Anything Else/Cards has been renewed for another week of card and rerun chatter.

Whaddya mean regularly? FMA got 500K+ for a couple weeks straight, but that's about it for Saturdays.

[v1cious]

holy ****, Eureka Seven took saturday? that's good to know ratings are still up, and they can only get better in coming weeks since the fillers are over.

[Beat]

Korgoth flunked on Sunday. I'm a bit worried.

At least action ratings are stable...for now.

We don't know if it flunked. Tom had 500,000 viewers last week but it didn't make the Top 3.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Yeah but you also have to remember that Tom Goes To The Mayor must cost a LOT less to make then Kogorth, and the fact that Kogorth aired in an earlier, more profitable timeslot. And the fact that Adult Swim didn't bother mentioning how Kogorth did even though they mentioned Tom did well (they could of easily squeezed in a "Kogorth also got 500,000+" in the TGTTM pre-show bumper if they were proud of that). Anyway I just hope that the Kogorth series (there was a mention of more episodes coming right?) gets higher ratings, or at least a mention of doing well so more of it could be made.

Hopefully they can keep climbing up towards how they were during the first half of FMA :)

[livingfruitvirus]

We got another new Venture Bros. promo.

[Tenku]

Anyone know the name of the song that played in tonight's 2nd Gig (and what OST)? It plays a little into Saito's flashback...

[Jay]

Could someone explain the episode for me basically it was three people trying to kill themselves two guys and one little girl and at they end (i hope im wrong )but they show some condoms. The whole episode is just confusing.

The whole episode is just confusing.They died in the building near the start. Which is why they were screaming when they discovered they had no shadows anymore.

The whole episode is just confusing. My take on the episode: the three characters are attempting to commit suicide. While they do end up dying when the building that they were in collapsed on them, they don't realize that they're dead and thus continue to seek suicide. However, by the end, something happens to the three characters that makes them decide to stop seeking suicide attempts and live their "lives" as ghosts. For the two youner ones, it involves how they met Shounen Bat and how they're interested in seeing them again. For the older one, he realizes some strange things going on and realizes what has happened to him and the other two (he refers to it as "death by delusion").

An afterlife for
'Oblongs' among teens

Sees a nifty jump on Cartoon's Adult Swim

By Toni Fitzgerald
Jun 16, 2006

Less than two years after spinning off from Cartoon Network, Adult Swim is increasingly the place where animated series that failed on broadcast find new life.

In the case of "Family Guy," it did so well, its Adult Swim ratings skyrocketing, that Fox brought it back. There are now reports of a rebirth for the similarly popular "Futurama."

Might WB’s late oddball series "The Oblongs" be the next Adult Swim hit?

It’s certainly possible, judging by its popularity among teens. The series has been popping into the top 30 in recent weeks among teens 12-17, an audience that the new CW is expected to court, more than five years after it left broadcast.

The 11 p.m. Monday, June 5, episode of "The Oblongs" ranked No. 28 on all of basic cable and broadcast last week, averaging a 2.3 rating and 560,000 viewers.

It finished behind only a handful of broadcast shows, including ABC’s NBA finals games and Fox’s "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy," but ahead of usual teen-pleasers "WWE" on UPN, "War at Home" on Fox and everything on the WB.

What’s interesting is that "Oblongs" is more popular among teens than it is among Adult Swim’s target demo, 18-34s. "Oblongs" didn’t make the top 50 in that demo. The network says it does not track teen viewership and offers no reason why the show has become popular in that demographic.

One reason is likely that 12-17s are just now finding out about "Oblongs," which they were too young to understand during its brief stint on the WB in 2001. At the time, it was quite controversial.

The Oblongs live in a valley polluted with toxic waste, and because of it they’ve suffered deformities. Dad Bob has no arms or legs, alcoholic wife Pickles is bald, sons Biff and Chip are Siamese twins, and youngest daughter Beth has what is politely called a stalk sticking out of her head.

The series, despite showcasing the formidable vocal talents of comedian Will Ferrell and "Designing Women’s" Jean Smart, lasted just a few episodes in spring 2001 before the WB yanked it. The network received lots of criticism for poking fun at the disabled, but creator Angus Oblong, who based the characters on his children’s book "Creepy Susie," has long insisted that the show intended to give an honest, unpatronizing look at the disabled.

Still, the program was pulled in the middle of its first episode in Australia three years ago after protest groups raised a ruckus. It joined Adult Swim in 2002 and has bounced on and off the schedule since then, including a run on TBS as well. It usually airs Sundays at 1:30 a.m. on Adult Swim but occasionally fills in other timeslots such as last Monday’s.

[A.Magik]

The basic idea I'm getting about the timeframe of the present age-story (the episodes set in '1915', right date?) in Full Metal Alchemist is that the time span from the Brothers Elric's visit to Lior to Scar creating the Philosopher Stone in Lior was pretty much four or five months. However, there is Rose and the baby. If the baby was hers- and if this was caused by rape- then this implies that the span between those incidents had to be almost a year. That doesn't work right. So I have two ideas:
-Rose was already with child when the series began.
-Rose is not the baby's biological mother, that she adopted the orphaned babe after being released.

Anyone got a better idea?

I vote for "plothole".

Is this the same Jean Smart that plays Martha Logan on 24? I didn't realize she did a voice on the Oblongs. Who does she play?

Pickles, of course. :)

[Space Chief]

Did Batou just say, "Wow-that crap is gummy!"?

[Timmay]

Adult Swim needs there own advice column.
"If she's under 16, say she's cute" "If she's over 16, call her a *****"

[delariean]

Wow...I was just thinking when the B&W cards came out that we would just have a transcript of what was said....wow...those were the days....:D

[Youko Recca]

Ugh. That "Ron Jeremy's Butter" crap was unnecessary.
