BREAKING: Cartoon Network to air two more episodes

TheNumberOneShmuck · **on:** December 25, 2007, 06:31:43 AM

Okay, so anyone who's been keeping up with the schedule on CN's website hasn't been seeing anything on the LBT front for a long while now. But, hold on to your hats, they're airing Spooky Nighttime Adventure and The Lone Dinosaur Returns on the 7th and 8th of January, respectively.

Now, after holding off on airing anything, even reruns, for the past few months, then dropping this on us from nowhere,(which has happened before) , you have to wonder: "What the HELL is going through the minds of the people over at the Cartoon Network?" Sadly, the answer is probably "Not a damn thing". Let's hope they wise up and put the series on a stable timeslot.

We can hope but they may not do so. That is one of the many reasons I don't miss cable, since since the days when I had it it's gotten worst, including all the channels I use to watch.

It's great to see they're airing more eps even if they are reruns. Perhaps Universal got more money from the tv DVD's than they thought they would. Thanks to everyone who bought a legal copy.

13 episodes doesn't exactly equate to a regular timeslot....you need more.

There are more than 13 tv episodes Petire. There are 24, I believe. There are 13 movies (the original and the 12 sequels). I think they're gonna come out with many more LBT tv eps. They're probably just waiting until the next year. I mean, who wants to work so close to christmas and new years?

I was about to say... Only 13? 13 tv epesodes and 13 movies.. that seems like a most unlucky number if you ask me

TheNumberOneShmuck · **Reply #6 on:** December 25, 2007, 01:11:12 PM

Actually, this bumps it up to 16.

A DTV movie does not equal a tv series episode.

Actually, we were both wrong. There are 26 tv episodes in all:

Just like in the last topic, I was referring to the number of episodes CN has aired/will be airing.

And now, it's up to 17. Stranger from the Mysterious Above, January 9th. Looks like we might be getting a week of "new" episodes from the 7th to the 11th. Yay.

Hermit of Black Rock, January 10th; Cartoon Network seemingly regains some semblance of brain activity.

Lets hope it continues and they show the other episodes that they have not shown before.

Nick22 · **Reply #12 on:** December 27, 2007, 06:58:16 PM

I merely think they will show the the 13 episodes they have not aired previously... I doubt there will be a second season, but that's just me..

Kor · **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2007, 09:34:35 PM

I hope there will be, but we'll have to wait. If a series is moved around and such like I heard this one was that is a bad indication. Perhaps cartoon network didn't really care about it since they do not own it. Not sure how other places treat it in other countries. It may wind up like eagle riders. It showed only a few episodes here but the were all shown in Australia I heard.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #14 on:** December 28, 2007, 04:17:54 AM

I agree with Nick22. I don't think they'll have a second season. It doesn't seem to have been such a huge success with all the moving around they've been doing and all the problems they've been having. Besides, if it really was such a great success, they would have them all out on DVD by now. I mean, they already have the eps. They just have to put them onto DVD's, which isn't hard at all.

I disagree.

Makes me sort of wonder if there was some higher ups who changed around, or the deal for the series was made before they knew about it and they moved it around so it would fail. I read somewhere, that is what cbs did with the flash series, bought it so it would fail but no one else would get it.

To bad the folks who are in charge of LBT did not go the route that some go, syndication, like the Xena and Hercules series did. No network could cancel their show, gave them much more freedom. I think going with a single network is not very intelligent, though I know everyone will disagree with me, I don't really care.

It doesn't cost much to burn the disks.

: If they thought it would be profitable, they would have done it. The only reason they wouldn't is if they didn't think they were going to make enough money or if they had some sort of legal or licensing trouble.

Kor · **Reply #18 on:** December 28, 2007, 04:30:01 AM

Likely making a dvd is pretty cheap.

DarkHououmon · **Reply #19 on:** December 28, 2007, 04:30:47 AM

I'm sure it costs a lot to make hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of copies though.

I mentioned the show to dad sometime ago, last year I think, before the show premiered. Dad, right away, didn't like it, claiming they should have made the show in the mid-90s.
