When word came down that Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series were being cancelled by Cartoon Network fans quickly mobilized to start campaigns to boost viewership in a last ditch effort to get the fan-favorite shows renewed. So did their efforts amount to positive, tangible results? In the case of Young Justice, yes. But for Green Lantern: TAS there was virtually no change in its weekly ratings.

Young Justice: Invasion had an estimated 2.123 million viewers which would be a season high or the show. GL:TAS had an estimated 1.733 million viewers which is about par with what the show usually receives. For comparison, Cartoon Network's popular Adventure Time regularly commands around 3 million viewers per new episode. There are still a few episodes left for both YJ and GL:TAS so if you want to show the network executives they made a mistake, be sure you tune in every Saturday to DC Nation at 10 AM PST/EST.
