>Comedy Central snatched Futurama, Cleveland Show, and King of the Hill reruns from them >FX Networks is taking Bob's Burgers and Family Guy
How long until Adult Swim folds? Like it or not, these shows were the tentpoles of the network that kept casual viewers watching even during the cord cutting dof the last 6-7 years. Rick and Morty and Eric Andre may be the biggest shows they've had in years, but they're only airing new episodes for a couple months every three years or so. Nothing else is really thriving there.
Can we make Toonami an everyday thing now and play it earlier? Adult Swim could start at like, 2:00AM, and play all the shit shows they have left.

>Can we make Toonami an everyday thing now and play it earlier? Toonami/ASA's ratings have always been substantially lower than the rest of Adult Swim, so that seems really unlikely to me.

>A night time block that was always running on low budget low effort cartoons long before they relied on Fox is suddenly going to die because the Fox reruns are gone
Thank god, now I won't have to wait till fucking midnight to watch the good shit anymore. If anything this'll force AS to look harder for more hows to produce and air to make up for open slots
Wyatt Sullivan
They'll make it start at 2:00 AM and try to start milking nostalgia Nickelodeon style by doing a "Cartoon Cartoons" block every night like The Splat.
Adam Gomez
Didn't they just launch a 24/7 channel in Canada?
Alexander Powell
Their best bet would be to move all of the animated projects from TBS over to their network. TBS and Adult Swim are owned by the same company, so it's possible. Final Space, Close Enough, and anything else that's in the pipeline.
Jose Sanders
Final Space is already on AS. AS is going to start getting first dibs on premieres too.
Though, Family Guy is going to create an existential disturbance. That has been their flagship for a decade and a half now. Without the ad money that brings, AS is pretty much fucked.
Hudson Gray
Maybe we can get a Renaissance to original programming. Another round of solid Materral like Early Season Tom Goes to the Mayor,Saul of the Mole Men.
A Harvey Birdman revival that Colbert doesn't fuck up with his obsessive politics.
And some not shit original content.

>>A night time block that was always running on low budget low effort cartoons long before they relied on Fox is suddenly going to die because the Fox reruns are gone For the first two years maybe, when the FOX stuff showed up in 2003, ratings went way up and steadily increased for over a decade.
