Cartoon Network Thinks Star Wars Fans Have No Life


In a move that completely snubs adult and teenage fans, Cartoon Network has tentatively poised Star Wars: Clone Wars to air on Saturday nights, according to Io9.com. That's right. Read it for yourself. Hopefully someone can convince Robert Sorcher that he's making a big ratings mistake before its too late.

Thanks to iam118 for the tip.

It looks to me like Sorcher isn't thinking beyond the vacuum of his staple Cartoon Network viewers and trying to decide a best time slot for them instead of understanding the magnitude of how many non-Cartoon Network watchers this series is going to bag, or might have bagged, had it been scheduled for any night other than Friday or Saturday. I don't know if Tivo-ing or DVR-ing still gives them ratings, but the majority of fans will not be canceling their Saturday night plans to sit in front of the television, that's for sure.

I would bet a good portion of the fan base will torrent the episodes as well, so the ratings are largely meaningless anymore.

Well you have to realize that this is really nothing new in the way that cartoon network operates. This is also the time slot that Justice League used to live in as well. The important thing to remember is that most likely this will be when they are airing new episodes but they tend to rerun them again on Sunday mornings and probably again during the week.

As the married man I am now, Saturday night is a good time for me to watch it.

Shoot, when I was with my wife, Saturday nights were usually "our" time, either going out to eat and seeing a movie, or staying home for a rental. It certainly wasn't "my" time, where I could watch something like Clone Wars that she was completely disinterested in. Then again, you have that awesome girl that drives all across the state with you scouting for collectibles. Don't take her for granted, boss.
