Title: General TV discussion
Post by: Charlie on 21 August 2022, 14:15:02
Thought we had this, we didn't, meow meow meow.


So apparently, Cartoon Network sold off most of its original programming to HBO Max, and after some Discovery merger, the latter's removing them - apparently as a tax write-off or something?

Which means, it's apparently possible those shows will never again be available to watch, at least legally.

Cartoon Network apparently even removed tweets, YouTube clips, and other stuff mentioning things like Mao Mao or Infinity Train, as if those never existed.

As I understand it, things that still continue to exist won't have classic episodes available, just the newer ones, or something?

Imagine something you've worked on so hard for so many years, just disappearing because of executives.

Thought this was just a joke (saw it first on Twitter) but figured I'd do some research and came across this (https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/18/hbo-max-is-removing-36-titles-and-creators-are-not-happy/), so it seems to not be a joke. :-\

5 years for 100 episodes of Summer Camp Island, and pulled as if its creators were nothing at all.

This.
Is.
AN OUTRAGE!

It's always executives wanting to screw everybody else over because money is the most important thing to them.

And then they wonder why they can't afford to put anything out, causing them to ironically lose more money than they started with.
