Mid-Season hiatus confirmed?

[The Coffee Pony 1,390]

You know what, the more I think about it, the more I realize how stupid this is. Again I can deal with it but I will still call this out for how dumb it is.

 

Forgive me for this, I know I bring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a lot but right now it's the only show I can bring up at the moment that also has a notoriously atrocious airing schedule. Let me explain its airing schedule

 

- After 3 episodes were released we were slammed with a 3 week hiatus.

- After the next 3 came out we were then hit with a 2 month long hiatus.

- After that long hiatus we then got 4 more episodes and got hit with a 5 week hiatus

- 4 more episodes (we got a two-parter in this batch) and then we got another month long hiatus

- Month long hiatus ends we get another 4 episodes and we get yet ANOTHER 2 month long hiatus which we'll be exiting two days from now!

 

Now I have to say that as atrocious as this airing is schedule is I probably have to argue that MLP's airing schedule is technically worse as it has LESS grounds to go on hiatus than TMNT.

 

This is because:

 

1) TMNT is a 3D CGI Animated Show whilst MLP is 2D Flash Animated Show. Now I'm not an expert when it comes to the Animation process but I'm pretty sure that 3D CGI Animation is more difficult to pull off that 2D Flash Animation.

 

and

 

2) TMNT Season 3 aired immediately after Season 2 did and might explain its horrendous airing schedule. MLP Season 5 on the other hand aired almost a full year after Season 4 and yet we've seen two hiatuses and we're slapped with another hiatus that will end during the second half of this year.

I'm sorry but My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic doesn't have an excuse for its airing schedule. When you're making another horrendous airing schedule look good in comparison, you've really screwed up.

 

I love Season 5 of MLP and I can deal with the hiatus but I will still call out Hasbro and Discovery for how stupid this move is.

I wouldn't mind if there was an actual reason to have a hiatus, but it isn't...

Agreed, anyone know if there's an actual reason for the hiatus?

We'll have to wait until like about later weeks, months or so until Hasbro will announce good news on Twitter feed that the 5^th season second part will resume. The finale should be around October this year I say.

I suppose it'll give me a break...

I wasn't really bothered when I heard of this, but at the same time, so many other people were losing their marbles.

I don't really understand why the show matters that much to them.
