PLEASE... PLEASE... keep weeknight Bugs & Daffy at 11pm. Even though they have that morning 1-hour block (which I hate for many reasons), a cancellation of the 11pm show might mean rare cartoons at 3am. And trash the rare Tom & Jerrys! It's gotten to the point where The Little Orphan is overplayed!

I decided to post this in the same thread: 10pm is a little early for adult programming. If I really wanted to (which I don't) I could watch the first half-hour. I am sure many 17-year-olds could stay awake until midnight no problem...






I am not 17, mind you.:p

I think that 12am thru 3am would be an excellent time slot for "Adult Swim", and from some early results from my poll, is that 100% of cartoon fans would want to see PIC cartoons instead of brand new animation.
But I think that mixing (the old & new) it up would be a good thing, and save the best for last...of course, the classics, like maybe, have (just as long Jerry Beck does the show) a PIC adult verison of "Toon Heads".

To me, that would be a totally great thing for cartoon buffs!!!!

I chose 11 to 2, but in all honesty, I really wouldn't mind any time between 3 and 3.

I like Nelson's Toon Heads idea, a classic cartoon show full of un PC stuff, as well as commentary would be fantastic, and goes well with an idea Amid Amidi talks about on his Animation Blast site.

I also wouldn't mind some Cinemascope Tom and Jerry, would that be okay for at least one episode? I know it isn't un-PC, but some of the horrible pan and scan jobs they show on T&J ruin the cartoons, plus they could show "Good Will To Men", which has never played on CN (to my knowledge).

Compared with the Tom & Jerry cartoons that CN usually airs... I sure wouldn't call "The Little Orphan" overplayed (compared with, ohhhh say, anything with Little Quacker :p ).
