On the other hand I found "The Forever Bag" episode to be too kiddy but it was a hit in the ratings for young children.

This is where I am confused. I think one group had their ideas and the other had theirs.

Dark, edgy, and mature was what MJ said he wanted the feel of the show to be yet their target crowd was 6-11.

If this is true, then CN was right with the Adult time slot. I think where things slipped up is between WB and MJ. Since the toy line was big, then WB should've made sure MJ change his theme.
