Thank You CN, for another crappy line-up!

[FadedOne]

Well, I am ticked off mainly because of Samurai Champloo only being on wed.

FMA was only bumped up one hour. Apparently it is the thrd top rated show on AS now instead of top-rated.

No actually i'm talking about their weekday lineup. It's doing weird things now. FMA is only on Saturdays with the new episodes(i'm still trying to catch up due to college. bah)

[RedMage]

Red Mage: Well, you brought it off topic.

No, I merely commented on a subject that had already been raised. As indicated by the end of my previous post, however, I realized that the entire discussion was beside the original point of the thread, and thus should probably be dropped.

[uc pseudonym]

The Boondocks tangent has run its course. There should not be a need for it to be mentioned again.

I LOVE the new Opening for GITS!!!!! *sighs*

So far I have no real opinion about it, but I'm not as fond of the song. However, I have seen fairly little of this show. Hopefully it will have a tighter plot arc than the original series, with the same effective presentation.

CN are idiots. *annoyed*

I think they'd probably direct you to profit charts.

[Nate]

uc's right. As I stated before, CN does what gets them the most ratings. Keeping shows on that give them bad ratings would force them out of business. Then they wouldn't be on TV at all.

So I'd say doing something that gives them more money hardly makes them idiots.

[Sami_jane]

its not that bad but like you i havent seen much of it....

[FadedOne]

I suppose that makes the viewers idiots then, right? The people who boost the profits of sucky entertainment. *shakes head*

i'm just feeling vehement about the loss of good programming. Granted, I shouldn't even care. We get all of 3 (local) tv channels at college, LoL. sad, i know.

[lsstatic]

whats wrong with you people is it just me or am i the only one that likes the boondocks..thats the best show on AS in my point of view...u see family guy u see south park...but when boondocks comes in u lock your door...hmm some people dont say they are rascist but...thier actions proves wrong..and yea the creater is black...hes telling the hard truth about races.politics. if u dont like it dont watch.....but i will every sat night

[Nate]

I'd like to respond, but in keeping with uc's wishes, I'll stay silent.

*tries to think of how to explain it*

Okay, let's say you're having a bake sale. Let's say that you have 100 Rice Krispies Squares, 100 chocolate chip cookes, and 100 oatmeal raisin cookies. Let's say when the bake sale is over, you have 10 Rice Krispies Squares left, 40 chocolate chip cookies, and 80 oatmeal raisin cookies.

When the next bake sale rolls around, will you be more likely to make more Rice Krispies Squares or oatmeal raisin cookies? Is it profitable for you to make a lot of something that doesn't sell well?

Do you see my analogy?

While there are viewers that like shows that CN has cancelled, ultimately it was the shows that had the least viewers...the oatmeal raisin cookies of CN. They only have limited space for their bake sale goods, so they have to make room for more Rice Krispies Squares, since those sell WAY better.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say, or did I hit way off mark? ^^;;

LOL....well that's officially the first ecomics analogy to make me very hungry.

But yea, I get your point. I actually understood it previously(though i must say i'm glad for the analogy regardless! XD)

I realize that CN has to promote what people watch and what people gravitate towards. Hence why i called the viewers 'idiots' - yes i know..overly harsh, but still - because CN has to cater to what i would consider poor taste. But that is subjective i suppose. I just wish that more people had similar anime tastes to my own so that I didn't have to deal with (imo) poor choices.

I just wish it didn't have to be an issue of catering to the masses. After all, that's what the Emperors of Rome did back in the day, and we all know that all that bloody gladiating wasn't exactly good clean fun.

#1 The word is racist. Not rascist.
#2 UC, a Mod, asked that the Boondocks issue be dropped, yet you decided to take the debate further. You will find it profitable to listen to the staff on this site.
#3 Should you decide to continue this debate, I can start "telling the hard truth" about strikes on this site.

[Mikomi]

I just wish Inuyasha, FMA, and Samurai Champloo wouldn't come on so late. Usually I miss them because I fall asleep. But tonight I will fight to stay awake! Must...watch....Inuyasha....*snores*

[rocklobster]

And while we're at it, Why does CN keep reviving FLCL? They've played that to death. Why not bring back something we haven't seen in a while, like Wolf's Rain, Blue Gender, or Kikaider (am I the only one who liked this one)? Or they could start up the replay of Paranoia Agent. They haven't done that either.

