I can't say for certain, but it didn't help matters. CN only gets revenue from the show and the ad space on the toy packaging, so the toys would have helped promote the show more. Since the toy line basically failed at retail, there was no other support for the show to get ratings up. That and CN's history of playing shell games with shows they don't own or co-own.

Was Thundercats (failed toys too) ever offically canceled? I thought it was officially on hiatus and just hadn't been ordered for a new season. All the stuff I read was that maybe it would come back. There is just too much scripted TV out there these days for every show to get a good following. So many quality shows can't find big audiences anymore. I know I don't have nearly enough time for all the shows that are worth watching.

I think Bandai of America made it official, but it may have come directly from CN, too. Memory's a bit fuzzy on it, but I believe our sister site, Thundercats.ws, reported on it last summer or fall.
