The shift when it went from putting good shows on to 'creating content'. Adult swim used to have the best fucking anime and pick up good cartoons that were interesting like home movies.

Now everyone is lazy and they do 'alternative' live comedy shows where the joke is always the same hackneyed bit.

TBS stopped letting late nights run wild with bullshit and introduced the seth mcfarlane power block. 4 unbroken hours of mcfarlane masterpieces.

a lot of sam hyde's fans dislike tim and eric because iirc tim helped to get MDE cancelled

even if sam was politically correct mde wouldn't have lasted that long anyway, the humor in a lot of the episodes wasn't that good or original, 90% of the time live action shows on adult swim fail
>>
>>85691250
>retarded decisions
Like cancelling Metalocalypse. Fuck, Smalls got so desperate to continue that he offered to secure independent funding for the next season. Free money for Adult Swim. They still said no, and keep in mind this was a show bringing in ratings and making money for them when they were paying for it to be made. It's insanity.
>>
Tim and Eric was alright, SOMETIMES. MDE's show was great. Then they cancelled it. All this network does now is mooch off edgy teenagers and "cute" girls who "like" anime.

Yeah, but it was balanced out by some skits not even trying to be funny. This skit is still kino.

Less involvement from Lazzo.
Mediocre live action stuff instead of cartoons.

Toonami isn't something that should exist in the current decade. I know they aren't making it for the /a/ neets that exclusively used subbed torrents but it's still a waste to watched dubbed anime years after its subbed debut with commercials

Adult Swim is cool because its sort of low-fi but at the same time their unwillingness to evolve squanders a lot of potential.
They need to make more online content and really push the Adult Swim app as a way to see content sooner with ads. Their shows are great for mobile because the art usually isn't the main draw and the episodes are short. Then you have the bumps they do before and after commercials which could be made a little longer and uploaded individually on the app. Stuff like Fish Center, Robot Chicken, and Off the Air are basically perfect for the format. Rick and Morty puts out really short videos all the time and they also did the long courtscene video before. AS should be hiring indie animators and even old Youtube animators like Harry Partridge or Oney to make shorts for the apps. They ought to buy Newgrounds honestly and use it to create an online animators and animation fans' social media platform that integrates into their app and online presence.
12 Oz. Mouse is a show that I could see getting a big second wave of fans if the app ever took off in a big way. The shows to be just the right blend of interesting and immaterial that would justify watching it on a phone. I don't think anybody wants to watch films or other television on their phones because they know the smaller screen will ruin it.

Literally T&E. Wow, no budget live action weird comedy, so funny. Better churn out 1000 other shows like this, smoke weed to get it lol. The only patrician live action show was Eagleheart.

>Lost Futurama
>Show way too Family Guy and its offshoots
>Shifting away from the Williams Street stuff
>Shuffle anime away to Saturday night when nobody's watching, and don't even run the block twice for people who missed it the first time around, because that wastes precious airtime for Seth Macfarlane reruns
>Focusing way too much on "lol so randumb" live action shit, because it's fast, cheap, and easy, shitting all over what made [as] interesting int he first place (an animation channel for adults)

At least I can still watch the old bumps on youtube.

>wasn't anti-humor 'humor'

It kind of was, though. I went to the AS panel at SDCC the year they premiered TGGTM, before anyone knew who Tim and Eric were (they didn't really hit big until Awesome Show), and the reaction from the audience was crickets. That was during the golden era when ATHF still ruled the roost.

How has this abortion not been mentioned yet? I don't really watch T.V. nowadays but I remember seeing a commercial for this at work and being completely astounded that it's an actual show.

Aqua Teen is one of my favorite comedies of the last 20 years, and even I'll admit that it was starting to run out of steam in the last couple of seasons.

Yes yes it was sams fault totally not the nu males at adult swim complaining about online boogie men.
>>
>>85700947
Because that's not a turning point for the worse, that's just another link in the chain of shit. For me, Tom Goes to the Mayor was probably the beginning of the end, because it was when Tim and Eric managed to elbow their way onto adult swim, and used that "animated" show as a trojan horse to eventually cause the switch to live action.

Mike Lazzo has really been pissing me off in the last couple of years for letting all this happen.

>Bad original programming such as mr.pickles for example
>almost All live action shows were bad - unfunny.
>Littered with unfunny seth mcfarlane shows. One per night wouldn't have been bad, but it's like 6 episodes per night sometimes more
>They became to politicized, one of their best live action shows ever (MDE) gets canned for no good reason. Mostly because of office celebrity personas.

Let me list a few things they do right

>Toonami. Recently they've been good with it, investing in new animation and extending its time slot. The shows are good.
>Rick and morty is good
>>
>>85699149
He literally told his fans to call AS and get it canned. This is literally on record.
>>
>>85689626
Aqua Teen ended up going full retard and everything else went down with it. Its a shame because its one of my favorite shows of all time.

Rick and Morty is the only thing worth watching now but you'll be called a normie for admitting that on here.

the one show pretty much everyone liked but didnt espouse enough jewish propaganda so they killed it...

Because every fucking show on as that comes on past family guy is experiemental, be as whacky and as poorly animated as possible comedy. Rick and Morty is the best show to come out of as since Metalocalyspe and R&M has been shit since S2E2
>>
>>85701155
>Toonami
I don't know man. I think Toonami should have just stayed dead. It was great for its time but sitting through commercials to watch dubbed eps when they've already been available for years seems pretty stupid.
>Rick and Morty
Not as bad as people here make it out to be but it's not as brilliant as its viewers would like you to believe.

>>85694595
I mean, they are doing the youtube animators making shorts thing. David O'Reilly, sick animation, and Bryan Wysol all did a few bumpers and shorts for the channel. Also they hired people like alan resnick, who did alantutorial, and the dudes behind paperrad. I do think their current programming is pretty bland and they should feature more indie animators and should fuck off with the reruns. Also a season 2 of mde world peace would be nice
>>
>>85700963
liberals are not left
>>85701205
in the same sentence he told fans of the show to support it

you can blame the dumb buzzfeed writer who made an article about it, you can even blame brett gelman, or you can blame sam for posting edgy shit on twitter
tim had nothing to do with though
but mde fans already hated him long time before it got cancelled, its not surprising that they blame it on him
>>
Their best show takes three years to release a season
>>
>>85703589
New season q3 next year
>>
They only have 4 currently running shows that's worth watching: Mike Tyson Mysteries, Rick and Morty, Squidbillies, and Venture Bros
>>
>>85699149
As a mde fan, I agree with this. Don't get me wrong: I think Tim definitely had input into the decision. But ultimately, Sam brought upon mde's own downfall. It wasn't even that he supported Trump; it was the never-ending over-zealous right-wing twitter nonsense he put up around the clock. I lean right and voted Trump so it's not my disagreement with him politically. But he should have known better that espousing that inflammatory nonsense (the trolling) 24/7 was going to piss off enough people for mde to lose their show.

He could have kept his mouth shut, or even stayed low-key for ~6-10 months and their would have been a guaranteed renewal (viewership ratings, support from Lazzo). But he couldn't shut the fuck up and have a tad bit of professional decorum.

He should have known better.
