Wow, this thread blew up overnight. ;;)

Allright, let's take a listen to Hal Jordan himself, Josh Keaton:
ign.com/articles/2013/03/19/green-lantern-the-animated-series-star-josh-keaton-discusses-the-shows-end

“We really wish that we would have gotten more seasons,” and acknowledging that in the finale, “A lot of questions are answered but it was written with the assumption that there would be more seasons.”As to why Green Lantern only got one season, Keaton said, “From what I’ve heard the performance of the [Green Lantern] movie made it so there was a lot of movie toys still in stores. And so the stores didn’t necessarily differentiate between one being movie toys and others being animated series toys. They just said, ‘Green Lantern? We already have those.’ And so because of that, a toyline wasn’t even made. And because a toyline wasn’t made, we really didn’t have the funding to go on in that sense, because a lot of funding is tied to that. So it’s unfortunate. It wasn’t because the fans didn’t like it. It wasn’t because of the ratings. It really, at that point, came down to the merchandise, and we had a lot to overcome from the performance of the film and that’s where it was.”

I made the posts in this thread because I'd assume it changes Jamie's view on the finale and also gets the truth out to other listeners. I assume that's the same reason John of Wordballoon came here as well. I still love CGS, I love Wordballoon. It's a discussion. It's what Pants asks people to do at the end of each show.

If I produce a comic book podcast, of course I walk up and talk to Dan Didio and ask him on my show! You have Shane, Murd and Pant, all huge DC fans who've seen a steep decline in the amount of titles they read. Bring Dan on, let him do his DC pitch, ask him some follow up questions and then in a frank but cordial discussion, tell him what you're looking for from DC comics to get your buying dollar.

I also network the hell out of everyone I know in the industry. I am polite. I give them time as they are busy and owe me nothing. Some folks are very helpful, some are casual, some don't answer back.

KABOOM!
First short fired across the bows! Cue the music!

Will Gallagher respond!? Will Rios interrupt a CGS recording?? Has Pants' flight landed? Does Bryan Deemer even read comics any more?? Stay tuned true believers, the answers in an upcoming podcast!!!!!!

Also, to CGS and anyone out there, if you don't like a book, don't continue to buy it. Even if DCBS tempts you with discounts. It's the only way to affect publishing changes in Marvel and DC
