit the cartoon theme of this network, so forgive me if my biased theory seems farfetched.
A movie premiere is a one-day only deal (one week if it's really major) and that's it. A month later, most likely nobody cares about the tie-in show.
If the cartoon is enjoyable, it will carry on past the airing of the movie.

Good news that Billy and Mandy's sticking around. And Chop Socky Chooks?? Boy, that was random. Why would they air the new episodes on Monday anyway?? It would make more sense to air premieres on DAS, I think the show is fitting of the block.

Whether it's Halloween or not, YAH has been something that Cartoon Network has been hyping up a good deal and it's doing well for them too. Doing a whole day long marathon that preempts YAH is a wrong move. I'm not saying they shouldn't air a marathon. Heck, I don't even care if Goosebumps is in the marathon! As long as it ends before YAH starts.
And yes, I'd still be ticked off if it was a Billy and Mandy marathon that preempted YAH. I've said ti once and I'll say it again, I'm unbiased towards these kinds of things.

Hey, it's only for one week. It's not like Goosebumps will be taking over Friday nights on CN from now on.
Of course, it remains to be seen if CN will continue to run Goosebumps after Halloween, like they did last year.
They are, for an hour before Action Flicks on Saturdays.
And Mickialla, there's also a new episode scheduled for Tuesday as well. The rest of the week didn't have "NEW" on it, though. :confused:

10-25-2008, 09:25 PM
Personally, the fact that I actually have to wait two weeks for a new TSS episode (starring V.V. Argost to boot) because of a Halloween marathon that CN thought should preempt the YAH action block for one night is horrible to me. They could have kept the block in, with the marathon ending right before the block. :shrug: I want Argost and a ancient, sunken city for crying out loud! Is that too much to ask? :sad:

But...it's Halloween night? You can't always get what you want, when you want it. Heck, FOX Sunday night fans are used to getting their shows interrupted by Football, Baseball and whatever else the network want's to pimp that night. Happens constantly.
Why would you guys want to sit around watching the same old thing on Halloween for anyway. Go out and do something. Or if you stay at home watch a horror movie, or some Halloween specials. Why would you want to do the same thing you do every Friday?

I guess I could go to my local library (prefer the one at the college though -- no kid smell), borrow Frankenstein, and read that over the weekend. Or I could rent a horror movie. Or watch Nicktoons Network's Laser Awesome (I am really behind in Avatar. Probably the only person who didn't see the finale). But I really was hoping for another episode of The Secret Saturdays to watch that night. But I suppose I must make do...hey, I could watch it on CN Video. Or watch Kiba, since I getting really behind in that.

I don't really think Halloween is a big ratings night anyway. Most of CN's target audience no doubt has other things to do. Why even air new episodes of anything? Anyone who wants to stay home and watch something Halloweenish could do worse the Goosebumps.
It's like complaining that your favorite programming is pre-empted on Christmas day. This stuff will be there the follow week: go enjoy the holiday.

Christmas is different for me. My parents don't ban that holiday and we pretty much celebrate it to the fullest. Happy times. :) But they do ban even doing anything for Halloween. I couldn't even go out and trick-or-treat when I was younger. :sad: So I NEED something good to watch or read on that holiday. :crying:

10-25-2008, 09:44 PM
I think DarthGonzo has a point; even though my days of trick-or-treating are long gone, I can remember that as a kid, I'd rather go out and get some candy or at least visit a haunted house over watching new episodes of a show that I can just catch the next day.
Even as an adolescent who doesn't have anything planned on Halloween and enjoys The Secret Saturdays and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I'm okay with missing new episodes of both shows for a week, since both of these show's target audiences will be too busy celebrating Halloween. I'm fine just staying home and celebrating the joys of black metal on this evilest of nights, and maybe see a Godzilla flick for myself. Maybe you should try something like that.

Excellent point. I completely agree. I didn't really realize that people were complaining about YHH being interrupted for the Goosebumps marathon. I just thought that they were just complaining about the marathon. On Halloween night, I wouldn't want to watch the usual kind of programs that they have every week. I'd much rather watch a Halloween special or a scary movie that I can personally handle than the usual Friday block. As you mentioned before, it isn't like it's going to be like that every week after Halloween. It looks like the anger has calm down, but I wanted to say my piece as well.
Mickialla
10-26-2008, 04:44 PM
I've accepted the preemption of YAH simply for one fact: Most people don't want to be home to watch TV on Halloween anyway, so showing premieres would be a waste because no one would watch them.
However, that point being made, I still find it illogical to air a marathon purely of Goosebumps. Heck, if no one's really going to watch it, wouldn't it make sense to show something with more variety just for the heck of it? show a general Halloween marathon with different Halloween specials rather than a pure Goosebumps marathon. Goosebumps can be in the marathon, but it shouldn't be the only thing in the marathon.

