SO I'm looking through the wikia for the Ben 10 universe and holy damn this thing is huge. Granted I've watched the first three shows when I was younger (grew old of cartoons by the time Omniverse came around, and it looks kinda disgusting, especially when it comes to some of the redesigns) and it really feels like something really big. (great way to put it, I know)

It could use an actually decent video game adaption though.

All the other Ben10 series were trying trying to ride off the success of the first one. The wave eventually became nothing more than a ripple with a grand predecessor.

Hate to double post, but Gravity Falls season 2 is here.

And it's still good

I love its season opener. I mean, it is good enough to be a season finale.

Have you seen the second episode? It's also really good. Good development with the characters and the overall story. Also, once again, I question how this is considered a show for kids.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

I thought cartoon network had a 7 season cap for how long a show could go on for

That would be very arbitrary. I can't see any network doing that - why would they not renew a show for an eighth season if they're going to make money off it?

I read something a while back about how TV contracts work, apparently the terms are very favorable to the networks in the short term, usually the first 4-5 years of the show, with the carrot being that the studios are promised a much bigger share of the profits if shows go longer. After that, the studios start to make real money. The networks really control the whole deal so they push these contracts that favor themselves in the short term, since they have the power to cancel the show at any time. Often it makes more financial sense (for the network, not the viewers or studios) to cancel a show near the end of this initial contract period even if it's still getting good ratings, because they can renegotiate a new contract with the same or another studio to pick up a new show for cheap.

So, it's a gamble between the networks and studios, you want your show to be so popular that they can't cancel it. "Just a little" popular doesn't cut it because they've got other studios desperate for the work with slightly shittier new shows they can replace your one with and cut costs.

That ... that explains every terrible decision ever made in regards to TV show cancellation.

That murder-suicide at the end of season 1 is no longer the darkest thing they've shown on-screen. Holy crap, I'm scared of airbending now.
