What is with putting the show that many enjoy to watch, especially leaving it with such a cliff hanger, be on so late? Will it even continue from where it left off or will it begin all over again? Man this bites. Does AS really want to leave people haning like that? There are only 26 episodes right? Why keep it lying around, just get it over with already.
This is why I can't get into any of the shows AS puts on their block because they never leave them in there long enough to enjoy it. Don't the people of AS know the meaning of continuity. I mean this isn't the only show that they have done this to. They have done this to tons of shows. Why, I really don't know. But maybe s-cry-ed is that bad. Did it do that bad in the ratings? Someone please explain what is going on here. AS needs to stop and think what they are doing because at this rate I probably see them going down the tubes faster than they got here.
Thank you.

I can't say I agree. They generally treat shows rather well, while I imagine it has happened, I cannot recall any other incidences of the type you cite. Frankly I'm was not entirely sure what you were complaining of without checking the schedules, but I have been lax in my attentiveness to Scryed out of uninterest.
I don't imagine that Scryed has been doing particularly well in the ratings, and as Alchemist is returning with new episodes that show naturally takes priority and the rest of the shows are subsequently shuffled about. Samurai Champloo hasn't done great, but it has cracked the top three a number of times, something I don't recall Scryed having done often, if at all.

I hear a lot of likes and dislikes of the show but why not reshuffle the scedule is my point? Say: Inuyashia, SC, FMA, then keep s-cry-ed in same slot because it still did good enough, then whatever is left because I know s-cry-ed didn't do bad enough to earn that time frame. I know plenty of shows that did worse ie... man I suck with names of shows ummmm... the show that was on directly after S-cry-ed before they cut it off because of the movies, Case Closed/Detective Conan which I enjoyed, some of the comedy shows they had and YYH when that was still on AS back in the day.
With regards to your point about shuffling, why keep Futurama in the rotation? Doesn't make any sense to me. That show has been played to death and beyond the depths of hell. I would think AS would want to at least get new eps for that but they just keep reairing the ones they have.
Thank you.

Adult Swim is, if nothing else, is numbers driven. Unfortunately the ratings cards don't give us any in depth visibility into how any show outside of the top three perform on a week to week basis much less a more comprehensive long term view. That said, we can safely assume that Scryed's performance may have been okay, but not quite up to the same level as whatever aired before it. AS isn't snubbing it unfairly but instead trying to get the best bang for the buck out of the lineup. Some shows win and others don't.

Futurama is a necessity at this point. While the idea of an all action AS rocks, the reality is the lead in power of Futurama puts asses in the seats, so to speak. It's a fact that Saturdays flounder in mediocrity without it. However, there is no commitment to producing new episodes on FOX's end, and Adult Swim isn't equipped to foot the bill for that kind of effort just yet.
Thank you.

My only complaint about S-Cry-Ed's time will be when next month arrives and FLCL airs in front of it. I enjoy FLCL, but I don't look forward to an huor of reruns before S-Cry-Ed.
regarding the schedule though, it has been posted in the schedule here at Toon Zone though for nearly 3 weeks. If you ever actually looked at the schedule links, then you would know that they would be picking up where episode 13 left off at, so next time you should check the schedule page before complaining about something that has already been answered.
