Will Saturdays continue to get promoted? Will Bleach get above 500,000 viewers again? Will Home Movies get good ratings on Saturday?

Will Mugen ever stop asking questions? :p

Anyway, now it's pretty doubtful that Blood+ will get a promo for weeknights. Only two more weeks before Bleach takes the 12:30 slot again.

[Space Cadet]

Will Mugen ever stop asking questions? :p



If one doesn't ask questions, how can people learn and make discoveries?;)

[bigdeath]

If one doesn't ask questions, how can people learn and make discoveries?;)

Thats assumes that people are even capable of learning. :p

[Rabi~en~Rose]

bebop is back and what a great bump! I think I even saw Reign the Conquerer in there :eek:

[Space Cadet]

bebop is back and what a great bump! I think I even saw Reign the Conquerer in there :eek:

What bump was this?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

What bump was this?

they start with something like "a classic is coming back" then flash through a whole bunch of those old black and white anime cards until they get to Bebop :)

[D Dubbs]

Apparently episode two of the 2nd season of Metalocalypse is so metal, it can only be aired once.

[Master Moltar]

Old-school Bebop promos returning!

By the way, in the "This Saturday" bump, was that Blood+ clip from the next opening?

[Kitschensyngk]

Old-school Bebop promos returning!

By the way, in the "This Saturday" bump, was that Blood+ clip from the next opening?

It did say "NEW FANCY OPEN" above the clip.

Hopefully this means the return of the 60-second promo narrated by John Billingslea. That one's my favorite.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

IGNORE ME but not the ratings


Saturday, September 1st


Futurama: 738,000
Blood+: 399,000
Bleach: 378,000

the marathon must have reminded people futurama is on saturday :confused:


New: All

[Master Moltar]

I only saw it for a second, so I didn't see the new fancy opening line.

And WOW at those Futurama numbers. The marathon viewers actually spilled over to the next week. Too bad Bleach and Blood+ suffered though. Speaking of them, Blood+ over Bleach is interesting.

[D Dubbs]

Blood+ higher than Bleach? That's pretty cool.

Yeah...Futurama...wow. And Home Movies didn't make the Top 3 even though it was right after it? Bizarre.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, September 2nd


Family Guy: 1,257,000
Chicken: 944,000
Futurama (10:30): 886,000

yay! :)


Up: Futurama (10:30), Family Guy
Down: Chicken (x2)

[Master Moltar]

Same old dominance from Sunday

[Master Moron]

IGNORE ME but not the ratings


Saturday, September 1st


Futurama: 738,000
Blood+: 399,000
Bleach: 378,000

the marathon must have reminded people futurama is on saturday :confused:


New: All

Wow, Futurama got over 300,000 more viewers than any of the anime. This is why Adult Swim added more comedy to the lineup. I mean, the anime didn't even crack 400,000. That's pathetic. Of course, Home Movies did even worse. I guess we really can't blame Bleach for losing 300,000 viewers when Home Movies was the show that lost them. I still don't know what the hell they were thinking by putting Home Movies on Saturdays.

[Beat]

Home Movies has about as much ratings appeal as Britney Spears at the VMA's [/rimshot].

Doubling up Futurama before its last bow doesn't seem like a bad idea now.

[Space Cadet]

Old-school Bebop promos returning!



Which one did they air?

[Master Moltar]

Which one did they air?

It was a bump stating they would do so.

[D Dubbs]

And two more shows get clipped!

Lucy, Daughter of the Devil (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?section=Comedy&collectionID=8a25c3920f05f16b010f069371f52339)

Squidbillies (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?section=Comedy&collectionID=8a25c3920eec2495010eed62293217c8)

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Yes it would seem Home Movies effectively killed the steam Bleach had going. At least it's still over 300k. Time to move it. Time to move it NOW.

[TheFZAtUGSOnline]

Not Based On the Novel by James Fenimore Cooper




So, Futurama saturdays once again dominate the raitings, could this be a sign?

[Beat]

All I know is that the ratings for this Saturday can't be much better with the 4.7 Spike TV scored.

[btv]

All I know is that the ratings for this Saturday can't be much better with the 4.7 Spike TV scored.

Yep, that's pretty impressive. I'll say every show will land around 3,000 for this week.

[Space Cadet]

All I know is that the ratings for this Saturday can't be much better with the 4.7 Spike TV scored.

