Been lurking around the Wikia and really enjoy the work everyone does here. As far as the sudden DC Nation hiatus goes...

Simply put, CN handled this situation very poorly. If there are legal issues with certain characters that prevent you from airing YJ episodes, that's fine, but then the way to handle it is like this: "Because of certain legal issues, CN has been forced to put DC Nation on hiatus until further notice. We apologize to our viewers and hope to get the shows back on the air as soon as possible." As I have a fair amount of knowledge about how litigation works, I can understand that CN can't talk about what the legal issues are.

But the sudden yanking of the shows with no explanation, and then a simple tweet that DC Nation will return in January 2013, does nothing to help the situation. All it does is leave people asking what in the world is going on here. Furthermore, if there are legal issues involved, then don't deliver an announcement you might not be able to keep.

There are better ways to handle the situation if the issues are truly ones beyond your control. But given the way things are being handled by CN, part of me has my doubts that legal issues have anything to do with it -- and I'm not convinced that it has anything to do with CN's 20th birthday either.

While life does go on, I'm very disappointed in CN. I'm tempted to do more than just e-mail CN, but find an actual mailing address where I can send written correspondence. As somebody who grew up in the 1980s, I can remember how massive letter writing campaigns saved a few TV shows that got yanked around the schedule, then cancelled, only to be saved by viewers who got serious about getting on the network's case. While online petitions may make people feel better, perhaps it's time for YJ viewers to engage in the old-fashioned way and start writing letters sent through the post office?
