Description So remember when Sonic Boom was doing pretty good? getting close or over a million views despite a early timeslot? Well sadly it seems that success has finally run out. If you've seen the ratings you can see that the show's barely getting over 100k views ever since Cartoon Network switched the premiers to Boomerang, and that's with a 6pm timeslot. But why? why is the show now starting to drop hard in the ratings. I've seen a lot of fans claim that nobody likes the show anymore so that's why it's not doing so well anymore. While that's not a terrible assumption I think I have one that may be a bit closer to the real reason, Cartoon Network's the one to blame not the show's own quality. See they're in charge of advertising the show and giving the show it's timeslots, but they've obviously done a terrible job at it. If you think the reason they're doing this is because they don't give a shit about the show, then you're absolutely correct, but thing if you noticed you can see that CN doesn't actually care about any of their third party shows anymore, You know besides that one show that everyone hates. It's not a problem that's exclusive to boom but almost any other show that wasn't made by them, even the third party shows that gave them great sucess in the past they now treat like shit. Take Transformers for example, there were a ton of different TF shows on the network including one that CN helped produce themselves, so how are they treating the newest show Robots in Diguise? They air it at 6:30am with no advertisments. This was a problem when the show started as well, but I think the reason it did well back then was because Sega did a good enough job promoting the show so at least the fans knew about it. But now even they haven't really been talking about but I don't think it's entirely their fault. Ok this parts more of a rumor so it may or may not be true, but apparently according to some people who work for Sega, they said that the company didn't even know the second season premired because CN didn't tell them. When the company who helped made the show doesn't even get awared that the network premiered Β their work, you know you've chosed the wrong channel to air your show on. That's why I think Sega should have chose Disney XD as the network to air their show on. Why Disney XD? well first let me tell you why I don't want it on aired on other kids networks. I don't want it on Nick cause while they do treat third party shows a little bit better, they usally just dump them on their less popular network Nicktoons after a while. That and a lot of their advertising is just cringeworthy so they'll probably add a lot of fart sounds in the Boom commericals, And sure Disney XD's ads can be a little cheesy as well they're nowhere near as dumb as Nick's ads. I also don't think it should of aired on Discovery Family either cause while they do treat their third party shows with some respect, but like Boomerang the channel itself isn't included in a lot of tv packages so it'd be in the same situation the show's in now, like their most popular show is MLP and even that I don't think even reaches 500k views anymore. I think the show would have done so much better on Disney XD cause they pretty much treat their third party shows with just as much respect they give to their own shows, So it would probably have good advertising and timeslots. Plus if they aired the show on this channel then it might not only get the same views from Sonic fans, but kids might actually watch it as well, you know the people this show was targeted at. If in any possible chance the show is lucky enough to get a third season then I wish Sega would tell Cartoon Network to fuck off and move their show on to Disney's channel. I hear that Pokemon's going to move to Disney XD starting with the Sun and Moon anime, so I think it's possible for Boom to move over to that network as well.

To me, I think the show should air on this brand new channel called Universal Kids. It's basically a rebranding of a kids channel known as Sprout. Basically, it still airs Sprout shows durring the middle of the day, but later in the afternoon, they will be airing shows. Most of them will be Netflix shows made by DreamWorks Animation like Dragons: Riders of Berk and All Hail King Julien, but that's because Universal owns the entire studio now. And also, they have this new show called Top Chef Junior, which is based on this cooking reality TV show called Top Chef, but I think this is just Top Chef trying to compete with Master Chef, also for the fact that they already had Master Chef Junior. Anyways, I think Sonic Boom should air on Universal Kids because Universal, the company itself, actually owns the rights and distributes the DVDs of Sonic Boom. I think Universal Kids is the perfect home for Sonic Boom not just because of the DVD thing, but also because when it comes to animated shows on Universal Kids, Sonic Boom would be able to stand out of the crowd because most of the shows on the channel would be mostly be DreamWorld Netflix shows, and people can easily watch those shows on, well, Netflix.

Cartoon Network: Don't worry! We'll acquire you!
Sonic Boom: Actually, I can still hear you, and my vote's for Disney XD. Or Nick, even though it's not that good.

I was really pissed off at the fact that CN moved it to Boomerang in favor for MORE Teen Titans Go! I really hate CN for that cause Sonic Boom was the only show on modern CN.(I hope you haters are happy) They even treat Regular show like shit. When the season finale was coming up all they did was air Teen Titans Go! and some movies for SEVEN HOURS! Β who would watch seven hours of the same shit every day?

Especially since TWO Sonic Cartoons have already aired on the Disney Channels.

With 'Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog' being the first many years ago on Toon Disney,
and 'Sonic Underground' being the most recent on Disney XD.

Then Disney buys Ouido to buy Sonic Boom, then buys SEGA to get the whole package. They reboot both series in their style.

And besides, Sonic Underground has been airing on Disney XD for years and they haven’t touched it.

That's because they kinda owned DiC when it first aired.

That was the same era when Pixar was making Toy Story, wasn’t it? Did Disney just see the potential in Steve and his crew?

This is probably true.Β 
Disney XD is a premium channel while CN is a cable channel but that time slot still means a lot.
Boomerang is also premium but I believe the channel's over all ratings are lower than Disney XD's.

You wanna know what's ironic about this?

Its Canadian home, Family CHRGD, used to be a localized version of Disney XD.

TheΒ premieres are on Boomerang, Cartoon Network's just going to replace them. Ironically one of the episodes that aired on Boomerang at 6pm got 96k views while that same episode reran on CN at 6am and got 500k, kinda goes to show how small Boomerang is compared to it's big brother.

Not really, Sonic Boom is also available on Netflix worldwide except for the USA.
