Sigh...Really CN? Really?

I'll try to keep this as simple as possible, and avoid saying what others have already said...

But seriously? This is a pretty big deal. This show that's been so big for almost a decade now, and is considered worthy of its own spin-off...and yet the spin-off is being rushed out the door DAILY? Are you KIDDING? And just when we were FINALLY going back to the 26-episode format? And the worst part is that a MAJORITY of the fanbase is probably fangirling/boying over this news right now because the dumb pre-teens that the show is aimed at LOVE the idea of one new episode per day. Australia did it with World Tour, Italy did it with Reloaded, and then, finally, CN "got with the program" and did it with Pahkitew. This is just absurd. Just because little kids would LOVE to eat nothing but candy for dinner doesn't mean you ACTUALLY do it. Rushing it all at once like this is great for a brief rush, but then dies down and leaves us all with a nasty hangover.

And I haven't kept up with CN since the mid-2000's when it first started going to sh** with crap like Foster's and semi-crap like KND, but from the majority of the comments here, it seems that CN has done this with other shows too. Wouldn't surprise me. But even then, it's bad enough that CN is flooded with utter bullsh** shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show, and all that nonsense, so that when they actually have ONE good show like Total Drama, they lump it in with all the others. I'm more than willing to believe that this is STILL their lingering bitterness over the fact that a mega-hit show like Total Drama WASN'T done by them - they're only "borrowing" a Canadian show, so they'll treat it like any immature brat would treat property that's not theirs. That was the reason for all the ridiculous dialogue editing in the first three seasons, and now it's the reason for the rushed airing of the last three seasons, and this.

All in all, I sincerely hope that THIS isn't what makes most of you guys think that CN is going down the tubes - trust me, it's BEEN that way. There's a reason, you know, why I gave up on both CN AND Nickelodeon quite a while ago, and subsequently, most American animated TV with it - as I've always maintained, both of them sucked and still do suck for two polar opposite reasons: While CN just keeps churning out crappy new shows a dime a dozen, Nickelodeon is clinging for dear life to its oldest shows (Spongebob, OddParents) and utterly choking the life, humor, and charm out of them until they're basically corpses pretending to be alive. Which one is worse? Only you can choose your poison. (Although Nick has also pulled this "rushed airing" crap with even its greatest show, Legend of Korra, so it seems they took a page straight out of the CN playbook of failure).

...So anyway. Let's get this over with, and then see whether or not the ratings and/or reviews will be enough to warrant THIS becoming its own series. Seeing as how it's airing in a primetime slot, I can easily see the ratings doing well. And reviews...well, let's try to put aside the crap airing schedule and still look at the quality, because I'm still convinced that this will be a good show nonetheless. Pahkitew was rushed as well, but still an awesome season.
