Where'd you get the Family Guy rating from?

They may very well be pondering whether to put IBO at midnight. I myself am just not feeling this Jojo (in fact its the only thing still sitting on my DVR unwatched from last week), I wonder if more of the casual audience feels the same. I enjoyed the first season well enough, I don't know why I can't get into this one . I wonder what AS will do if the 8:30 Super continues to uptick and starts getting close or beating the 11:00 PM airing? I really wish they could just use it to anchor some kind of mini Toonami block along with something else suitable and use the rerun farther down the later block. Oh course we will wait and see what Family Guy did at 10:30 to get the full picture.

They need to keep it at a consistent time for at least 6 months to a year to regrow that audience. The start time has changed 4 times this year already

I'm sure that if they see it as a problem and they have something that will do better, they'll make the move. The question is, if not Jojo, what should air after DBZ? Is there anything in he current lineup, or would they need a new show? I hope its not one of the situations where they have a timeslot commitment and they CAN'T move it.

I wouldn't sweat it. It's not like it's going to be a trend . The network will judge it in context.

For sure they will. Especially by Saturday, it was on every TV. A lot of people also evacuated or will called in to work (health care, national guard, and EMS workers) and were away from their TVs

Just a heads up guys, there will be some ratings delays as Nielsen is located in Oldsmar, Florida (right down the road from me actually) and they evacuated due to the hurricane. http://adage.com/article/media/florida-storm-irma-indefinitely-delays-nielsen-ratings/310421/ So we won't be partaking in our usual discussion for a few days probably.

Exactly, personal taste doesn't dictate show quality either. I'm not into Jojo or Tokyo Ghoul but I understand why other would be. That's the point of Toonami, you would hope that out of the now 10 shows (even if 2 of them are Dragonball shows) they show a week, there is something for you to enjoy.

Yeah, what I basically meant was that just seeing numbers that low triggers worry just because of what we were used to seeing. You guys said it perfectly on the podcast. This is just what Toonami can do without the huge lead in that we used to get. If comedy was getting close to 2 million viewers and we were seeing those kind of numbers it wouldn't be good! Look at these ratings for instance from March of 2013 http://sonofthebronx.blogspot.com/2013/03/adult-swim-ratings-march-11-17-2013.html At the time Family Guy was at 10 like it is now (and was doing -1.8 million on a Saturday at 10:00), but it was followed by Boondocks and Black Dynamite( which were only doing 1.1-1.2 million) which sort of kneecapped where Toonami started the night off. At that point cable was doing a lot better overall. Take into account cable and Family Guys's decline and things become a lot clearer.

We are inclined to feel a certain way I suppose because a few years ago, these numbers would not even be close to OK. We got the block cut for better numbers than this.

They really need to. Super isn't edited to kids standards so why is it in a slot for kids to watch?

We'll see. I think Toonami is expanding because comedy isn't really doing much better on either end. Plus they made a big deal about EXPANSION We may just shift and go later

Just st so everyone knows, they fixed the Titan episode so this week Episode 6, "Warrior" is playing and the run will proceed as normal.

I don't know. They just made a big deal about EXPANSION.,

Is it HD? That would officially make Trigun a Toonami show

I wonder how many kids avenues TOEI shopped it around to before settling for AS. They still believe in the power of a TV deal so I doubt streaming was ever a consideration for them

I know right ? Why the smoke and mirrors for this? Something has to be happening with the Titan thing. They just announced an expansion so SOMETHINGS gotta happen with that. If Titan is skipping to the end, then we should get some other classic at 3:30 the next week. It can't be anything new in that timeslot obviously

I don't think at 3am it matters anymore. We may even go back to 6 hours at this rate.

Yeah I don't see why that has to be so hush hush. It's just dragging out something they have in their library. No more different than a classic AS show popping up on the grids. I guess.. the power of an announcement

That's great... the Super deal that gives the distributor all the power and kneecaps Toonami's ratings every week. Money well spent I think we are heading back to the all night thing again. Big O will probably replace Titan and then in the fall the block will shift back to 11:30 or midnight and it'll go into 5 This is also keeping with the "classics" thing AS is doing on the other nights if the week

So we're getting Bebop at 3:00 am and Toonami is expanding to 4. That's what they were hiding

People were asking for Jojo and Ghoul in 2015. They may have done better then. Once the hype dies down don't pick something up just because it's on the request backlog.

You are 100% dead on. Its time for Toonami to make hits out of the unknown again. It won't always work, but its better than these shows that are late to the party so to speak. Start raiding the simuldub closet guys! There are some great shows out there that Toonami could actually help get wider exposure.
