Just thought you'd like to know your show has been placed in Cowboy Bebop's original timeslot, along with Rocky and Bullwinkle, and now has Adult Swim bumpers.

It still airs at 12:30 AM, which isn't great, but it's still a half hour earlier, and more people have been watching the midnight hour than the 1 am hour.

Hopefully they'll even air the new episodes that I think you mentioned you guys were working on (unless my memory sucks) at 12 AM. Maybe even give it more promos! As far as I know, it has no promotion right now, so that should be interesting.

Well, all right! Cartoon Network is finally making the connection that Classic Animation is for ADULTS - NOT little kids!

Since Adult Swim runs a DISCLAIMER, there's hope that we can start getting classic cartoons in BLACK & WHITE and UNCUT!

On this most bittersweet of weekends, that truly is a HAPPY thought!:)

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I thought it was a mistake until I saw a Popeye Adult Swim bumper sequence.

I'm going to write to Cartoon Network and ask them to keep doing that, please. Need more old animation.

I am thrilled to see R&B back, though I don't think it really fits in on AS. I hope that everyone here who complained about it leaving watches it now that it's back!

It's very interesting to see classic cartoons creeping into AS... :D I wouldn't mind seeing them make a "Classic AS" with all classic cartoons such as Bullwinkle, the Popeye Show, and some uncensored toons.

Good, but I'd rather see Warner Bros. cartoons on Adult Swim, since I don't really watch Popeye much. But CN's headed in the right direction.

I thought it was funny seeing a disclaimer before POPEYE (!!) saying how the following program would contain "coarse language", "sexual situations", etc.... :p

:eek:! The show started early actually, or I might've set my VCR wrong, since I missed the first four minutes of THE POPEYE SHOW.

Nope, you didn't set it wrong. I set mine last night and double-checked because of the time change and I missed the first few minutes too. It started early.

Good, I was pretty sure I set my timer. I'll start setting it about five minutes earlier.

It did start early. I missed the opening too.

Maybe we'll see cartoons like You're a Sap, Mr. Jap and Spinach fer Britain.
