They need time to create the show, that's just fine. Not knowing the next airdate is what is annoying, not the hiatus. It means I have to recheck the Episode Guide page like a junkie. I only know from this thread speculation about why Cartoon Network operates like it does. It might be bad, but we can take it as long as cancellation doesn't happen. I'll tell you what though, the ratings for the last few episodes seem low. CN will be ruthless if that stays low. Think towards season 4. If you look at the ratings from "Nightmare Hospital" to "Log Date 7 15 2" they are consistently lower which I might attribute partly to young people going back to school and not being able to catch the episodes due to after school activities, sports, or homework. This could be fixed if maybe CN ran a second time slot to reshow the episode later that evening or over the weekend. I also agree with Bigfanof SU and Grabbergirl said that bombs are hard to plan for viewers. For example if I know a new episode is going to be on Thursday I can get ready for it and not make any plans until after six pm EST, but I cannot do that every day of the week.
