C&C - Anything Else/Cards [1/8 - 1/13]

[The Landstander]

Another week, another one of these.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

new Futurama bumps are nice actually featuring show art and characters :)

[Youko Recca]

new Futurama bumps are nice actually featuring show art and characters :)
I agree, these new bumps are pretty nice.

[GMB]

I agree, these new bumps are pretty nice.

The Futurama ones weren't bad. The VB ones. . .not so much.

[Youko Recca]

Hmm, didn't catch the VB one(s). Speaking of VB, I like this episode now that I remember it.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

dr venture is pregnant? that ending has a whole new meaning after seeing the season finale :eek: nice foreshadowing!

[livingfruitvirus]

He used Sally's urine sample. Remember?

[NickWhiz1]

<3 new FMA bump

[Demonic Raven]

All of the new bumps are lookin pretty sweet. FMA's especially.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Lovin' the bumps. I like the episode of Futurama where Leela finally meets her parents and the parodies in this ep. of Venture Bros. are great. :D

[Youko Recca]

I'm liking the action ones more as they come.

[li_mangaman]

GITS will be nice, I wonder if Inu and Bebop will change.

[Duke]

Dude, I <3 the FMA bump when it goes to commercial. That's because when it's panning down, there's a shot of the extended arm from Gundam Altron from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Somebody at Williams Street has an Altron Model Kit! Squee! :anime:

[Rabi~en~Rose]

GITS will be nice, I wonder if Inu and Bebop will change.

well the first GitS one wasn't nice :shrug: I give up there will be no super secret special rating tonight :sweat:

[Youko Recca]

well the first GitS one wasn't nice :shrug:
Which one was that one?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Which one was that one?

lumberjack with chainsaw chasing abear. it looked like a comedy card reject to me and since most/some of WS don't care for anime where better to throw a lame card? lol

[PaQ]

The new cards look.. different. I usually don't care most of the time, but I'm glad to see some energy is being put into making some variation in them.

[Zyzzybalubah]

I just looked at the schedule, I know it hasn't been on yet but just had to comment. Hurray for Big O returning to Adult Swim weeknights! It's a little amusing, Wolf's Rain will be getting repeats but Robin goes bye bye. I guess Robin must have been pretty weak in ratings? I mean even Lupin got two or so runs at that hour.

[The Landstander]

I'm would guess that WHR and Lupin were about the same level in ratings in premieres; just not that popular. I would also guess the difference is that the WS people seem to really like Lupin.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

hey LS make like a really big super deal out of Big O's return please!! its warranted from not being on in a year :) :) :)

[wrenchien]

why?

[Duke]

After watching the rerun of FMA. I was incorrect. It wasn't Gundam Altron's arm being used, but the Shen-Long Gundam.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

hmmm so 12oz mouse is about a mouse who drives a cab? that really sounds wacky :)

its going to take until April for new TGTTM?? :( its turning into another Birdman :eek: and wasn't WWLazers on last week? :confused:

[KnightusMaximus]

hmmm so 12oz mouse is about a mouse who drives a cab? that really sounds wacky :)

its going to take until April for new TGTTM?? :( its turning into another Birdman :eek: and wasn't WWLazers on last week? :confused:So it seems. It makes sense sort of - they're rerunning Tom a lot now probably because it'll be taken off in February for the premiere of Robot Chicken. (Then returned in April with the next 8 episodes)

[bluedeucedodge]

what the hell? mission hill? in the top 3?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

first ratings of the new year!


Sunday, January 2nd

Family Guy - 559,000
ATHF - 549,000
Mission Hill - 358,000


Mission Hill :confused: :confused: :confused:

[The Landstander]

:confused: more like :cool:.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Isn't Family Guy usually a lot better than that?

[Discloner]

Don't get me wrong...I love seeing Mission Hill in the top 3, but that's a pretty big drop off from 2nd to 3rd. ATHF in the 500,000s and Mission hill in the mid 300,000s. :shrug:

[William C. Maune]

more like ??? at everything between FG and MH (that wasn't ATHF) pulling < 358,000.

[Djm912]

Wow. That's not saying much for all the other shows.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, January 2nd

Family Guy - 559,000
ATHF - 549,000
Mission Hill - 358,000


Saturday, January 1st

Futurama - 491,000
VB - 398,000
FMA - 344,000


New Years night wasn't good for Saturday!



looks like WS is withholding December 18-19 & 25-26 ratings so flash that Lance signal if you ever want to know FMA episode 7's ratings


Up - ATHF
Down - Family Guy, Futurama, VB, FMA
??? - Mission Hill

[William C. Maune]

New Years night wasn't good for Saturday!

