As of March 27, the Monday-Thursday "Adult Swim" block will begin at 10:30 p.m. instead of 11 p.m., and run through 5 a.m. The expanded block will kick off with an hour of Futurama episodes from 10:30-11 p.m. Monday-Thursday, followed by a rotating lineup of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and The Boondocks.

The Friday 11 p.m.-6 a.m. "Friday Night Fix" block of fan-favorite "Adult Swim" episodes will remain intact, and the Saturday "Adult Swim" block will continue to begin at 10 p.m.

The expansion of "Adult Swim" comes amid a big push to add original and streaming video content to the Adult Swim Web site, including behind-the-scenes podcasts and programs posted online for on-demand viewing.
An hour of futurama every day? Color me excited.

Yes, and they cancelled/didn't renew Justice League Unlimited. CN can eat me.

That's great, I thought it was done.

To be fair, JLU was part of Toonami, not Adult Swim.

As much as I like anime I'm getting pretty tired of it as well.....Full Metal is great but I don't like how they show a bunch of episodes and then replay the same 10 episodes over and over and over.

Plus I would like to never see Cowboy Bebop on CN ever again.....don't get me wrong....I love the show....probably my favorite anime.....but enough is enough.

Anime should be on saturday night only.....leave the other nights for original programing.

And The Boondocks is the best thing going right now.

Squidbillies and the one with the kid with a combover are so very horrible, and yet such little work was obviously put into them. Enough of these crap flash cartoons, and that goes for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2020, too.

Aqua Teen is about the only show out of that whole lot of low budget stuff I can tolerate. The Squidbillies, 12oz mouse, Super Milk Chan and the like are all so horribly unwatchable that it makes it hard for me to even give any of their new stuff a first try. Im obviously in the minority though since the "comedy" block gets such higher ratings than their other stuff. Though Im not sure how much of that consists of Futurama/Family Guy and how much is the AS originals.

i agree, adult swim really is getting very experimental, especially the willis/mailleiro combo behind aqua teens. everything done after aqua teens has been pretty shitty though, although I think AS has earned the ratings to be able to experiment with this shit. I imagine things will even out over the next year.

For every robot chicken, they have 3-4 12 oz mouses.

I'm glad they added Venture Bros. to the Sunday lineup. I had missed most of the eps during their original run, so I can catch up now.

If you like 12 oz. Mouse, you need to be slapped upside the head. It's like they locked 2 people in a room with nothing but high-grade marijuana, coffee, soda, and a computer. Then they told them to make a cartoon. I hate that crap.

Squidbillies is goddamned funny. The ONLY good thing about 12 oz. Mouse is the opening theme song. Other than that, terrible. What a waste of Old Kentucky Shark.

And as far as I'm concerned, Robot Chicken lost steam pretty fast. The first three eps were great, but the jokes got a little stale after that.

And Brock Samson (Swedish Murder Machine) is the best use of Patrick Warburton since The Tick.

They posted their new schedule last night in a bump, and I didn't see that Futurama was on for an hour. I saw that it comes on at 10:30, and that's it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Squidbillies is alot funnier than I thought it would be, but the real travesty is they keep marketing Stroker and Hoop as a comedy. In the immortal words of Rainier Wolfcastle, "It's NOT a Comedy!" Hopefully that show is gone already and this post is meaningless, because I'd like to keep up my streak.

The new season of Venture Brothers cannot come fast enough.

I feel compelled to defend Stroker & Hoop, at least a little bit. I didn't like it at first either, but then about halfway through it's season was the very funny episode where they were hypnotized into doing porno movies (SACKFLASHERS!!!) and from there it just kept getting better.
