1. Whaaa?
When did they do that? It was Aqua Teen last night.

What they need is more Venture Bros, I declare!

8. Ah
it's not on for another 3 hours for me.

I don't mind. I've got the DVDs!

I can watch ATHF over and over...Birdman on the other hand...I can take each episode about once.

I can't wait for season two of Venture Bros, myself.

23. LOL
Yeah, it really threw me off. I think they were worried they wouldn't get renewed so they did the best ending ever.

Fave Ep: Ice Station Impossible or whatever. So funny.

I agree, way too much Anime.

5. I think some Anime is okay....
But I think they can do some cleaning and I wouldn't miss it if it went.

I actually enjoy birdman also.. but birdman should not.... NOT replace ATHF!!!! Not right.... not right.

11. yeah
it held out a little, at least with family guy and athf, but it's slowly gotten worse, as they keep trying "new" (read "shitty") shows. though, i will say, robot chicken's alright

10. I hate Cartoon Network..
All fucking anime, all the fucking time. I gave up on it years ago when Toonami took everything over.

13. Eh? Toonami only took over Saturday evening.
But yes, most of it does suck. I mean, cripes, how many times do I need to see Dragonball Z???!!! But Ghost in the Shell kicks major ass.

I'm really pissed about the Birdman thing. I mean for crying out loud, who the fuck likes Harvey Birdman?? :wtf:

24. So
you haven't seen the many superhero shows they have? Tonight, swear to God, it was "Krypto the Superpup!" I couldn't believe they made it into a cartoon! A cartoon which also featured "Bathound."

:wtf:

14. They can get rid of the anime
But they must keep Full Metal and Ghost in the Shell. Those are the only two I really watch. That and Inu Yasha.

16. I for one like Harvey Birdman, BUT
It's certainly not as good as ATHF.

May I remind you that ATHF was removed from the nightly lineup about 9 months ago, as they were preparing for a new season. This isn't the first time it has happened, and probably won't be the last.

The previous incident lasted about half a year, having Sealab 2021 replacing ATHF.

20. Boy, I don't know about Adult Swim.
They seem to change things every couple of months just for the hell of it. I guess they want to keep it fresh, but yeesh. TV viewers are creatures of habit. Plus, they've canceled Brak and Sealab, and for what? Tom Goes to the Mayor is like a painful stab in the gut. In fact, the only somewhat decent new show they've put out lately is Robot Chicken, and it's not really made for repeat viewing. I'm a fan of Harvey Birdman, but it works best once a week. Aqua Teen is their cash cow, and it should be on every night as far as I'm concerned.

I also agree that there's way too much anime. That should be reserved for a seperate programming block.

27. it was at first
in the beginning A.S. was a 1 1/2 hour line up of shows 1and a half hours of anime 1 hour of american, YuYu Hakusho, The candidate for Goddess and Gundam for the anime, sealab/brak athf and 30 min of SGC2C sunday at an hour to where it would be irresponsible to allow a child watch TV, later they broke it to thursday would be anime/action and they picked up a second gundam series (thier all quite good) and Outlaw star and on sunday woulod be comedy, adult swim just got popular and CN allocated it more timeslots, i WISH they would go back to the original format, i liked it that way, i liked the bumps they had, too, but replace candidate for goddess (crap anime) with a rotation of FLCL ALL gundam series' Full metal, Big O can go, Picked up Catgirl Nuku, and they have allready said they can't do any of rumiko takahashi's seriess, but Ranma 1/2 or Urusei yatsura would be good

25. Adult Swim keeps that horrible Tom Goes To The Mayor on the air.
Those creators must seriously have political connections. Otherwise the pilot would've been cancelled.

30. I've Seen Every ATHF Ep So Many Times I Can Do The Dialog in My Sleep
Giving it a break every now and then isn't such a bad thing. Stephen Colbert does v/o for Birdman, and I can use more Colbert in my evenings.

Now, if they want to burn every ep of "Big bOre" into a stinking pile of ash, that'd be okay. "Cowboy Bebop" was not the best piece of animation ever done - no need to keep that running every fucking weekend as some sort of digital shrine (yes, I know there's a new one coming out, yawn). "Tom Goes To The Mayor" tries awfully hard, but watching it more than once without pay is not something I'm willing to do.

Now if they'd just get the last batch of inu Yasha eps translated...

32. Harvey Birdman is the only show I like on Adult Swim
I HATE Aqua teens. They are stupid and annoying to watch. I don't see why people find it amusing to watch a meatball, a box of fries and a dirty bald guy do nothing.
