Specifically "According to TFW2005.com, Hasbro invested less across the board for its strongest properties’ merchandising tie-ins (animated shows, etc) because less investment was needed to further the same levels of revenue. Basically, now that there are two full seasons with plenty of episodes for both these shows, they can rely a little more heavily on reruns padded with some newer episodes."

@ceruleanspark Yeah. As much as I would love to see many new episodes, this makes nothing but sound financial sense for them - the demographics that are less likely to tolerate rerun-heavy schedules (i.e., the adult/young adult portions of the fanbase) are by far not their main revenue source.

@bitshift "So as you look at great performance of TV Shows, you are able to produce fewer episodes in subsequent series than you need for earlier series. You know, kids love watching episodes over and over again but you have to add an element of newness but you don’t need to spend to produce entire new series again" You took the words more or less out of the Hasbro Corpse's mouth.

@ceruleanspark I'd be cool with 13 episodes a year, tbh. EEnE averaged less through its run and that was still fine.

@redenchilada Strong Bad Email has been going on 0 episodes a year for the past 3 and that still has a fandom.
