If it does end... I hope that TBS and M9 makes a Sasuke and Kunochi Hall of Fame that would be cool.

Technically, nothing is ever OVER, I mean it could always come back somewhere down the line, but hopefully this is only a fake rumor like hamo said.

Why do I feel like Blutarski from Animal House...

I've been horribly sick the last 2 weeks and just got back to the forums. I've just spent the last 20 minutes reading through this thread and all the developments made over the last couple of days.
I really don't have anything to say. I can't make any judgment until TBS/M9 makes an official statement.

Wow thanks. Also happy it's in English. I'm starting to see English language articles come out. Including one TBS tweeted about one of the shows that was mentioned in the article ending after something like 32 years.. mdn.mainichi.jp/arts/archive/news/2011/02/20110203p2g00m0et075000c.html So so far every single piece of information has been verified to be true (in that article) except confirmation on Sasuke's March end.. still looking for that. P.S. Ube that article that guy wrote.. really ties into this last article you posted..

Is it possible Monster9 could take their talents to South Beach Fuji TV that carried VIKING?

I know Viking got canceled because of injuries but is there some story I don't know about Celebrity/Family Viking?. Also I think that RC wasn't implying moving Sasuke to Fuji, but Monster9 making a new franchise for Fuji that's like Sasuke (Granted we know Viking didn't work but still)

Higuchi has burned bridges in the other networks he's been in .. that's industry-wide known.. Sorry you guys aren't up to date on that As for creating another show.. they'd need capital for that and a willingness to take the same dying mold to another station that has already rejected that concept years ago. You guys keep forgetting that this is not a popular format anymore.. those days are long gone. It's either on TBS or it's gone. There is no "transferring" to another station. Anyone that says that has no concept of television production costs and copyright ownerships. /facepalm

Oh I'm sure that if it's dying on ratings on TBS no other channel would want anything to do with it, I'm just trying to figure out what everyone else is saying XD

Ummm... does anybody see the possibility that the translator could've been bad and it meant that Kimpachi Sensei was ending in March and NOT SASUKE? Seems like a possibility to me...

We are waiting to see if TBS and M9 will say anything. As of now we have the article and nothing else. Given that the rest of the article is accurate one can only think one of 2 things a) it's true or b) it's false. Right now given that nothing else in the article is false the only logical conclusion is that it's true. Now.. given that information we can surmise a couple other things. a) someone leaked the information ahead of schedule and really shouldn't have been in the article (that's my guess) or b) they meant to say it and are gauging the reaction throwing Sasuke in the list of the programs ending to see what the public outcry was going to be. Nothing makes me believe that the person who wrote the article was doing something disingenuous for an type of gain. Again.. we have to see what TBS says.. if anything publicly. M9 is notorious for not saying jack.. especially when TBS is involved since they have their own public relations departments and ultimately impacts ratings on TBS as a whole.

So then should we make a big deal over the internet about this rumor? Maybe if we create bedlam then someone will catch wind?

Japan Which is why it's interesting TBS/M9 haven't said anything. Outside of the fact that the original article has been reprinted over and over again (yesterday I counted 14 different places) but the boards and what not are buzzing over there and have been before I even posted this. It was so big that even Taiwan found it and that's where Andy saw it and sent it to me. So right now it's been 5 days since it's been out in Japan and not a single peep from TBS about Sasuke.. they have tweeted about other things.. just.. not Sasuke.

If they tried to make a hubub about it they certainly got it >_>. It would be great if it just turned out that they leaked it for better ratings and never really intended to end Sasuke.
