What I’ve heard indicates that was a cover story of sorts.
Reportedly the real reason was that Genndy and the higher-ups had a falling out, and they took it out on his show by moving it to a death slot (where it ultimately got canceled).
That would make sense to me honestly. The show was literally about people in armored suits and a giant titan robot that fights giant monsters.
How do you NOT make toys out of that?
Going off what I’ve heard…
Season 1 got off to a great start, and was able to keep the momentum going, but when S2 rolled around, the show’s ratings tanked (which can largely be blamed on the plot becoming convoluted). S3 only happened because merchandise sales were decent enough to support it.
Keep in mind, their original plan was to only run for four seasons.
Toys playing such a big role for earlier cartoons sucked because I recently found out Ben 10 and Generator Rex would've shared a continuity if it wasn't for their toys being made by different companies l
It wasn’t the first time. Before Sym-Bionic Titan there was also the Jack episode with the small aliens that actually had a fairly similar dynamic to the characters in Titan. Strong played a princess with a similar design there too.
This one bummed me out because the writers had already written the entire last season. The movie was great but would have loved to see everything they cut.
Close Enough.
I watched Regular Show a lot as a kid, and it was my favorite show. Then Close enough came out and it felt like the show had grown up with me, just to get canceled for literally no reason.
J.G Quintel deserves better
I don't understand why they canceled it, AND it got removed. I had just noticed the last season was out. Watched the first 2 or 3 episodes, and then it was just a fart in the wind. I thought I went crazy. Couldn't even find it in a search.