Holiday weekends never seem to be all that great for Adult Swim. Too many people using the time to do too many other things.

[TnAdct1]

Holiday weekends never seem to be all that great for Adult Swim. Too many people using the time to do too many other things. Not to mention the fact that one of college football "Bowl" games was on last Saturday.

BTW, probably expect similar ratings on New Year's Day for yesterday and this coming Saturday, considering the NFL playoffs that's currently going on (and I definitely have a feeling that last night's game will affect FMA's ratings). :(

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Holiday weekends never seem to be all that great for Adult Swim. Too many people using the time to do too many other things.

your right about that :( but I was hoping it would do a little better since New Years night was actually friday when most of the action took place oh well

[PaQ]

On Sunday's ratings, nice to see Mission Hill in the top 3. With the lack of new shows on Sundays for the next few weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if it makes a few more. (or course it would be nice for HM to make a top 3.. but that's really a pipe dream :().

For saturday, it was the first, so I'm guessing the hangovers from crazy new years was just too much for some. :p Still a decent 344 for FMA, and a decent outing for VB.

[Sketch]

Anyone else get a serious Freakazoid vibe from this?






RELAX!

I sure did.

[ClockStomper]

Seems like WS should give up on Sealab for good...

I liked how FG's viewer mail show has the real writing credits before each segment just to assure us it really isn't viewer ideas.

[Beat]

Bowl games were on. America was too busy watching Ashlee Simpson get booed to tune in to Fullmetal Alchemist. It'll pick up next week.

Sealab and Tom Goes to the Mayor on Sunday continue to the be the limp one-two punch of the night. If you're not gonna shelve them, move them to a 1:30 slot or something. Keeping them early only hurts the block.

[Crimefighter]

What the heck was with these new cards in between the shows and commericals? And all in kanji too.

[Don_East]

Does anyone beside me notice the fact that they are aired the same TGTTM(WW Laserz) from last week?

[livingfruitvirus]

exclusive peek of Elektra this Thursday. looks interesting.

[Chad Bonin]

For FMA's bumper, did anyone else notice there was an... um... Military Dog? (I believe there was a military uniform with a dog head... sly nod to the Military Alchemists in FMA)

[Duke]

I've heard weird song lyrics in my time, but "Toodle oodle Llama" is certainly up there.

[Artimus Gigan]

I've heard weird song lyrics in my time, but "Toodle oodle Llama" is certainly up there.
Heh...you have not heard wierd enough then

try kazumatcha rendosu rogama piejitsu nogama mozeii

and the funny thing is it's an actual line to a song and it's purposely written in jibberish

[GMB]

exclusive peek of Elektra this Thursday. looks interesting.

You'd think they'd learned their lesson after the whole Tomb Raider 2 deal, but if they want to continue their "anything pimped hardcore on [as] crashes and burns," curse they could pick no better target than Jennifer Garner and her five-head.

[livingfruitvirus]

You'd think they'd learned their lesson after the whole Tomb Raider 2 deal, but if they want to continue their "anything pimped hardcore on [as] crashes and burns," curse they could pick no better target than Jennifer Garner and her five-head.If FOX wants to fork over a ton of cash for a 2 minute spot, I'd take their money off their hands.

I also don't recall the X2 DVD crashing and burning.

[GMB]

If FOX wants to fork over a ton of cash for a 2 minute spot, I'd take their money off their hands.

I sure hope there's something you wouldn't put a price tag on.

I doubt it was a "ton" of cash in any case--it's a movie that by all rights should be direct-to-video spun off a crappy movie that at best underperformed, at worst had a worse service history than the Hindenburg.

Still and all, if [as] wants to make themselves even more mediocre and banal, this is as good a way as any to accomplish that. Thanks to the ATHF marathon crashing and burning, it's not like they can just strip Sealab for a whole night . . .

And no, X2 didn't crash and burn. But X2 was the DVD release of a highly-anticipated sequel to a successful movie. Tomb Raider 2 and Elektra are sequels and spinoffs to box office bombs that no one wanted to see the first time (even among the great unwashed that usually shovels vapidity and idiotic movie offal into its gullet like a fat woman shoveling Bon Bons into her mouth), and will twice as not want to see this time.

