What Should and Shouldn't be on Adult Swim

[TerdFergusson]

Home Movies :D definately, back to 2 episodes
Baby Blues :yawn: okay show, later time slot
Aqua Teen Hunger Force :D definately, more episodes too!
The Brak Show :) pretty good, but some episodes suck
Sealab 2021 :) another good show
SGC2C :( Adult Swim's worst show in my opinion, it doesn't make any sense an isn't very funny
Cowboy Bebop :( Anime doesn't fit in Adult Swim, but according to Sat's new lineup, it's going to. I like Anime but it shouldn't be there

I really like everything on Adult Swim...except for Home Movies and Baby Blues. Don't get me wrong, they're both funny, but it seems like Williams' Street's stuff is a lot funnier to me. Maybe I'm just one of those types who doesn't think a show is funny if it's understood by more than half the people who watch it ( like Monty Python, Invader Zim, etc ).

[Zorakfan]

SPC2C Worst show? Without space ghost, we wouldn't have AS at all. And the back to bak home movies were a bit much. I'm glad we have another show filling in the 10:30 slot.

[Naraht]

shouldn't be anime??

bloody hell, I think they should junk most of the american stuff, cause it's to tame, and get more anime! =p

[AgentMaxX]

My version:
Home Movies:DI really like it, 2 eps. please
Baby Blues:rolleyes:Not very good, but could take a later spot
ATHF:confused:Never seen it, don't want to
The Brak Show:confused:Haven't seen it, but if it's like SGC2C, then it might be ok
Sealab 2021:confused:Once again, haven't seen it
SGC2C:)Not horrible, just not the greatest thing ever made
Cowboy Bebop:DNani? Stick the best anime ever last on the lineup??Switch it with Baby blues please, or, well, it's going to saturday anyway, so whatever.

they are makign a saturday adult swim with several animes plus batman, batman beyond superman and samurai jack, it runs quite longer than sunday's comedy block...

[Zorakfan]

Smily reviews are all the rage! :mad:

Home movies: :yawn: occaisonally a good episode, others, i just plain don't like. (I'm looking forward to next week's. Even got me excited)
Baby blues: :) It's Ok, adds some variety, a little on the predictable side.
ATHF: :cool: I hope you can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can!
Brak: :p The first few episodes were OK, but the show's getting old fast.
Sealab: :D Best...new...series...ever
SGC2C: :D Best TV show ever. Better than kung-fu sex!
Cowboy bebop: :D One of the best animes ever. Is good, ja?

Hour long HM block: :( too much.
Brak's singing: :rolleyes: Annoying now. 3 Hams will kill him is best.
Real folk blues editiing: :confused: uhh...are they getting hurt? What's going on?
Saturday night hormone hentai hoedown, with your host, Quickdraw mcGraw! :o

"They don't call me quickdraw for nothin', Hyuk hyuk!"
*BOOO!*

[Killtacular]

Who made you the supreme authority of Adult Swim?

Nothing "should" or "shouldn't" be on the block. Everything has been picked with delicacy, to suit all tastes, from improv (Home Movies) to silliness (Williams Street's shows, Mission Hill) to sitcoms (Baby Blues, The Oblongs), and now to action (all of Saturday).

Williams Street only picks shows that will get them the highest ratings possible, and not because some network dumped the shows on them. That's why you WON'T be seeing The Critic, Duckman, Freakazoid, and any show that is incapable of renewal, on the block. Adult Swim can't survive if it can't attract advertisers.

Rest assured, advertisers will flock to Saturdays like they did to South Park's "*****" episode.

[Zorakfan]

Southpark's what now?

OMFGROFLOL!!! :D :D :D That's the funniest think I've heard in quite a while!! :D :D LOL

[Calhoun07]

I know it means $$$ in the bank, but one thing I am not too crazy about on Adult Swim is more anime. A few hand picked anime series is welcome, but not a lot. I'd rather see them showcase adult animation from Europe.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what happened with Home Movies, Baby Blues, Mission Hill, and the Oblongs?

[Killtacular]

Uh, no.

UPN didn't dump Home Movies on them. UPN didn't even care about the show.

And neither did WB. WB would rather see Baby Blues' second season burned in a fireplace for all they care.

Williams Street saved the shows from demise and is giving them another chance on the air. It's not like WB came up to them saying "YOU MUST PLAY THIS." These decisions were all Williams Street.

