[Beat]

Spanish Shake is surprisingly funny.

[SpaceCowboy]

Was that clip of Shake speaking Spanish actually from an existing Spanish dubbed version of ATHF, or was it just something Williams Street made just for that clip?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

hey they mentioned Tim and the stabbing :eek: he looked okay but that scar :( poor guy

anime has 40% of the lineup just because IY is back on saturday :confused: hey cool VB is back on Sunday!

[Don_East]

I thought they won't air the "Venture Bros." Pilot anymore at request of the creators.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

anymore AM ratings?


Saturday, March 18th

FMA - 266,000
Venture (2 am) - 253,000
FMA (3 am) - 235,000

way to finish the series :p


Down - FMA, Venture (2 am)
New - FMA (3 am)

[shoujoaifan]

The Spanish Shake was funny, but reminds me of something:

That the ATHF movie, which I'm sure will be decent, pretty much has grab the audience and not let go to make-up for the extremely long time without new episodes (aside from those 3 new ones from awhile back). I don't think the quality in the last few seasons has dropped as much as some people claim (although the Mexican-Jumping-Beans-in-Shake's-Head was pretty bad) but unless this movie is all that and a truckload of bags of chips, or at least performs like it is, ATHF might not have that many new seasons in the future.

.....although considering the performance of some of AS's latest new series, the only real ratings grabbers they have are ATHF, RC, Boondocks, and the FOX shows, so it would be stupid to cease production on ATHF, even if the movie doesn't do that well, if it even goes to theaters and isn't direct-to-DVD, althought that might be reason enough to keep making more if sales are good , and I'm sure a bajillion others reasons pro- and con- that I've missed.....




My point in all that.....yeah, I guess I rambled there for awhile :sweat:

[Scirel]

damn, sundays sure ain`t what they used to be.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, March 19th

F-Guy - 586,000
Boondocks - 580,000
Chicken - 557,000

will we never see millions again? :(


Down - F-Guy, Boondocks, Chicken

[Ultra Mike]

will we never see millions again?

I'm sure we will. It's jsut that March usually dosen't garner the highest ratings. I'm sure the sweeps month will produce better ratings then just high 500's at the very least.

[Master Moron]

anymore AM ratings?


Saturday, March 18th

FMA - 266,000
Venture (2 am) - 253,000
FMA (3 am) - 235,000

way to finish the series :p


Down - FMA, Venture (2 am)
New - FMA (3 am)

Well, if you combine the two Full Metal Alchemist ratings together it's more than 500,000 viewers...

[Scirel]

Why do the ultra late slots continually outperfom most before it? Are people really up at 2/3AM?

And now, AS has finally realized that saturday ratings will suck nomatter what they put there, so may as well give it back to anime.

[Freedom Fighter]

Theories about how both FMAs ended up on the Saturday Top 3:
1) A lot of people thought the finale was so awesome it was worth staying up another three hours to see it again.
2) A lot of people were confused about the finale being open-ended that they had to watch it again to make sure they didn't miss something.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

3) A lot of people like me didn't get back in until after midnight and caught the repeat, making it mostly different viewers.

[Happy]

They aired the VB pilot? Argh, I missed it.

[herbkir]

With Saturdays, AS can't give up the night. They still need it to log the necessary airtime hours to sustain AS as a separately-rated network. So they might as well make it all anime and count on the audience being loyal, if small. And they can spin that loyalty into an asset when marketing the network to advertisers. (The difference between sh*t and fertilizer is marketing.)

Still, the Saturday audience isn't really that small considering how Sundays have fallen. Sundays outpulled Saturdays 2:1, which is normal. But nothing topped 600K on 3/19 and for a Sunday comedy lineup, that's horrid. They're probably hoping Sundays will pick up once new episodes start running and March Madness is over. (^_*)

[Sketch]

Losing an hour in the whole week shouldn't keep them from being it's own network. They got Sunday 10-11PM as extra I believe and if that doesn't count then the expansion to weekdays certainly gives them more than enough time to cut back Saturday by an hour or even more.

[Duke]

Yea, the writing's on the wall that AS Saturdays is going to be cut down by at least an hour pretty soon. I don't think they'll give up the 12AM-2AM hours pretty soon, due to GitS premieres and other stuff, but it's obvious AS doesn't care about the first hour anymore.

