so sad :'( I heard this earlier
HA! I was right all along! But you guys never listened to me and how logical it was to can the show after 10 seasons. Although, Butch leaving altogether isn't what I had in mind...
Well, just because the creator left the show (I wish Butch Hartman best of luck), that doesn't mean it's officially cancelled (that is tempting fate). I mean, look at the Ren and Stimpy Show, that show lasted for 3 more seasons after John Kricfalusi was fired, and the Loud House is still going strong after Chris Savino's firing. Maybe, someday, the Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy will all be revived without the original creator's input, but I doubt it.
Key difference here: REN & STIMPY wasn't quality dead when the creator left. This show has been on life support the last two seasons, it's done for good.
Yeah, I know. I said that I DOUBT that Butch Hartman's shows on Nickelodeon will continue without his input.
The show has gone on for far longer than it should have. It should have ended after Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour 3, but while Nickelodeon allowed Jimmy Neutron a graceful exit, they let greed get the better of them and decided to keep FOP going. Eventually Butch started running out of ideas, giving us characters like Poof, Sparky, and Chloe (I honestly like Poof, and Chloe got better after that first episode).
But, the show has been on life support for years now. It's time to let go. It's become a mess of Flanderized characters that have shown no sign of developing beyond stereotypes. Not only that, they had to switch to Flash animation for the latter half of season ten, and that animation is as lifeless and inhuman as the Flash animation used in the later seasons of Johnny Test.
