There is some good coming out of all of this. But it's not exactly a two-way street as only those series which failed on Kids' WB or have been rerun endlessly will now be shipped off to the Cartoon Network. If successful, the series could return. If the ratings should be good, more could follow. It'll be interesting to see if the affiliates will accept Powerpuff Girls.
Consumers decide to pay for cable.
Cable allows a lot more freedom for such blocks like Toonami. Our recent email campaign concerning the return of Sailor Moon now takes on a whole different meaning. Each email can now be seen as an unsolicited vote of support for Toonami. By coincidence, just around the time we posted the story of Sailor Moon's departure did the decision become known. We hope that the Cartoon Network may use these emails not only to reinstate Sailor Moon but also Toonami to a decent time period.