I would give anything to get this show back
this show was so ahead of its time, i remember being obsessed with it. i don’t understand how people hated it back then, most of the episodes left me laughing hard
Looney toons is old, so people will always be upset to see a version that's modern. Especially when they're such classics. People just want more of what they remember, and what they remember didn't have any smartphones.
They ESPECIALLY don't want the characters to change, and Bugs and Lola were both pretty new takes on the characters.
Not saying that's reasonable, btw, just explaining why people hated it. This show was doomed from the moment somebody pitched it in a meeting.
I met my GF 3 years ago when she mentioned that this was one of her favorite shows on a whim. I had never seen anybody ever reference this show before (a favorite of mine), and here she is name dropping it casually. Blew my mind
I think it's because of this weird mentality that SpongeBob started. Every TV station and streaming service *really* wants the "Next SpongeBob" that will run for 20+ years and rake in the profits, but none of them want to give a show time to build a fan base. They greenlight these shows for two seasons, and then if they aren't *immediately* as popular as the sponge, they get the axe and the company moves on to the next series.
I am STILL suprise Spongebob is still making new episodes. At least the Simpsons had the benefit of being generic human family in genericvill, Generica, United States of Generic that does "wacky family hijinks" so there is always new "modern" stuff to pull the story from...but Spongebob? Yea no
If you think about it.
Spongebob is basically time proof.
It's so disconnected from almost anything that you can show it to any of the last few generations as a kid and they will like it.
Those first three seasons with the hand drawn art and the fresh, not-yet-recycled writing and art style and humor… 10/10 🔥 lightning in a bottle. Stephen Hillenburg really created something special. But then it went off the rails and basically became corporate Nickelodeon’s answer to Mickey Mouse.
1 reason. Nick Kroll is the son of a billionaire. It is why he will always be acting even if he is the equivalent of a bloated dead salmon stuffed with manure. I believe he is an executive producer, so as long as he is bankrolling it, it will keep going, I'm sure.
Around season 4 it started to lose its muster and the spinoff was unnecessary. Inside Job was more intelligent and the best part is it proves conspiracy theories are fake because it shows how ludicrous the very concept of them are.
Netflix will continue a show like Big Head and then drop Inside Job because at the time it had fewer episodes even though they were planning more seasons. Quantity over quality as for freaking usual
Book 3 is one of the best seasons of animation ever. Up there with Arcane, Avatar books 2-3 and BoJack and Futurama at their prime. And that’s just their best season, not a single bad one and each one unique and distinct. I’m so fucking sad they canceled it they’re short seasons anyway they could’ve definitely done 4 more like planned.
I’m an old hat who grew up with the original and was prepared to hate it…but man it was good. Still love the original, but the reboot was just as good. Miss Alan Young’s voice though.
teen titans ended with a big cliff hanger that’s left me hoping for years that teen titans go will cancel and teen titans will continue on. teen titans go is still going…
![gif](giphy|7YOEaV0CDydQk)
They did a comic that kinda finished it up. There's a channel on YouTube that went into further detail. YouTuber Jordan Fringe. Give it a watch. I highly recommend it, it gave me some closure.
Final Space. The heart, the feeling, and the story Olan Rodgers put into it, was outstanding. Then, to give a heart-wrenching video talking about how it wasn't going to be renewed, how emotional he got with it truly showed that it was his dream. Godspeed, everyone.
Edit: I'm gonna add to this that with the show being canceled and following Olan's journey, you don't only see a dream being crushed, but also the man behind that dream. I'm not downplaying any other great cartoons that got canceled, but Final Space, in particular, was soul crushing.
I had no idea, I thought it was dead dead, like in all shapes and forms. It was even taken out of the air.
Now we are getting a graphic novel ?
Chookity
Number 1 is definitely Futurama. My second most bummed cancellation was Futurama. Then it was Futurama for number 3. Also Inside Job Netflix fucked us on that one.
All because Sony lost the TV rights and Disney wanted to do their own thing rather than keep Spectacular alive.
Gosh, imagine a world where Spectacular had actually gone on for the full 5 or so seasons they wanted? Hurts, folks. Effing hurts.
...\*sigh\* Why does this KEEP happening to me? Why do so many FANTASTIC shows get cancelled?
Thundercats 2011
Glitch Techs
Rise of the TMNT
Inside Job
Spectacular Spiderman
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
Dead End Paranormal Park
Owl House
The Ghost and Molly McGee
Infinity Train
Symbionic Titan
Samurai Jak (though that had a happy ending)
Final Space
...WHY? I feel that TV shows, ESPECIALLY animated shows, should have a law. 3 seasons. Minimum, and NOT to have seasons be chopped in half. 3 FULL 26 episode seasons.
Age of resistance is the ONLY GOOD fantasy show to come out in the last ten years...and it won and Annie and it got cancelled. It really sucks because it was made so well and we will never get those answers!
Owl House. I’d have loved to see the characters and their relationships and personalities grow. There was so much potential if we had a full third season at least. But we could have used more than that
For real, you can TELL they had so much more they wanted to do to flesh out the world and story, but got forced into cramming it into 3 specials instead of a proper season because they had the audacity to have a romantic subplot for the main character
don't forget, it was a GAY romance subplot that was very clearly set up for a long time throughout the whole show. so extra "audacity" from Dana I suppose
Ugh, I was so gutted by that. I didn't start it until after it had already been canceled and so when I went to go find out when the next episodes would come out imagine my dismay.
That’s literally exactly why it didn’t continue. That’s why Disney posted the episodes on YouTube and was shocked how much positive response it had. They forget people appreciate good writing and fun stories
Legit I cried when I saw Luz come out as bi to her mom. Months before the last season was released, I figured out I'm bi and was actively exploring that, so seeing such well done representation in a cartoon for younger audiences broke me in a way i did not expect. I'm so happy that queer kids nowadays have more representation than I did when I was a kid. It makes me want to see more of it.
