>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.
Charles Bailey
>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.
Leo Bennett
>>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.
Jackson Gray
>TBS they should show Tarantula! and the huge ratings would get it picked up for another season!
Ian Lee
Lucky for us we still have American Dad!
Justin Ward
>Toonami/ASA's ratings have always been substantially lower than the rest of Adult Swim, so that seems really unlikely to me. Sticking Toonami into Saturday night was the stupidest idea they had since trying to do Rising Sun. The only worse timeslots I can think of would be Sunday morning. This is all made worse by surrounding it with Adult Swim BS.
Lucas Martinez
How about they actually fucking air some of their enormous back catalog of beloved old shows instead of appealing to the lowest common denominator with Sethshit?
I fucking hate what Splat/90's are All That did to TeenNick.
John Roberts
I'm actually rally interested in seeing what Adult Swim does. They're gonna have to get creative.
Henry Reyes
>this forces Lazzo to revive ATHF Please
Luis Gutierrez
More like this forces Lazzo to retire.
Justin Roberts
>How about they actually fucking air some of their enormous back catalog of beloved old shows Literally this. They built AS on reruns, yet scrapped it all except for FOX and Robot Chicken and maybe Aqua Teen ad nauseum several years back
Gavin Stewart
Even better. >inb4 we get another Christina Miller
Christopher Cook
The worst part of about king of the hill being removed is that CC puts it's on at 4am in the morning
Bentley Jenkins
>tfw it's always sunny was supposed to air reruns on adult swim but cc took the syndication cable rights before [as] could get them
Austin Rivera
and airs it in 47 minute segments of which nearly 20 minutes of it is just commercials
Ayden Hall
Really, though. You shouldn't watch Always Sunny on broadcast TV. I watched an episode while at my parents' house one day, and the censorship was atrocious.
Ian Fisher
That was probably local syndication. Cable is looser, though I think CC censors it to TV-14 standards in the day time hours.
Dylan Smith
You shouldn't watch it in Syndication. Watch it only if its late at night, since that's when the censorship happens less
Julian Hernandez
Just rerun Inuyasha, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, and Big O more.
