ITT: Characters that were meant to be big but failed to catch on
Ayden Williams
Carter Lewis
"cool cat"
Easton Bennett
Justin Reed
Isaiah Nelson
Logan Butler
Cool Cat (~1967) seems like a ripoff of Top Cat (first appearance ~1961).
Levi Robinson
This one hurts. He was actually a pretty fun character with an interesting ability.
Leo Diaz
Nick was betting on CatDog to become their next flagship show.
>Ordered 100 episodes right off the bat
>Made it a Weekday Strip
>Gave it a theatrical short
>Had Matell and other companies make a bunch of merchandise before the show came out and ship it to retailers in the first few months of shows release
>Aired promos constantly
>Aired the show as much as they could when it first came out as opposed to say Spongebob, which originally only had 2 weekend morning slots and a Friday evening slot
>Was first released on VHS a matter of months after it's premiere. But it would take three years for Nick to put out a VHS of Spongebob.
>Made a guest apparence in Figure it Out
They unironically thought this was going to be their biggest hit and pushed Spongebob aside.
Andrew King
I just wanted to post this redesign.
Wyatt Gomez
>was meant to be CN's new mascot with tons of promos and billboards everywhere
>ended up becoming a huge marketing failure, responisble for the downhill of the network and killed Billy & Mandy
Joshua Parker
>Shit mascot killed a shit show
Good.
Grayson Bell
Brayden Thompson
Disney thought big hero 6 toys were going to sell as well as frozen toys, so they just overproduced the toys leaving a bunch of unsold merch.
Elijah Price
>responsible for the downhill of the network and killed Billy & Mandy
do you actually believe that
Jordan Thompson
had 3 seasons
that's a huge accomplishment for a Nickelodeon show, most of whom get canceled after 1 season
Nathaniel Green
>had a decent premiere slot, overexposed promotion, daily reruns, video games and merchandising
>they even got the real life Puffy AmiYumi to appear on a parade float modeled after the show for Macy's 2005 Thanksgiving Day Parade
>suddenly got canned in 2006 and was quickly forgotten by everyone
CN wanted it to be the next Powerpuff Girls
Adrian Cox
didn't this show end prematurely due to a lawsuit?
Angel Bell
he probably also voted Hillary Clinton
Michael Russell
Aiden Carter
You could make an entire list of forgotten Any Forums mascots. Like Awesome Possum, the kangaroo from that Japanese platformer (I think his name was Lucky?), the Cheetahmen, etc
Grayson Morgan
Yeah but this is Any Forums.
Luis Hill
He could actually still be relevant and used if Marvel gave him a sassy black or Latina civilian girlfriend.
William Adams
CN wanted Class of 3000 to be the next HHPAY.
With the music celebrity tie-in cartoon concept, especially when the latter finished production a year before the former premiered.
