Adult Swim changes and rearranges

[Jimmy Kustes]

Can Matt Wilson, livingfruitvirus, or anyone else who knows about Adult Swim verify these changes to the block or provide opinions.

Here are the new shows that are likely to show up:

Aquaman: Info?

Baby Blues: Never saw it on WB, but will watch it on CN. I would rather see a show about Jerry Scott's other comic though (duh).

Eltingville Club: I never heard of this comic, but it doesn't mean it won't be good. Background info?

Shows that should be on:

O Canada: This show was on after SGC2C up until Adult Swim. It is not raunchy but it is adult because of its sopistication and direction. Ranges from social commentary to black comedy to children fairytales

Adult Swim movies: Is Pink Floyd's The Wall and The Beatles' Yellow Submarine animated? If they are: show them, because I want to see them.

What are the chances for Dilbert, Mission Hill, PJ's, Oblongs, and Clerks?

What I want animated for Adult Swim:

Zits
Penny Arcade

Aquaman: The Aquaman Happy Hour is a 15 minute show about Aquaman, who runs a children's television program, but does a poor job of it, and often runs into his far superior Superfriends.

Eltingville Club: It is by Evan Dorkin, a Slave Labor Graphics legend. His comics are quite adult(ever see Milk and Cheese?), as is the case with SLG, but he mentioned that CN didn't restrict him at all when making the pilot. So it should be quite funny.

- What are the chances for Dilbert,

None. The team has left. I've talked to one of the staffers.

- Mission Hill,

It's on Teletoon right now. It could come to CN, but Teletoon wants to keep it exclusive for now.

- PJ's,

Williams St. wouldn't touch that show with a 500 foot pole.

- Oblongs,

It's very possible, if WB handed them Baby Blues.

- Clerks?

Possible. Kevin said it was coming back, but did not list which network.

- Penny Arcade

Man, that would kick ass.

I have heard of Milk and Cheese but have never seen it. Could someone give me a link to ether of these comics? Which is better and more worthy of a show?

Matt, they might not make new Dilbert eps, but aren't old ones on in Canada? I don't see why they couldn't air those.

I've heard good things about the Dilbert series. And I always thought the comic was pretty good.. yeah, it'd be nice if they shown the old ones.

[zimed]

Zits and Penny arcade....that'd be great

[CookieS]

I talked to Cartoon Network and they are looking to obtain a new show or two. Unfortunately, none of the ones you guys mentioned are on the list :rolleyes:

[spectre316]

Do you know which ones are? Or, at least, in consideration to be one?

If you're talking to me, then I can say that they're hiding.

People from Williams Street already posted on the Space Ghost newsgroup about Aquaman and some of the shows that have new episodes.

Evan Dorkin posted the news about Eltingsville Club at his website.

Perhaps CN thought you were talking about 2003?

You never saw "Baby Blues"? You've no idea what you missed; nothing groundbreaking, but a darn funny show. I'd love to see it make a return.

"Clerks" has been released on DVD, so I'm not too worried about it, but I'd like to see the other shows (in particular, "Dilbert" and "The PJs") again.

I hope they branch out to more action adventure series and have more half hour comedy shows, instead of 15 minute episodes.

Etlingville Club ran in some comics that Dorkin did published by Marvel. Why would the show end up on CN? Well, Dorkin wrote 10 of the most hillarious SGC2C episodes along with Sarah Dyer. According to his site, there are two more scripts that he wrote that have been waiting at Williams Street to become episodes since 1999.

The original comic had one kid wearing a Punisher shirt and another wearing a Fantastic Four shirt. Guess what. Marvel wouldn't let them wear the shirts. DC comics would not let them use any of their trademarks for the show either. Just an odd little piece of info for the show.

Matt, you said that he felt that they didn't respect him at CN, yet I've read several interviews with him. He didn't seem to mention it. Of course, my info could be wrong. How reliable is comics2film.com? I know that their information is usually from other sites, so maybe you are right on that one.

[Killtacular]

I said restrict, not respect.

CN didn't RESTRICT him in making the cartoon. They didn't force him to put it any cute mascot or tone down the humor or anything. Basically they had no hands-on with Evan's show at all.

DuncanZits, I know you've probably already been given this link, but for the benefit of the uninitiated out there, here's the homepage for Milk & Cheese...http://www.houseoffun.com/m&c/index.html It's a good book about dairy products gone bad. And check out the main page: you can't go wrong with Dorkin and Dyer!

Thanks...Acually you were the first one to give me that link. Too bad I am too poor to afford comic books. At least I will see Eltingville Club on Adult Swim. :)

Matt, in response to that: "Oops."

*Goes on to pound his head on a wall*

[Coollead]

Sigh...Dilbert was one of the funniest animated shows ever.
Ever see the Marker episode? PURE GENIUS!

..oh well. I do want to see how Home Movies looks now that its done in Flash.

This is a nice layout... very clean and no freakin pop-ups.

I've heard a rumor that a show called Saddle Rash may be in the works for AS. I have no idea when it's going to be added, but it's pretty funny (in the HM sort of vein).

Welcome, nothing! I don't post at the unofficial AS website boards, but I do browse them and I know you are a regular poster there and have very reliable information about Adult Swim. Welcome, and thanks for making your first post at Toonzone on my thread! :D

Hello and welcome Nothing to the boards! I hope you enjoy it here!

Craig Bartlett also wants to get his own show on CN, although I dunno if what block he wants it to be for.

I believe the next episode of Space Ghost(DVD) has.. Merill Markoe. How many times has Merill been on the show, anyway?!

- PJ's,

Williams St. wouldn't touch that show with a 500 foot pole.

I'd like to know what Williams St. has against the PJs anyway, unless they want to stay away from anything that seems controversial, like the Projects, depiction of certain stereotypes.
