Your thoughts on Adult Swim

All in all, good guys who've done good work.

Truly, they were an Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I still miss just being able to turn on CN and watch Tom and Jerry all night instead of that stoner garbage.

>>90338604
Metalocalypse was pretty good

Lost all respect for them after cancelling World Peace for purely (non-)political reasons

>>90338561
It needs to start earlier and they need to stop playing the fucking Cleaveland show and Family Guy. American dad is enough

>>90338856
The people up at Time Warner cancelled the show, not Adult Swim. Adult Swim wanted more seasons but Time Warner got cold feet because of the political climate. So they pulled it. Even Sam Hyde has stated before that Adult Swim didn't cancel his show. Jesus, you MDE faggots can't their facts straight.

>>90338561
They saved Samurai Jack and I really appreciate that.

>>90338561
They've made some terrible shows and choices from time to time, especially in the last couple of years. However the good that they have done outweighs the bad. The have made some exceptional and experimental programing that would had never existed in any other network and shows like Moral Orel and The Venture Bros rank as some of the greatest animated series ever made in my opinion.

Adult Swim is already going the way of MTV except without the iconic footprint on youth culture

Are they still high on live shit?

I haven't watched Adult Swim since 2012, when they were high on that Children's Hospital show and Eagleheart and Tim and Eric. Hated that shit.

>>90338651
I can't find a torrent for this anywhere. I only got to watch a few episodes before it went away forever.

>>90339202
It's not even close to being as bad as MTV in its current state and lot of their early 2000's programing is very iconic for the group of people who grew up in that era.

I appreciate the experimental stuff they've done with animated shows that most networks probably wouldn't have been able to (until Netflix came along [as] was the only place I can imagine seeing shows like Moral Orel, Metalocalypse, etc. outside of maybe comedy central). Still its gotten a bit shit

I respect them for being so open to experimentation, which, while sometimes having mixed results, has broken a lot of barriers in animation.

>>90338561
better than CN currently

>>90339247
The whole series is on Piratebay with a healthy amount of seeds. I actually downloaded the whole thing the other day.

Adult Swim fails more often than it succeeds. However, when they succeed they do well but seemingly manage to shoot themselves in the foot at some point.

When new content isn't being aired they run what they have into the ground but I can't fully blame them for that.

When animation started taking a backseat I started losing interest but they've done more than most networks.

I WISH THIS SHIT EXISTED ON MY COUNTRY

>NO [AS]
>NO TOONAMI

South America got the short end of the stick, here on Brazil the dubs were amazing. Hell, some even better than the original.

I dunno what they are going to do with Samurai Jack new season, there is no way that they wont show it.

On the good side, the schedules arent so fucked up.

>>90339323
Really? I must have looked at a fucked time or something.

Thanks anon. I really appreciate it.

>>90339271
That's why I said "going the way of". In 5 years from now or less you're going to wonder how ANYONE watches [as] anymore.

The whole underground & experimental atmosphere they cultivated has long been replaced with a sleek corporate outlook that will, like MTV in their chase to pander to their bread & butter demographic, will end up losing it.

>>90339347
Adult Swim still exists in South America. It's in a shitty obscure channel, though.

>>90339347
Give me a fucking break South America. You don't even know how it is in Eastern Europe.

>>90338888
EARLIER?

It already took CN's primetime slot!

>>90339463
Alright I see what you mean. Some of their more popular stuff right now like The Eric Andre Show and Rick and Morty still has some of the aspects that I loved from Adult Swim since it's incarnation but they seriously need to stop with the 4 to 5 hours of Fox show reruns. Before it was only an hour to an hour and a half tops. Now I have to wait several hours to actually watch some Adult Swim originals and when they do air some their originals, a lot of the time is only their super popular shows like Aqua Teen and Robot Chicken.

Moral Orel is easily among the top 3 best

What's their best program?

>>90339824
maybe it can take all of cn

>>90340610
Current or all-time?

I would pay money- actual factual dollar bills- for a service that just streamed Adult Swim shows interspersed with the bumps.

>>90338561
They play the reruns of Supermansion, so that's pretty awesome. Not sure if I would have bothered to find out about it otherwise.

>>90339233
Tim and Eric is probably the only live action original program that eventually grew on me. Even then, I wouldn't say that it is a good show, just something that became a guilty pleasure.
But you're right, those were shit-tier shows.