[Scirel]

Something I noticed after seeing the "king and I" ep of family guy for the billionth time, both Mr. Fargus and Chris's scout leader are in the audience at the end of the play.

[Tienshin]

That wouldn't bode well for Eureka 7, that's alot of episodes to burden with carrying the night. They still need a lead in, I think the block will get an overhaul before the first hour goes kaput.

Shatner is there, too, I just noticed tonight. Bizzare, since he supposedly died earlier in the season...

[Don_East]

I guess the animators wanted to have the one-shot characters to appear in the episode of the first production season.

[Tenku]

I swear, this ep of Champloo has the best "death-that-really-isn't-a-death-but-everything's-so-blurry-surreal-and-ethreal" scene I've ever watched.

<3 the song. *sniff*

[delariean]

LOL at the commercial for the Lord of the Rings....

I have never watched those movies and yet I am compelled to watch them now......

Secret lovers......Ha Ha!!

Yeah....Ep 14 of SC is just killer

[lwitkop]

I swear, this ep of Champloo has the best "death-that-really-isn't-a-death-but-everything's-so-blurry-surreal-and-ethreal" scene I've ever watched.

<3 the song. *sniff*

Yesterday's and today's were really the episodes that got me into Samurai Champloo. I was almost ready to love it after "Gamblers and Gallantry," and then they gave me some backstory, and I was sold. And it also has one of the single most bad-ass moments I've ever seen:
*limp*
*limp*
*limp*
DESTROY!

[Daffy Dork]

2 Minoriteams in a row last night was bit much considering only 3 episodes have aired.

[peacebyanymeans]

2 Minoriteams in a row last night was bit much considering only 3 episodes have aired.

Boondocks aired last night, not double Minoriteam.

[Aquadementia]

There was both a Boondocks and a double Minoriteam.

[peacebyanymeans]

There was both a Boondocks and a double Minoriteam.

Oh, okay. I'm guessing Minoriteam was on at midnight?

[Duke]

Oh, okay. I'm guessing Minoriteam was on at midnight?
11:00

[Daffy Dork]

11:00

Nope. Boondocks was 11. Minoriteam was midnight.

[delariean]

April Fools!!!!

[sag_2002]

CHUCK NORRIS KARATE COMMANDOS!!!

LOL, AS pulls the ol' April Fool's on us.

[Railith]

Hooray for April Fools, NORRIS STYLE!

[Ultra Mike]

Ha, glad that AS appreciate TRUE April Fools.

CN and AS.com say Inuyasha.

"Coming Up Next Is Inuyasha"

But then down from the heavens desends the show about Chuck Norris,
Talking about his team in it's intro chorus.

I hope anyone expecting Inuyasha tunes in to watch Chuck and actually put it on top of the ratings for next week. Wonder if the rest of the night will be Chuck or they'll switch it up with Super Globtrotters and Gary Coleman.

EDIT: Did that villian guy just say Sealab? Looks like the 2021 crew may get one adventure after all. Or you know, not at all.

[TnAdct1]

After seeing how my digital cable listings for Inu-Yasha were for last week's episodes, I had a feeling that AS was going to pull some sort of April Fools prank.

[delariean]

damn I need Air freshener!!!!!:D

[Railith]

GITS WITH FARTS!

Too funny for words.

[li_mangaman]

Damn, they could have at least done the right bumbs, or keep the new episodes on at the right time.

And do things right.

This isn't funny at all. They better repent at least. I expect to see these episodes for real soon.

Oh, and Bandai should sue [adult swim].

[Chad Bonin]

Given that this'll replay overnight (or will it? We lose an hour), you'll be able to catch a fartless GITS.

... can't believe I missed Chuck Norris though.

[li_mangaman]

How could they do this though, it's sacrilege.

[adult swim] has never, ever upset me before and I've stood behind them on many things, but at this point I'm pretty pissed. They're going to be losing business.

[Duke]

They didn't lose it after drawing mustaches on everyone's faces last April Fools.

[Railith]

Are they going to do something with FMA?

I guess not. :(

I STAND CORRECTED!

[Timmay]

Now FMA is the target!

[Mugen]

Are they going to do something with FMA?

I guess not. :(

Well, Ed has gas right now.