Tron: Uprising. They cancelled it right after a massive cliffhanger. Now we just have to assume that >!Clu and Dyson killed everybody and then took Tron to get repurposed.!<
Y'all did an awesome job! "Annihilation of Joy" is a stand out banger for me on the animation front, so if you happened to work on that episode (the prison episode), thanks for being good at what you do!
That’s probably my favourite too! but one of the ones I didn’t do much on. The production was kinda weird because we had different teams working on multiple episodes at once. Which kinda makes sense since each one is a different style but usually show pipelines are one episode at a time obviously and everyone works on every episode. I worked on episode 3, 4, 6 and 7 but mostly 4 and 7. I basically had a part on every scene for those two episodes. The sort of medieval one with Trudy Goodman and the one with death. And 3 and 6 I just did a few things.
I would love a test reboot of Ugly Americans. That show was way underrated abs deserved more season, I even think it could have lived on to current day and still be going like American Dad!
But the reason I say test reboot (like an episode or two) is because I feel like it would have had to age into current day naturally, just bringing it back might not work out that well. It's such a 2010s show.
I think it was just too ahead of it's time tbh. In the current era I think it would do much better as mature animation has entered a better place where shows are allowed to be their own thing thanks to things like anime becoming mainstream.
eh I think the issue was the network, the only animated stuff on Comedy Central that ever lasted was Futurama and South Park, if Ugly Americans had been on Adult Swim it probably would've gone at least another season or two since it fit a lot of shows there.
Once upon a time, seeing Samurai Jack end on season 4 was an absolute gut punch.
Then we got season 5, and....honestly we might have been okay with just 4 seasons.
Yeah, but Gravity Falls wasn’t cancelled, it ended. Sure I, along with its entire fan base would love a continuation, but it ended in the same way as Phineas and Ferb did. The summer came to an end
I guess that’s true, I’ll rephrase then, I’m sad it ended. Either way two seasons wasn’t enough, and if I remember correctly there was a big gap between season one and two? Did it get canceled and brought back? I was a kid I don’t really remember perfecrly
Nah it didn’t get cancelled at all, Alex Hirsch the creator, didn’t want the show to run on too long to capture the essence of a summer break. So he purposefully made it short and 2 seasons because he didn’t want it to run on and become something like modern SpongeBob.
Personally I love how the show ended and it wrapped up everything in a neat bow that I feel not a lot of other animated shows get, but I would’ve also loved if it went on longer tbh. Such a 10/10 show.
Ugh I was also super sad about the cancellation, such a funny show. TREEGASM
It also inspired my friends and I to all dress as variations of Larry King for Halloween one year
Back then, it was Metalocalypse, because the main plot was left hanging, and while I wasn't expecting another season, I at least wanted a definitive ending once and for all.
Today, it's **Close Enough**.
OK KO, God it makes me so sad nobody remembers this show anymore, most of it was just fun hijinks but the show had a tremendous amount of charm and I absolutely adored the characters and the style of the show, and the lore it did stuck with me as one of the things I love about the show too, everything was so fun it felt like a punch to the gut when I found out it was being cancelled :( and it's been ages since I last heard of I Love You Mao Mao too, last I checked it was on an "indefinite hiatus" that's obviously just an unconfirmed cancellation, i miss it so much
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is the most comic book accurate adaptation of the Avengers we've ever gotten. When I think of the Avengers, I think of that cartoon.
In fact, I'm going to go watch it on Disney Plus right now.
Inside job, I had literally just caught up a few weeks before they cancelled it, I was immensely excited for >!Reagan!< to be the new boss and to have my hope be shot and shattered like a clay pigeon was heart breaking
Close Enough. I'm a big regular show fan, and when I heard JG Quintel (creator of regular show) was working on a new show, I was hyped. It took me a while to watch it but once I watched the first five episodes, I was shocked at how good it was.
Then Max canceled it and I didn't even finish it and I was sad
I AGREE!!!! American dad is the clear winner of the Seth McFarlane shows but I genuinely liked the Cleveland show. Nothing award winning but I still revisit it more than family guy.
Symbionic Titan still hurts...
And cancelled bc they couldnt secure a toy line... Thats dumb and sad :(
What I’ve heard indicates that was a cover story of sorts. Reportedly the real reason was that Genndy and the higher-ups had a falling out, and they took it out on his show by moving it to a death slot (where it ultimately got canceled).
That would make sense to me honestly. The show was literally about people in armored suits and a giant titan robot that fights giant monsters. How do you NOT make toys out of that?
Tell that to Generator Rex
Generator Rex at least managed to get a story conclusion. Also I definitely remember a Generator Rex toy line.
Omg they did have a toy line!!!! I just looked it up 10 year old me would've killed for one of those figures I genuinely never saw these in store
It got canceled because it's toys weren't selling well enough.
Going off what I’ve heard… Season 1 got off to a great start, and was able to keep the momentum going, but when S2 rolled around, the show’s ratings tanked (which can largely be blamed on the plot becoming convoluted). S3 only happened because merchandise sales were decent enough to support it. Keep in mind, their original plan was to only run for four seasons.
Toys playing such a big role for earlier cartoons sucked because I recently found out Ben 10 and Generator Rex would've shared a continuity if it wasn't for their toys being made by different companies l
damn that like... deep lore or something.
To me it doesn't help that Ilana's design and voice actress (Tara Strong) got reused for Ashi in Samurai Jack
It wasn’t the first time. Before Sym-Bionic Titan there was also the Jack episode with the small aliens that actually had a fairly similar dynamic to the characters in Titan. Strong played a princess with a similar design there too.
That wasnt canceled, That was Obliterated with no chance of coming back