>>90340878
Not ALL of the live action shows were bad.

Wait, shit, Darkplace and Mighty Boosh were UK shows they bought the rights to, nevermind.

>>90340610
Samurai Jack

Would it kill them to throw some more money to Jackson Publick so that they could maybe release a season of The Venture Bros in less than a fucking decade?!
Also, Titan Maximum was a surprisingly decent show that they just let go forgotten.

>>90341016
titan maximum was ass. epitome of crass adolescent humor

>>90340786
All time

>>90341016
Venture Bros is something Jackson want's to take his time on so it's good
It's a love project

>>90341016
Honestly even if they doubled the budget I don't know that it would change much, since they seem dead-set on doing so much of it themselves.

>>90340610
Moral Orel and The Venture Bros will always be their best. From a writting and quality stand point none of their other shows come close to those two.

>>90340815
I would fucking love that.

Shit most of the time but shows like Venture Bros,Black Dynamite,Rick and Morty ,Moral Oral make you keep watching.

>>90341223
Seriously, I would pay 10 bucks a month to just have a constant stream of Futurama/Moral Orel/old Family Guy/King of the Hill/ATHF/Squidbillies/etc with "All Times and Music Eastern" thrown in for grins between shows

>>90338604
I feel ya, anon. Hell, does Boomerang even show cartoons made before 1990 anymore? Last I checked they play fucking Dexter's Lab.

>>90338604
Anyone else go to sleep after watching an episode of Sealab 2021, and then wake up and see Sealab 2020 on TV and wonder what the hell's going on?

>>90338601
That's actually one of the funniest lines from the show. It's a shame it was used on a mediocre episode.

>>90341846
I still have to get around to watching most of that. Definitely one of the better live action shows of the past 7 years.

>>90340513
>Aqua Teen Hunger Force is officially dead.

Fuck. That was literally my favorite show and I've seen nothing to fill the void. Why did it have to die?

>>90338561
A former shell of itself that has slowly engulfed the primetime slot for no legitimate reason

>>90339347
[as] started showing up on iSat but they only show Rick and Morty or the Boondocks.

>>90341506
Last I checked, they were playing Teen Titans GO!

>>90339347

Simpsons is still airing and so is South Park. ATHF was the same for AS. Just because it airs for a long time, doesn't mean it needs to be killed you dumb faggot. If it's still doing well and making money, there's no reason to kill it off. The new director is just a big faggot about it because he wanted "a new direction" which apparently means he wants to display reruns of all Fox's stuff.

>>90344526
South Park has the benefit of a fast turnaround letting every episode be very topical, and most everyone agrees that Simpsons needed to die years ago.

I'd rather have something die with dignity after 15 seasons than have an additional 15 seasons of trash.

>>90338561
Great fun during it's early run to 05.

Nowadays rarely watch it anymore

>>90338856
Be honest was it even all that funny? Even the adult swim reddit complains about this show so I really am curious.

I'm more of a fan of their streaming shows and their classic shows than what they air on TV now.

Never before has anyone succeeded or failed as hard or as often in the world of animation.

>>90341052
Well, that's one opinion.

>>90347037
No, not really. Doesn't help that Sam Hyde looks and acts like an even more uncharismatic Doug Walker, so I couldn't help but look at him as a lamer Nostalgia Critic.

>>90340585
In my opinion, Aqua Teen and Venture bros.

I have a soft spot for Superjail but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the best they've made.

>>90347037
Yes

>>90344552
It's making fun of those times in movies where they clumsily try to force in the title of the movie in a line of dialogue to try and sound meaningful.

>>90347667
I figured. I just think people want it back to prove a statement.

>>90338561
Their run from 2001 to around 2008 was pretty fucking great. After that was when they Mike Laszlo started to lose his fucking mind and started making bad decision after bad decision.

Used to be open to shows with really good ideas, but now Family Guy and uninspired stoner humor are their bread and butter. But with that being said, I'll be reluctantly be watching Samurai Jack when it airs. But that's the last time I'll be watching anything on Adult Swim.

I agree with this.

Though i'd say writing wise, Xavier is really high up there because the wordplay and shit in that show was amazing.