[JMorgan]

uuuuuuuuugh, it was really funny with GITS but now it's starting to get stale :( they could have at least used a different kind of sound effect..

[li_mangaman]

They didn't lose it after drawing mustaches on everyone's faces last April Fools.

I missed that

[Scirel]

Aw damn, I hope they show the regular version of gits at the regular time. It's not 4/1 anymore.

[Youko Recca]

Damn, was hoping they wouldn't use it on FMA.

[LordTerminal]

I'm hearing a lot of crapping sounds in with the farting sounds.

I said this earlier but:

If you really want to go over the daily reccomended amount of toiletrine humor, try playing the Sloprano Chapter in Conker.:D

[li_mangaman]

As it is no longer april fools day and [adult swim] is still desecrating good shows I am near finished watching [adult swim].

[sag_2002]

For those hatin' on AS for doing this, be glad this is only a once-a-year thing.

[Jedah Dohma]

Damn, I was hoping FMA would be the only anime spared. Though, I have to admit the walking, farting statues had me going 'LOL'.

[Mugen]

As it is no longer april fools day and [adult swim] is still desecrating good shows I am near finished watching [adult swim].

Come on, it's one day out of the whole year that they do this. I can see your point if they did this every week, but they don't.

[Majin_Megabyte]

Now there is darrharia nosies coming out.

[tb4000]

I was hoping they'd go with another 1980's show again, but alas, to no avail.:crying:

[li_mangaman]

Come on, it's one day out of the whole year that they do this. I can see your point if they did this every week, but they don't.

I guess then I'll watch until Saul of The Mole People primeres then.

That's pure sacrilege.

[Discloner]

As it is no longer april fools day and [adult swim] is still desecrating good shows I am near finished watching [adult swim].Chill out, it's just a joke. This episode has aired before and it'll air again sans the joke noises. Just sit back and laugh...or change the channel until it's all over. Nobody's forcing you to watch.

[Beat]

I could think of weirder pranks.

Airing Case Closed, for starters.

[LordTerminal]

My favorite moment in the episode and they drown it out with farts. I don't know whether to be angry or laughing right now.

[Youko Recca]

Now there is darrharia nosies coming out.

Yeah, that was sick.


Airing Case Closed, for starters.

Good idea, except I'd go with Blue Gender. Now that would have riled up some responces.

[Gorelab]

Okay, that thing with the farts coming out of the radio with the entire town looking bemused had me cracking up far too much.

[Railith]

Farting Evangelion should be awesome, espically if it's the mindrape episode like I think it is.

[LordTerminal]

And now Ed's big dramatic speech is drowned out. They sure pick the best moments for these don't they?

EDIT: They should've had diaoreah noises playing before the blood splatter noise instead. I'd be crapping my pants to death as well if I was about to be eaten by a big fatso like Gluttony.

[Tash]

*Ed turns around and farts instead of talking*

Al: Brother was trying to help you. He just doesn't know how to handle things well...

XD

[Fatneck]

That's pure sacrilege.
Of course it is, the church of FMA will be out for blood.

[Happy]

Hehehe, atleast AS is still doing fun stuff on April Fools.

[TheMecca]

This is the greatest thing Adult Swim has ever did. EVER.
I don't normally watch anime, but I bet hundreds of thousands of people are pissed off right now.

[Tash]

Did they always play the full ending on this episode?

[Captain Highwind]

Whoa, full outro!

[LordTerminal]

Not to my knowledge.

[sag_2002]

Yeah. I wasn't expecting the full ED.

OK... who's our next contestant?

[Animeforever'04]

This is the greatest thing Adult Swim has ever did. EVER.
I don't normally watch anime, but I bet hundreds of thousands of people are pissed off right now.
not me! i loved this!

[Jedah Dohma]

Nice, at least we got the full ending.

[KojiroTakenashi]

Pooping noise supposed human transmutation! Baahahahahaha!

[bluedeucedodge]

My favorite moment in the episode and they drown it out with farts. I don't know whether to be angry or laughing right now.

I know right. I had forgotten that today was april fools day. I checked for Inuyasha and saw Chuck Norris and said to myself out loud, "WTF?" I can't wait to findout what is next.:sweat:

[Scirel]

Okay, GITS at the regular time. Hopefully it's the real ep.

