Make your voice heard!

Several people have inquired about how they can contact Nick. I amm reposting the anonymous tip from the last post.

Mr. Herb Scannell
President, Nickelodeon
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

If you happen to live in New York, or if you can afford a long distance phone call. Viewers can voice complaints with the following number.

Nickelodeon apparently doesn't have a viewer feedback e-mail. But you can give them feedback about cancelling My Life as a Teenage Robot on their web site at:

XJWriter is No More!

When the show did not get picked up for a fourth season his work was done. He has moved on to another show at a different company. He was the one that did the daily updates as many of you are well aware. Unfortunately I am still swamped producing the show and it is hard for me to squeak out any time to post. Please be patient with us!! As the show winds down I will have more time and I should be able to do more with the blog.

Band Aids and Teenage Robots

You know how it's best to remove a band aid quickly rather than try to minimize the pain by going slow?

There will be no fourth season of Teenage Robot.

The executives love the show but the ratings aren't good enough for them to give us more episodes. We've known for quite awhile and I apologize for not letting you all know sooner but it I didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm you all have for the show. It really lifts my spirits to read your posts.

On the plus side, there are still many unaired episodes of Teenage Robot yet to come. Some of our best, I think. So please keep watching and spreading the word about Jenny. If the ratings improve over time who knows...

SpongeBob's original run was only three seasons as well ;)

Calling All Webmasters!!

Do you run a MLAATR fan site? IF so, when's the last time you posted new material? Would you like to see "Escape from Cluster Prime" on Video and DVD?

RECENT activity on fan sites is one of the things that might convince Nick that there is a market for the TR TV Movie. No guarantees, off course, but anything that shows a strong fan base will help our chances. So if you haven't been posting, do it for Jenny!

The Problem of Cartoon Continuity in TV Cartoons

Here at MLAATR we are discouraged from creating long story arcs that carry through several cartoons. The reason? Because we never know what order things are going to air. You will all soon see an example of this on your very own television. The episodes that will start showing this week are, for the most part, Season 2 shows. "Escape from Cluster Prime" was done at the start of Season 3. I made the foolish assumption that Nick was going to air all of Second Season WAAAAYYY before the movie ever played. So in these "new" episodes you will see Vexus and the rest of the Cluster as if the movie never happened. Which, when we made these episodes, it hadn't.

Oops They Did It Again!

As I'm sure many of you noticed, the new show did not premiere at 6 last night. I hope you didn't all turn off the TV in a fit of uncontrollable rage because it started at 6:15. Everybody, including yours truly, had no clue that this would happen. If you've watched the U-Pick program before you're aware that they show things starting at wierd times but you'd think that when they promote something for 6 that they would put it on at 6.

I hope that at least some of you stuck around and saw the first episode. If not they will all repeat on Saturday, or so I'm told. Be aware that similiar shenanigans may happen througout the rest of the week. Please be patient and, hopefully, Teenage Robot should play before we all have to go to sleep.

A Christmas Treat after months of Repeats

The current plan is that we will still be showing our Christmas Special this holiday season with the rest of second season to follow in late Jan or early Feb.

Sorry for the delay with the new episodes, everyone. There are various internal reasons that caused Nick to push the launch of second season. The most important is that they really want to promote the start of new episodes which they have not been able to do this fall. So, although it's a disappointment to all you TR fans, the ads will helpfully create new fans and grow our audience base.

Stay tough and look forward to a special present from the TR crew this November.

Has Anyone seen Jenny Wakeman?

Or any other MLAATR characters being portrayed at the ComicCon? I know it's probably too soon to have people making TR costumes but I can hope, can't I? Unfortunately I couldn't make it down to San Diego this year so I'm hoping any fans that go can report back if they see any other fans dressed in metallic blue and white. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

My Life as a Teenage Robot Show Creator

Just wanted to drop in (now that I'm invited) and say how jazzed I am to see our Roblog up and running. The enthusiasm of the staff and fans means the world to me. I know everyone is getting anxious for new episodes and I want you to know that were all anxious to make them for you. Just started working on the music and sound fx for the first second season episode. It's a half hour special called "Victim of Fashion" and it's looking great. Our design team really poured their heart (and hands) into this one. What's it about? To quote Number 2: "Now that would be telling."

Guess who?

Hello Teenage Robot fans!
So, I'm the second crew member to haunt this blog, and I'll give you a hint or two about who I am...I'm a character designer and I have tons of fun coming up with new designs for the show! Right now, we're working on our Holiday episode (stay tuned!), and I've been noodling around with some fun designs for Santa, Mrs. Claus, and some cute elves and reindeer. In the coming days and weeks ahead, I will start posting a few things here and there, giving you a teeny glimpse of how things work around this crazy place! I might even start taking and uploading a picture or two of the studio and what things look like on the inside of Teenage Robot......So stay tuned, and we'll get something rolling pretty soon here, including a whole graphic redesign of this blog! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Signing off!
