Why do CN still want to produce babyshit despite it failed

They want that bluey money

They're a network aimed at children, anon. No matter how much people argue against it, "no they were for EVERYONE," they're centrally for kids. That's the brand, that's the mission statement, that's the focus, that's the FCC regulations they have to follow.
They can't shift to being for adults so easily, so all they can do is double down on the only demographic of kids who might actually still be watching (toddlers and preschoolers).

>Kids like TikTok and Twitch and don't fucking watch cable TV, but we're a cable TV channel for kids, and we can't pivot to adults for advertiser reasons, so just make it all for babies instead since we won't have to give baby shows any budget

>we can't pivot to adults for advertiser reasons
And that's where they failed. Bluey's internal planning documents that have leaked mention the adult bluey fans and embrace that part of the audience. It works for them because calling the show an all audiences show is a good thing and they can always just pass it off as marketing to parents. CN basically killed a bunch of shows in 2020 people actually liked to screw over their own network all in the name of maintaining a brand image instead of embracing what worked and changing themselves to reflect that. But I get it, too risky, right? Better to go piss off people, fuck over careers, etc. then steer the train into unknown territory.

Because low effort, essentially preschool safe space series like Steven Universe and Adventure Time succeeded, because of the support of people like you. So now they are going all the way with what was supported

>>144635148
It's gonna be funny when the vast majority of people who watch this will be adults. like me
>>
>>144635213
But they're also squirting to AT fans hard though with Fiona and Cake so are they appealing to older fans or not
>>
>>144635623
Then what's the point of making preschool shows then if adults just going to watch it
>>
>>144635664
Yeh, but they save that for streaming. They'll probably put this and that prequel show on CN proper, but who knows.

>we can't pivot to adults for advertiser reasons
I call bullshit. There's no reason they can't set a point in the future after their current contracts with advertisers are up that will mark the switch to a general audiences channel. They're just too stupid or cowardly to do it.

Wasn't there a whole thing about them expanding the AS block? I figured that they'd just make Adult Swim the main feature of the network at some point

Is that a dildo??
>>
>>144635571
AT succeeded by pretending to be ONE OF YOU and ripping off the two successful shows CN canned(Adventures of flapjack and chowder) and internet culture for the first season or three.

Then just outright going off a cliff into faggotry and fart sniffing lunacy.
Both of those shows bombed so fucking hard they had to rejigger the entire fucking network aroundmanipulaing the audience into THINKING those shows were worth 1/100th of a fuck with "bombs".

Regular show did better then them and can be reshown...till they pulled that god awful relationship bullshit no fucking body asked for and ruined the goddamned show.

The pink thing in BMO's hand? That's Shelby, or possibly Shelby's little brother

>>144635911
And that's why Gumball was the best show in the 2010's because it didn't became melodrama and lorefagging compare to the cartoons you mentioned