Now if you want to REALLY know what does and doesn't belong in Adult Swim:

The Sunday block belongs.
The Saturday block does not.

[KingKoopa]

Belongs:
Home Movies
Baby Blues
Brak Show
Birdman: AAL
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
SG:C2C
Cowboy Bebop
Mission Hill
Obglongs

MAYBE: Yu Yu Hakusho

Doesn't Belong:
Toonami: The Midnight Run

[Evil Dr. Reef]

*In referance to Matt Williams' last post*
Ah. I misinterperated. What I meant was that the networks who originally had the shows didn't care about them, and just dumped them off on anyone who would take them.

[Killtacular]

Networks are never like that. Usually they charge high prices to let their shows go to rival networks.

That's why you don't see Duckman or The Critic on AS. Also because they wouldn't net any ratings whatsoever..

Ah... the Critic. It's possible it might net some ratings. If it was after a fairly popular AS show... let's say "SGC2C" or "Home Movies," then it could possibly find it's audience.

[AgentMaxX]

Speaking of the midnight run, what the hell is up with that? They show edited TV-Y7 shows at midnight? It used to make sense when they showed Gundam Wing uncut, but now its just a waste of space, no one will stay up that late just to watch edited anime.

[ohmrbill]

And NOW there putting edited TV-Y7 shows on Adult Swim. Tell me how that makes sense.

[TerdFergusson]

Heres what doesn't make sense they're suppose to have a fine mix of shows (HM=improv, William Street's stuff="silliness", and anime=action) but they have TONS of anime at cartoon network already and most the stuff is edited. But Cartoon Network, nor many other channels, have animation that is improv or "silly" they shouldn't even market anime under the title Adult Swim. Personally, to me it makes me think of Home Movies, the Brak show, Sealab 2021, and AQHF; I mean even the promos with Aqua Man and Captain Linger and comedic. Anime should simply put on the Midnight Run if they wanna market it to adults.

[JTurner954]

The only show I feel does not belong o n Adult Swim is baby Blues. Even though I don't like ATHF, BRak show, and Sealab 2021, all those shows fit into Adult Swim. Baby Blues seems out of place with the other shows.

Shows like should be on Adult Swim: Well, someone else suggested it it but how about the MTV Oddities show "The Head" (on late, of course)?? And my top pick The Big O should be there. This way, maybe they don't have to edit the show to fit to a "7 year old audience".

[Pocket_Squirrel]

What should be on Adult Swim if they wanted to *really* make it interesting.. it would be Saturday and Sunday. I would prefer these unedited.. myself..

It would be nice to see them worked into the schedule...


Hand Maid May

Blue Seed

Clerks

Aeon Flux

Daria

Love Hina

Rouroni Kenshin

and.. umm.. *thinks*

Street Fighter 2 V

[spectre316]

Doesn't belong: The Brak Show. Tamed down Williams Street, really... it's actually a good show, well, kind of, but I don't consider it on equals with Sealab and ATHF (or any other AS show). The only way I'd see it belonging on AS is because I'm just used to seeing it every other week at 11 PM.

[Calhoun07]

Well, now that you mention the Brak Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast doesn't really belong there either, does it? I miss it on it's old Friday time slot. Only if they had Cartoon Planet back...

[spectre316]

SGC2C is essential to the block, isn't it? If they had AS without SGC2C, and SGC2C was still on Friday night, wouldn't you think there would be complaining from hardcore SGC2C fans?

Oh... and Cartoon Planet would be amazing. That was a good show, as I remember.

[Calhoun07]

Then if Space Ghost gets to stay, Brak gets to stay! :D

[spectre316]

Adding more Brak to SGC2C in small (SMALL) doses would be nice. At least once every episode... I always wondered why he wasn't on SGC2C.

