When Hamtaro and his Ham-Ham crew made it over to Toonami, how did you react?

I only watched about half an episode before giving up on Hamtaro.
I've always been bitter towards CN about Hamtaro because it was the show that killed Sailor Moon.
SM had been moved to the time slot right before Toonami, and it was getting much better ratings than Hamtaro. CN wasn't happy about this because they spent a lot of money on Hamtaro, so SM was replaced with Ed, Edd, & Eddy and has never aired on CN ever again.
So thank you CN and Hamtaro for killing one of my favorite shows. _________________ "Robots don't say 'ye'."

Honestly? I really didn't care...
People like to point at Hamtaro as the downfall of Toonami, but by that time I had stopped watching the block from start to finish, simply setting my VCR to catch what I was interested in. I've probably seen a combined forty seconds of Hamtaro footage, so I can't personally comment on the show itself... _________________ "Life's a journey, not a destination..." -Aerosmith ('Amazing')

My first thought: "Laura is going to be a smokin' hottie in about 5 years."
Ah, the Hamtaro days. I watched my first episode at band camp, when it ran side by side with Sailor Moon. Ah, Sailor Moon... _________________ To do two things at once is to do neither. —Publilius Syrus, Roman slave, first century B.C.

SM had run out of gas, and Sailor Stars couldn't be brought over because us Americans like our gender roles.
Besides if they kept running the same seasons of SM it would've become a Trigun/Bebop/FLCL/DBZ-like Albatross preventing them running new stuff.
Besides, Williams Street wanted a big boys club and Turner wanted to skew younger. Those agendas led to Adult Swim and Miguzi, effectively nerfing Toonami.
Don't blame the Ham Hams for the downfall of SM, it was time and intent that killed it as well as Hamtaro eventually.
If they had aired Hamtaro earlier, cared about the female/13 to 18 male demographics, then SM would've been squeezed until it was dry.
But they didn't, and still don't, so enjoy Out of Jimmy's Head because both the Ham Hams and the Sailor Scouts are in a graveyard buried with the Justice League, Megas XLR, the Teen Titans, and the crew from Reboot.
By the by, I absolutely adored Hamtaro because of its likable characters, good voice work, and incredibly sophisticated story structure with Hamtaro's and Laura's worlds/narrative either running concurrently or juxtaposing.
Plus, the REAL Krillin played a wandering stoner minstrel Hamster.
Teen Titans is still on Saturday mornings during "Dynamite Action Squad". Totally Spies was also brought back.
Normally CN pulls shows that do poorly in the ratings, but SM was doing great in the ratings. It was stealing Hamtaro's thunder so CN got rid of it.
It would be nice if CN ran the show until people got sick of it, but they didn't.
Hell, CN runs Billy and Mandy and Ed Edd & Eddy into the ground and those are still on. Even DBZ is still on the air.
I don't blame Hamtaro itself for killing SM, I blame the network for putting too much faith in it, then offing the competition when the Ham Ham gang didn't live up to their expectations. _________________ "Robots don't say 'ye'."
