C&C - Anything Else [8/5-8/11]

[Space Cadet]

Welcome to the Anything Else thread! On last week's ratings cards, Bleach scored it's highest ratings on AS(well, at least on a Saturday), gaining over 500,000 18-34 viewers. Will the power of Orhime help it repeat again or will Master Moltar and D Dubbs be right and say it was a fluke?:p

It'll be interesting to see if they continue to advertise Saturdays. I sure hope they do, but they probably won't.

Birdman and Dingo return...nice! :anime:

[Master Moltar]

Even though it won't pull ratings as strong as Chicken/ATHF, the Birdman/Frisky pair at 12:00 will definitely get me watching. Two of my personal faves.

[Space Cadet]

Alright, question and answer week.:anime:

[Don_East]

I always liked Zoidburg's closing narration at the end of Love & Rocket. Especially the final part.

[Space Cadet]

Alright, more promoting Saturday's lineup.:)

[Master Moltar]

Alright, more promoting Saturday's lineup.:)

Color me impressed. I didn't think they would just move the Saturday preview card to after Futurama. Not as good as playing after FG (where the Sunday one will most likely return), but not bad either.

[Don_East]

Alright, more promoting Saturday's lineup.:)
That's good to hear. With Robot Chicken Season 3 premering next week, I thought AS would stop promoting SAT. I guess Bleach's ratings changed that.

[Kitschensyngk]

Hillary Duff's Diary of Anne Frank never ceases to be funny.

[Space Cadet]

You know, I wouldn't mind if Seth McFarlane voiced Lion-O in the new Thundercats cartoon next year.:sweat:

ratings feast


Saturday, July 28th


Bleach: 419,000
Futurama (2:30): 412,000
Blood+: 367,000

seems like the ratings crashed just as expected


Down: Bleach, Blood+
New: Futurama (2:30)

[Master Moltar]

Nearly exactly what I expected Top 3 wise. Good to see Bleach still hang on to #1.

[Don_East]

Maybe Mayuri freaked too many people out. Still, see that AS, advertise & you shall be rewarded.

[Demonic Raven]

Ratings went down, unfortunately, but it's still not half bad. Hopefully yesterday's Bleach episode garnered ratings a bit more special.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, July 29th


Family Guy: 1,277,000
Chicken: 804,000
Futurama (10:30): 802,000

thats a better order :)


Up: Family Guy
Down: Futurama (10:30), Chicken

[Master Moltar]

Chicken and Futurama nearly even. Interesting rivalry they got going.

[Master Moron]

Saturday, July 28th


Bleach: 419,000
Futurama (2:30): 412,000
Blood+: 367,000

seems like the ratings crashed just as expected


Down: Bleach, Blood+
New: Futurama (2:30)

Well, they did go down by about 150,000, but they're still not too bad. I mean, prior to last week hasn't Bleach been getting about 350,000 viewers? It's at least doing better than it was doing without ads.

By the way, does anyone have the Saturday bump?

[Neo Ultra Mike]

The latest card gave us some interesting info on the newest shows coming to AS. Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet is coming in April 2008 and Superjail is coming July 2008. Still no word if all the other pilots are picked up (though if we haven't heard by now it might make sense to say no) but at least having dates on these is somewhat refreshing. Well in Superjail's case anyway.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Fat Guy AND Superjail were picked up? :eek: :crying:

[TnAdct1]

Fat Guy AND Superjail were picked up? :eek: :crying: Many people knew about this around the time AS had that night dedicated to airing those pilot episodes.

[Vyse]

I have no clue what to watch on Monday: Daily Show, Colbert, and the festival that is Street Fighter II V, or the ATHF Marathon (probably the first choice). But, still, I like the ads and the bumper with great American Andrew W.K.

[Kitschensyngk]

:crying:

WHO'S GONNA BRAG ABOUT HOW CUTE HIS DAUGHTER'S GOTTEN IN THE PAST TWENTY MINUTES NOW?!

[Space Cadet]

Last night was the first time I saw those two Inuyasha episodes and I must say, I enjoyed them. The first episode had Kikyo not being in her normal "I WANT YOUR SOUL INUYASHA AND I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR BETRAYING ME EVEN THOUGH NARAKU WAS THE ONE WHO CAUSED THIS" mode and there was some nice interaction between Kagome and Kikyo. Even at the end when she went with Inuyasha, there was no misunderstanding or joke that ruined the love between the two. Take away the 10 "sit boy's" Kagome said at the beginning and Shippo's useless comments(Inuyasha doesn't always deserve the punishments he gets Shippo), and you had a perfect episode.

The second was just as good, focusing on the two followers of Koga and their hilarious attempts to keep Koga and Sesshomaru away from each other. You even got Koga caring for his men at the end, by saving the potato chips for them. Two good episodes in a row.


...I'm guessing they were filler right?:sad:

THE SHOW THAT WATCHES BACK



I agree... still that FMA eppy last night was sad...
Nothing good on the viewer card front... i may need to double-check later...
Its so obvious that Harvey Birdman's Animation quality has changed in the past few years, from hand-drawn to flash/Aqua Teen-esque animation...

Hurray for BLEACH in the raitings top...