You're comparing apples and oranges in an attempt to divert me from expressing the opinion that outside of Seth McFarlane week, [as]'s special events are usually a colossal waste of time.

[Beat]

Does anyone beside me notice the fact that they are aired the same TGTTM(WW Laserz) from last week?
They don't have that many reruns to burn through.

Every time I watch a TGTTM ep, I become more and more convinced that Tim and Eric hate humanity and created that show to punish mankind.

Also, it seems they really didn't care about the ratings that one week.

[livingfruitvirus]

When you're in a business to sell advertising, you'd be stupid to turn down a company that wants to buy out an entire commercial break to promote their movie because you don't like the franchise or comic book or whatever. If you don't accept it, some other network will. Who cares if you don't like the damn movie or you think this should've done this or that? It's 2 freakin minutes and that's that. One's principles can only stretch so far until they just become a tightass.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Does anyone beside me notice the fact that they are aired the same TGTTM(WW Laserz) from last week?

me me! it could become a running gag if they only ever air WWLazers :p

Speaking of ratings, did we ever get the numbers for FMA 7?

no :(

[Spastic Minnow]

I tried rewatching WWLazers last Thursday. I remembered posts from the original review thread that gave the impression that Tom getting hit by the brick was supposed to be the funniest thing since the whoopee cushion, so I watched up to that point. YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY? The obnoxious kid got mad for a really dumb reason, threw a brick at Tom, Tom fell, there was absolutely nothing special about it!

[Don_East]

me me! it could become a running gag if they only ever air WWLazers :p
That would not be funny. It would be annoying. :mad:

[bluedeucedodge]

One's principles can only stretch so far until they just become a tightass.
I have got to remember that. That is an awesome quote.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

woah woah woah has AS gone mad? VB is going to takeover FG's Sunday spot? :eek:

[Don_East]

I hope WS made they're decesion on VB because if the Sunday night showings gets beaten by the NFL Playoffs it would be Home Movies all over again.

[GMB]

One's principles can only stretch so far until they just become a tightass.

Other networks DID accept it. It's not like [as] has some radical kewl exclusive on this. I think when you're lowering yourself to devoting valuable airtime to a movie that Spike TV is saturation bombing . . .well, suicide is an option. In some cultures, you even get your dignity back.

And having high standards is not a crime, honestly. Higher standards might have had Sealab cancelled ages ago and how is that not a big win for the human race?

You know, those are all very practical reason to whore out your time for a movie that will no doubt satisfy those people who craved more movies like Mortal Kombat Annihilation, but try to see the distinction between "practical" and "justified."

And sticking a damn dollar sign on everything hardly justfies your argument. If the only argument you can come up with is "well they paid us a LOTTA money to pimp it," well . . .you're being a shill.

[Master Moron]

Sealab and Tom Goes to the Mayor on Sunday continue to the be the limp one-two punch of the night. If you're not gonna shelve them, move them to a 1:30 slot or something. Keeping them early only hurts the block.

I agree with you that Tom and Sealab suck, but they already moved them later to 12. They'd only move them till 1:30 if they did worse in ratings than Mission Hill and Home Movies...well, actually, they DID do worse than Mission Hill last week, but that was probably a fluke.

If [adult swim] had a bigger budget and/or was on a broadcast network, then they could probably turn down this thing and still have tons of money left over to play with.

But they don't. They have to pay their bills using advertising money, and these kinds of spots pay MUCH more than your average 30-second commercial. I don't see why you have such a big problem with this. It's not like they're taking off and playing one of those HBO-specials or something.

And what if the people at Adult Swim are actually anticipating Elektra? Are they not allowed to air any specials for it when given the chance just because a few viewers are insulted? Hell, if that were the case, Family Guy would've been gone long ago.

[Master Moron]

woah woah woah has AS gone mad? VB is going to takeover FG's Sunday spot? :eek:

Wait? What? Was that on one of the cards? I assume this won't happen for a while since new episodes haven't even been announced yet...unless they're taking Family Guy off for old episodes of Venture Brothers...in that case, yeah, they've gone mad.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

unless they're taking Family Guy off for old episodes of Venture Brothers...in that case, yeah, they've gone mad.

that would be it! judging by when I posted it was the card going in Futur's commercial break so you can catch again in like a hour or so. I was wondering why "see all showings" for VB wasn't working on cn.com the other night when I was checking around infact it still dont work :confused:

[GMB]

Hey thanks! But I know how TV works. Not that it does, but that's another thread.

