Godzilla: The Series - Scheduling Problems

Scheduling Problems

Despite the mostly negative response to the film, the animated series still did well during Fox Kids' Saturday morning line-up and was praised by those who condemned the film. Ultimately, the series was overshadowed by the late 1990s Pokémon/Digimon war between Kids WB and Fox Kids during the 1999-2000 season. The result was Godzilla: The Series being placed in different timeslots on Saturdays to accommodate many of the Digimon marathons and back-to-back episodes; this would also affect other Fox Kids shows as well. For a brief period of time, episodes of Godzilla: The Series were either never repeated, or skipped over and rescheduled. There was a brief period where the show was taken off the schedule to accommodate new shows for mid-season, resulting in three episodes that were never broadcast.
