So if the show was popular enough that it was granted an extra season, why was it suddenly cancelled? Originally planned for four seasons, Teen Titans was so popular that Cartoon Network created a fifth season introducing Beast Boy’s old team, the Doom Patrol, and their struggles against the villainous Brotherhood of Evil. Raven’s and Cyborg’s character arcs were already tied up, but Beast Boy’s had been opened back up in the last episode of the fifth season. A few plots were tied up: Robin, the leader of the Titans, and Starfire finally kissed, which, for a “kid” show, is a huge deal, especially after five seasons of playing up their relationship. The show ended abruptly, and a movie was released later that year, supposedly serving as the series finale. Teen Titans premiered in 2003, and five seasons and 66 episodes later, it was cancelled in 2006. Honestly, I still have all that merchandise somewhere in my house. I was Starfire, one of the protagonists, for Halloween all the way back in 2003. As a kid, I had a bunch of the toys, books based on the show, several original comic books and the 2006 admittedly sort-of-terrible console game. It’s sort of my favorite show, even now, nine years after its cancellation. This is not the first time I’ve written about Teen Titans.
