07/24/2006: Save Danny Phantom!

This was pretty cool. Apparently, Nick is canceling Danny Phantom, and apparently, some people are upset about it. Some people were upset enough about it to stage a protest right outside the building today, complete with picket signs that were so awesome, I’m still not entirely sure this wasn’t an internal publicity stunt. They gave out flyers and free candy, had televisions playing episodes of the show…amazing. The people protesting were a pretty eclectic group, so I’m assuming that they founded their cause online and only met each other this morning. They weren’t all “FUCK YOU VIACOM” or anything, either. It felt a little bit more like a party, only they were celebrating something that pissed them the fuck off. Don’t know how helpful it’ll be, but I scored a single-wrapped LifeSaver out of it. Continue on for more pics…

I think I’ll skip work the day they can SpongeBob.

Speaking as the "old broad" in the second picture up there, yes. ;) I would like to see many old Nick shows like Double Dare come back. I grew up on them. But as that seems unlikely, I’ll proudly fight for the good shows on Nick we have now.

I’m a big fan of DP! I think it’s completely amazing, watched on premiere night and all. I personally think it’s the best show currently airing on any network right now after Doctor Who… and I will write/type letters and sign petitions until my wrists fall off.

Ghosted by Ravvie @ 07/30/2006 1:19 AM EDT

Well, the protest was not a publicity stunt. Nick doesn’t want us to know they’re cancelling shows. Danny Phantom, Fairly Oddparents, and even Jimmy Neutron. The reason? New shows. Like Mr. Meaty’s…..if anyone has seen the commercial, all the other shows are better. Danny Phantom is just too young to die. It has potential. Character development is there. Some might not like it, saying it’s a rip off of Ghostbusters or Phantom, but there’s no originality in the world and that’s this generation Ghost Boy. There are petition everywhere and even a picture protest called Continue the Chain. I hope it lives. I love it. It has so much potential and it needs to live!
All three shows need to live, but Danny is the youngest and doesn’t deserve to die all the way yet!

This IS AWESOME!
My goodness, the gloves are off and the stuff is LIVE, people. This is quite cool to see that people could/ did get together and protest supporting a cartoon, had things been different in my life, and maybe still hanging around people who are of like minds I would have tired to do some protests in my area for things i actually believe in. I believe in the protest to build a time machine to start catoon protests in the past, and maybe some stuff about saving maybe soem lives, and stopping some wars, and savign Kidd Video, Robotech, and TONS more stuff. Oh , and if we win the protest, and we get the time machine, can i get my original drafts of Tunnels and Ogres, it was my 1st Role Playing game i dev’d.

Hold On Tight to your dreams, people, and do whatever it takes to keep the spirit alive of your faveorite shows, it’s your life, and your happiness matters.

I know, I felt like crying cuz DP was canceling! It’s one of my favorite shows ever!!!! Danny Phantom only gets 53 episodes and then canceled? It doesn’t seem right to me. And FOP is one of my other favorite shows. Thank God, Butch Hartman said it’s only a 55% chance it will stay on the air! I mean, c’mon, ‘Mr. Meaty’? A show I never watched and I feel like throwing up just looking at the commercial. (sorry, I exaggerate a bit) But it’s NOT a for sure chance, so for all you DP out there, do what you can to save Danny Phantom!! He ROX!!

I say more power to them for letting people know how they feel.
If only more people spoke up for what they believed in, maybe a lot more people would be happier.

So if you don’t like something…change it!

Go People, Save Danny Phantom!!!!!

Ghosted by Ruby Sky @ 07/31/2006 11:52 AM EDT

The point is, it won’t work. Ratings are what matter with all tv shows. If Danny Phantom does lousy in that department, Danny Phantom is dead. And good riddance too, that is one sorry cartoon.

Ghosted by Ragamuffin @ 07/31/2006 10:56 PM EDT

Whatever, as long as they leave Avatar alone. Danny Phantom just struck me as one of the many shows trying to steal some Stephen Silver (Kim Possible) thunder.

The one that really bothers me right now is Ben 10. What the flying bloody monkey hell is that? After Teen Titans is actually homage-fueled enough to do an FLCL episode (!), the creators somehow run out of fuel and instead generate this sad little 10-year old escapism fantasy that plays like a 22 minute cereal commercial? Sigh.

/Bring back the titans! Booyah!

I am personally a Dp fan… I cried because I could not go to the protest in NEW YORK!!! Jeez, why not have it Chicago or something? Danny is the love of my life! I wish he wasn’t a pixel! *crys* Well, I wish they wouldn’t cancel…. really…… believe me on Dish wa!

Save Danny Phantom! Or I’ll kill you… I mean… moo!

