Is TMNT thriving because all other action cartoons are being canceled?

Does anyone else think the reason all little kids are watching Nick's TMNT is because a lot of other action shows are being canceled?

If you haven't heard the sad news, both Young Justice and Green Lantern are confirmed to be canceled by CN after the remaining episodes air.

Thundercats was canceled after one season. Spectacular Spiderman and Wolverine & the X-men were both canceled after 26 episodes. Avengers ended after 52 episodes.

And the only other superhero show airing with new episodes confirmed is Ultimate Spiderman, which everyone agrees is crap. Other than, "Beware the Batman," there are almost no other action/superhero shows going to be in competition with TMNT for a while.

So to keep count:

1. Young Justice = canceled
2. Green Lantern = canceled
3. Spectacular Spiderman = canceled
4. Wolverine and the X-men = canceled
5. Avengers = canceled
6. Thundercats = canceled

While it makes me sad that all these great superhero shows are being canceled, it makes me wonder if it'll lead to the longevity of Nick's TMNT, because kids will probably want to watch at least one action show instead of all the usual comedies that both CN and Nick go for otherwise.
