Twitter Plug, Korra, NSYAC and Pirate Updates by TomPreston

Nick Exec 1: "LoK isn't getting the number of views we wanted. Why is that?" 
Nick Exec 2: "Probably because we don't advertise for it enough and we don't have as set schedule for it."
Nick Exec 1: "What should we do then?" 
Nick Exec 2: "Take it off the air and replace it with Spongebob reruns!" 
Nick Exec 1: .....
Nick Exec 1: "Give this man a promotion!" 

Sigh. Well the Korra stuff sounds plain idiotic, but who are we to question the almighty Nickelodeon? (Yes, that was sarcasm) Not on Twitter, so I'll pass. As for NSYAC, I'm enjoying it.

Where in the world did you get this BS about Korra?  I just found TV air dates on three different sources, one of them being the official website, and the newest episode played over the air as planned tonight.  I found nothing to back up this claim of yours.  Link plz.

The korra thing is perplexing.

I actually wasn't aboard with NSYAC at first, but it has really grown on me now. Keep up the swell job!
_{I was wondering where Korra went > : (}

To explain the Korra thing-the viewership has actually been high, but it's online. Thanks to Nick's botched release of Season 2 and 3 (poor advertising, smothering it in Spongebob, and leaks left and right), the viewership has already shifted to streams and less-than-legal sources, so it seems Nick has just gone "Fuck it" and gone there.

NSYAC is doing well with me. If you are up to run SYAC-Blue Bear in-between, go for it. You'll know soon enough if you want to keep it on or not, and besides always a good idea to change creative gears working on other ideas.

if it's on there streaming thing that no one uses korra is as good as cancelled sadly

Making Korra streaming only is an really odd choice. My guess is they want to prevent illegal streaming and pirating that way but realistically speaking it'll not help much. It doesn't really bothers me though because I watch it as stream anyway O3O

Season 3 bein a breath of fresh air is an mostly accurate statement to me. Emphasis on "mostly". It has it's issues when it comes to the pacing of the story wich is too slow for a show that has only 13 episode for the story (I fear a rushed ending). But given that Nick startlet the creators by ordering more seasons after the first one it holds up pretty well.

Also, no one would be confused by you releasing stuff with your bear persona in between.

Is Korra season 3's description as 'a breath of fresh air' your words or Nickelodeon's?

It certainly is doing better than season 2 (thus far) though it still has plenty to make up for. And, to me at least, it's still got the problem of introducing too many characters without taking time to develop them. I mean, it's season 3 and they're still working on bringing forth season 1 characters as more than cardboard cutouts.

so they put their show on a site where they can't be watched by anyone outside the US?


smooth move.....if they wanted it to sunk that is.

NSYAC is really entertaining! My friend and I discuss it sometimes! Still, I am rather annoyed about Korra being pulled in the middle of the season. At least it's not cancelled. They could have waited till the next season. I no longer have a reason to watch the channel again. I sincerely hate Nick again.

NSYAC is good!

NSYAC is great! I'm enjoying it.

I would not mind seeing more of the grumpy old bear. ^^ As someone who is already working in the comics industry, he gets to see and do things that Emily and Jade won't experience for a while yet. It's a different sort of perspective, and I think both are good. 

If I wanted to start watching the legend of Korra where should I start?

I have no idea why they’re doing this. They barely have any shows as it is and even less cartoons. It’s embarrassing how they have to flood the channel with SpongeBob and Fairly odd parents just to fill in the time slots.

If they’re going digital with Korra then they should put their shows back on Netflix as well. It was stupid of them to think that removing their cartoon form Netflix would increase the ratings of their channel.

Whats Nickelodeon going to put in Korra's place? MORE Spongebob!

As if I needed another reason to badmouth Nickleodeon (I don't know or care if I spelled the name right).

Heh. Personally I'm really loving the NSYAC! I recently graduated, but I still love reading about the college art experience since it's so fresh in my mind

I like the new SYAC and I love Alex Ze Pirate.

Nick had originally promised 2 episodes of Korra tonight.

TV Guide channel listed 2 episodes.

The newspapers listed 2 episodes.

The digital on-screen guide listed 2 episodes up until last night. This morning it listed 1 episode followed by an episode of Spongebob.

I thought it was an error. They wouldn't screw the Korra fans, would they? Hell, they already went in dry by moving Korra to digital / online only.

