Never seen an episode. However, I constantly wonder why many adult swim shows are allowed to live. If this so was as good as the comments say it was then why see how it fars if not marketed to kids. After all, once you start targeting teens and young adult you could start creating premium merchandise that could be priced more per unit (even if they were inexpensive to make).

Ditto.

This is the first I've heard of the show, and I'm a fan of Tartakovsky.

Sigh disappointing.

Awww...It bairly had a chance to prove itself. And it doesn't help that CN kept kicking it around to different nights. But according to the post, the ratings were comparable to other actions shows, but was cancelled due to lack of a toy line? Hrm.

Well, if Genny Tartakovsky moved on to Sony Pictures, my guess is that it has more to do with that move (one the cause-and-effect of the other). I look forward to whatever Tartakovsky comes up with for Sony.

Symbowhatnow? That's a complicated mouthful that communicates nothing.

Did the people who titled this show ever hear of focus groups?

Better than most giant robot shows (although some may make more sense if one knows Japanese).

The three characters are a robot and two teenagers with power armor. They merge together into a giant robot called Titan.

Symbiotic + bionic + Titan = Sym-Bionic Titan.

The title gives you more information than, say, Regular Show, Generator Rex, or Bleach.

I can't find it now, but I did see the ratings recently and they actually were about the same as Generator Rex, Ben 10, and those other shows.

Considering the ratings were good, it doesn't really make sense as to why they are moving the final episodes to Saturday mornings. It makes me wonder if the word came down that the show was being cancelled and Tartakovsky, no longer having a reason to stay, went to Sony, so CN, out of spite, dumped the show to a worse time slot (with no reruns during the week).
