The weird thing is that I distinctly remember this never being the case during the Har Har Tharsdays era (and the time afterward when AT and RS were making their way onto the network) but, like, there were a few Foster's premieres that used the Bomb format (while it wasn't referred to as such it was still the same sort of thing- the last wave of episodes all aired on the same day in May '09, for one)
Generational divisions are completely arbitrary and exist only to service a revolving door of various corporations including but not limited to news and media conglomerates and advertisers.

wasn't CN just dumping out the show's final episodes to get them over with because they suddenly decided Foster's was some sort of liability?
i don't like waiting ages, and then it's all in one week, and then we wait forever again
i'd much rather have the episodes spread out, one a week
animation takes time
it'd be preferable to have one bomb a month, or to have actual seasons like MLP:FIM does, but that isn't how CN rolls
(then again, GF and Star have/had actual seasons too, and still Disney premieres episodes erratically and has lengthy breaks between seasons, though Nefcy said the hiatus between seasons 2 and 3 of Star isn't going to be as long as this one)
the thing that's powerful about this is we do this brand message consistently, and when we do the brand message consistently, we end up in a place where, to borrow a millennial phrase, we're "on cleek". So, probably not everybody in this room knows what I'm talking about right now, that means you're on point, alright? that means you have momentum, that's how millennials talk about, y'get me? alright, we were on cleek with breakfast, with our social engagement, our mobile ordering, and with the way we are transforming the experience in our restaurants.

actual seasons is what i meant
i don't mind breaks between seasons, because then we get nice long periods of time with an episode to look forward to every week
I dunno, but that would be pretty sad if it were the case, if not necessarily surprising. At the least, I will give CN credit for letting the show end on its own terms. (*GLARES LIKE FUCK AT DISNEY XD*)
As far as the show's narrative went the de facto finale was Destination Imagination anyway; the last couple of episodes were mostly just kinda lighter fare to bring the series back to a relative normal state before it ended in full.
CN's scheduling people probably don't watch much anime.
SHAFT are pretty good at turning a profit on their franchise properties. It wouldn't entirely surprise me if they'd given the model a look; it's completely different from actually watching all the Guitary series, which even most SHAFT fans haven't done.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
The E.W. Scripps Company is primarily a broadcaster - one that has seen better days at that. They bought Denver's ABC affiliate a few years ago and have run it into the ground.
(Before then, they ran the Rocky Mountain News into the ground and eventually shut it down, after 83 years of ownership)

the entire company on the business side is (and has been for a long time) pretty anime-phobic. I'd be surprised.
Not the people who actually make the shows, mind you. Just the people who count the beans.
They own things, but they're one of those companies whose presence is so vague I couldn't actually tell you what they own (other than Cracked).
and yeah, TV station chains don't tend to be prominent unless they're, like, the Hearst Corporation, or the aforementioned KMGH's old owner McGraw-Hill (who sold it and their other TV stations to Scripps so as to focus on businesses it deemed more attractive to Wall Street)

Pardon the irony here, but anytime Disney TVA decides to hang with the big boys they invariably decide they don't like that and revert to churning out endless The Series and other IP plays

that's interesting to hear - you know where I could read more about this?

I wasn't trying to be aggressive. It's entirely possible they were completely unaware of it, for one thing. I just find it kind of funny and interesting.
...I still haven't seen the movie yet so I'm going to assume that you're taking the piss, though if that actually were how they ended up doing things I guess it wouldn't be terribly out of left field
(I'm not really the type to rail on folks for spoiling things, but even then, I feel like that movie's probably going to work best with me not knowing a damn thing about it.)

that word annoys the heck out of me though

What the heck is the name of this song

Coincidentally, daijoubu is something of an arc word in Dance with Devils, I recall.