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Last night was the first time I saw those two Inuyasha episodes and I must say, I enjoyed them.

you to? :eek: except I saw them at the 5 a.m airings :sweat: but I thought the first one wasn't so great how many times does Kagome have to save Kikyo before it gets through Kikyo's thick head to why she does it :confused: the second one was really pretty funny and good :)

[Master Moltar]

Family Guy's domination over cable last week is incredible. One of the late night second showings cracked the Top 10? Wow.

[Classic Speedy]

"Shaggy Busted" has to be one of my favorite Birdman episodes of all time. Just wall-to-wall laughs from start to finish.

[Vyse]

"Shaggy Busted" has to be one of my favorite Birdman episodes of all time. Just wall-to-wall laughs from start to finish.
I agree. It also has one of my favorite quotes and all-time favorite scene:

Harvey: "Experience. It's what separates us from animals. Well, that and product placement."
[replaces the drink and several items with Tab and Tab-related signage]
[Harvey takes a sip from his Tab can]
[cues live-action Tab dream sequence]

I say that because my dad drinks Tab. A lot. Like it's water. :eek: :o

[Kitschensyngk]

Geez. Lucky for Alphonse he can't feel pain.

[Zach Logan]

Maybe Mayuri freaked too many people out. Still, see that AS, advertise & you shall be rewarded.

I've been saying that for years, nice to see it come to fruition.

[herbkir]

The ratings had a couple interesting tidbits.

1. While AS' 18-34 audience stayed flat, it gained 39,000 viewers 35-49. Looks like I'm not the only over-34 "old fart" who watches Adult Swim. Yes, senior power!!!

2. Adult Swim's audience is almost equal to CN's audience. If AS viewership exceeds the rest of CN, will that mean more clout with the Turner suits and more resources for acquisitions and original productions? (^_*)

[D Dubbs]

So they're still advertising Saturdays? Nice! Keep it up AS!

Also:
New downloads section. (http://www.adultswim.com/downloads/index.html) Don't think there's a lot of new stuff, but it looks neater...:sweat:
Many, many more Venture Bros. clips. (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?section=Comedy&collectionID=8a25c3920eaf5fa6010eafac52fc00ef) Still waiting for some action clips, though...

AS is having a ATHF marathon on Monday.

Guess they gave Sci-fi more viewers. :sweat:

Not necessarily. ATHF does extremely well on weekdays.

Damn...I would watch the marathon if it wasn't for Ani-Monday. What a shame...

Y Pollo Roboto nuevo ma&#241;ana, seg&#250;n la primera p&#225;gina de adultswim.com

Translation: And new Robot Chicken tomorrow, according to the front page of adultswim.com

[Rolling Cloud]

Not necessarily. ATHF does extremely well on weekdays.

Oh, it does? News to me, guess AS will get ratings for this week.

[Don_East]

HA HA HA!

First appearance! Amazing how he became the strongest asset.

EDIT- I forgot how weird of an ending that was.

[Vyse]

Ironic how I had potential jury duty the week Harvey Birdman gets stripped.

[Kitschensyngk]

NERV employee from End of Evangelion whose name I've forgotten: "Haven't they ever heard of moderation?"

[Space Cadet]

What was the reason why Harvey Birdman went away from CN Studios to Turner Studios?

Edit: Yourichi's human appearance is so awesome. It's also cool that's so fast. I wonder if she could beat The Flash in a race.

[Rolling Cloud]

I wonder what my parents would say about Yoruichi!

.........Nah, I probably don't wanna know! :sweat:

[Space Cadet]

It depends. Do you bring her with or without clothes?;)

[Don_East]

Well, if we're talking JL Animated Wally West Flash and if Yoruichi's naked. My money is on Yoruichi.

[Vyse]

What was the reason why Harvey Birdman went away from CN Studios to Turner Studios?


1. It's cheaper to do it in Flash than traditional animation.
2. It's a lot quicker to produce in Flash (Turner Studios) than do it the old-fashioned way (various animation studios including CNS). There was like a 10-month gap between the airing of "Very Personal Injury" and "Shaggy Busted," and another 10-month gap existed between "Dabba Don" and "Deadomutt".

[Kitschensyngk]

"They all stopped breathing, Inuyasha!"

"Apparently that girl died."

"That mutt couldn't protect her."

"Your friends never stood a chance."

Minutes later, the flea makes himself useful.

Main character immunity sure is convenient.

Me Niether


Yourichi's human appearance is so awesome. It's also cool that's so fast. I wonder if she could beat The Flash in a race.

The Flash would lose thanks to Yourichi's flash-step technichue.


It depends. Do you bring her with or without clothes?;)

i suggest bring her with clothes, you do the rest later...


Well, if we're talking JL Animated Wally West Flash and if Yoruichi's naked. My money is on Yoruichi.

Woooo! true that.

Unfortunately, it's the last episode for who knows how long. Guess I'll need to watch it on Video from now on.

Dear [adult swim],
About time you found a place for Lucy, Daughter of the Devil. I'd just about given up hope. Now how about Korgoth and Drinky Crow?

And, FYI, I've started collecting the Eureka Seven DVDs. I got tired of waiting for you to put it back on.

Love,
KITSCHENSYNGK