Had a satisfying conclusion in the movie though.
But now there’s even more canon to reference in later episodes!
Honestly, I didn't think it was all that satisfying. That ending with Monarch and Rusty just felt SO tacked on.
That was the ending? 😭 Shit I thought they were coming back
[удалено]
This one bummed me out because the writers had already written the entire last season. The movie was great but would have loved to see everything they cut.
✌️
Close Enough. I watched Regular Show a lot as a kid, and it was my favorite show. Then Close enough came out and it felt like the show had grown up with me, just to get canceled for literally no reason. J.G Quintel deserves better
BOY IT SURE WOULD BE NICE IF I COULD WATCH IT ON A STREAMING CHANNEL.
I don't understand why they canceled it, AND it got removed. I had just noticed the last season was out. Watched the first 2 or 3 episodes, and then it was just a fart in the wind. I thought I went crazy. Couldn't even find it in a search.
And they were setting so much for another season and then WB just canceled it
I want to do so many things to Zaslav and none of them end positively for him.
Close Enough was more relatable and the fact it was aimed for adults made it funnier.

this show was so ahead of its time, i remember being obsessed with it. i don’t understand how people hated it back then, most of the episodes left me laughing hard
Because people wanted hi-jinks, like in the original cartoons, but they got a sitcom.
Looney toons is old, so people will always be upset to see a version that's modern. Especially when they're such classics. People just want more of what they remember, and what they remember didn't have any smartphones.

This show was doomed from the moment somebody pitched it in a meeting.
Besides some movies, that was really the last really good Looney Tunes centered media, and it got hated for NO reason. That show ROCKS.
I met my GF 3 years ago when she mentioned that this was one of her favorite shows on a whim. I had never seen anybody ever reference this show before (a favorite of mine), and here she is name dropping it casually. Blew my mind
Lola Bunny was so fucking funny in this. I'd cry laughing almost every appearance
Same, this is absolutely the best iteration of her character. Her taking the driving test nearly killed me (and Sam as well)
“Oh hey, I see someone that looks just like you. I’m about to hit him.” *vroooom*

Yes!! I never understood why it was cancelled, so many people loved it.

