It wasn't always like that. It used to just be broadcast television that had the Saturday morning cartoons in the days before cable television existed. And even when cable came around, it was still the broadcast networks that had the best shows for several years until the good ones started getting put on cable as well.babylon queen wrote:Why should they see Saturday morning cartoons on broadcast television when they have cable with the Disney channel, Nick, Cartoon Network, and Hub? They can see cartoons all day and every day and sometimes in the nighttime,too.

To me it's not just a matter of having cartoons on, but more so a matter of spending time as a family every Sat morning doing basically nothing but being together.

You know you can still do that, right? It's not like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Disney are prohibited from airing cartoons on Saturday morning.

Sabrblade wrote:The things is, these days, CN, Nick, and Disney just don't have shows that are as good on Saturdays mornings as they and the broadcast networks used to. Action shows were the king genre of Saturday morning cartoons for the longest time, and they've become a dying breed. Now it's all lackluster comedy shows on the levels of SpongeBob or worse.
The only cartoon currently airing on Nick that can be called really good and has new episodes still coming out is the current Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, which Nick only seems to keep airing because of their deal with Viacom (and thank goodness for that since that show is amazing).
And, yeah, Nick still has Book 4 of The Legend of Korra coming down the pipeline, but considering how they handled Book 3, I'm hesitant to think of that show as one that will actually be "airing" on Nick.

Pretty sure the reason Nick airs TMNT is because they outright bought the entire franchize a few years ago and have invested heavily in it since.
Korra won't be airing on Nick, it will be streamed online like the last few really brutal episodes of book 3.

It's not "mishandling." The show has been much more successful online than it was on TV.

Yes, it was so horrible, wasn't it? Now it's available to everyone, at any time, from a legit source, in a place where the censors are going to have a harder time getting to it.

Though, for a different case, some people might not be able to watch on Nick.com because of the system their using. Like, one of my coworkers has to use his PS4 to use the Internet, but he can't access certain streaming sites on it because of the type of media player used by those sites not being compatible with his system. But again, this also depends on whether Nick.com is one of those sites.