[sag_2002]

OK, GITS at it's regular time, with no fart noises. Looks like the joke's over.

[SpiritualRemain]

OK, GITS at it's regular time, with no fart noises. Looks like the joke's over.

It might just be because this is when it is suppose to premiere. I'd wait until Eva to say that they're done with the joke.

[TheMecca]

...
So.. what, it's OVER? Maybe they're trying to have some form of respect to GitS fans... until Eva starts!
Funnest night of television since that episode of Friends where Joey did something outrageous (truely, truely, truely outrageous) and everyone laughed.

[TnAdct1]

Farting Evangelion should be awesome, espically if it's the mindrape episode like I think it is. (worries that AS would actually do something like that)

[Happy]

Ranger Smith!

[TheMecca]

OH MY GOD
BOO BOO RUNS WILD!
I think I just pissed myself.

[The Landstander]

I laughed. =(

[Tash]

They should have put farting in BooBoo runs wild...

[Scirel]

I wonder what they`re gonna do to 1:30 now. Maybe another chuck norris?

[Wilco911]

I laughed. =(

I also laughed, then broke down in tears when I realised we're not getting farting Evas.

[Kasumi]

Man. I wanted farting mind raped Eva. Stupid but so hilarious in a sick and twisted way :evil:

[Mugen]

You know what would be funny? If this week, Saturday got the highest ratings in it's recent history.


...wait now that I think about it, that would actually be sad.:(

[zig973]

They should have put farting in BooBoo runs wild...Do they even NEED to do that? It's Boo Boo already!

[Jedah Dohma]

Farting Evas would have made my night for sure. Oh well, just the mental image would be hilarious.

[li_mangaman]

So will Eva be 3 weeks behind then?

We'll have to wait until it's 6AM to find out just what happened tonight, I suppose.

[li_mangaman]

I made an Ad for tonights Eva at school,on a whiteboard.

You know how many confused kids there will be?

[Master Moron]

I made an Ad for tonights Eva at school,on a whiteboard.

You know how many confused kids there will be?

Why are you advertising Eva at your school?

[KojiroTakenashi]

Why are you advertising Eva at your school?

Eva is the LAST thing any child ever needs to see!

[Tash]

And... AS wins tonights with Mr. T!

[Majin_Megabyte]

What the hell Mr.T cartoon.

[TheMecca]

Mr. T!
This truely is the best April Fool's Joke I've seen in a while.

[sag_2002]

Ho. Lee. Crap.

MR. F'N. T!

That's it. This is officially the greatest night in AS history.

[Jedah Dohma]

Mr. T's gunna throw someone hella far!

[li_mangaman]

Why are you advertising Eva at your school?

It's what I do.

I also did a full episode 19 recap on the same whiteboard.

Mr.T's having a nigga moment.
EDIT:
"Drop the boy"

"Why do you think I'm on my knees"

[Space Chief]

Seeing the IY bumper segueing into "CHUCK NORRIS" was incredible.

Oh, come on, no farting mindrape Eva? That would be the most twistedly funny thing ever.

I do think they could have come up with a better prank than this, though. Should've played "Dark Side of the Moon" over everything.

And Mr. T makes this the best night ever. I got it on tape, too!

[sag_2002]

I said it last night: That was the greatest night in AS history.

It started out normally, when the InuYasha bump came as usual, but then... "CHUCK NORRIS! MAN OF ACTION!" Oh, man. Classic.

And, then, GITS hits. It seems like a normal episode until... *fart noise* And, here we go again. This one got mixed opinions, and I do respect those opinions, but I was loving every second of it.

FMA got the same treatment, but it wasn't quite as good the second time around. Maybe because I was still recovering from the GITS fiasco.

Then, we got the same GITS ep, untouched. The joke seemed to be over. But wait, no... here's Boo Boo running wild.

And, then, to top off the insanity, the awesomeness that is Mr. T shows up, fresh off his appearance on Boomerang earlier in the day.

In short, plus 10 for originality, add another several billion for execution. Best April Fools' prank ever.

[BDawg]

Is it wrong that I liked the Mr. T and Chuck Norris cartoons more than half the stuff that usually airs on Adult Swim?

[Mr. Manager]

Darn it. I missed it all last night.:sad:
