    So how about that Adult Swim...

    I was watching it recently... haven't watched it much over the summer... but one thing came to mind.

    Sell outs.

    Anyone else feeling this? Adult Swim's quicky humor seems to have been replaced by subtle ads about music, movies, ect ect.

    I can't stand their latest stuff (12 Oz Mouse, Minoriteam and Squidbillies) and I'd wish Tom Goes... would die in a fire (you can only push a gay joke so far), but Venture Bros. season two has rocked, and they finally got a new season of Harvey Birdman. All I need is new Boondocks.

    Way to missed the point entirely.

    To clearify, I'm talking about Adult Swim itself, not the shows.

    Well, to speak on the clarification, I've noticed that they've dropped a lot of the user bumps and instead would rather use them to force product down your throat.

    It's not just their product that they're doing this with, it's other companies.

    But then again, they need to get their revenue they're blowing on the crappy shows I mentioned above from somewhere. As long as they're not rehashing the same Girls Gone Wild ad over and over... *cough Comedy Central cough*

    Anyway, on the topic...

    I remember when Adult Swim had its weird humor, like a war between two shades of white over which would be the official text, but both white looked almost exactly alike. This is replaced with stuff like "Hey, we love this producer, he is the best in the world"... that is an exact quote.

    No kidding. One of the bumpers the other night thanked just a bunch of random high powered people and shows and what not. I get what you are saying BRP. It is becoming more and more of a sell out then just a network for us older people to have fun watching.

    Adult Swim seems to advertise themselves way too much. They're a little too cocky about their programs and how great they are. Seriously, when they show a commercial of a baby with mouths for eyes, say that it's us, and then show a uhh... sandwich or something, I don't remember, it's fucking degrading.

    Honestly I only put Adult Swim on for Futurama/Family Guy/Robot Chicken.

    I liked Adult Swim best when it was mostly anime. Now it's packed with frat-boy viewers who are obsessed with shows Fox cancelled 10 years ago.

    I dont really watch adult swim, except for when I go to my friends house who records some shows with TiVo, like tome goes to the mayor (hilarious, imo) . One of the main reasons that I stopped watching was that they constantley showed reruns and ANIME. It was just boring. I just wish that they would show some new Aqua Teen Hunger Force. cuz that show owns so hard.

    Tom Goes to the Mayor makes me /sigh so hard my back hurts. Everytime I realize it's still on the air, I shake my head and wonder if I'm on an episode of the Twilight Zone. The creators are profiting from brainless writing with a homosexual twist, while good shows like Perfect Hair Forever end up on the cutting room floor.

    If Tom Goes to Mayor stopped existing right now, it wouldn't be soon enough. I sympathize with those who have watched full episodes, and for the creators, may God have mercy on their souls. If I had a chance to relive the precious moments I spent watching TGTTM, I'd probably spend them burning ants with a magnifying glass, as that would be a more productive use of my time.

    Public apologies need be issued if Adult Swim wants to win back my casual viewing. Criticism aside here are my picks.

    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig
    Full Metal Alchemist
    Perfect Hair Forever
    Futurama
    Sealab 2021
    Family Guy
    The Venture Brothers
    Shin Chan
    Aqua Teen Hunger Force
    The Boondocks
    Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law

    Any that I missed, well that's too bad~

    No eating in the pool!

    I miss those days

    I agree with BRP, I enjoyed Adult Swim much more when it was mostly Anime. I also really liked Space Ghost, but I'm not sure how popular/unpopular that show was.

    Sea Lab 2021 was great until the guy who voiced the captain died in real life. They tried to replace him but it just didn't feel the same.

    The only show on that I would actually watch anymore is Aqua Teen, and that has gone down hill too.

    Edit: I just realized that after the old school "pool" blip, my youtube video link goes into a stupid fucking "Tom goes.." episode. Wtf. Oh, the irony...

    Oh man... it's amazing, thinking back when I watched the premier episode of Inuyasha or something, like what? 4 years ago?

    Heh, this thread has got me feeling all nostalgic.

    Now I'm thinking about the days when Toonami was still worth watching lol.
