I will never forget how broken I felt when I heard that Teen Titans was cancelled. It was my comfort show. I was obsessed with all the characters and the plot. I would fight off sleep to watch it, because I wanted to do nothing else but watch Teen Titans.

But despite the fact that it was cancelled, I could find reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang that I would watch before and after school. I would rent DVDs from the library and would bother my dad to rent the Teen Titans movie from Blockbuster.

Despite how sad I was about the cancelation, I still had access to the show. I could still stay up until midnight watching it and just think about what could've been.

I think this is why I'm very adamant about trying to the cancelled shows (especially the kids' cartoons) getting uncancelled. If I lost all access to Teen Titans as a kid, I don't know what that could've done to me. It brought so much joy to my life, so I can't imagine how modern kids feel about their favorite comfort shows not only being cancelled but just completely deleted/removed off the platform.

Kids don't have the ability or know-how to pirate or torrent shows nor can they buy them anywhere. So now they just have nothing but the memories.

Cancelled shows can come back (ie Brooklyn Nine Nine, Timeless, Futurama, Clone High, Arrested Development, Phineas and Ferb, Community, Minx, Star Wars The Clone Wars, etc) but in order for another company to buy these IPs, there's needs to be proof that it's a worthy investment. The way to do that is by keeping the fandom alive.

Watch the show legally if you can, write that fanfiction, make that fanart, be as obnoxious as you can possibly be about your favorite cancelled shows because they can be saved.
