[J'onn J'onzz]

I wonder if they'll really air the ATHF movie for april fool's day...

[Beat]

It's airing online now, I see no reason why not. Unless they're going to repeat last year's prank which reeks of laziness.

[delariean]

And the gauntlet has been thrown......:evil:

[Kitschensyngk]

Oh, sorry Swim, my new Friday schedule is full of Speed Grapher, Witchblade and the Grindhouse on IFC!

Action hating bastards... :P

[Kiryu]

Oh, sorry Swim, my new Friday schedule is full of Speed Grapher, Witchblade and the Grindhouse on IFC!

Action hating bastards... :P



Seconded! Speed Grapher really is turning out to be interesting and Witchblade is just fun to watch:D

[Vyse]

Oh, sorry Swim, my new Friday schedule is full of Speed Grapher, Witchblade and the Grindhouse on IFC!

Action hating bastards... :P

Agree, although mine is Speed Grapher and Witchblade on IFC, followed by waiting for The Soup to come on, and then The Soup on the E! network. If Shin debuted on Friday instead on Saturday, I would have watched it. Oh well. [awful scheduling]'s loss, Comcast's gain.

BTW, for those of you who want to know how [as] looks like in HD...
BEHOLD! STRETCH-O-VISION!

Saturday, March 22nd


Bleach: 457,000
Blood+: 339,000
Death Note: 336,000

:confused:


New: All

[Master Moltar]

What in the...

Where did THOSE kind of numbers come from? Wow anime

[Don_East]

YES!

Bleach is back to it's season 1 numbers.

[Demonic Raven]

Anime ownage!

Beautiful...all three anime premieres beat out the comedies, and with decent numbers to boot.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, March 23rd


Family Guy (11:00): 914,000
Chicken: 773,000
ATHF: 742,000

easter downtime?


Down: Family Guy (11:00) (x4), Chicken (x3)
New: ATHF

[Don_East]

What's the mighty Family Guy not breaking a million last week?

Tonight's ratings report just keeps getting better.

Rose, I could kiss you for posting this good news.

[Master Moltar]

Sunday continues to fall, I see.

[D Dubbs]

10 bucks says next week those anime numbers will be back to normal.

[The Collector]

10 bucks says next week those anime numbers will be back to normal.

If they are we'll know about it because they'll still probably be better than the comedy.

[MegaJ]

Woah at the anime numbers. What happened that Satuday to cause so many people to watch anime and skip out on the comedies?

[livingfruitvirus]

I don't know but remember when they would run the Futurama marathons? The highest rated were always the ones late into the night.

Also, for those of you who predicted the next Death Note episode correctly....

http://flash.101megahertz.com/saturday/24/

[Beat]

Saturday, March 22nd

Bleach: 457,000
Blood+: 339,000
Death Note: 336,000:confused:


New: All

Are you sure they didn't mean to say Venture Brothers when they said Death Note?

Oh, and my Friday Tivo session is the same as most of yours. Speed Grapher followed by Witchblade. (Used to be Fight Quest, Speed Grapher, and Witchblade, but the former show is over) Kinda the same way midnight tonight is an hour of Black Lagoon instead of Adult Swim.

[macattack]

Whoa, what a big ratings jump for Saturday and a drawdown in Sunday. What a weird weekend.

Of course, Sunday has the excuse because of March Madness but the Saturday jump, especially considering all three anime beat out the comedies, leaves me puzzled, especially since the anime had gotten progressively worse each week until just now.

I don't think I'll ever understand Saturday. Nice to see Bleach at its 1st season's level, at long last.

. . .

On second thought, methinks viewers tuned in just to see Yoruichi and Soi Fon.

[Mugen]

I'm actually more interested in seeing how the new-to-AS FG episode did on Monday. With Season 2 premieres of the Boondocks airing there and now the FG episodes, AS is probably trying to find other nights they can premiere new things and not have to stick it on Saturday/Sunday.

[Beat]

I still think FG on Monday is designed to cut Sci-Fi off before they can become a true threat to their block.

[jbanks97]

Wow to anime on Saturdays!

My best hypothetical guess.......

If anything cutting anime down to one night a week might have increased demand among the hard core??? (since it's now the one of the only ways to get their fix in)

Might this have been their (evil) plan all along???

[Zach Logan]

I hope the Bleach ratings get even better in the current weeks as the series hits its peak.

[D Dubbs]

I still think FG on Monday is designed to cut Sci-Fi off before they can become a true threat to their block.

