That's the trend with T.V. today: if it's good and different and appeals to niche audience then it's got to be cancelled. Only bland tripe that appeals to the largest audience as possible.

Best S&H Episode: Ninja Worrier, Suko was the best one-shot character.

i think its a good idea, lets all tell [as] what they can get rid of so that this classic will be reborn.

[Nikki_D]

Thanks for stopping back in and explaining better Les....  rumors can get crazy here.

[SwimMod_Poseidon]

That's unfortunate. I hadn't followed the show too closely for most of its run, but in the last couple weeks the show's grown on me to the extent that I'd go out of my way to watch it.

Anyway, have a good time animating other things.

Awwww, yer the best!! My family and I thank you... one dollar at a time!!

Maybe [as] is suicidal. They seem to be going out of their way to alienate their fans, maybe the people in charge of [as] are sick of making cartoons and actually want real, soul-**bleep**, straight-laced jobs; if they keep on their current path, that's exactly where they're headed. As soon as I get Home Movies Season 4 on DVD I'll have little use for [as] anymore (I have seasons 1-3).

At my place of work, whenever somebody ends their shift with a lot of ones in their register, we call that a stripper drawer. I realize waitresses and waiters also receive lots of ones in tips, but "waitperson drawer" just doesn't have the same ring.

[Real_AirCooledMan]

Grüezi! Jetzt siehe d'Wahrheit!

HOW THE HELL COULD YOU LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS! GIVE US SEASON 2 OF STROKER AND HOOP OR GOD WILL GIVE IT FOR YOU!

You better reconsider really fast, before God ruins you with His anger for this unjust and illegal decision to d**k us over like this!


Tschäu!

P.S.: My Uncle is President Bush and he'll send the National Guard on your **bleep** if you don't comply!

[Real_AirCooledMan]

If anything, I see you getting flamed for allowing crap like 12 Oz. Mouse to air! HASS HASS HASS!

GIVE ME STROKER AND HOOP OR I'LL GIVE NEW EPS FOR YOU!
JETZT UND SCHNELL! ICH BEFEHLE DICH, UND SO GOTT TUN!

[AS] has no right to keep us hanging in this inhumane, un-American, and illegal manner!

REVIVE S&H OR I'LL REVIVE IT FOR YOU! **fires tank at Williams Street**

What drug made you come to that conclusion?

[Lola_Quigley]

That's a shame.  Stroker and Hoop was the only new show that I really liked. 

[strangerdanger]

Here dude, it's a little thing called ecstacy.  It'll calm your **bleep** down.

Responsibility. His anti-drug. Which WS seems to be fresh out of since they've been so reckless lately.

In that case, it's time to take action! Every loyal fan should head down to Atlanta and take this protest to [AS] themselves! Up-front! Force them to do the right thing before they suffer the consequences as ordered by God!

The simple fact of the matter is that SnH is an expensive show for a WS original production. Not only is it a half-hour production, but most episodes involve new locales (ie: lots of new backgrounds) and new characters (ie: lots of new character designs and animation production). Unlike other series where the story never leaves the standard 3 background set-ups, SnH had our boys criss-crossing the country in their misadventures. And unlike other shows where the stories revolve around a set cast with the occasional extra, SnH focused on being styled after some of the cool detective shows from the last 3 decades where each week brought a new cast of ne'er do wells and other shady suspects.

So its because it was a pricey show, and not enough ratings?

well this explains ozmo

what you guys need to do is focus on just a few quality shows..not a bunch of crap.

a bunch of crap will only get ratings the first time around, after that they will plummet.

a good show, such as FR, that is brilliantly written and animated, after so many years is making a HUGE comeback...though Im sure at first it didn't due to it being cancelled.

so seriously..stop buying a lot of little crap shows and focus on making at least one decent show, for crying out loud..do it for the fans.

and take a risk, [as] is big enough now to stand up.

one quality show will give you more ratings that you may think.

The future of all [as] shows

so basically..what we should all expect from [as] in the future

cheaply animated shows, with only 3 backdrops, and only 5 characters and a story that goes nowhere.

great job [as]!!!

Thank You!!!

She's right! can you people focus on S&H, instead of shows you hate? There are threads for that stuff. Have some respect for the S&H and this thread!

Seriously! All this folder can ever talk about is the shows they hate. Don't you like something? Talk about that.

That's been [as] ever since it came to be.

It's [as] whipping out the plastic and buying stuff like Minoriteam and Boondocks which has made them tight.

Ahh! This second post by Les makes me realize the real culprit: Nielsen Rating, a system I've been against for a few years now as I believe they are far from being an accurate measure of T.V. viewing.

[Jeffchao228]

Majikthise, maybe you need to start going to collage and maybe try to keep this show alive, I mean shows like 12 oz. Mouse are cheap, but not very funny, and besides that need to give Stroker and Hoop the respect they need.

Hell, if they don't do the right thing, I'll personally go over there and effect real change myself! What kind of society do we live in where good shows get unjustly cancelled instead of getting the respect they deserve as ordained by God?!

UND DASS ISCH D'WAHRHEIT!
