I heard someone complaining awhile back about Cartoon Network airing some live action things. What were they exactly?

There will come a day where Anime / Cartoon will not exist anymore on US TVs. They will only come out on DVD

If this is true, my only hope is that they go Sealab style, or MST3K style.

So first Cartoon Network drops JLU and then puts Saved by the Bell on Adult Swim?
Yeah, they really are idiots.

does Adult swim even have anything good on any more, despite Robot Chicken (and Futurama/Family guy reruns which I have seen too many times)?
It used to be the place for late night tv and a way to get introduced to various Anime titles for free. WTF? Saved by the bell isn't good enough for any channel.

This makes no sense...which falls right in line with CN as of late.

Didn't see anything about it on the website.
But did see that Aqua Team Hunger Force was coming to the theaters in the fall! Didn't know anything about that.

Almost a stupid idea such as putting Chuck Norries and the Karate Kommandos on Adult Swim which is a time slot mostly reserved for edgy programming and SBTB had nothing edgy about it.
Although there was that one time when Kelly broke up with Zack becaues she fell for her manager from work, man I couldn't sleep for weeks wondering if they would ever get back together.

I think they're going for sort of a "so bad it's good",unintentionally funny thing.
Ok, it airs April 17th. 6 episodes...back to back. What is the relevance of April 17th?

Saved by the Bell on adult swim? Well, it is a drinking game in college. When Slater says, "mama" take two shots.

Yup yup. 5 AM I think.
And I think the Saved By the Bell thing is for the current adults who watched it as teenagers. Just to make fun. It's why they had movies like The Goonies, Dumb and Dumber, and Batman come on. Do you really think kids today know this stuff? I asked these girls (16) if they knew who Ray Charles was and one said "the blind guy from the movie right?" and another didn't even know there WAS a movie..........*sigh*No wonder people think I'm a pedophile.:(

I hate Cartoon Network and Adult Swim. I saw that commercial after Robot Chicken, WTF?! Such idiots. They're like in all its Cheesy goodness, nobody wants that, especially AS viewers. Not me anyway. I knew that show was garbage even when I was a young Teen. *******!
CN has gone to crap, first they play live action movies, now they are playing that horrible show! I'm done!:mad: :down

you do realize that you can choose just not to watch that one show and still enjoy what you were before, right?

Robot Chicken actually harshly mocked Saved by the Bell and Dustin Diamond especially on Sunday, so I don't know what's going on.
Saved By the Bell was an okay show. I have no problem with it as long as it doesn't stick around too long, since we haven't had a new anime show in ages (apart from the upcoming Eureka Seven).

WTF? Man, Adult Swim used to be top pedigree but now it's turning to jism. Saved by the Bell? Push out the decent shows and bring in this crap, where the hell's the Anime worth a damn? The truly slap stick comedy? If it weren't for Stewie, Evil Lincoln, ATHF, and Inuyasha I'd be finished with this crap.

after the final episode of JLU, and boondocks is on hiatas for a few months, there isnt a reason to watch CN any more, boycott it
Abaddon
04-13-2006, 04:42 PM
when does the final JLU ep air?
Dorian Gray
04-13-2006, 04:50 PM
I haven't watch Adult swim in a while.....The Boondocks and the over abundance of anime doesn't interest me and the only shows I liked were ATHF, Robot Chicken and Harvey Birdman and they don't air that many new episodes..
I'm also interested as to why they would put something like Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura 2 on CN....arn't those movies a little "mature" for the early time slots they gave them? They even left in the end of Ace where they find out he boned the tribe's princess:confused:
Savage
04-13-2006, 04:52 PM
Eh. Way I see it, it's an inside joke. It's only airing for 2 weeks guys. Pay attention to the commercials and stop panicing so much. Maybe if you guys actually WATCHED the channel you'd know what's going on. So far I find the commercials hilarious because I haven't seen the show in a while and now that I have again it's the most retarded thing I've ever seen...If you can understand 12 oz. Mouse then you can understand what they're going for here.

Yeah, I think everyone is being far too overcritical of As. I kinda have to watch it; After five years, there's still two eps of Cowboy Bebop I haven't seen.

Which two, I had to track down the episode with Andy since the pulled it originally.
BTW, instead of having the name adult swim at the bottom of the screen, at least as of sunday night, it read "crappy 80's live action tv show network". I'm guessing the decision to put on Saved by the Bell was now a welcome one.

Man, I remember hearing they pulled it after 9/11, but they still haven't put it back into circulation? Lame.
I bought the original OOP box set a long time before AS came into existence, so I've always been able to watch Bebop at my leisure

No, it shows that this is a running gag (and you can't tell me last nights Saved By The Bell was not full on unintentionally lmao moments.:D).
