Which Show Should Qubo Air on Their Channel?

Any of these shows would be a great addition to the lineup.

I think Qubo should try to get many classic shows like R&B and Flimation and Ruby-Spears cartoons on their schedule.
 
None of the above.

Disney isn't airing Eek! The Cat anywhere. Donkey Kong Country is based on an irrelevant property that Nintendo isn't promoting. The Sonic shows aren't really good and based on a version of the character SEGA isn't marketing. And Cardcaptors, no.

Also, ever since they pulled the plug on Class of the Titans, Being Ian, and Spliced, I lost all respect for qubo. Those shows were kid-friendly, but, as I've mentioned in another thread, qubo has decided that it doesn't want to entertain older viewers nor provide more non-educational fare. Qubo decided that they want to cater to a certain demographic that isn't us, which is why you see shows like 321 Penguins, Shelldon, and Pearlie rather than Being Ian and Spliced. It's why you're more likely to see Rescue Heroes over DiGata Defenders. Why you're going see Miss BG instead of Braceface. Why you'll see Postman Pat instead of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Qubo isn't going to change, which is kind of a shame really. They could have been great instead of boring.
 
Somehow, I doubt that Qubo would be interested in airing a Flimation series that's been off the air for over 2 decades. Archie's Weird Mysteries would be the more likely candidate, but as Jeff Harris already stated, if it's not E/I, you're not going to see it on Qubo.
 
And even that's reaching.

Plus, Cookie Jar isn't qubo. Qubo is majority controlled by ION Media, which is why Nelvana's non-E/I shows got pushed out of the block in favor of repeats of the E/I puritanically-correct VeggieTales and 321 Penguins. That's how qubo rolls.

And besides, there are way better shows in the Classic Media library that could easily be aired on qubo, but for some reason, I don't see them airing anything prior to the G.W. Bush presidency on their lineup. A shame really. Fat Albert's good, educational, and fits the E/I quotient with ease.

No, it isn't, which is why it doesn't carry the E/I banner when its on as well as the reason why it's not on the NBC qubo block. But it is based on a series of children's books, just like Willa's Wild Life, Miss BG, Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse, Sitting Ducks, and Jacob Two-Two, which qualifies its placement on qubo. Scholastic Entertainment is a partner in the venture, and Pearlie's one of their contributions to the block.
 
Perhaps Pearlie isn't very educational, however, it's not as if anyone is forcing you to watch it. If all this is just about not liking 1 show, then why not simply change the channel when Pearlie comes on? Just hit the button on your magic remote control and POOF! No more Pearlie. Problem solved.

I don't want to be that guy, but "I don't like that show" isn't a good reason to want it gone.
 
As I don't get Qubo, I hadn't heard that they quickly dropped the non E/I shows. Any word on the rights regarding who may (or might) broadcast any of them in the U.S. at some time? Also, did Qubo consider running Di-gata or Braceface at all (if they have the rights)? The former has been abandoned by 4Kids (as they haven't even bothered to upload most of what they broadcast as the second season (eps 14-26) to their website and the latter is one of the best series focusing on adolescense ever made and could easily be considered E/I. The show deserves a full DVD release.

"Worthwhile" is strictly a matter of opinion. You shouldn't assume that everyone feels the same way about something that you do.

I've never seen this Pearlie show myself, but I don't understand all of this hate for it. So far, I've haven't read a single reason for why this show should be removed from Qubo's lineup except for "I don't like it", which isn't a good reason at all. Why should this show be canceled/removed from the lineup just because 1 or 2 viewers at home (who are likely outside of the age range for this series) don't care for it?
 
I feel the same way. I used to watch a few Qubo shows (Spliced, Gofrette, Sitting Ducks) every now and then, but after they castrated their schedule (an hour of rescue heroes? Really?) I rarely even go to the channel at all.

I think their criteria is based less on educational value than it is on acceptability for quasi-religious families.
 
That doesn't matter. If a show isn't E/I, then you're not going to see it on Qubo. Qubo had the opportunity to become a general entertainment block, but they opted to forgo that. They're currently running an hour of Rescue Heroes; that should give you some idea what they have in mind for the block.






Then "they" shouldn't waste their time by watching the show; crazy thought, I realize, but those people could, you know, just not watch Pearlie instead of praying for its' demise. There are plenty of shows that I don't like, but I don't go on message boards to grouse about them and suggest that they should be taken off the air, I just don't watch them.

Complaining about stuff which doesn't affect you and you could just as easily ignore, now that's a waste of time.
