You might think CN's just doing things for the sake of money (and probably are) but they are methodoligical in their approach. They're replacing SU reruns with TAWoG because more screen time of a popular show means more popularity and more money is made. But what about SU? Actually, I wouldn't put it past CN for cancelling a good show but a lot of things are riding on SU. Rebecca is the first solo female show creator in CN. Though still young, SU has garnered a substantial following, a following substantial enough as to not be ignored ny CN. CN wouldn't let one of it's most promising new cartoons to be cancelled unless ratings drop below minimum, but that would still be far away considering the amount of depth each episode presents. Reruns of TAWoG could mean two things; either CN is squeezing every penny they can on and making the most of this cartoon or gumball's ratings are dropping and CN needs to step up their game and make the ratings high again. CN's reputation would only be damaged if SU got cancelled, especially if the cancellation was caused by CN themselves and had nothing to do with the content not meeting quota. So right now, SU's relatively safe, let CN push through with their decision, CN vies for ratings and if the ratings are well, maybe they'll change their game again and replace gumball reruns with SU reruns to increase the ratings.
