    Spectrum should have never gotten rid of FXX. Maybe then Adult Swim would have faced actual competition, and maybe even faced consequences for their increasingly stupid decisions.

    Remember when FXX was beating AS in 2022? Good times

    It was Disney's pressure on Spectrum to drop FXX and several other channels as exchange for free ads supported Disney+ to all subscribers.

    When cable TV declines further, Disney don't care about cable channels anymore, and it is unlikely for FXX to aid with competition in long run.

    It's more Disney had to listen to their true bosses, the NFL, whom they've bent backwards for before many times, NFL wanted Monday Night Football on the air in New York on the night of the Jets and the big Aaron Rogers starting for the Jets (oops). They had to cut something to get Spectrum to get NFL on TV by the night. Could have just lowered the price, but ok then.

    But At Least Spectrum Signed a deal with Paramount before their channels were taken off their system

    I’ve come to a realization. With Superman, Unicorn, Checkered Past, and now Invincible Fight Girl, Adult Swim is straying away from their mission of being adult-only animation, one that’s even in their NAME, to get more advertisers.

    The exact reason why CN Real existed.

    well, go blame the amounts of teen titans go reruns for giving adult swim a boost

    To be fair, it’s not TTG’s fault, but I do agree that the schedule surrounding TTG is what killed CN for a lot of people.

    I don't get it. I have no problem with it. Not sure what you mean by Adult-Only animation. Adults (and teens) have watched shows that were targeted younger for years. Gravity Falls, for example. It's good this company figured out that and if they want to market towards adults then do it, if it gets money to keep shows from dying. Good. Called Adult Swim, yeah adults can also enjoy My Adventures with Superman.

    Hot take: Michael Ouwleen is just as bad a CN president as Christina Miller was, if not worse

    TBF, Ouweleen isn't the reason for why things are going the way they are on Cartoon Network.He's actually been trying to keep the network afloat with Zaslav currently making a mess of the company.It'd be the same problem even if we had a different person running Cartoon Network.Plus, we do have better variety on the schedule than the Miller era & the Checkered Past block & Teen Titans Go isn't being spammed anymore.

    @Stumpos You're right it's not Ouweleen's fault that WBD has been such a mess right now, but it is his responsibility for feeding Adult Swim up on a silver platter, leaving CN starving to death.

    been thinking about those moves and additions adult swim made recently (getting superman, unicorn, checkered past, an aqua teen revival, and 5-8 pm). The character limit will choke me but I have a whole theory that this was all a way to better compete with FXX when their existing major shows had either switched sides or were in jeopardy

    If Weigel were to announce Toony TV becoming a channel, this upcoming Monday would be the time to do it.

    If it becomes reality, I'm wonder about Frndly and Philo would add it soon after launch or wait more than a year like they did with MeTV+.

    I do know Weigel owned stations are definitely carry it but I'm wonder about non-Weigel stations.

    AOSTH at least has no delusions or pretentions about what it is. SatAM along with a ton of other Sonic media expects me to take a blue cartoon rodent with Mickey Mouse gloves and red sneakers very, very seriously. Sonic needs to figure out its tone.

    I’m okay with taking Sonic SOMEWHAT seriously, though not SUPER seriously. Action-comedy is what I’m aiming for.

    The Sonic fan base deserved Shadow the Hedgehog (aka Ow the Edge) for hyping up how dark and intense SatAM was.

    hot take: i like the DiC mario cartoons, especially super show. Not exactly accurate or even good, but man, are they fun.
    Tacomaster
    I think given their perphiary demographic and the fact that kids aren't really watching cable anymore, I think CN should shift gears to the young adult market- but NOT by pandering to nostalgia and giving everything to Adult Swim.
    Tacomaster
    hot take: since i’m hyperfixating on syfy’s early history at the moment, i should let you know that i don’t hate the syfy name and understand the reasoning behind it. you can’t simply trademark “sci fi”, but you can trademark “syfy” and keep the name recognition by having it pronounced the same.

    Adult Swim definitely seemed cooler when it was a secular adults only block that only aired during the late night hours. Now that CN is defining "Adult" as "anyone over the age of 10" and is running while the kids are still up, the block has lost it's edge and the name is now meaningless.

    It’s had its rough patches for 15 years ongoing. Only in these past few years has the fabric turned inside out that much to where their identity is just gone. But it’s already been eons since the channel was ever worth watching all the way through. I don’t miss how hard they were forcing Childrens Hospital to be a thing.

    As someone who is not a big fan of Adult Swim, I have to agree with you.

    had to factory reset my ipad to free up some space. At the very least had a backup from August, and some stuff in my iCloud, so it’s not a total reset.

    That happened to my old iPad in the past and they are slow as hell to update and they have weird system that take much of data.
    Tacomaster
    Hot take, Adult Swim needs to lay off the Fox shows. I get that they bring in the ratings, but any business model that revolves primarily around something the company doesn’t exactly own and is just borrowing isn’t a good business model and it needs changing.

    Exactly. If I had my way, AS wouldn't even start until 10PM.

Watched Toy Story 5 today. It felt like another awesome escapade for the characters, while also they taught an important lesson: it's ok to be different, especially if you still like to play with toys. Lily turned from an antagonist to a hero of the movie, because of realising exactly that.

Going offline until further notice. David Ellison has won. I’m seeking therapy permanently rather than quitting life. Take care everyone. Once I leave the world into the void, I hope my life is better.
