Why if this is an amrican show we have to wait to see it and canada gets it first…same thing happened with wolverine and the x-men. In canada they alredy finished season 1, america zip nada until 2009…not fair at all!!!Like south park says !Blame Canada!!!Note: not agaisnt canadians at all just pure jealousy…
Don’t blame Teletoon, YTV or any other Canadian corporation for broadcasting shows before other countries do, blame the American companies for not broadcasting these shows right away. If Teletoon doesn’t want to wait for Disney XD to broadcast Spider-Man, then I say good for them. I wouldn’t wait around for them to broadcast Spider-Man either. Take your frustrations out on the Nicktoons and Disney XD’s of the world for why other countries are broadcasting shows before them.
"The American fans have to wait until March"Yeah, THAT'S gonna happen. By the time March rolls around, a goodly portion of the audience for the show will have already seen it. Thanks to a rapidly shrinking world, these staggered releases do not delay some from getting what they want EXACTLY when they want it. Just a few years ago, a massive number of people were buying British copies of Harry Potter books because the American release was still weeks away. Same the other direction for American books not scheduled for release in England until later.Thanks to the Interwebs, people can see these shows mere hours after they are broadcast. And only a day or so later, they can even watch them legally. Nobody will have to wait till March if they don't want to.Disney made a poor deal here. they're losing massive numbers of potrential viewers due to that delay. I'll put money on their ratings not coming CLOSE to the WB's numbers, even after you calculate the base viewing audience difference between a broadcast and a cable channel.
Vinnie Bartilucci your post is full of intelligence. It also doesn’t help that Disney is putting Spider-Man on a network that most cable companies don’t have instead of a network that everybody has like ABC, not to mention that cable companies that do have Disney XD most likely has it as a premium channel (ala HBO) and most people are not gonna pay premium just to watch one show. The same rules apply to the new X-Men and Iron Man cartoons as Viacom has both shows scheduled to be on Nicktoons (again most cable companies don’t carry Nicktoons) instead of CBS where the ratings would be higher. As you said Vinnie the ratings are not even gonna come close to the ratings Spider-Man had on CW…let alone the 1990’s edition on FOX.Oh and if Spider-Man survives and makes it to a 3rd season but they end up losing Greg Weisman to another company, I say bring back John Semper Jr. back any way you can as I always preferred him to Weisman anyway, although Weisman’s doing pretty well right now, I’ll admit that but not as well as Semper Jr. since he is the master of the Spider-Man cartoon. Keep your fingers crossed and good luck to Spider-Man’s 2nd season.
The only way to kill the show any faster would be to bring Semper on board. Leave that hack to Kissyfur and Static Shock.