Ghosted by Danny's #1 fan!!! yay! @ 08/02/2006 12:30 PM EDT

HEY! I like Ben Ten :( .

Anyway, I’m glad that someone is deciding to take some action to save one of Nick’s best shows. That Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents are three of the best Nick shows, and We really njeed to do something to save them. Otherwise, Nick will start circling the bowl with crap like Mr. Meaty (Those puppets are probably making Jim Henson role in his grave), Ninja School (Oh yeah, reeeeeeal original) and Kappa Mikey (It sounds good in theory, but everywhere I look everyone says that this show sucks). Only Avatar and Spongebob will be left after the other good series die. Plus, allthough Danny Phantom will get a good ending, what about Fairly Oddparents and Jimmy Neutron? If they’re going to be cancelled, at least end them on a better note than "Jimmy Timmy 3". But, if we start sending letters to Viacom, we could save those shows. Not a petition, because everyone knows from that "Save He-Man" fiasco that petitions don’t work, but a real letter campaing. I know of the large X-E readerbase, but even that may not be enough. Post about it on your forum, mention it on your blog, do whatever you can do to get the word out. Vicaom’s mailing adress is at their website (Viacom.com). Now get out there and start mailing!

Ghosted by TOM @ 08/02/2006 12:55 PM EDT

I don’t know… I loved Oddparents and Phantom when they first started, but if the show’s going to stay in the same vein as the last few new episodes aired, maybe they should just let it go. I mean honestly, that Kindred Spirits episode might as well have been someone’s fanfic, and I’m not sure that it wasn’t. Nobody’s ever written a fanfic that became a good episode of a show since Tiny Toons "How I Spent my Summer Vacation". I would love to see new DP, but what I really want is for CN to bring Megas XLR back.

Ghosted by Purple Purr @ 08/02/2006 3:30 PM EDT

For those who want to write to Nickelodeon or Viacom to POLITELY express your feelings on the cancellation of Danny Phantom or any of your favorite shows, they are both headquartered in the same building:

Nickelodeon (or Viacom)
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036
Attention: Nickelodeon Programming

Just please be nice in what you write. Getting mad at them will only result in them getting defensive or irritated, and we want them to listen, not ignore us!

Keep Danny Flying!

Ghosted by Anonymous @ 08/23/2006 11:01 AM EDT

Ah, straggling latecomers…
Really the only Nick toon I watch currently is Spongebob. On Cartoon Network I watch Billy & Mandy and Kids Next Door.
Sadly, I am only 18, yet find myself already waxing nostalgic for cartoons from younger days – Ghostbusters, Garfield, Gummi Bears (name the connection between those three (other than the letter G) and win a cookie!), Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, etc. etc.
Anyway, hey, stranger things have happened. There is a show (albeit not a cartoon) that ended up not cancelled, but rather on a 16 year “hiatus”. So on behalf of Doctor Who fans everywhere: Kiss my shiny metal TARDIS!
…Well, Futurama’s been saved too. A bit.

Cancelling Danny Phantom I can understand. I saw some of it and was not impressed. But they’re cancelling Fairly Odd Parents!?!?!?! FOP and Jimmy Neutron are the two main things Nick has going for it (other than Sponge)!

Oh just make a new Ghostbusters cartoon already, that or at least have Danny start hunting other supernatural baddies besides the same played out ghost he regularly hunts.

Actually, Danny Phantom’s pretty popular. I’ve run into at least ten different protests, each with more than 500 signatures. And online, Brit-Brit of deviantart has started her own unique form of protesting called Continue the Chain. You draw yourself and your favorite DP character. Draw yourself holding hands with someone out of the screen. It’s pretty cool, and defiantly unique.

i cannot believe that danny is this popular! I like the show, but i’m not obsessed with it. but i’m a little jealous because there was never a protest in new york when invader zim was cancelled (and that’s my favorite show of all time)

Oh god! This so awesome!! Why are they cancelling the breath taking Danny Phantom away?! Please, as a representative of the Philippines, tell them Danny Phantom is oh so famous here.

Please send me an e-mail why are they cancelling the show. :)

I love danny phantom, personally, ill say im one of dannys #1 fans. DP wasnt on the air long, and gosh darn it, its an amazing show! You cant say that mr.meaty or the X’s has better quality writing. its an amazing story line, with amazing characters! Say what you want about it, but us fans dont petition to get dp back to impress you, or anger you, so let us try and get it back, and please, if you dont like it, just dont say anything. I understand why spongebob is getting cancelled, its a great show, but its been on for a long time, and the material is wearing thing, same goes for FOP, but DP only has 53 episodes, i think BH has alot more than 53 left in him. SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!!!
