Schedule update - American Dad returns, 5AM retro hour is back, etc.

[Daikun]

Since D Dubbs' thread from yesterday failed (Thanks, forum shutdown! You really lighten our days. :)), here's what he probably would've reported.

AS' schedule (http://www.adultswim.com/schedule) updated all the way through January 2008. Here are the many changes we should expect:

November 4: Metalocalypse season 2 continues at 11:45PM, then Xavier: Renegade Angel premieres right after.

November 9: Dark Place premieres on Fridays at 11PM.

November 10: The 5AM retro hour returns! Voltron Inuyasha and new Astro Boy will be airing in that hour 7 nights a week.

November 18: Tim & Eric season 2 premieres at 12:15AM.

November 22: Thanksgiving special (nothing specified).

December 3: Eureka 7 returns on weekdays at 1:30AM.

December 10-17: Six new episodes of Crayon Shin-chan air on weekdays at 12:30AM.

December 17-20: Christmas specials at midnight. (Dec. 21 is empty... Hmmmm...)

December 24: All night Christmas specials.

December 25: Astro Boy marathon.

December 26-31: Adult Swim finally waves goodbye to Futurama with a special marathon, featuring all 72 episodes.

January 1: Marathon of pilots.

January 5: ????? (11PM left blank.)

January 6: American Dad returns on Sundays at 10PM.

December 3: Eureka 7 returns on weekdays at 12:30AM.



D Dubbs can die in peace now.;) Although Daikun, Eureka 7 starts at 1:30 AM, not 12:30.

[Daikun]

Thanks for the catch. I didn't notice that.

Fixed.

[Speedy Boris]

Yay for American Dad! I haven't seen those episodes nearly as much as I have Family Guy, so it'll be great to revisit them.

A curious absence of both IY and Bleach. That schedule seems to be quite a bit more mature than usual though.

It's about dang time they played American Dad again.

And here I thought E7 would never get a weekday slot. Good to know it will be getting one.

[Kitschensyngk]

DARK PLACE ON FRIDAYS: More live-action? Like father, like son, I guess.

SHIN CHAN SEASON 1 CLOSING OUT: I wondered when they'd get to that.

EUREKA SEVEN, AMERICAN DAD BACK ON THE SCHEDULE: FINALLY!

ASTRO BOY IN THE GRAVEYARD SLOT: Crap. And I was really getting into it too.

SUSPECT PLANS FOR THANKSGIVING: I smell a marathon.

[PC!]

It's great to see American Dad back. Why'd they up and quit playing it in the first place?

A shame to see Futurama go. Admittedly I'm not the biggest Adult Swim watcher, but it won't feel the same without it.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Glad to see American Dad back. A shame it isn't running on weeknights, though. It'd make more sense than double Family Guy 3 nights a week.

Glad Eureka gets reruns.

It's great to see American Dad back. Why'd they up and quit playing it in the first place?

My theory as of late had been that they decided to hold it back so they'd have a fresh replacement for Futurama in the first hour of weekday Adult Swim (i.e. instead of Futurama/Family Guy, it'd be Family Guy/American Dad), but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

I don't know much about Dark Place, but I do love British comedy, so I'm not too disappointed about it. I'm VERY happy Shin Chan is coming back, and disappointed Tim and Eric is coming back (I loved their first show, but this one is just...yeah). I told you all that American Dad was coming back, here's to you, believers! Now I'm just waiting for the following:

Bleach
The Venture Brothers
Frisky Dingo
The Rest of Lucy Daughter of the Devil

[Master Moltar]

My Thoughts...

Overall - The 5 PM hour returns? Looks like the old-school hour was doing well (or at least better than the 2 AM stuff). Voltron and Astroboy 7 days a week.

Saturday - Looks like they haven't got anything set for 11 PM in January. They may be holding out that slot to see if new Bleach will be ready by then. If it's still going to be comedy though, then I'll guess American Dad or Robot Chicken.

Sunday - Futurama hour replaced by AD and another FG. Can't believe they waited until Futurama was gone to bring back AD. They should of had it on Sundays at 10:30 for a while after Futurama for a smoother transition. Oh well, AD will still probably do decently.

