Show rights

[S0ftBallL CiiCk x3]

Due the studios own the rights or the channel to the cartoons they show.Since ren and stimpy are off viacom channels couldnt they be picked back up by cn?

 

[Brendon McCullum]

Ren & Stimpy have never aired on CN, and they never will. R&S are property of Nickelodeon, and Nick and CN are what is known as RIVALS.

It depends, sometimes the networks own the cartoons, other times they lease them, one example of a network not owning a show is Doug. That was originally on Nickelodeon, they later was owned by Disney.

Speaking of rights, and the rivalory of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, is it true the pilot episode of Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy "Meet the Reaper" orginally aired as an Oh Yeah Cartoon short? Wikipedia said it did, yet I looked at the OYC episode guide, and there is no "Meet The Reaper" cartoon short listed.

Billy and Mandy never aired on OYC. The original short aired on CN as part of The Big Pick.

The only short to appear on both WAC and OYC was Mina and the Count. The original short aired on Cartoon Network, and all of the subsequent shorts aired on OYC.

I didn't think so either. But it says so here, maybe I am not understanding this statement correctly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grim_Adventures_of_Billy_and_Mandy

"The show's existence is largely the result of a viewer poll. An Internet and call-in event called the Big Pick was held from August 24 to August 25 in 2000 (even though the pilot episode of Billy and Mandy appeared on the former Nickelodeon show Oh Yeah! Cartoons)."

Whoever typed that is mistaken. We all know that Wiki isn't always the most reliable source for information, since any Joe Shmoe can contribute to it and edit it.

Yeah I know they are often make mistakes. Besides the writing and the animation style doesn't look like an Oh Yeah Cartoon short. The animation in the pilot it to bright and too good for a OYC short. And Billy and Mandy is to dark for OYC.

I never said I believed Wikipedia on that statement. It also says Mina and The Count was the influence for Billy and Mandy, so that might be the confussion.

You think they will never air again the pilot short to Mina and The Count "Interlude With The Vampire", nor should What A Cartoon Show get DVD release, have to omit "Interlude With The Vampire" because Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon have arguements on own the rights to that particular short? I think it is possible that short will never be avalialable again for legal reasons.

Not saying your wrong but I could of swore that Kenny and the Chimp originally aired on OYC.

 

[Kunmui]

I think that nor CN nor Nick have the VHS/DVD rights of their unapproved pilots, since people can still pitch them elsewere. All the "pilot" footage was removed from the DVD release of "President's Day Nightmare" SGC2C episode.

 

[DrummaBOIIIII]

Well, it didnt.

 

[Kalombus]

But did Disney ever own the original series?

 

[Dylan Calvert]

Doesn't stop Batman and Superman from airing on Toon Disney.

 

[Pedy123]

Those aren't CN properties.

 

[Cossie]

Yes, but WB and Disney are also rivals, and it's not stopping them from sharing properties.

 

[kjh0711]

No they didn't

 

[JR0626]

if you omit Channel Frederator

 

[Aliona]

Sharing properties, nothing. What we have here is Toon Disney/Jetix buying the rights to air the WB shows.
If any Time Warner channel wants to air a Disney cartoon, they have to pay to do so. In fact, that's how CN is airing all those Disney movies, and how Snow Day aired on CN as well.