I don't see why you have such a big problem with this. It's not like they're taking off and playing one of those HBO-specials or something.

Glad you asked. I dislike it because it's yet another example of advertising-- and advertising for stupid, useless, crap at that--further encroaching on the real reason I tuned in to the damn channel in the first place. I think most advertising is retarded, tasteless, unneccessary, and FAR too saturated in the public mindset as a Good Thing, as this thread is demonstrates. It's stupid and makes people stupider, and honestly, the human race can't afford to lose any more IQ points.

I have a bit more faith in the human race (and I say this as a mean-spirited elitist) that in a world totally devoid of advertising they would be able to find their way to grocery store and buy friggin' soap if they got dirty.

/soapbox


And what if the people at Adult Swim are actually anticipating Elektra?

Then they're about as stupid as I gave them credit for. I have about as much faith in [as]'s taste as I do in their joke writing or their ability to find their asses with both hands in their back pockets. Not much, in other words.

Are they not allowed to air any specials for it when given the chance just because a few viewers are insulted?

Well, considering the airwaves are a public trust leased from us . . .well, yeah. I kinda would like them to aim for something that wasn't completely offensive to thinking people. They can't do it, obviously, but I'm big on gold stars for extra effort.

[dawnyoshi]

so...witch hunter robin, an excellent anime, is taken off after one more run, and wolf's rain, a good to bad fest of one view only needed, gets another run. Nice. really. that's just nice.

even lupin got far more runs than robin. It's unfortunate injustice (not saying lupin sucks either, as I love the series. just trying to make a point).

[NewLib]

GMB, I am sure people would be able to find a bar of soap. But that's not the point of advertising. The point of advertising is for people to buy YOUR bar of soap.

The world needs advertising, actually does a lot to prevent monopolies.

[Tienshin]

Hey thanks! But I know how TV works. Not that it does, but that's another thread.

Maybe it’s time you take a step back from this topic because your soapbox pontificating over this Elektra spot is crossing over into the obnoxious. This thread is for discussing reruns and cards, not the judgment (or lack thereof) exercised in selling air time to advertisers or any of the other tangential points you go on to make for that matter.

END OF THAT DISCUSSION

[herbkir]

It looks like the temporary move to the 11 p.m. slot and their selection of episodes and the ad campaign form a bid to boost VB ratings to the point that would justify spending money on another season.

I may be reading too much into this, but it looks like VB is at the same point Conan was, on the bubble regarding a "more or no more" decision. But with VB, the AS people have an advocate's interest in goosing the ratings so VB will fall into the "more" category. I wish them luck.

As to the Elektra ad, if they've got the money, AS has got the time. That's what they sell, and that's what pays for the shows we love and hate. So go to the kitchen or the toilet if you don't like the movie or the ad. (^_*)

[Demonic Raven]

Y'know, I didn't realize until recently just how much I missed Big O. May even pick up the DVDs sometime in the future. :D

[bluedeucedodge]

I just looked at the schedule, and I realized that there won't be any new Sealabs in the near future. Any word on when they will return?(I know most of you on here don't give a crap, but I'd like to know)

[GMB]

END OF THAT DISCUSSION

Tienshin, dropping the hammer whenever something gets obnoxious on this board alone would be like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Considering the ad in question is airing on [as] and taking up 2 hours of programming time that could be spent on, y'know, programming, yeah, I thought it was somewhat germane to the discussion. It took a rather long response to explain my opinion fully.

If your eyes glazed over and didn't feel like reading all of it, it's not my problem, but it's not like I was throwing out flames at anyone or anything.

It was everyone else who tried to take it further and further because it's easier to go around the block 9 or 10 times than it is to just admit that it's a bad idea. Don't confuse my opinions with their tangents--I stuck pretty close to the topic at hand.

But hey, you're the mod.

[KnightusMaximus]

I just looked at the schedule, and I realized that there won't be any new Sealabs in the near future. Any word on when they will return?(I know most of you on here don't give a crap, but I'd like to know) Apparently Sealab 2021 will return with a new season on Sunday, March 6.

[Duke]

Considering the ad in question is airing on [as] and taking up 2 hours of programming time that could be spent on, y'know, programming, yeah, I thought it was somewhat germane to the discussion. It took a rather long response to explain my opinion fully.
Wait, is it an actual behind-the-scenes special (a la HBO), or is it just a series of bumps stringed together like Tomb Raider 2 and X-Men?

