I'm guessing that Thundercats, like Young Justice, didn't pull sufficient ratings in prime time. At least CN didn't just jettison the two series and they're getting another chance on Saturday mornings.

And I'm really hoping that A) Super Best Friends Forever is good and, B) if it proves popular enough Cn will expand it into a series.

Do you have any reason behind saying YJ wasn't pulling good ratings (my own readings said it was on the high end for a cartoon), I mean it's 2nd season was green lit pretty early on. I assumed the change in day/time was just that CN wanted to market it's DC block on Sat morn...

From what I had heard, it mirrors Erikson's assumption. DC wanted to use YJ! to kick off their DC Nation block and purposely held back production of it until the schedules matched up.

That could be true as well. I just thought that, since Young Justice was running in prime time and Green Lantern premiered in prime time, they would keep them both in prime time where the advertising rates are higher if they were pulling sufficient ratings. Maybe the ratings were good, but CN decided to create a Saturday morning adventure package instead to try to shore up Saturday ratings.

I dont know the ratings for the show, but I dont think Ben 10 UA was doing badly enough to be pulled (if it was ignore this) and if thats the case maybe it was also moved along with YJ to help increase the flux of viewers in the morning... maybe?
