DC SPECIALS- What happened to them?

[Kudo Shinchi]

So, I've been wondering, what happened to DC specials? The last one we had was 522, and that was an hour special. I don't even remember the last 2-hour special.

What happened?  

[kentasaiba]

Because 2 hours conan were to much.
No Conan has another time slot now.

Anime is catching up manga already, so 2 hours special is too much to broadcast manga-based episodes.

Apparently the new time slot doesn't make specials possible, which is a shame because even the AO specials were generally good.

arrrgh.... I actually miss DC Specials. They were so good I guess it is R.I.P for any DC specials...

( unless London arc somehow becomes DC special... I hope)

It went from Monday at 7 pm to Saturday at 6 pm.

So I remembered it right.  It was on Mondays at 7.  Why did they change it, and how long has it been airing on Saturdays? 

[Wakarimashita]

Since April 2009 if I'm not mistaking. I assume they made such a decision because the ratings were no longer sufficient for a 7 pm time slot.

Never have gotten the whole "show isn't performing as expected, move it to a worse time slot and hope it improves." And then moving it to a time that forces a change in the show as far as specials.... I'm sure having those occasionally was a better boost for overall ratings than having none.

Completely unrelated, I had to stalk your latest posts - but, have you listened to The Fall album yet? Revolving Doors is pretty amazing!

Yep, way OT, but yes, I did hear it.  Awesome, isn't it?  I just wish it wasn't digital only and they just release a tangible copy of it.  I'd buy it.

Yeah I agree. I'm going to be excited for it
