-Unfortunately, I believe Nickelodeon marketed it to the wrong audience: it
-should have been aimed at teenagers and adults.
The real stumper is that Nick approached Jhonen about doing an animated series for them. Considering the previous work he was known for at the time, a la JTHM and Squee, you have to wonder what their ulterior motive was giving Jhonen a series on a childrens' network.
Slashdot is getting around to reporting this story just now, when the news broke about two days ago.... I've come to know Slashdot as usually being ahead of the mainstream media, but this time it seems they've fallen way behind. Or is this another instance of submitted news only being posted now because a particular screener caught the story and deemed it fit to print?