Bah, at this rate, Ani-Monday will destroy itself. Who in the world would watch an hour of Tokko reruns?

Though...I have a feeling that you'd probably enjoy it, Beat. Lots of violence, girls and whatnot... :sweat:

[Master Moron]

10 bucks says next week those anime numbers will be back to normal.

Well, of course they will. They're changing the schedule without advertising it, like they always do. By the way, am I the only one who thinks Shin Chan makes a pretty lousy lead in? They tried Shin Chan on Saturdays before and it seemed like people avoided it.

You know what they should do? Put DeathKlok and Death Note back to back. They both have death metal openings so maybe viewers of Deathklok will stick around for Death Note. They can call it the Death Power Hour.

I don't know but remember when they would run the Futurama marathons? The highest rated were always the ones late into the night.

Also, for those of you who predicted the next Death Note episode correctly....

http://flash.101megahertz.com/saturday/24/

Uhhh...aren't those timeslots wrong?

[Vyse]

Fat Guy Stuck on the Internet.
On April Fools.

Screw it, I'm watching Grindhouse on Starz HD. (West Coast Feed)

[D Dubbs]

This is LAME. I hope they have something else in store after the episode.

[kaine23]

I'm confused and infuriated by this now.

[Duelist]

At first I thought this was some kind of stealth premiere or something, but then I remembered t was April Fools.


...Fat Guy is a lame ass show that shouldn't be being picked up by AS..

I honestly think my anime club today is going to do a much better prank. We're going to show the Bill Cosby movie Ghost Dad. =P

[Vyse]

Good News: [as] loves April Fool's and will continue to celebrate this day/night, whether it's anime or comedy.

I'll be flipping between this and Grindhouse on Starz West, because I want to see the fake trailers (mad they're still not out on DVD :mad: )

NOW: Venture Bros. unfinished rough cut of Ep. 28; new season debuts June 1st.

[Don_East]

Venture Bros rough cut. Sweet!

Which Grindhouse movie?

[Duelist]

They seem to be going for less of a "Fool" theme this year, and airing Sneak Peaks at new seasons instead..

Interesting.

[Zach Logan]

Over 70 people on, is my birthday that great?

[Vyse]

Which Grindhouse movie?
The full 3-hour movie that was shown in theaters (Planet Terror and Death Proof plus the fake trailers in the middle)

[D Dubbs]

They seem to be going for less of a "Fool" theme this year, and airing Sneak Peaks at new seasons instead..

Interesting.

More like very uncreative... :shrug:

[Duelist]

More Bad Live Action?

...........................................:shrug:

[SpaceCowboy]

What?!

[Vyse]

Without Futurama, April Fool's Day has become the 2008 [as] Upfronts.

Up now: Delocated, a live-action series about a family in Witness Protection who now got a reality series. Date is currently TBD.

EDIT: I like the joke(s) about why they are wearing ski masks and have those voice modulators/maskers surgically installed in them. Overall, I need moar time.

[Kitschensyngk]

Delocated's not doing it for me and we're only a few minutes in.

PFFR?! Seriously?!

[Vyse]

Delocated's not doing it for me and we're only a few minutes in.

PFFR?! Seriously?!
I was equally shocked that they had Paul Rudd in it. And killed him with an assassin's bullet. Loved what happened afterward with the reciting of his filmography and the conversation the assassin had on the phone.

EDIT: Superjail: Rough Cut. Complete with timecodes and a theme song that hasn't cleared legal!

[Duelist]

Now Superjail is actually awesome.

[kaine23]

Willy Wonka as the warden? Do want!

[Kazuya Prower]

SuperJail best preview ever!!

[Duelist]

Isn't this a cartoon network? :ack:

[Vyse]

NOW: Young Person's Guide To History, another live-action project premiering this October. At least it's a mini-series.

I believe this is the Tom Jefferson project mentioned in a bump. And may be a spin-off to Saul of the Mole-Men.

Speaking of, when's that show coming back?

[Kazuya Prower]

Please no more live-action....There's enough as it is.

[Duelist]

A guy drinking his own pee..

Who do you have to sock over at Williams Street to get them to realize that their awful live action shows aren't FUNNY!

Something tells me they are high on something, and it ain't life. Explains Assy McGee.

NOW: NEW Metalocalypse! "Deth Wedding" Complete Episode, too! New stuff resumes this May.

The New NOW: NEW Robot Chicken. New eps resume August 31st. Super Pets, GO!

