In another forum we are having a discussion on GT & Super, due to the new series being announced. Someone made a comment about Super being super (

Personally, I dislike Super. And GT too! But as we were discussing I wondered, how come GT was cut short? The ratings took a dive, sure. But it doesn't seem to be anything too drastic. Do we have ratings for other series that were being broadcasted at the time?
Basically what I would like is to collect all the data that we can. I don't want this to be a GT vs Super (both series are mediocre

Final Bout sold well enough to get a The Best for The Family release in Japan!. Undoubtedly the series was a worldwide hit, I can assure this by having traveled to countries in Europe, South America and here in the U.S at the time. From 98-2005~ and even after that, GT was a strong series with a strong fanbase. So how come we always get the same answer that it bombed? I don't believe that. There's got to be something more we haven't looked into.
Some points we can research are these:
*Ratings of other series at the time.
*Dragon Ball revenues before, during, and after GT.
*Dr. Slump Remake ratings. Revenue(?)
Any other revenue reference would be great too, of course.
If you have any other things we could think of/find please share!
Let's see what we can learn from this ^^.
Please no Super/GT comparisons.