I might not have been as mad had it been Batman Returns or Batman Forever because the movie would be based on a comic, but of the three in that continuity, why Batman and Robin?? It's by far the worst. And it's also the last in the continuity. I'm not as mad because it's based on Batman, whose shows have been shown on CN for quite a while (From Superfriends all the way to Brave and the Bold). But, still, no good. I understand they're promoting Brave and the Bold, but hey, here's an idea:
Mask of the Phantasm

I'm laughing and it isn't because this is apparently the worst Batman movie in the franchise. No offense to anyone, but I'm laughing at how extreme your reactions are. I mean, the fact that Flicks is playing this movie, pretend, note pretend, that you should kill yourself? To me, that just seems way to extreme, even as a joke. You could simply not watch it. I don't plan on watching since I'll most likely have work to do and all of the negative reviews make me stay away from it. I remember my Dad and older brother going to see this movie in theater once. I don't think that they were happy with it either, but I'll ask my Dad later for the heck of it.
I also think that they wouldn't be able to get Batman Begins and air it on Flicks. For starters, this movie is most likely cheaper to air than Batman Begins. Batman Begins is also more of an action comic book movie, which wouldn't work for Flicks since that block mostly airs comedy-like movies. Based on what I've heard, Batman and Robin is so bad it qualifies as a comedy with its attempt at the action aspect.
I don't think people are complaining because it's live-action more as it is an abomination of mankind.

All opinions about live action movies airing on Cartoon Network aside, I've seen Batman & Robin, and it really is a bad movie. If B&R were animated, it would be a crappy animated movie. I won't be watching it, but not because it's live action, but just because it stinks.

Yeah, I'm only quoting the Nostalgia Critic here. Suicide in all actuality is very serious and I would never even think of doing something as stupid as such due to a bad movie airing on Cartoon Network; all I aimed to do was recite material from a character that I find funny and who went overly dramatic about having to sit down and watch the film. I hope you don't take anything I said seriously, okay?:)

They could have aired probably the first Batman movie since I'm not sure if they have the rights to the second one. I was actually thinking, with the comedy standards I mentioned, that they were going for that the film is so bad its funny bad, but I doubt that's the case here. I'm not trying to defend CN for airing this movie. Rather, I'm trying to explain why they would, even though that seems a tad hard. I doubt a lot of older fans would see this movie, provided they have either seen or read about this movie.
I don't think people are complaining because it's live-action more as it is an abomination of mankind.
I wasn't thinking that people were complaining about it being a live-action movie.

Considering Batman TBATB (I think) premieres that week, and Batman And Robin is part of the event, they're trying to promote it.
Plus, the schedule is consistent. It's just that no one notices it because it's noty in a rigid weekdays/weekend form.

No, it's not consistant, at least not the majority of the day. You cannot even make a case for that so I don't know why you're trying to. Unless your argument is that it's consistant at being inconsistant.
Asside from the weekday morning psuedo-action block and Johnny Test at 9PM the weekday schedule has little in common from day to day. You can't watch most times of the day for Monday - Friday and see the same show in that slot. That's what I mean. Some people like that and they're welcome to their opinions but I definently do not. I like to be able to know when the shows I want to watch are on. I'm far more likely to continue watching them if I knew where they would be airing. At least most of the premieres air at a time you can expect premieres... that much I appreciate.
And Batman and Robin airing once in the "event" doesn't really make it an "event" to promote Batman. Wouldn't there be better ways to promote Batman like uh... playing a marathon of The Batman or another action show? Perhaps that's what Saturdays airing on those days is for or perhaps it isn't. Far more likely the movie is just airing because they tend to have a mid-day movie and not for any other reason in particular but I'm pretty sure the only reason they're playing that movie at all is because of Brave and the Bold.

The only main change in primetime is 10 pm, which cycles between Chowder and Flapjack. Afternoons vary from day to day, but each day has a set schedule (example: The Monday lineup has been the same for months).

I watched a bit of it here and there as I was playing my DS. It was the only thing Halloween like on at the time that I could actually watch. I've seen better written scary stories on TV before, but its not that bad. The ghost Nood during the marathon was a nice plus too.
