is originally just dead in the water?

bump

>>150956487 (OP)
Indie is sadly where you have to go for animation now if you want something original

>>150956577
yep. Especially on YouTube

>>American Dad is still on the air
DADDERS ALWAYS WIN

>>150956859
Unless Fox cancels it again

No TBS to save it this time

>>150956874
>No TBS to save it this time
which means Hulu comes to the rescue maybe? I mean, Hulu came for Futurama and King of the Hill, so why not American Dad?

>>150956859
I just hope Fox doesn't fuck up Klaus

>>150956487 (OP)
i think most of these properties will still be active well into the 2030s, regardless of how many people still watch them. it's a comfort thing, people need the stability of a familiar world.

>>150956891
I was actually expecting American Dad to become a Hulu Original once it inevitably left TBS, so for it to be brought back to FOX like originally is very surprising. Must be a more highly valued IP than I give it cred it for.

>>150957029
they won't hopefully
>>150957097
they'll probably be using it for special episodes like they did with Simpsons and Family Guy when it does come back to Fox, so keeping fingers crossed for that

>>150956487 (OP)
stupid copypasta

>>150957679
Who cares American Dad thread

>>150956487 (OP)
>>Futurama is still on the air
the question is why except for either money or that Matt Groening still keeps hanging out with Epstein until his death

>>150957779
I don't think even they know anymore

>>150957744
that pizzaslice looks deeee-lish!

people didn't watch the new shit. including you.

>>150958188
You think people didn't watch the new American Dad? You would be wrong sir

>>150958188
Some of these shows are still good...

>>150956487 (OP)
It's something to watch
Something new
It's a staple

It's comfy core.
Hell, Adventure Time had all it needed to be comfy core for kids. But instead of using Sugar like a cute far too tight fleshlight who has good ideas someone thought it was a good idea to make her a show runner.

So now it's a dead IP because no one knows how to thot wrangle the cute bisexual artho's.

The next step. The next logical step isn't mindless content made for the people who created it.
It's consistent content. That's it.
Get the ball rolling, find a niche, jealously guard it and expand on it subtly without upsetting the fanbase you're lucky to have.

That's it.
That's fucking all you need.

There's only one good show there!

>There are only three good shows there!
ftfy
and those are King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead and American Dad, all three are quality

>>150957779
>>150957954
it was brought back because VA John DiMaggio needed an excuse of wanting more royalties

>>150963566
>2 of which are Mike Judge productions
Impressive.

>>150957097
>ENTER

>>150963671
Damn right. For me, Mike Judge has always been a delight. He hasn't made anything remotely awful, and the worst he's even done still manages to be funny and entertaining in the long run, which is in my book incredible

>>150957097
its cheaper to keep a show running than making a new one, as long as american dad has consistent ratings there's no reason to cancel it while it outperforms new shows
the writers are still keeping the humor fresh so it works for me

They brought back Robot chicken?

>>150963686
Here's a frame from the actual show

>>150963705
the goode family?

>>150956487 (OP)
All shows should end after 100 episodes.
All movies should end after 100 minutes.
All comics should end after 100 issues.

>>150963754
Robot Chicken never left.

>>150963896
A lot of shows should end before 100 episodes to be honest. I think 30-80 or so is the sweet spot

>>150963950
100 is a lot of episodes. It seems only these legacy cartoons are able to go on forever for some reason.

>>150963896
eat my shorts bitch

I think the death of television has a lot to do with this. When YouTube offers a more convenient and personalized alternative, the only shows that survive are the ones that are already really good at surviving. Creators with new ideas are even more dissuaded from the traditional legacy show business model, which has lost any credibility or prestige advantage it once had, to the point where YouTube becomes the default.