[GMB]

Wait, is it an actual behind-the-scenes special (a la HBO), or is it just a series of bumps stringed together like Tomb Raider 2 and X-Men?

Probably like TR 2, either a series of bumps or an extended trailer.

even lupin got far more runs than robin. It's unfortunate injustice (not saying lupin sucks either, as I love the series. just trying to make a point).
Same thing happened with Kikaider when they brought it back the last time. I'm not a fan of Robin, but yeah that does stink for the fans it only received one run, I know I was mad about it when that happened with Kikaider.

[Zyzzybalubah]

Bowl games were on. America was too busy watching Ashlee Simpson get booed to tune in to Fullmetal Alchemist. It'll pick up next week.

Sealab and Tom Goes to the Mayor on Sunday continue to the be the limp one-two punch of the night. If you're not gonna shelve them, move them to a 1:30 slot or something. Keeping them early only hurts the block.

I wasn’t aware the Elektra spot was two hours and that all AS programming would be preempted to air it. Though I assume you meant 2 minutes. Two minutes of time that would be used to air advertisements anyway.

If your eyes glazed over and didn't feel like reading all of it, it's not my problem, but it's not like I was throwing out flames at anyone or anything.

But hey, you're the mod.

Your opinion != fact.

I don’t mind discussion that strays or drags out a bit, it happens in a lot of threads. However, beating the same subjective point to death is no different than say having people argue over dubbed anime versus subbed anime…it goes on and on and in the end nothing substantive is established. That is why it is time to step away from the topic.

If you have more comments on this PM me.

[GMB]

That is correct. Apologies for the typo--two minutes, not hours. Dyslexia fun can be. ;)

[James Bester]

Y'know, I didn't realize until recently just how much I missed Big O. May even pick up the DVDs sometime in the future. :DI just started watching it. Its an awesome show. Hopefully, it'll stay on the block for the next few months.

[livingfruitvirus]

Here's a query: Thursday is premiere encore night, no? Last I checked Tom and Sealab weren't premieres. Why not just move the premieres up a half hour each?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Here's a query: Thursday is premiere encore night, no? Last I checked Tom and Sealab weren't premieres. Why not just move the premieres up a half hour each?

and why did they play Toodle Day and not WWLazers? :confused:

[livingfruitvirus]

and why did they play Toodle Day and not WWLazers? :confused:
Cowboy Funk syndrome

[TnAdct1]

and why did they play Toodle Day and not WWLazers? :confused: Because the recent Sunday airing of WWLazers was an programming error, with WS fixing it for the Thursday airing (it similar to how the US premiere of the Cowboy Andy episode of Cowboy Bebop was on a Thursday to WS accidentally showing Jupiter Jazz Part 1 on the Sunday time slot that it was supposed to air).

[Swordfish_II]

Here's a query: Thursday is premiere encore night, no? Last I checked Tom and Sealab weren't premieres. Why not just move the premieres up a half hour each? But that would be the smart thing to do. Plus they don't want anime messing with their prestigious comedy section.

[livingfruitvirus]

Plus they don't want anime messing with their prestigious comedy section.So why are they moving Saturday anime up a half hour in February?

[TnAdct1]

So why are they moving Saturday anime up a half hour in February? Because AS is switching the days that Venture Brothers and Super Milk-Chan air.

[Beat]

Milk-Chan is considered a comedy show. Any comedy, even the lowest of them, still takes presedence over action.

[Swordfish_II]

So why are they moving Saturday anime up a half hour in February? I'm actually surprised they're not trying to put Family Guy on six days a week.:shrug:
Milk-Chan is considered a comedy show. Any comedy, even the lowest of them, still takes presedence over action.
Except the fact it's the last show on Thursdays and will be the last show when it moves to Saturdays?

[Tienshin]

Because AS is switching the days that Venture Brothers and Super Milk-Chan air.

More accurately AS is bumping the VB reruns to move FMA up a half hour, and judging by its ratings success it earned its way there.

Milk-Chan is considered a comedy show. Any comedy, even the lowest of them, still takes presedence over action.

Really? Then why is Milk Chan being sent to the graveyard slot of 1:30AM when it joins the Saturday lineup?

edit: Damn you Swordfish! :mad:

[Beat]

Well, that makes more sense, seeing as the reaction to Milk-Chan so far has been universal hate.
