According to TVGuide.com, CN will not air any new Be Cool Scooby-Doo episodes for at least the next two weeks, if not longer. However, repeats will still air weekdays at 11:30am (central), and on Sundays at 10:30-11:30am. I really hope that the hiatus won't be as long as SDMI's was! |

There's still a Christmas episode so probably they want to fit it in that period.
So has 'If You Can't Scooby-Doo The Time Don't Scooby-Doo The Crime' aired on tv officially?

Can't they treat a Scooby show well for once?? At least I hope they air the Christmas special in time. |

I'm not surprised either just a little disappointed, but this is what happens when you try something new and it fails, I thought the new designs were alright but apparently most people didn't agree thats why the ratings were so low. I'm hoping they just finish season one scrap season two and start fresh with the old scooby design that everybody likes. We tried something new and it didn't work, it happens, but now its time to go back to the good designs and maybe even change the story line back to the way it was because Be Cool is way to dumbed down.

...thats why the ratings were so low... And your evidence for this is? Well tv.com gave it a 6.1 out of ten which isn't that great and the evidence is right in front of you. Cartoon network rescheduled it to a horrible time slot and now its on a hiatus, if the shows rating were good, it would have stayed at its nice time slot, or it might have even got a better one, it certainly wouldn't have been put on a hiatus. |

But do you have the actual ratings figures? CN play all sorts of silly games with their schedules, you also need to remember that there is a TV viewing world outside of the US of A In the UK it was virtually wall-to-wall Scooby on Boomerang with Be Cool being a big part of that and heavily promoted. Bo Cool has now settled down into regular slots alongside the other shows.
As for what the 130 odd people have said on tv.com how do you know they are representative of the wider viewing audience. They reflect the views of the 130 people who use tv.com and have chosen to comment. You'd need to get feedback from a lot more that 130 people to come up with anything definitive as small sample sizes are unreliable.

No I don't and if you do I would be happy to see them, but the fact still remains, if somethings not broken why fix it? If Be cool scooby doo wasn't having issues then it would keep airing at its regular time slot, but since its not doing well they have to change the schedule and put it on hold. Look I understand that other countries watch scooby foo but America is scoobys main supporter. obviously be cool scooby foo has not settled in with other shows because it has just been put on a hiatus and if it happened in America it could easily happen in other countries. |

It just seems to me that you don't like the show, and are just making up ratings figures to hide your biased opinion. It's fine if you don't like the show, but you could just come out and say it instead of fabricating rumors. |

On IMDB the rating is 7.1/10 the same as for What's New with SDWAY and SD:MI both getting a 7.9/10. So on IMDB they are all in the same ball-park. The problems with viewing figures is how do you account for the 'record and watch later' crowd.

And I'm not sure what you don't understand, if a show goes on a hiatus and gets its schedule changed around 3 or four times then its obviously not doing well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Look if you disagree with my opinion thats fine but, in my mind, the only thing that makes sense for this schedule change and hiatus is the bad ratings. |

If I may just interject to clear up some confusion on this issue - BCSD did very well in the ratings, in terms of the actual numbers that television studios and networks actually use to determine those things. Random, individual websites aren't considered or even looked at. Those are more for an individual who, for instance, finds that if they normally agree with the other people's opinions on a certain site, say, Rotten Tomatoes, then they will sometimes use that site as a guide to whether or not they might like a specific show or movie about which they're curious. Even then, that curiosity often gets them to watch and decide for themselves. Either way, "ratings" is a fairly specific, technical and scientific term (as far as television goes) for a whole set of different numbers concerning various age groups and genders (demographics) and who was watching what when - and INTERPRETING ratings is a little like astrology. There seems to be all these patterns and ideas that make sense, but you're never really sure WHY or what they mean for the future. BCSD's rating were solid and the vast majority of feedback has been basically positive and can be summed up like: "I thought I would hate it because of how it looks, but I actually love it, despite the look, which I'm getting used to." There is also, certainly, a loud, vocal group who feel the show has somehow ruined Scooby Doo and their childhoods have been destroyed, etc. The old "if it wasn't broken" idea. I still wonder what was so broken about the original program that they had to add Batman and Don Knotts, then what was so broken about THAT, they had to add Scooby Dum and then put Scooby Doo in the Olympics against Yogi Bear - and then why THAT was so broken they were forced to remove most of the gang and put Scrappy in there, and why that was so broken, Daphne became a reporter and there were 13 ghosts, which broke and suddenly the whole gang are tiny children muppet babies, which ended up having to be fixed by (I know I'm not going in exact order but you get my point) turning the franchise into Buffy the Vampire Slayer in Crystal Cove and making the gang all lust for each other? If I were to define the concept of "Scooby Doo" as a comedic animated mystery show about a group of four teenagers, Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and their talking Great Dane, Scooby, who travel around in a van called the Mystery Machine solving mysteries concerning monsters and ghosts," not many people could argue with me that this is not the essence of Scooby Doo. My question is, of course, how many iterations of the show actually follow that exact formula? I would say that BCSD attempts to "fix" Scooby Doo far less than virtually every single Scooby series since "Where Are You?" We just made it MORE comedic, in every sense. The thing is, BCSD was never supposed to be on CN at all, but they actually LOVE the show SO much they decided to air it there first to give it more exposure. They didn't mess with BCSD's schedule, they messed with THEIR OWN schedule, to accommodate BCSD. Normally a show would premiere and you'd get a new episode every week. But CN decided to get behind it and burn through most of our completed episodes to show everybody their great new show and what it's all about. They've aired about 4 months worth of episodes, so it isn't actually a "hiatus" in the normal sense. We're actually hurrying up to finish more episodes so they can air them! It takes 9-10 months to create one animated episode of a series. What you're seeing is actually the exact opposite of what you're suggesting is so obvious. CN loves BCSD and moved things around in their own schedule to air it, to get people excited about this show they love, before moving it back to it's normal channel and schedule on which it was always meant to be at Boomerang. There was no reaction to "ratings" which triggered moving things around. Trust me, television can't move that quickly. You have sponsors and studios and networks all over the planet all coordinating, sometimes, YEARS in advanced on scheduling, so what CN did shows remarkable faith in the show. WB and CN are very pleased with the ratings and reaction to BCSD and, while I'm sincerely sorry you don't care for BCSD, it's really not going away. |

I think the show is alright, It's not as good as SDMI, in my opinion, but it is still okay. And I don't know what you are saying I'm making up, the ratings are a 6.1/10 and a 7.1/10. Ratings and reviews are two different animals. The 6.1 and 7.1 are reviews, which are pretty good numbers, in this day and age. |
