Sonic Boom TV Ratings – Season 2 Week 2

27 Comments

1. I forsee no renewal and another entry in TV Tropes’ “Screwed By The Network” trope.

   1. Unless Sonic moves to Disney XD like Pokemon

      1. That wouldn’t happen until Season 2 is over, and by then the damage will have been done.

2. what did they expect? they put the show on a channel that not a lot of have/watch thats really meant for older shows that CN previously broadcast.

   1. Cartoon Network is the EA of channels, so many poor fools go to it thinking they won’t be put on the chopping block.

3. I wonder though, if they cancel this show due to low ratings and if the Sonic movie is a success they may think of developing a fully animated show taking place after the events of the movie.

4. And this is why you don’t let the numbnuts who cancelled the original Teen Titans and replaced it and cancelled other greats because not enough toys use your show SEGA

   1. Not only that but they also manage to mismanage shows based off massive brands like Batman and Transformers, Batman has.

      1. To finish what I was saying, the current era of Batman has been a juggernaut in both film and games but has failed in the cartoon medium due to Cartoon Network’s incompetence. What the finale of Brave and the Bold said still stands true even if it doesn’t account for current landscape of show that CN has a bias for which is obvious when you look at their primetime shows.

5. I think they fucked up with this show when they made it for such a young audience. Another anime would probably perform far better. Lifelong Sonic fan here, but there’s nothing in this show for me.

   Hopefully the movie spawns a new series and they handle it better.

   1. Same for me, in overall, the whole Boom franchise has been a disaster to the brand image of Sonic, not only in the fan base, but even worst, the non-Sonic fan public which now see Sonic as a complet failure in the video game side, or as a series intended for a very young audience.

      I can understand that some people might like the TV show, but we have to admit that Boom was a calamity for the Sonic franchise as a whole.

      Now even if Boom seems to be on a dead end, the question is to know if “Sonic” could be healed from injuries the already done by Boom.

      Couldn’t agree more with you guys, really wish they make another Modern Sonic show with a more serious and adventurous approach.

      1. Yep, definitely right there with all you guys. Here’s hoping that Sonic can recover from Boom.

   3. Another crummy anime filled with annoying human characters, awful adaptions and whatever the hell the second season was would not do this brand any favors! If they did do another anime it would need to have specific guidelines not to ruin it with hack anime tropes.

      1. “Annoying human characters”
         The issue isn’t humans, it’s how they’re written. Have an interesting character that has dialogue that could be identified by being in character on paper but not have them take up more than about 1/6 of the screen time? Great!

         “Awful adaptations”
         If the Japanese SA1 adaptation was anything to go by, adaptations could be done pretty well. Get the original story, add more depth to it due to the medium and update the dialogue.

         “hack anime tropes”
         Just because something’s a trope doesn’t make it bad. A CLICHE is bad from a writer’s perspective, but can still be entertaining for a viewer.

         Everybody breathes, so should I just stop breathing as to not follow the trope? Not likely.

6. I really find no interest in this show anymore. It’s……. just plain boring and corny to me. ._.
   Also, well……. Knuckles’ new “stupid guy” thing still makes me cringe and feel…… like really bad for him. He’s actually supposed to be a very important character in the series….
   Even if this IS a spin-off.

7. Why the hell would you put it on Boomerang anyway!? Start making sense Cartoon Network! XP

   1. The thing is they are making sense because Cartoon Network wants this show dead and are undermining it just as they have in the past to other shows.

8. It’s sad because despite this, I STILL consider Cartoon Network a better channel for it to be on then god damn Nickelodeon. Especially after the recent nees of how they screwed over C.H Greenblatt.

   CN has better shows on it but they have so few and its most popular one is Teen Titans GO which is ironically the worst show on the channel at the moment (aside from thr PPG reboot if that’s still running) so they spam it over and over and have it take up all the slots.

9. All that success that this show enjoyed last season, and now it looks like it’s on it’s way to an untimely cancellation, which may spell the end of the Sonic Boom universe and brand. Way to go, networks. Despite what all the haters said, you had something decent going on with the first season, but now you’ve ruined it.

   1. “now it looks like it’s on it’s way to an untimely cancellation, which may spell the end of the Sonic Boom universe and brand”

      Amen, brother.

10. damn. I hope this can be turned around. At least somewhat. Probably not a good idea to keep it in CN’s hands anymore. Not sure where else it’d go, but it would be better off anywhere other than Boomerang. (No offense to Boomerang fans, but it’s definitely a niche network)

11. Inevitable. While they don’t do it as blatantly as Nick does with the sponge, CN only really seems to care about Teen Titans Go at this point. It’s their cash cow now and like all cash cows, it’s ultimately cancerous.

    The only reason the likes of Adventure Time, Steven Universe and Regular Show get the attention they do is because they have a strong, unified fanbase behind them. Meanwhile we can’t even come to agreement on WHAT a Sonic game actually is, let alone get behind the redheaded stepchild of the series.

    Truly a shame. Despite it’s comparatively bland and low-stakes style, it was still a fresh, sometimes funny take on the Sonic series that didn’t deserve to be screwed quite as hard as it was.

12. Solid proof that nobody likes Sonic Boom, not even CN. Lol just kidding.Even though I hate Boom, this spin-off can’t get a break! Fire and Ice was somewhat well received, just to be destroyed by low ratings.

13. I rather have Sonic die than end up in disney’s claws again.

14. Have TMS revive Sonic X Season 4 minus Chris and only in Sonic’s world.

15. Maybe someone wants this to die. Maybe a cartoon network exec thought the sonic audience attracted the wrong consumers. I sense a malicious hand that intent to purge sonic from it brand.
