What if The Smurfs had continued production?

What would happen if the Hanna-Barbera version of The Smurfs didn't cancel and resolved the cliffhanger to the time-travel storyline after being renewed for another season? Will the show switch from NBC to TBS Superstation for the tenth season, later move on to USA Network for the twelth season and finally Cartoon Network for the sixteenth season? And what would happen when production is switched from Hanna-Barbera Productions to Warner Bros. Animation and ended after Season 23, becoming one of the longest-running animated series on television? Let's figure out what will happen.

History
Prior to The Smurfs ' cancellation on NBC in August of 1990, TBS Superstation had recently renewed the show for a tenth season in December 1989, in which a TV special is the conclusion to the previous season's time-travel saga. Due to Paul Winchell leaving the show in disgust after reading the season 9 scripts, Michael Bell played Gargamel in this episode. After the special, the series's tenth season reverted to its Seasons 1-2 timeline permanently, which was used around the rest of the series, leading fans to consider the Seasons 3-9 timeline as non-canon.

As the series progressed, it went through an undergo in character development and well-developed storylines. The backgrounds becoming more detailed and clear, and the animation becoming more fluid and better-staged than it usually was when the series originally began. Gargamel was reworked to be more comical and incompetent, while Azrael was put as a Muttley-esque character in some occasions, usually making fun of his owner when he is attacked and/or chased away by either some one-time character(s) or Bigmouth, and a new character, a dimwitted vulture named Monty (who bears an almost identical resemblance to the Howlibird from The Smurfs and the Howlibird, but with grey feathers instead of green ones), who serves as Gargamel's second pet, was created to the show. After the tenth season premiere, Michael Bell was replaced with Hank Azaria as Gargamel.

Johan and Peewit also made their return as a recurring segment, despite not being connected with The Smurfs at all (which caused some controversy among fans), along with segments based on Peyo's other comic strips Benny Breakiron and Poussy. For the role of Benny Breakiron, various male child actors were chosen to voice the character throughout the show.

Right after Season 11 had completed production, the producers realized that Danny Goldman had resigned to work on other cartoon shows after he had announced his retirement. So, they brought in new actor Billy West (who worked on Ren and Stimpy at the time) to voice Brainy Smurf for the remainder of the series.

But by the twelfth season, the show made its switch from airing on TBS Superstation to USA Network. It later moved to Cartoon Network around Season 16 for the remainder of the series' run.

In Season 19, production of the animation had switched from traditional hand-colored cel animation to digital ink-and-paint.

Trivia

 * The tenth season was mainly the first to use the South Korean-based studio AKOM, and began to switch between both this studio and the Filipino-based studio, Fil-Cartoons. Halfway through season 16, both overseas studios were let go in favor of Rough Draft Korea, which stayed as the main overseas studio throughout the end of the series' run.