What was it that got the rating?

[Beat]

What was it that got the rating?

UFC 75, which ran from 9 to a little past midnight.

[blitzkrieg]

Yes it would seem Home Movies effectively killed the steam Bleach had going. At least it's still over 300k. Time to move it. Time to move it NOW.

But everyone said that Bleach ratings were self contained and that the strength of the lead in didn't matter :p

[Master Moltar]

I wouldn't put all the blame on Home Movies. No show would have been able to hold on to a good percentage of the Futurama audience.

Yeah, Bleach would have done better if it directly followed Futurama, but I doubt the difference would have been anything substantial.

[J'onn J'onzz]

Maybe they should just move all their shows after Futurama back a half hour and have something like this if they're so concerned about ratings:

11:00 Futurama
11:30 Bleach
12:00 Blood+
12:30 GitS
1:00 Trinity Blood
1:30 Voltron
2:00 Astro Boy

[D Dubbs]

Viva Caligula! (http://www.adultswim.com/games/vivacaligula/index.html)

Extra points for using the microphone. :anime:

Well, back when new episodes of Full Metal Alchemist aired after Futurama, they were pretty damn high. But, that was a couple of years ago.

[Master Moltar]

Yeah, ever since the big anime premieres shifted to 12 AM hour, they've been the strongest slots for anime. 11:30 doesn't do too badly though, as we saw with TB.

Thing is, the 12 AM hour is more consistent than 11:30, which tends to spike or fall a lot.

[Kitschensyngk]

Of course Kikyo's still alive. Comic book rules dictate: no body, no death.

Next week on Dr. Phil: My Boyfriend is a Two-Timing Half-Demon Necrophiliac.

Introducing Kikyo 3.0! Twice as melancholic, twice as useless.

[livingfruitvirus]

All I know is that the ratings for this Saturday can't be much better with the 4.7 Spike TV scored.

Screw Spike. What about the fact that the MTV VMAs took home just under 4 million 18-34 viewers this past Sunday evening?

[Master Moltar]

Plus it pushed MTV above AS for the week in 18-34 to take #1. That's the first time AS hasn't been #1 in that demo since early 2007, before Nielson adjusted their system to include college students.

[TheFZAtUGSOnline]

Fry's mohawk looks nice...

[TnAdct1]

26 minutes until Starboy. :D

[TheFZAtUGSOnline]

Fry and Bender, the new odd couple...

[D Dubbs]

Hmm, I wonder if I should watch Home Movie tonight. There are only two episodes left before Boondocks replaces it, so I don't think it's worth it, especially since it doesn't seem like this conflict between Brandon and his dad will come to an end anytime soon.

Whoa, really? Man, I bet that pissed adult swim off, finally losing that slot, if only for a week.
Edit: I'll be watching Home Movies tonight. I hear it's one of the best episodes of the series, even if it doesn't advance the Dad plot any.
Edit 2: Actually, I'm pretty tired, so I've set it to record. But still, I'll watch it. Just not tonight. >_>

[TnAdct1]

Considering how tonight's episode is the legendary "Starboy" episode, tonight's Home Movies is a "must watch" IMO.

[D Dubbs]

Fine, you guys have convinced me. :sweat:

EDIT: Wow, this episode actually feels like it fits in on ASA.

[Don_East]

Nice remake of the Bebop promo.

[Captain Highwind]

zomg An old Cowboy Bebop commercial!

[Don_East]

zomg A old Cowboy Bebop commercial!Well somewhat, the title card was altered and added a "[adult swim]" at the very end.

[Kitschensyngk]

I don't know what's weirder: Motoko standing half-naked in front of the kid, or his not noticing.

[Rolling Cloud]

Motoko, go do that with Batou, you know he likes you so much! D=

[J'onn J'onzz]

That Bebop promo is just so awesome.

And McGurk was hilarious as usual last night on Home Movies. Brendon imitating Nixon delivering the "Gettysburg address" was great.

[Space Cadet]

I don't know what's weirder: Motoko standing half-naked in front of the kid, or his not noticing.

That and the kid not wanting to find out if the Major can have sex or not.:p

[bigdeath]

I know, I mean come one, thats every teen boys dream. I wish a hot older women offered herself when I was, what was he, 12??!! :evil:

I don't know, I can't imagine that cyborg body would feel very natural...