[Tommy]

Agreed. I think sooner or later AS will only be American-Made comedies since those make the most money as we`ve seen.

[ChristianKitsune]

Hey, they didn't take the shows off... at least SC and IY still come on! ^_^; NEW EPISODES EARLIER IN THE WEEK!!!! And you complain?!!!

How hard is it to record something?

AS will change evenntually..just be patient...oi ve...-.-

[Doubleshadow]

Agreed. I think sooner or later AS will only be American-Made comedies since those make the most money as we`ve seen.

I would not like that outcome but I suspect it has a good chance of coming to pass. Most of the people who I talk to who watch AS prefer the American cartoons. I quit watching American made adult-oriented cartoons altogether some years back; they tended to be an appeal to the lowest common denominator, and I prefer not to watch any media like that. I wonder though, do the animes make up the difference in viewership through merchandizing?

[uc pseudonym]

That is a possibility. In some ways it would make things easier for me, in that I could simply ignore Adult Swim instead of having to consider its schedule.

However, I somewhat doubt anime will be completely removed from the channel unless anime fans all switch to some other method of viewing the various series. While they receive more money from American comedies, it isn't necessarily beneficial for them to remove anime across the board. Perhaps they have statistics that indicate that anime fans are willing to stay up rather late, whereas they need earlier times to catch more fickle viewers.

Shut up no mod never spoke to me and if i get a strike i get a strike....dont threaten me all u had to say is the subject have been droobed instead of being a cow and a noob about...

[Nate]

1. uc pseudonym IS a mod. That's why his name is BLUE. You DO know what color blue is, right?

2. He wasn't threatening you. The rules state very clearly if you break a rule, you get a strike, and he was reinforcing it.

3. I SUGGEST you edit your post because Ark IS a mod. And being rude to mods is NOT the way to do things.

Just like kaemmerite said. You can either settle down and shut up, or I'll be happy to show you the door forcibly. And in case there's any ambiguity about that, it means banned. That's three mods telling you, now.

...well if he is a mod then i just get a strike..or 2 strikes....never did anything bad on site or anything but he still shouldnt came to me like that..even if he is a mod or not...he could of wrote me personaly saying plz edit post or something..the way he said that wasnt friendly so how am i supposed to take it.. huh...iam not mad or anything just how he said that threw me off...hmm as for me editing the post..since he is a mod iam sure he can just erase it..or the person who made this can do it also...

[shooraijin]

Let's get back on topic.

[blue elf]

I don't really mind the schedule change. It just means I have to record Samurai Champloo and Inuyasha and watch them on a different day because of work and college. I'm just glad I still get to watch FMA on Saturdays. ^^

[ChristianKitsune]

Didnt' someone say that FMA was number 3 when it comest to ratings? THAT'S NOT BAD!!

[mitsuki lover]

I would perfer an all anime Saturday night as there was no need to change it the way they did.As far as it goes until it is returned to an all anime Saturday night line up on AS I will continue to do what I did last week and change the channel to Toon Disney and watch The Tick and X Men.At least The Tick and X Men are true quality shows.
Also at least the comedies that AU has aired in the past month are funny.Cromartie High maybe weird but it is also funnier than most of the 'comedies' on AS.
The Tick is even funnier than the majority of the 'comedies' on AS.
As far as it goes I am rather pessimissitic that AS will continue to show Inuyasha after it runs it's course.And I fear that instead of Escaflowne or another high quality
anime series they will end up replacing it with another junky' comedy'.Then again what can you expect when one of the new executives used to work at Carsey-Warner?
When this happens I will be happy that I have started collecting anime DVDs.

[uc pseudonym]

It isn't. However, at one time it was #1, so its current position indicates slowing popularity.

[Tommy]

The Tick...good times.

Yes, FMA used to be number one at the same time the manga selled lightning fast.

[ChristianKitsune]

It isn't. However, at one time it was #1, so its current position indicates slowing popularity.

What's it being beaten by?

still, it could only mean that it still has it's popularity, but just more watch the others.. I know there are some shows that I watch as well..thus adding to the number of people that watch the other shows, thus making it's popularity go up too..if it's already popular....than it's ok! ^_^

At least it wasn't doing as bad as Trigun the last time through...

[Tommy]

Boondocks and Stroker and Hoop are the top 2 shows with FMA right behind it.