Weekdays - Knew about double FG and Venture (Fridays), and it isn't too surprising. Big change is Inuyasha's leave. It was listed on the leaked schedule, so I wonder what happened since then. Cool to see Blood+, TB and E7 get full runs, and also nice to see more Shin Chan on the way.

[R. Escobar]

About time we get our F&%#^*^*$^#$@#$(%^@^ AMERICAN DAD SYNDICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[D Dubbs]

Actually, I wasn't nearly as detailed. :sweat: Nice job on the list.

D Dubbs can die in peace now.

Oh, yes. Seeing Eureka 7 back on the schedule totally made my day.

Cool to see American Dad back. Though, it doesn't seem like AS is too confident in their scheduling after the New Year (hence, all the blank spots on the schedule), so I think anything could happen with it.

[Light Ichigo]

I see a typo on there, its says "Coltron 52".

[Taylor Karras]

Seems like American Dad will finally bridge the gap that Futurama left.

Eureka 7. Wow...

[Dracula_Marth]

Wait, where did this Dark Place come from? I was somewhat aware of Xavier, but where did this Dark Place come from? and don't say Britan. I meant, how did they get it and schedule it without anyone knowing?

[email2003]

So Bleach a no show? Hope it comes back in the Spring.

Was there any news on new Aqua Teen this year!?

[Sketch]

I see a typo on there, its says "Coltron 52".

Actually I think they snuck in a reference to the Japanese series (1 of a few) that became Voltron.

Actually, they did. They put on their ASV schedule a few weeks ago. (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=199435)

Oh, and Britain. :p

[Stuckey]

Hooray for a second season of Tim & Eric!!!

I'll probably watch some of that Astro Boy marathon (once the A Christmas Story marathon ends).

It'll be weird to see Futurama go. But, despite it being my favorite show, I'm sure I'll cope. American Dad is a fine replacement.

[Draft]

Saturday:

-Whatever, No real chages. I'm going to expect Boondocks premires will move to 11.0 by 2008..

Sunday:

-Why does Chicken take a 3 week hiatus to air 1 ep? Wait, it's prolly the XMAS special nvm

-Tim and Eric is usually a disprovement(that is an awesome word) to trhe schedule, but when you are replacing Lucy, it is a huge improvement.

-With the possible exception of Dark Place and the occassional exception of Boondocks and Tim+Eric, AS Video will be dead to me after December(With the exception of the RC ep)

-AMERICAN DAD RETURNS: YA BABY!! But 10PM? Seems liek they would give it 11.5, especially with replacing what was there with crap(Tho STHF prolly has some more eps to air soon, and i bet so does Squidbillies). But 10PM does make sense..

-ATHF and Squids return in place of RC and Metal, Boo

Weekdays:

-I can't keep track of this schedule anymore.. Too much interchangign going around in the first 3 slots. Wouldn't it be easier to make it this?

M:

11.0 Family Guy
11.5 Boondocks(p)
12.0 Boondocks

T-Th:

11.0 FG
11.5 Futurama(FG in Jan, but i'm not ruling out American Dad)
12.0 [as] original 1 and 2

F

11.0 FG
11.5 Dark Place(Venture in Jan)
12.0 [as] original 1 and 2(Venture in Jan)

-Shin Chan premires = Da Bomb. Only 6 though?

-Hooray, Astro Boy is burned off!!

[Kitschensyngk]

-Shin Chan premires = Da Bomb. Only 6 though?

Season one's not over yet. There are six episodes left.

Wonder how long it'll take to catch up?
Why don't we run New Shin-Chan at 12:30 PM Weeknights.

[Daikun]

Why don't we run New Shin-Chan at 12:30 PM Weeknights.

That's because 12:30PM doesn't take place at night; it takes place in the afternoon. :p

And they're also still in the process of working on Season 2. Thankfully FUNi and its writers aren't with the Writer's Guild(Though one of the Shin writers supports the strike and was in the picket line), so even if the strike goes on and Futarama and the FOX animated shows get affected, we'll still have new episodes of Shin to look forward to.

Althoguh The Simpsons has enough eps to last through 2008, and maybe even to get through the first part of 08-09