They bloody well screwed us a second time tonight, and without a reach around >_<

My guess, is the drop in views made the show not worth keeping on the air but not such a bad drop in which they decided to cancel it completely.  Season 3 does seem way significantly better than the first two seasons but there's still time for them to ruin it.

It was moved there that way they can get a better rating show in its slot. Season 2 hurt its ratings hard, but it had just enough viewership to justify not being cancelled entirely.

Both! Both! Both!

I miss the bear. Go ahead and post some comics with him!

Korra being digital seems to me they are taking a step towards a pure digital age. TV is slowly dying to online watching and streaming. I still say we are far off from throwing out the TV we know and love but its another step towards it.

go for it I like both SYAC and NSYAC

I love both NSYAC and the one with the bear, and I don't really get confused between them.

Nick had a big leak on the show and the first few eps were put on the internet. That could have something to do with it to.

Go ahead. Post comics as you see fit. As long as they are labeled SYAC and NSYAC and organized, I'm fine with it. As long as it is between the Tuesday, Thursday schedule ya got going, it won't get confusing.

We will have Tuesday and Thrusday to get our fix of NSYAC, and we can expect it on those days if ya keep up the schedule. (Not gonna blame you if you don't.)

And then just other fun stuff as well. So by all means, post comics as you see fit.

Ratings. It's all about ratings. And Nick weird. But mostly ratings. 
Comic's been fine. No problems so far. Humorous enough. 

Nick will do anything for money, advertising the ever living SHIT out of sucky cartoons, ignoring the ones that are worth watching, even hiring youtubers to do a show. Fine Bros, don't fail us. And Nick, don't fuck with it.

I enjoyed following SYAC, NSYAC, Alex and your other art website, even though I haven't commented much on them.  I had just begun following your twitter, too!

Maybe you could title it "NSYAC: Emily and Jade", that way people will know it is a serialized story of Emily and Jade.  Or something like that.  Just a thought.

I can't understand Nick. Their advertising for the only good show they have to offer is pathetic. Yeah, there's a fanbase that'll obsessively check for updates on when a new season starts in the time in between them, but there are some who would watch that don't even catch wind of it. Just two weeks ago I invited some friends over to watch the new episodes, and one realized only after we started talking about the season up to that point that she had missed book 2 completely, along with the start of book 3. I guess there's a problem in the fact that a lot of fans can't stand the rest of the garbage Nick has to offer, hence they don't watch Nick at all outside Korra and don't catch commercials. Then the shenanigans with the leaked episodes were bound to decrease ratings somewhat, but after releasing the trailer early and starting the season a few weeks after and rushing through episodes (presumably to catch up to and pass the leaked material), now that they've gotten this far they're yanking it?

And book 2. What can we say about book 2? Introduction of the horrid timeslot(s) aside, I'd never seen a more unsteady schedule. I was living on-campus in a res hall at my college, and I'd watch Korra on a social lounge TV (with no TV guide feature). There was literally nothing else I watched throughout the school year. Then one week, its timeslot has changed; Bratz adventures or something stupid like that comes on instead. I try to search on the internet for official word of the timeslot, information that Nick clearly hadn't bothered to make readily available, since several minutes of searching Nick's site and TV guide websites yielded nothing. Then I think the slot changed back after that, then the week of the Beginnings special (a wonderful two episodes, as I would EVENTUALLY be able to find) they've moved it up 30 minutes. I get there seven minutes early and am bewildered to find it already on, but catch the end of one episode, disappointed to have missed it, and then leave, not knowing until later that the next one aired immediately after it.

I honestly don't understand the purpose of juking your audience on the timeslot! And then they act surprised when ratings suffer, after wasting people's time? A lot of people would give up more easily than me, though I was frustrated because my schedule is intense during the school year. The fact that I did my best to watch it but literally couldn't find it on more than one occasion means something was seriously wrong. Then for whatever reason they give up before the finale and release it online first (as the reward for enough retweets of something, if I remember?)

The Korra preview for book 3 eps up to this point, if I remember, had the narrator saying 'Tune in to an adventure you can't catch online, or anywhere else!' probably alluding to the leaks. ...What do we say now? 'Aaactually, you can catch the rest of the adventure online, and nowhere else!'

I just don't get it. Obviously Korra and ATLA are shackled to Nick, but it feels ridiculous that the network would subject it to this sort of train wreck. Sorry, that's my Korra rant
