“Apple & Onion” Premiere Date And Time Announced
Now I’m hungry.
Set to stream on February 16th will be the first two episodes of a brand-new series called Apple & Onion. George Gendi (The Amazing World of Gumball) is the creator of the series that centers on two friends who leave their suburban lives in favor of big city living. Kinda like a Sausage Party for a younger audience, Apple, Onion, Lemon Drop, Pancakes and more are some of the featured characters in the series.
After they stream on wherever you get Cartoon Network digital, Apple & Onion will have double premieres of new episodes starting on February 23rd @ 7pm ET/PT, through near end of March. The first two episodes are entitled “A New Life” and “The Perfect Team”.
Check out two clips for the series below including the opening theme song.
Short of getting Roiland back, which I'm sure isn't going to happen, I don't even think they could get much better than the new voices from the previous season. And the ratings for season 7 weren't much lower on average than for season 6; it was pretty much just a normal season-to-season drop that most likely would have happened regardless.
I mean, look at the actual averages:
Season 1 - 1.57 million viewers Season 2 - 1.97 million viewers Season 3 - 2.33 million viewers Season 4 - 1.52 million viewers Season 5 - 0.96 million viewers Season 6 - 0.56 million viewers Season 7 - 0.42 million viewers
Ever since season 3, it had been having steep drops even with Roiland still involved; the season 6 to 7 drop is actually the smallest-percentage drop it's had since it started dropping, and if anything it's possible that changing the voice actors actually *boosted* interest a bit and prevented it from dropping even more.
