Why don't they air the Amusing American stuff in the day, and the stuff like anime and Hong Kong Action movies at night.

The only anime they should get rid of is "Case Closed" - however, they NEED TO SHOW THE ANIME IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE W/SUBTITLES - except for "Cowboy Bebop," in which case the dub is better than the original. But they ruined FLCL when they dubbed it.
And also, I don't think an Adult Swim channel would be good. It's fine as it is (except for Case Closed.)

Well sir, there aren't enough shows currently on Adult Swim to fill an entire day's worth of time-slots, so if you want a 24-hour Adult Swim channel they'd have to add something, unless you want them to just show the same things over and over all day. If they brought back a lot of the anime previously shown on Adult Swim they might have enough shows to fill an entire day.

I understand that you (and many others) prefer subtitled anime to dubbed anime, and that's fine, but there's something that you need to understand: Subtitled anime will never be shown on television. Ever. People don't watch TV to read subtitles. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. And I like Detective Conan. It's a cute show.

An Adult Swim channel would suck, not only because there's not enough (comedy) programming to fill more than a few weeks, but it's almost certain that it would not be a basic cable channel, and that's all I have.

Then they renamed it Toonami and put utter shite on it.

They might not have the material for 24 hour broadcasting now, but it isn't that long ago that there were no 24 hour stations, I'm sure people back then thought there wasn't enough material as well.

Thank you DotheBartman, way to be positive.
Also, do you actually think they would tone down the anime, I mean, if they stayed the late-night thing, it would be nice to see the sunday night shows during the weekday, but if they did turn into a 24 hour thing, they would have time and it would be okay to have all the anime. Plus, if they were a 24 hour network, they'd be able to get more shows. And the censorship thing, the only reason I think that they have to be on late-night is because they air on a kids network, and kids shouldn't watch that kind of stuff, there are much worse things that an all day network could air than futurama and anime.

Originally posted by DotheBartman: I actually think this will happen eventually....just not quite yet. They still need to build up audiences a tad more, and gain a bigger backlog of programming. When they have enough cancelled/ended (but fondly remembered) shows in their backlog, there will a channel to show all of them. Their current backlog mostly consists of anime shows, so if such a channel existed it would basically just be an anime channel with a few non-anime shows. That's not a bad thing, in my opinion, but I don't know if that's what most folks around here would be expecting an Adult Swim channel to be. There's a Nicktoons channel, so there will be an AS channel. That's not really a fair comparison. I think that we're more likely to see a Cartoon Cartoon channel before we see an Adult Swim channel.

Agreed. The stuff on Adult Swim is pretty tame compared to a lot of live-action shows, and those get shown during the day on basic cable channels.

When you think about it, AS doesn't have a whole lot of programs that are not anime to be shown. Most of its half-hour programing is of cancelled network shows (Futurama, Family Guy, The Oblongs, Mission Hill). There's a finite amount of episodes for each, and some, like The Oblongs and Mission Hill, only have 13 episodes. They'll run through those shows fast.
As for the Williams St. stuff, most of those shows are too new and don't have the backlog of episodes necessary. I mean, I think there are only 20 Harvey Birdmans out there, and, at max, there are maybe 40 episodes of ATHF. If you show two a night each night, that's only 4 weeks of programing. Any AS channel would either need a lot more shows (which cost $$$) or rely on a lot more anime.

Yu Yu Hakusho is shown on Saturday nights, but not as part of the Adult Swim block. Originally posted by John Pannozzi: You think Space Ghost: Coast to Coast (the OLDER eps.), Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and Aqua Teen Hunger Force are crap? Man, I am losing respect for you. Actually, I liked the older episodes of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Those other shows suck, though. I have no interest in your respect.

Originally posted by Squeaky Really, I would rather have american dubbed voices anyday. Ugh, dubbed anime. Squeaky, have you ever sat and listened to that drivel? Or compared it to an actual translation? They ruin every joke and hire talentless VO's who can't emote to save their lives. And yeah, while [as] is the best programming on American telvision, period, they would need way more material to go 24-hours. And probably be a pay channel to get around S&P for basic cable.
