I sure as shit hope the powers that be don't come to this board to see what the fans think or want. With comments like there are here you have to ask "these are the fans of the show?" While many posters here make great points and the show isn't perfect, too many here seem to troll and just complain to complain and threaten to give up on it in 2 weeks. If that's my target audience and everything else considered, I wouldn't renew it either.
The ratings were the one thing I was hoping for just because they can charge more for ad revenue. If they aren't there the only hope is another network gets TCats. I'm cool with TCats followed by Voltron Force.

That's what I am saying, but this bitchy fanbase just ignores me. Instead of being happy that after 25 years, someone took up the long-dead show to remake it, and quite faithfully at that (I mean, compare this to the treatment TF shows in general got from Michael Bay), and all they can do is complain, complain, complain. Half the people here have signatures with a variation of "Jelenic/Norton/CN RUINED THUNDERCATS FOREVER!!!" Seriously. It's depressing.

See, I am a long-time Transformers fan. I don't happen to like the new show, TF Prime. But I don't go around putting this into my signature and starting threads about how Orci and Kurtzmann (same people who made the scripts for the first two movies, BTW) ruined Transformers forever. I even watch the show, just out of curiosity and because there are some parts and characters of it I do like. I don't collect the toys, though, apart from 1-2 that were to my liking.

I wish the TC fans would understand, if the powers that be axe this show, there is a good chance they won't see any new Thundercats show (and thus, merchandise) ever again. Same way no-one ever revived/rebooted Challenge of the Gobots or Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, or Bravestarr... and likely, never will. Then you can go back to discussing the same old show you all know for the last detail, with nothing new in sight. Is that what you really want?
And man, I would understand you if you have gotten some anime crap with 40-episode padding that has practically nothing to do with the old show... Ever seen Transformers Armada? Basically Pokemon, with Transformers, where for example, Starscream - you know, the guy who in G1, betrays everyone and constantly tries to ursurp Megatron - is an emotionally unhinged impressionable youngster who wants to prove his worth to Megatron, and becomes good friends with some human children, even joining the Autobots for a while.... Just saying this so you can see how lucky you are your revived cartoon is so very close in design and character to the old one.
