Naruto's problems started before Toonami got cut so, wrong. (And, One Piece's (tv) problems didn't start till after 4kids.)

well, IF you are right, then I can't blame them, Naruto was on the filler arc...almost 100 episodes I think

and the filler stories were boring

I can't blame that

and I think changing the voice cast of a cartoon half way is wrong

I kinda threw me off for a day...but I liked them more like that

so the problem was...I guess...changing the voice crew in the middle of it

they should just have kept the old one...it was not good...but it would not have been a problem for the kids or people who watched the show...its just a guess
 
NBC was going to axe Chuck, but the fans cried and sent in letters and petitions:

Its the way people go about petitioning that makes or break them. Instead of bitching and moaning and fighting with each other like man-children, why don't you all get together and act mature and try to fight to keep the show.

There's nothing to keep. 4Kids is going to post the last two episodes online. Problem solved.
 
READ MY POST. They DID NOT air it consistently. That was the point of my post. They advertised it for one time and then AIRED IT at a completely different block. They switched the time slot THREE TIME where I live. And it was completely random because even TiVo still had the listing on the original time slot. I know this because I set it to record every showing of KRDK and a couple of times it recorded something completely different, with KRDK being listed for that time. If this is happening at other locations, I believe it's a fairly good guess that maybe that's a big part of why there were poor ratings.

That's an issue with your affiliate then. That has nothing to do with 4Kids.

Here's my question then. What are the actual numbers in comparison with ratings of other shows? Are the ratings for the show really that bad? Or are the ratings for all the shows 4Kids has about the same poor ratings and they just kicked out the new guy? I mean, it's not like 4Kids is known for their honesty or anything. They say they're canceling the show for their new airings in January, and yet there are hour blocks for three 30 minute shows that are all reruns because there are no new episodes for them.

You kick out the new guy because he's not their show, so they have less money to make off him. Say, Winx Club may get even worse ratings than Dragon Knight, but there's more money in it because it's their licensed property.

When a show is sabotaged from the beginning, yes it is a load of bull.

Yeah, they TOTALLY sabotaged this show by giving it a timeslot on their block and treating it like every other show.

Since when? All it does is allow for people to forget about the show. It's not like prime time shows where there's an obvious start and stop for one season and then a follow up season. They stopped a show right in the middle. Instead of stopping it in the middle and then showing reruns in some kind of half-assed attempt to gain interest, why not, oh I don't know, show last week's episode on a Friday after schools are usually let out and kids are home.

EVERY 4Kids show goes on break during the summer. Why should Dragon Knight be any different?
 
I just received a statement by Micheal Wang regarding the cancellation of KRDK.

I hope they don't give up, I hope they can look up and learn from their mistakes...I hope they make more Kamen Rider series...I hope Kamen Rider reaches a proper audience. and gets enough fans to stay alive

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!

No ****, sherlock. But Kamen Rider is a franchise that has potential here in the states and if you want to save a franchise you do what you can. I honestly don't give a **** because I never watched it.

Anyway, this thread is amusing to read. I said my opinion, I'll just read the rest of the revolving arguments that will go absolutely no where.

Then tell me what DOES 4Kids control if they don't control advertising for the shows they put out and don't control that the listings they advertise for the shows are not followed? I mean ****, it's part of the network, and it can't control the shows on its network? That doesn't at all sound right.

What logic and business sense is there for playing a show that has terrible ratings instead of a show that has better ratings? I'm working with your speculation here.

Yeah, they TOTALLY sabotaged this show by giving it a timeslot on their block and treating it like every other show.
AGAIN! TIME SLOT THAT WASN'T STUCK TO! AND TOYS THAT WEREN'T ADVERTISED FOR! Dear god, do you not read?

I'm not saying it should be treated with kid gloves, but that doesn't mean that forcing every show to be cut to reruns during the summer is a good idea either. On another note, perhaps restarting the show in the summer for kids that are no longer in school would be a smart idea, if they played the show in the middle of the week for that logic to have reasoning behind it in the first place.


Edit:

Playing the side of reason with this comment. By what proof or reasoning can you infer that Kamen Rider has potential in the US? I mean aside from Power Rangers, every other Toku adaptation in the States has been a major flop. Seriously, put bias aside, and really think about why Kamen Rider would or would not work in the States? I mean, I'm a fan of the series, and I'm all for bringing it to the States as long as it isn't being butchered, but I'm realistic enough to know that there's a slim chance of it succeeding. I'm only angry at the canceling of the show before it even finishes, which of course is probably moot at this point if 4Kids does plan on putting the final episodes online. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth though.