>>90347154 here. By streaming shows, I mean shows like Bloodfeast and FishCenter Live.

>>90347966
I wouldn't put it next to the definitive best shows from the network but I would put Superjail in their top 10 for sure.

>>90338561
i'd love to have another season of spaceghost or harvey birdman, both should have plenty of new material now.

Glad I'm not the only person around who has a fondness for Xavier: Renegade Angel. That had some of the most brilliant dialogue I've seen come out of an animate show.

>>90352351
I thought the show was too weird when it first came out. A few years later and me getting older and now I realize how fucking good that show was.

>>90349993

All those puns man. It was like watching the lovechild of Shakespeare and Joyce.

>Xavier [to Xavier]:If you love soup so much, why don't you marry soup?

>Xavier [to Xavier]:Yeah. Only a blind girl would marry you.

Honestly, shows like it bothered me until I started smoking weed. Suddenly lots of things stopped pissing me off and I could begin enjoying things.
Not to sound like some kind of loser stoner, but it's nice not being the douchebag who tells his friends why everything sucks.

I was wondering why Adult Swim doesn't take this opportunity to pick up the license to produce new Futurama episodes. Matt Groening has said he would like to continue the series after its Comedy Central run, he just needs a network to pick it up. Otherwise, we could be looking at some more straight-to-DVD stuff in the future.

>>90353817
I don't think they have the money for that.

>>90344380
Or Sealab

First time i've seen anyone else here say they liked the show. I thought it was pretty good myself. I still remember that fucking werewolf episode crystal clearly.

>>90340513
>but they seriously need to stop with the 4 to 5 hours of Fox show reruns

I'm purely speculating here, but I think maybe airing safe stuff like this ensures they have the funding to air the weirder and more experimental stuff.

>>90340910
If you don't like The Eric Andre Show you might have shit taste.

And have you seen Delocated? I definitely prefer their animated content, but they've definitely put out some good LA material.

Not going to lie. When I was a kid most of Adult Swim put me off because of how poorly animated most of it was.
I didn't give those shows a chance because I was huge on animation quality.
I pretty much only watched Adult Swim for its selection of anime.

>>90338561
I don't think it exists in Australia

>>90344526
Both of those are shit now. I'd rather ATHF die too soon than live long enough to turn to utter trash.

>>90352519
Thats Adult Swim and animation in general for me. I watch when I'm young and actually appreciate it when I'm older.

>>90353817
>new Futurama episodes

Hell no. The CC episodes were bad enough.

Steady decline in quality since its inception. How they managed to do worse than Inuyasha is improbable.

>>90338561
Pretty shit in general, desu. This was better at night.

>tfw you will never have a TV station that deals with geek stuff and is good.

>>90355500

There's a shitty version on 9Go Saturday & Sunday nights

ATHF, Mike Tyson Mysteries and Venture Bros.

>>90355606
Just like there used to be a shitty version on Comedy Central which was literally just ATHF and Robot Chicken. That's it. We don't have Toonami, do we? You think we would have this shit what with Madman and all that.

>>90347037
I only liked MDE because I live in Massachusetts and Sam Hyde is a walking stereotype for Fall River, Massachusetts. Lots of the skits aren't funny to me at a base level, but remembering that it's being masterminded by some fucking bozo from Fall River makes it really, really funny.

>>90354126
Who was this show made for? It's nigh unwatchable.

>>90355500
Madmen or whatever licensed nearly every [as] show for DVD, so you're fine.


You niggas also have the only box set for Moral Orel

>>90355470
why the fuck did delocated get so many seasons why is your pretty face is going to hell still airing who watches that garbage

Main reason I can't get into AS's live-action shows is because too many of them try to pull the "intentionally make a shitty video" schtick, like how Tim & Eric's meant to parody shitty local access shows. The problem is, shitty local access shows are already funny by themselves. Watching a shitty video where makers did out of sincerity is different from watching a shitty video where the makers did it just to take the piss. That's why I prefer things like Everything Is Terrible, because all of those videos come out of someone's insane but genuine sincerity, something that comedians just can't replicate.

Positive outlook: They have made some good television and are still one of the more outstanding networks.

Sad Truth: They're on the down-swing.

I'm not just spitting bullshit either, many of the current higher-ups are complete jackasses.