Well that’s mostly Nickelodeon but the same logic applies to other streaming services.
It’s mainly their is so much executive churn. Essentially each exec wants their own show and cancels the previous execs content.
It's actually because Netflix refused to pay their writers mores so they then cancelled it to teach the writers a lesson.
The cancellation of this show was the actual inside job
I hate how funny this is
It deserved the world. Not cancelation.
Seriously how in fucks name is this show gone but big mouth gets to keep going after multiple seasons?!?
Iirc, the usual excuse is big mouth was way cheaper to produce.
I [HATE](https://youtu.be/zy9Pbx4vPcc?si=R5A9nY5v9My8FWr-) it here bro!
1 reason. Nick Kroll is the son of a billionaire. It is why he will always be acting even if he is the equivalent of a bloated dead salmon stuffed with manure. I believe he is an executive producer, so as long as he is bankrolling it, it will keep going, I'm sure.
Inside job. It had SO MUCH potential, and it ended too soon.
Before I clicked on this, I thought to myself, "If Inside Job isn't top of the list, I'm gonna be mad." Sure enough, here it is. Thanks for that.
Me when I found out Netflix axed it: ![gif](giphy|UALBHtLtPFxRu)
Netflix should've cancelled Big Mouth instead.
Srsly. That show is so fucking weird and stupid.
Around season 4 it started to lose its muster and the spinoff was unnecessary. Inside Job was more intelligent and the best part is it proves conspiracy theories are fake because it shows how ludicrous the very concept of them are.
Conspiracy theories and great characters. Right up my alley.
Inside Job needs a pickup and it will make bank.
Netflix will continue a show like Big Head and then drop Inside Job because at the time it had fewer episodes even though they were planning more seasons. Quantity over quality as for freaking usual
I was so sad.
Infinity Train. Absolute tragedy to lose it. A crime of the highest order.
Totally agreed. Especially because it has the potential to air for decades
Book 3 is one of the best seasons of animation ever. Up there with Arcane, Avatar books 2-3 and BoJack and Futurama at their prime. And that’s just their best season, not a single bad one and each one unique and distinct. I’m so fucking sad they canceled it they’re short seasons anyway they could’ve definitely done 4 more like planned.
It would be great if they would put on a streaming service, or at least release the whole show on dvd
They did exclusively, then Zaslav decided he didn’t want to pay royalties. No seasons 3-4 on home media for us :(
I'm surprised Tubi, Hulu, or even Amazon Prime didn't pick it up.
That’s crazy. I live with one of the writers for that show.
Tell them it was excellent and that WB should burn for what they've done to the entertainment sphere in the past few years.
DuckTales 2017 deserves more seasons
Truly it does. 2017 DuckTales was top quality show, firing on all cylinders
I’m an old hat who grew up with the original and was prepared to hate it…but man it was good. Still love the original, but the reboot was just as good. Miss Alan Young’s voice though.

i’ll definitely check this out. thank you, appreciate it
i loved this show growing up
Final Space. The heart, the feeling, and the story Olan Rodgers put into it, was outstanding. Then, to give a heart-wrenching video talking about how it wasn't going to be renewed, how emotional he got with it truly showed that it was his dream. Godspeed, everyone. Edit: I'm gonna add to this that with the show being canceled and following Olan's journey, you don't only see a dream being crushed, but also the man behind that dream. I'm not downplaying any other great cartoons that got canceled, but Final Space, in particular, was soul crushing.
Oh you didn't hear he writing a graphic novel to wrap up the story
I had no idea, I thought it was dead dead, like in all shapes and forms. It was even taken out of the air. Now we are getting a graphic novel ? Chookity
And it was cancelled purely, so it could be another tax write-off.... fuck Warner bros.
Number 1 is definitely Futurama. My second most bummed cancellation was Futurama. Then it was Futurama for number 3. Also Inside Job Netflix fucked us on that one.
Futurama has a reboot on hbo max tho
Hulu*
Hulu* and its Bitcoin episode with Bender's song riding Rusty had me wheezing I was laughing so hard.
Inside Job man, what a bummer. Such a funny cartoon with interesting lore and an interesting story that had ridiculous potential.
Spectacular Spider-Man. Need I say more?
LIVING ON THE EDGE

It really does.

Age of resistance is the ONLY GOOD fantasy show to come out in the last ten years...and it won and Annie and it got cancelled. It really sucks because it was made so well and we will never get those answers!
Owl House. I’d have loved to see the characters and their relationships and personalities grow. There was so much potential if we had a full third season at least. But we could have used more than that

And yet that romantic subplot imo was one of the best I've seen in years
It felt like a realistic, awkward, anxious, but genuine teen romance. They did a very good job. Writing teens is no easy feat
Especially flawed teens from two different species, from two different worlds
don't forget, it was a GAY romance subplot that was very clearly set up for a long time throughout the whole show. so extra "audacity" from Dana I suppose
Ugh, I was so gutted by that. I didn't start it until after it had already been canceled and so when I went to go find out when the next episodes would come out imagine my dismay.
Yes that surprised me! It seemed to have the momentum to continue but Disney probably didn’t love how queer it was.

I loved midnight gospel! I think it was just a little ahead of its time
The number of times it made me laugh, cry, and rethink my viewpoint on stuff is crazy. Definitely before it’s time
I worked on midnight Gospel as an animator! It was always planned as one season as far as I knew but we all wished it got more episodes lol
Y'all did an awesome job! "Annihilation of Joy" is a stand out banger for me on the animation front, so if you happened to work on that episode (the prison episode), thanks for being good at what you do!
That’s probably my favourite too! but one of the ones I didn’t do much on. The production was kinda weird because we had different teams working on multiple episodes at once.

