The fact that the series has been canned after season 2, though, is not.

Weisman has stated that over half the staff for the series have been laid off and renewal past season 2 is highly unlikely, and even if the show DOES get picked up for a 3rd season, they'd have to hire a completely new staff since all the folks they fired have moved on to new projects.

A shame when such a good show is canned as soon as it gets off the ground.

Yup... the American Children's TV industry at its finest. As long as one kid doesn't hurt himself doing something stupid, then the parents can turn a nice blind eye. "Oh, there is no children's TV anymore... I guess that's good. Now I'm going to have to blame the kids my kid hangs out with while I have another appletini with the other privileged soccer moms."

Season 2 didn't even START and they've canceled it. Even if the ratings are spectacular there's no hope. You know, if I were Marvel, I'd sue Sony for this. This has to be a breach of contract.

And yes, the DVD set will come out either by the time Season 2 airs or as soon as it does. That's usually how it works.
