I’m going to try a little “Super Best Friends Forever” experiment here…
Warner Bros. have put out some fantastic shorts during their DC Nation programming block on Cartoon Network. They are evolving one of those into a series – Teen Titans Go! It’s almost a continuation of the old Teen Titans animated series but either way, sounds like fun. I know a lot of folks were hoping SBFF would also move on to a half hour series as well but from what I’ve been hearing, it’s not likely and my question is – why?
Warner Bros. don’t believe a “girls” show has the same selling power as a “boys” show and I’d like to prove them wrong. I’d point them to the huge successes that were Lauren Faust’s Power Puff Girls (EDIT for clarity, I know Craig McCracken created PPG, Faust also worked on the franchise. Sorry if I confused anyone!) and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic were, I’d tell them women make almost all the purchasing decisions for their household (specifically entertainment), that they are seriously underestimating how much parents spend on their daughters, and that children aren’t the only consumers of animated TV shows and their related products. I could do that but what I’d like to see right now is all of YOU do that.
Reblog or like this post if you’d not only watch a Super Best Friends Forever television show but buy products based on it. (Money talks, remember?) Add your own commentary or not but let’s see what the numbers say.

Okay… I completely understand if you’re upset that ‘Super best Friends’ isn’t going to be made into a full-feature show.
But as a girl myself, I happen to be a BIG FAN of ‘Teen Titans’. It has something for EVERYONE. And I think I’ve seen WAY MORE girl fans than boy fans.
Forgot one thing; I suggest visiting TGN-Memory, a Teen Titans message board. Most of the staff running it are in fact girls themselves, as are most of the members. http://tgnmemory.freeforums.org/index.php
While i’m not a girl myself, it’s true what Red has said. I’ve seen more female fans than male fans and at a old forum I used to visit there was even a public poll.
I would like to tell you that Teen Titans is not just for boys. There are plenty of girls who like the show too. I think the show has enough for both genders.Also, maybe you should stop being so butt-hurt, no offense. )