[eegad123456789]

Having seen the entire series of cowboy bebop and the movie i have to say it is some of the best anime to be seen out there...Although a bit out of place in adult swim it is gr8 and i'm glad somebody finally knocked some sense into cartoon network - meaning: they finally put a good anime cartoon series on tv besides DBZ *gundam and outlaw and tenchi were pretty much crap i thought*. Those of you who don't seem to appreciate cowboy bebop very much are messed up in the head or have only seen one or two random cut episodes...
Sealab is good...i have'nt seen baby blues...brak is funny...home movies is a bit slow but still good...Aqua teen Hunger force is hilarious specially meatwad and carl "its like my pool is tearing A-- around the backyard......only its standing still. Shake - this is tricked out my friend...turbo. Carl - You stay away from it......because you are weird.
So you people quit complainin and go make your own tv

[pepsiweasel]

I will admit that i am not the biggest fan of home movies or cowoy bebop but i still enjoy them. baby blues is a refreshing addition to break up the double home movie block. i would really like to see more harvy birdman attorney at law. to be honest, as much as i enjoy sgc2c and am often rotfl during the brak show, birdman is hillarious. i also think sea lab is really great and is currently one of the strongest shows. i feel the the brak show is essential to adult swim. who doesn't love brak? what is killing AS is the same shows over and over. there are two shows i would really love to see hit adult swim. i really miss cartoon planet. i think they should either put the show back on or put out a dvd with all the cartoon planet clips they can gather up. the other show that would slide into adult swim perfectly and i am surprised no one has mentioned it that i can see is god, the devil and bob. the show was simply hilariousy. the networks dropped it for the same reason they dropped clerks. it pushed the line too often and got too much bad press. aren't shows that push the line what AS is looking for? god, the devil and bob had 13 completed episodes when they were cancelled and had only aired 3 or 4. i say pick that one up and run with it AS.

[atf487]

They should air more episodes of ATHF. It is one of the more funnier shows in a while. I have the mooninites, which is the best 11 minutes ever spent. PM me if you want it. :




Home movies :) Jason is hillarious
Baby blues :mad: I don't find it funny. Not very adult swim-ish
The Brak Show :rolleyes: its pretty good. should stay on
ATHF :D best show on there.
New SGC2C :( old episodes with brack :)
bebop's moving
sealab: sucks

[Morgan Sloat]

Matt, please tell me your qualms with a Saturday night AS.

[MeatWad]

The Space Ghost Gotta Go Bro! They Need New Episodes! Put Back The 2nd Episode Of Home Movies,And Play SeaLab and ATHF for a second time in the place of Space Ghost.

[Zorakfan]

The hour of Home movies was a bit much...Not even CB should have a full hour. Sealab and ATHF will get old fast if they play 2 eps a night, and they just need to start digging into the old SG episodes. That's how I feel anyway.

You cant have AS without SGC2C Its not the greates show buit its cool and AS's biggest promotion.

[ccffan01]

SGC2C :D I love that show, started as in the first place

Brak :D Braks Voice makes it worthwhile

ATHF: :( Almost as enjoyable as the commercials listed on the least favorite commericials thread on the ani gen board.

Home Movies: :D Great Pickup

Cowboy Bebop: :rolleyes: Undeciede

Baby Blues: :) Preety good show

Havey Birdman: :) FUNNY

Sealab: :D Another Really Funny Show


Capt. Linger: :) Not really an AS show but the shorts are funny.

[Gyro]

I think Family Guy should be on adult swim.

[VahnRPG]

Well, let's see...

ATHF: :mad: Total crap. Hope it goes for good

SGC2C: :rolleyes: Has it's good points

Sealab: :D Great! I hope this stays for good

Home Movies: :rolleyes: another one that has good points. I prefer when it was still in squiggle vision

Baby Blues: :yawn: Eh..

The Brak Show: ;) Some are pretty good

Cowboy Bebop: It's like a mix of Outlaw Star and Big O. Thus, I like it at times and others I don't. "The Real Folk Blues" rules, dude.

I just wished they'd put the uncut versions of the animes they're gonna put on for the new line up...ooh! i love it when they bounce! (tenchi reference there)

Well, that's just my list. Don't really care if you agree with me or not.

I agree with most of them especially that one. ATHF is the worst show on tv.

Whoa! The worst show on television in general? It isn't that bad..

[VahnRPG]

Well, apparently someone is forgetting Barney, Teletubbies, Smurfs, and a whole string of others.
I still stand by my claim, tho

[SSJ_Gogeta]

I want more Anime on AS!

But if it is just Toonami cut versions then I do not care for them.

Hopefully when Tenchi Muyo! arrives on ASA we won't be hearing "Tenchi want more TEA?" Ugh...

They aren't going to be shelling out more money to do a re-dub...we're stuck with the Toonami cut.

:)... I'll use them whenever needed.

[VahnRPG]

okay, now that just pissed me off last night. Sealab 2021 was ended with ATHF playing a video game of Sealab...I think they did that just because I said I hate that show...