Even NOWer: NEW Moral Orel. "Grounded" New eps resume on August 17th. Apparently four weeks before the infamous hunting trip, Orel gets grounded from going to church. Without church, Orel becomes a mixture of a drug addict and Gollum from LOTR.

[Duelist]

Eh, maybe they'll pull an actual "prank" tonight. Or air an episode of Code Geass =P (but likely not)

Edit: And now...untampered Family Guy? nothing funnier than that =P

[Beast_automaton]

In a way there is kind of a prank tonight, A prank against AS anime fans, AHH...look at all the new shows and episodes. Super jail was great by the way and that new episode of Metalocalypse was really kind of disturbing I still hope this isnt the last time pickles brother shows up. On a sadder note most of the live action wasnt so hot but hey what are you going to do?

[Kazuya Prower]

Highlights of the night:
-15-minute rough draft cut of the Venture Bros. season 3 premiere.
-SuperJail
-New Robot Chicken
-New Moral Orel

[Vyse]

I have to say that the new Moral Orel was the highlight of the night. If this is how the rest of the season will be (apparently, "Grounded" was part 2 of a 13-part arc), then we may have the best show [as] has this year. More on this after April Fool's Day.

BTW, the guy the Moral Orel ep was dedicated to was a blogger for TV Squad who wrote episode reviews for Orel, among other things, before his untimely death this past September. (http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/09/10/adam-finley-1977-2007/) As a regular reader of TVS, it's nice that they dedicated the most twisted ep yet to him, and he would have enjoyed it. [pouring a 40]

[Duelist]

So Instead of repeating the April Fool's Stunt they air the Aqua Teen Movie again.

Yay? o.O

Don't Talk, WATCH!!!

Edit: Also, am I the only one that is a little annoyed by that "We're never showing Brak again!" thing?

[Dracula_Marth]

I missed a Superjail preview to play Mercs? Dang

[J'onn J'onzz]

Man, I recorded this. How lame. That witness protection show was my least favorite. And I'm watching the Thomas Jefferson thing now. It's really stupid. What the hell, AS. STOP DOING LIVE ACTION. Damn. Have any of their live action shows been funny? I don't think I've liked a single one. And I don't hate live action by any means. It hardly even feels like April Fool's Day this year. Very few threads, a horrible Adult Swim lineup... which isn't anything new, but it's decidedly worse than Perfect Hair Forever with ridiculous subtitles. Though there was some good new stuff, it was in the minority.. and it wasn't April Fool's Day-like at all.

edit: Oh! For live action, Let's Fish! That was good. They should've picked that up.

[animePWNS]

Death Note
Light: Uh, Ryuzaki, the opening theme is over, you can unplug your ears now.
L: Oh, is that so? Thank goodness. Listening to that garbage makes me want to lose my dessert.
Light: I know, it sounds like Slayer in a blender.
L: Yes you're quite right; Raining Blood indeed.

Bleach
Tetsuzaemon: Huh, oh no, we’re all out of sake!
Ikkaku: Ah, what the hell do you mean we’re out of sake?! We wouldn’t be if you didn’t always hog more than your share!
Tetsu: Take it easy, it’s only natural that sake should disappear.
Ikkaku: Don’t make it sound like it just evaporated! It’s gone because you drank it all you big pig! Now we’ll just have to settle this the usual way!
Tetsu: Fine!
Both: SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL 99-MAN SURVIVAL MATCH!!
Tetsu: I'm playing as Link!
Ikkaku: I’m playing as R.O.B.!
Tetsu: R.O.B., that cheesy robot toy?! He’s worse than the Power Glove!
Ikkaku: WHAT?! You dare to mock the AWESOMENESS that is R.O.B.!?! He’s a GOD! Even more than that overrated elf kid! You think he’s soooo cool with that sword and arrows and other junk he carries around!
Tetsu: You’re right, I should use Mr. Game & Watch! One baldy against another!
Ikkaku: HEY!

Cowboy Bebop
Spike: So, you boys need something?
Adult Swim Employee 1: This show is cancelled.
Spike: What did you say?!
Adult Swim Employee 1: We're letting the rights to all our anime shows expire, including this one. No more anime.
Adult Swim Employee 2: If we didn't really believe it then we do now, “Anime is teh s uck.”
Spike: You think anime is teh s uck? You don’t know what TEH S UCK IS!!!

There's a reason I waited 'til today to post these.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

(If you need your fix they have a new rerun every week)

[FinnMacCool]

Wait a second, there were new episodes of Metalocalypse and Moral Orel last night?