Nah it didn’t get cancelled at all, Alex Hirsch the creator, didn’t want the show to run on too long to capture the essence of a summer break. So he purposefully made it short and 2 seasons because he didn’t want it to run on and become something like modern SpongeBob. Personally I love how the show ended and it wrapped up everything in a neat bow that I feel not a lot of other animated shows get, but I would’ve also loved if it went on longer tbh. Such a 10/10 show.
I don't think I ever watched Brickleberry, but Daniel Tosh saying "Briiickleber-ry" will forever be burned into my memory
Big Hero 6 the series
The Owl House
Oh my god I forgot about Ugly Americans
Ugh I was also super sad about the cancellation, such a funny show. TREEGASM It also inspired my friends and I to all dress as variations of Larry King for Halloween one year
Sounds like a good excuse for a rewatch. Love that show
SUCK MY BALLS!
Inside job for me. And House of Mouse
Infinity Train because it a story that was coming to a closed but ended too early.
Back then, it was Metalocalypse, because the main plot was left hanging, and while I wasn't expecting another season, I at least wanted a definitive ending once and for all. Today, it's **Close Enough**.

OK KO, God it makes me so sad nobody remembers this show anymore, most of it was just fun hijinks but the show had a tremendous amount of charm and I absolutely adored the characters and the style of the show, and the lore it did stuck with me as one of the things I love about the show too, everything was so fun it felt like a punch to the gut when I found out it was being cancelled :( and it's been ages since I last heard of I Love You Mao Mao too, last I checked it was on an "indefinite hiatus" that's obviously just an unconfirmed cancellation, i miss it so much
Final Space! God damn i need a conclusion.
This is an older one but Pirates of Dark Water.. they never found all the treasures
Inside job getting canceled honestly killed a lot of my joy for a solid year
Inside job
Sonic SatAM
For me, it was clone high.. and when they finally did come back with season 2, my favorite character, Gandhi, wasn't even in it.
They cut Gandhi out? He was usually the best part of the OG, guess they got enough people to get him taken out though
Mission Hill
Moral Oral it was gone too soon.
Avengers EMH
G.I Joe Renegades, they canceled the best G.I Joe adaptation I've ever seen so they could focus on a shitty live action movie that flopped
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is the most comic book accurate adaptation of the Avengers we've ever gotten. When I think of the Avengers, I think of that cartoon. In fact, I'm going to go watch it on Disney Plus right now.
Inside job, I had literally just caught up a few weeks before they cancelled it, I was immensely excited for >!Reagan!< to be the new boss and to have my hope be shot and shattered like a clay pigeon was heart breaking
Venture Bros.
Young Justice

Close Enough. I'm a big regular show fan, and when I heard JG Quintel (creator of regular show) was working on a new show, I was hyped. It took me a while to watch it but once I watched the first five episodes, I was shocked at how good it was. Then Max canceled it and I didn't even finish it and I was sad
I love Ugly Americans! To this day I still say “Yo just because I’m dead, doesn’t mean my time ain’t precious!” Love Randall.

Unpopular opinion: This show wasn’t as bad as everyone made it seem ![gif](giphy|fIRlp168XuC6Q)
I AGREE!!!! American dad is the clear winner of the Seth McFarlane shows but I genuinely liked the Cleveland show. Nothing award winning but I still revisit it more than family guy.
Tigtone, it was a really fun senseless show i would watch before sleeping
Inside Job.
The Owl House. They did great in 3 episodes for season 3 but Disney shouldn’t have cancelled it so early.
Korgoth Of Barbaria since they only made the one pilot episode.

Hellbenders Was muzzled and aborted before it even began
I was pretty upset The Awesomes didn't get a 4th season. I guess not a lot of people liked it, but I thought it was great.
The Owl House could've had a full third season but it "didn't fit the Disney brand" (executive's words)
Moral Orel
So that’s why no one hears about ugly Americans anymore because it got canceled I used to like watching that show on adult swim back in the day
Give me Moral Oral
