Want to know why?

Teen Titans portion

Wil: I guess this is as good a time as any to bring this up. You
know, Teen Titans has been cancelled. I know, I'm just as shocked as
you are.

Some new people came into Warner Bros. Feature Animation - new bosses
- and as part of their "We're here, we're the bosses, get used to it"
they had all of the existing shows come in and re-pitch - the
producers and writers had to come in. It didn't matter if the show
had been on the air for 10 years or 5 years or if it had only run 3
episodes - they had to come back in and re-pitch it.

The producers of Teen Titans, which I really think is one of the
greatest shows out of Warner Feature Animation in a very long time -
and I'm not just saying that because I work on it, I'm saying it
because it has this amazing crossover appeal to little kids and to
teenagers and also to - you know, there's even some college-age kids
who like the Teen Titans.

They had to go in and re-pitch it and for whatever reason the new
overlords over there didn't like it. There's a petition online, and
I'll put a link in the show notes (I've got to find it) - some of my
friends from Titans emailed me the link, where people can go and fill
out this petition. If enough people send notes to the new producer
folks over at Warner Bros. they may put the show back on the air.

Between you and me, most animated shows exist as a means of selling
action figures. That's why on the Simpsons, where Abe Simpson won the
award for writing Itchy and Scratchy, one of the nominated shows was
Action Figure Man (the How to Buy Action Figure Man episode).
Everybody knows it, and it's okay - it's not like it's a big secret
and it's not like it's anything to be ashamed of.

Well, let me tell you - Teen Titans sells action figures. Holy crap,
does it sell action figures! And all kinds of different ones, too!
Like, little playsets for kids, but also things like the giant weirdo
bobblehead Robins and Aqualads and Cyborgs that older kids like. So,
I don't know what the hell they were thinking. But, it's been
cancelled and it totally bums me out because I think it was a great
show and I was really excited and proud and happy to be a part of it.

So, if you're the type of person that signs online petitions, check
the show notes for this show and send a note off there that you like
them.

Hm, but does this mean that even if TT does come back to WB they will still just be playing re-runs? Or would this also bring a possible 6th season? (I'm a little confused about how this works, too)

byw: what happened to the rememeber the titans shrine?

Remember the Titans is not a shrine. It's the Shrine's site for Titans' tribute. I am still working on it. I am hoping I'll be done by mid-March
