[AS] is getting... dull?

Linkisdoomed · 10-18-2005, 06:00 AM

If you'll take a moment with me and try to follow this as best you can, Adult Swim just seems to be more boring. I remember when there was Home Movies and The Brak Show, Space Ghost, etc... Those were actually comidical, but now the Squidbillies have pretty much killed it as well as a few other things. Don't get me wrong, the bumps are a nice touch. as well as All Anime Saturday.

Tell me what you think. Do you think it's just getting boring, or is it getting better?

Does it still have paranoia agent and family guy?
That makes it all better.

**lightdarkness** · 10-18-2005, 10:40 AM

Come on, Robot chicken, family guy, futurama, american dad

It's perfect thx

**Tasselfoot** · 10-18-2005, 10:46 AM

How does a show like American Dad... that has like 10 episodes to its entire series.... air in syndication? Explain that to me.

Because AS gets better raitings for shows like Family Guy and American Dad than Fox does.

Them bringing back family guy also had a huge deal to do with AS.

The old Thursday lineup.

FG AD RC. Can't beat that, hands down.

NuclearShadow · 10-18-2005, 06:10 PM

The fact that AS has American Dad makes it suck quite a bit since that show is so retarded. Also, if AS plays the new Family Guy episodes then it definitely sucks now.

P.S.-Didn't they stop making Futurama episodes a long time ago?

Futurama production died like 3 days into it. Your post confuses me beyond belief, how does AS airing American Dad and Family Guy suck?

Because those shows suck. Really. The new season of Family Guy and American Dad blows.

Futurama was a good show though.

Guys, Adult Swim is old news. Seriously, I was watching this back in junior high. YES, JUNIOR HIGH.

It could have the absolute best programming (it's not too far from it) and it would still be kinda lame by now. Although, I gotta admit, Robot Chicken and Family Guy is a nearly unbeatable combination. It's too bad I need sleep more than funny TV shows.

**Moogy** · 10-18-2005, 08:58 PM

Nah, AS is cooler now than ever before, simply because of the random anime it shows. sCRYed is really entertaining at 3 AM because it's so campy. Along with the other junk. Splice in a random American show or two late at night, and you're golden.

ImEric12 · 10-18-2005, 09:35 PM

Robot Chicken is absolutely and unbeatably amazing.

I wish I could find a good torrent of it =\

Eyoshi · 10-18-2005, 09:36 PM

I like the AS lineup. It's got a nice combination of anime and comedy shows.
American Dad is actually pretty funny. though Family Guy is still the better show.

But, I didn't like Squidbillies. Couldn't AS get something funnier? =/

Their shows are limited budged. Hell, just look at that pile of crap show that looks like a four year old drew it. I only saw the commercials and they made me slit my wrists after the second time. It's that annoying.

Benny1 · 10-20-2005, 06:58 AM

Afrobean, EVERYONE was watching adult swim in junior high.
I love the shows that are on adult swim right now, although I rarely can stay up to watch it, it is great and it would be worth it.

MalReynolds · 10-20-2005, 07:12 AM

So... Squidbillies is actually coming on now? Cause they did a show called Perfect Hair Forever instead of playing the premiere of Squibillies last time. And then they had Space Ghost interview them. It was quite funn, but Perfect Hair Forever was the tops.

Yea:
Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, VENTURE BROS (best show on [as] how has no one mentioned this), Home Movies (just started watching it so it's new to me), Harvey Birdman occasionally, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO, FLCL, Bebop (oldie but goodie), LUPIN THE 3RD

Meh: Aqua Teen, Robot Chicken

Nay:
Tom Goes, Sealab, others I'm sure I'm forgetting

Tasuke · 10-21-2005, 06:46 PM

Sealab is definately one of the best shows on Adult Swim.
Original Adult Swim was, home movies and sealab, and all those other shows, that were'nt anime.
And then they had late saturday night anime, and it didn't have a name.