What the hell!? Every TV Guide I checked said they were just playing the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie again.

[Vyse]

Wait a second, there were new episodes of Metalocalypse and Moral Orel last night?

Well, you just got April FOOL'D!
Now you have to wait until May for Dethklok and August for new Orel!

In terms of past April Fool's Day stunts go, however, this was pretty lame. Just like [as] since Futurama left.

[The Myst]

Can anybody list everything that aired?

[HG Revolution]

Quit your whining about live-action. Wasn't Adult Swim made to show it in the first place? I hate all these cartoons airing on Live-Action Network.

[Vyse]

Can anybody list everything that aired?
Sure:
Midnight - Fat Guy Stuck in Internet (New EP)
12:15 - Venture Bros (Unfinished rough cut of a Season 3 ep)
12:30 - Delocated (pilot; live-action series)
12:45 - Superjail (rough cut to a new ep)
1am - Young Person's Guide To History (live-action miniseries; pilot)
1:15 - Metalocalypse (New EP)
1:30 - Robot Chicken (New EP)
1:45 - Moral Orel (New EP)

[Aaron_bhkk]

I picked the wrong night to go to bed at 7 (honestly, I finally fix my sleeping schedule and this is what happens).

[Lutochris]

What was on in the 11:00 hour?

[HG Revolution]

What was on in the 11:00 hour?

One Piece.

[Kazuya Prower]

Can anybody list everything that aired?

11PM - Family Guy
11:30PM - Family Guy
12AM - Fat Guy Stuck In Internet (live-action)
12:15AM - 15 min. Rough Cut of Venture Bros. season 3 premiere (no sound effects and music)
12:30AM - Delocated (live-action)
12:45AM - SuperJail
1AM - (forgot title;live-action)
1:15AM - Metapocolypse (New)
1:30AM - Robot Chicken (New)
1:45AM - Moral Orel (New)

I might have the last three mixed up.

[Beat]

I wonder if they'll do anything tonight. Maybe they'll show an ad and then go "April Fools".

If that doesn't work, they could always send Death Note shaped lite-brites to Boston.

[FinnMacCool]

Well, you just got April FOOL'D!
Now you have to wait until May for Dethklok and August for new Orel!

In terms of past April Fool's Day stunts go, however, this was pretty lame. Just like [as] since Futurama left.
Well, I don't know what sort of savage customs they have in Atlanta, but where I come from April Fool's Day doesn't begin until dawn of April 1st.

[Draft]

Sure:

Good chance myspleen will have it in a day or so.

[J'onn J'onzz]

is anything new airing now

[shoujoaifan]

boobs


Wait. This is one of the real threads.

Uh, Reverse April Fool's?

[Kitschensyngk]

Are they not doing anything for April Fools?

No Aqua Teen movie in the corner of the screen, no dubbed fart sounds, no mustaches?

No sort of prank or trick or anything?

Teh disappoint.

[D Dubbs]

Yeah. This is shaping up to be one of the worst [as] April Fools' Day so far...

[shoujoaifan]

Are they not doing anything for April Fools?

No Aqua Teen movie in the corner of the screen, no dubbed fart sounds, no mustaches?

No sort of prank or trick or anything?

Teh disappoint.
Yesterday they showed all those pilots and unfinished episodes after 12:00, technically April 1st.

I'm a little disappointed about them not doing pranks on both post-12:00 and pre-12:00, like last year with post-12:00 being farts, Mr. T, Chuck Norris, and Super Ninja, and pre-12:00 the nest day being the ATHF movie.

But I not too disappointed, since we still got pilots and unfinished episodes. Half an new episode of Venture Brothers, Robot Chicken, and other stuff to hold us over until summer when they're finished.

[J'onn J'onzz]

Yeah, I think the reason this sucked was because it actually seemed like they were doing us a favor. On any other night, you guys would probably have liked this. But last night it was just some random previews, since they're not creative enough to think of a legitimate prank... and did Family Guy air at 11:00 yesterday? Because that's lame. I was hoping Tash was right and we'd get a real prank then.

(Also, last year wasn't the year with Chuck Norris. That was 2006. Last year was the Perfect Hair Forever marathon. Though you were right about the ATHF movie in the corner.)

It rhymes with "that duck" in case you're not sure :sweat:

Fullmetal vs. Flame is up on AS video. Any Roy Mustang fans (or just fight fans in general) should really check it out.
