That's nice, I suppose, but how do you know it's the lowest rating in years? Even comapred to the others april fools?

Well, if nothing else this should convince AS that SJ is a ratings-grabber. If they hadn't pulled this, they could have used BS excuses like more viewers in the spring or something, but not now.

>unannounced premiere gets low ratings
WOWWWW

I think they weren't too concerned about ratings when they just reran it the whole night. Do you think they also had super high ratings when they did the fax machine bit?

OP, Adult Swim got four hours of 0.7-0.9 million viewers, that's probably better than two hours of 1.5 million viewers. Although I'm not a network exec so I can't say how much money either of those are worth.

Regardless, you should get on with your life and let it go.

Though it would've not made people hate RAM and actually promote the show better if it was them guest hosting the night making quips during commercials and bumpers.

>>91306317
>if Jack had gotten the ratings a loop of Rick & Morty got the first time around it never would have been cancelled

It was up against a final four game and NCAAB tourney games get crazy ratings

They didn't do it for the ratings, they did it to hype up Season 3.

I really hope this show does get 97 seasons just to shit on people like this.

>>91307078
No family guy reruns (which R&M replaced) get higher, so it was a net loss.

>>91307398
The nickname is hilarious though.

>>91306317

No joke, i still not sure how the higher-ups at [as] allowed it to happen. Wasting prime time for a unannounced show while they have one of the most popular shows recently for a april fools joke means a lot of lost money. Those kind of people arent supposed to have a sense of humor.

>>91307475
THAT part is funny for us SJ fans, though. It all depends on perspective!

>>91306429
This. I still think what they pulled was stupid though, even if it was an April Fool's prank. Broadcasting a new episode of a hit show unannounced on loop for 3 hours was plenty without overtaking the Jack spot.

>>91306317
But it was a surprise
Everyone who would have watched wasn't necessarily watching
Everyone who was watching wasn't necessarily a r&m fan

>>91307475
I think there was a miscommunication somewhere.
Demarco ended up admitting running R&M for 4 hours was a mistake after getting his ass blasted on Twitter.

>>91307664
>Demarco ended up admitting running R&M for 4 hours was a mistake
Is there a screencap or proof of this? I keep hearing that but I wanna see it for myself.

>>91307908
It's on his Twitter.

>>91307078
Nope. Family guy and co get much higher ratings than that.

They lost money.

>>91307927
...along with a ton of other shit Im not gonna sift through at this point.

>>91307908
I saw the tweet, he tacitly agreed with posters, but I didn't save it.

He was basically saying it wasn't his idea and he had no control, nor did he think it was smart.

I can't believe how rumproasted people are about this. I fucking love Samurai Jack, it's easily my favorite show on right now. I was upset when it didn't air, but I'm also not a fucking baby and can wait a whopping week to watch a new episode. Good lord.

It's a one week delay. For a holiday. They didn't cancel the show.

Nope. Normally they air repeats of Family Guy at those hours and they post higher numbers than Rick and Morty did.

Why should AS pay for more Rick episodes when ten year old Family Guy repeats make more money?

WUBBA-LUBBA-CANCELLED! I'M TINY RICK AND MY SHOW'S POPULARITY JUST WENT DOWN THE TOILET! MEMES MEMES MEMES MCNUGGET SAUCE!

>>91308244
Why would Jackfags be butthurt? We're getting a new episode on Saturday, Ricky and Memey won't have another new episode for probably another year, and thanks to the low ratings we now have proof that it was a fad show that no one wants to watch anymore.

They'd have to change the art style to do that. It's impossible for older audiences to take it serious when it looks like the same Dexter's Lab shit it's always been.

>>91306317
i like both shows but for the love of god just get over it.

What I dislike about R&M is the creator's obnoxious lack of a sincere & dedicated approach to the show. The creator's revel in their ironic detachment, exemplified most of all in their improv episodes. As if preemptively shielding themselves from criticism by releasing something deliberately half-assed. It is emblematic to me of the creator's lack of genuine insight or a lack of conviction in their own ability. Which would be understandable given the personalities behind the show itself.

Half-assing is only real philosophy of the creators. The show is conceived & shaped through a click-bait understanding of science, a lifetime of media addiction & the only partially digested nietzschean philosophy of the creators. It knowingly spouts the kind of lazy, autodidact, self-serving, personal philosophy of those weaned in the information-era: "Nothing really matters so do whatever you want."

It's a half-baked nihilism dressed up as cynical realism used to justify a shallow unexamined lifestyle of hedonistic "Dopamine is the greatest good". Ironically championed by those who consider themselves more knowledgeable than the rest of the world because they're armed with an internet connection and a wikipedia tab. It aims to make its audience feel smart & clever without making them think too hard. To validates the choices they've already made & reinforces their lifestyles. To makes them feel superior while downplaying their own shortcomings.

In other words. It's reddit.

>>91310608
No, rick and memey is.

>>91312061
sure anon
1.5 million people each week hate the artstyle and totally agree with you :^)

Is SJ going to air tonight /co/? Spoonfeed me pls

>>91312624
Just a rerun

>>91306317
Reddit & Memey has always sucked.

>>91307492
Why are SJ fans so insuffera-
Oh wait, this is /co/.

>>91310745
Why should they bother with SJ if 20 year old DBZ reruns make more money.

How can anyone seriously be defending [AS] right now? No matter which show you like, they still replaced one of their most popular shows with an unnanounced season premiere for another one of their most popular shows. For 4 hours straight. It wasn't even a funny joke.

>>91310850
Is R&S coming out this summer?

Besides, it was just an April Fool's prank; they weren't expecting high ratings.

>>91312243
This post is a bit histrionic but I agree with the core point that R&M is the fedora tippingest show there ever was.

>>91312780
They don't. SJ gets higher ratings than DBZ reruns or even new episodes of Super.

>>91312837
What if they aired The Room or Saved by the Bell the whole night?

>>91312503
I didn't say they hated, I said they don't take it seriously.

They probably completely write-off the night's profits since any kind of fucking around is a big risk
As pissed as I was that R&M took SJ's slot, an unannounced series premiere on a joke night isn't a great barometer of its popularity and profitability

I'm kind of pissed that I was too mad to watch the rick and morty episode last Saturday

>>91306317
It's so weird; a week before April people were chimping out over Ashi joining the cast and were calling Genndy a hack.

Now, people are riding the fuck out of Jack's dick.

>>91313080
Apparently, a leaked episode list showed Ashi joining up with Jack in his journey.
People started saying DROPPED, we waited 13 years for this!?, and Genndy=hack.

>>91313080
it's confirmed that ashi is tagging along with jack for at least a few episodes and maybe even through to the end and people are scared she's going to steal the spotlight

>>91313149
Well she is thicc

>AS deliberately fucks with people, they really don't give a shit
AS isn't your stoner friend anon. The nonchalant attitude the channel portrays is fabricated to draw in the loser college dropout crowd. At the end of the day, they're still a just company. And I assure you they care about money just as much as any other.

>>91306317
You know I used to like Rick and Morty, but lately I've just been getting tired of it and Justin Roiland (who I'm starting to believe is really overrated).
