I can't think of any logical reason to sit on a backlog of completed episodes short of the network not wanting us to care about it anymore. It's even more obnoxious because they're shelving what might be the best original show they've ever had in order to push cheap reboots that, thus far, have relied on brand recognition to be succesful, not actual quality. I dunno, I feel like they wouldn't treat Steven Universe this way if they were planning on keeping it around.

Then again, Disney was kinda worse about airing Gravity Falls, and not only was that show able to end on its own terms, the network tried to convince the creator to keep it going, so maybe there's nothing to worry about. We talked a bit about this a few days ago. The issue is that shows like TTG pull in larger numbers of viewers, even UG was pulling in the same or slightly higher views than SU up until recently. I have no doubt that by nostalgia factor alone the new PPG will pull in a lot of viewers in its first few weeks. In the end CN goes with what brings in the views and makes the money regardless of how ground breaking SU might be. I do not think that is any reason to panic about the show getting axed but it does mean we have to deal with hiatuses until CN gets the new show fever out of its system. yup.
