stream 2018 Weekly Streaming Archives
OwlChemist81 replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Looks like the stream is down... Edit: the stream eventually returned but Naruto did not advance. We've still got the same 5 episodes we've had all week. I really wish they would announce what they're doing with the Stream in advance. It's ALWAYS a surprise, and it doesn't HAVE to be. -

#11: The heroes are still under attack!! 11 PM TONIGHT -- ONLY TOONAMI!!! -
But that's doing gangbusters on weeknights and Sunday nights, and they probably get limited plays weekly. But that would totally work wonders for Toonami if it had an hour each of BB and FG as its lead-in. DBZ would be over a million almost every week and that would occasionally carry over to the later shows. I think 90% of Toonami's "failure" in the last 18 months has been its weak lead-in of an FG double-decker sandwich with an hour of Rick & Morty as the meat. Strengthen that and you strengthen Toonami! I don't personally care much for Bob's Burgers but it seems to be pretty popular and would make a great 8 PM lead-in. Bob's currently serves as a "book-ender" on Sunday nights at 9 PM and 5:30 AM (same episode); the only thing before it on Sunday nights is an hour of The Cleveland Show, but that's on the way out! Just remove it from Sunday and add it to Saturday at 8 and double up on the R&M on Sunday, is what I would say if losing Cleveland wasn't also an obstacle. More [as] original programming will soon be required on Sunday nights either way. As for Saturday night post-Toonami, quadruple R&M might work but I don't think that's ever aired in the 5 AM hour. It will be interesting to see what [as] does with that.

And it will be 11:30 PM! I think it's a foregone conclusion at this point that Toonami is expanding to 10 PM, with Dragon Ball Super kicking off the block, then MHA/AOT, then FLCL3. After all, [as] is losing The Cleveland Show so that should free up a spot. I'm hoping that the two Family Guys are re-united in the 9 PM hour because that would boost ratings, but the question remains as to what's tame enough to air in the 8 PM hour? Maybe DBZ Kai x2?

I think it's actually likely that they would air PREMIERE Naruto Shippuden at 8:30 and play something like Boruto instead on Toonami when Viz has the dub ready. Shippuden is an older show but it's doing relatively well, and it's SOOO LONG that if it got a weeknight run it would STILL be like a year and a half until we got to the end. Yes, episodes are still being dubbed, but they're REALLY close to the end, and it's quite frankly gotta be a thorn in Viz's side that they won't see the light of day until 2023 under the current status quo. These "5 Kage" episodes that are on Toonami right now DID play on Neon Alley when it was close to its absorption into Hulu. But I'd still say it's more likely that it starts with encores on weeknights and premieres on Toonami simultaneously. The question is, how far back can they go? They obviously still have the rights to the Pain arc, but I doubt they can go all the way back to the beginning. And whenever they hit that point, that would be the time to make the switcheroo and premiere Boruto on Toonami while premieres of Naruto Shippuden continue the continuity on weeknights. It's a delicate balancing act, which is why we'd probably be likely to see Black Clover on weeknights at 8:30 first instead. But I suppose Bo and Shippuden could just both air premieres simultaneously during Toonami if weeknights were given to reruns. http://programminginsider.com/thursday-final-ratings-snowfall-season-premiere-on-fx-scores-best-viewership-since-series-debut-telecast/ Sadly, unless there's a big showing tonight, it looks like Week 3 will end up falling short of Week 2. But at this point it would have to eclipse even Episode 5.

http://programminginsider.com/wednesday-final-ratings-code-black-finale-on-cbs-leads-prime-time-in-total-viewers-wins-hour-in-adults-25-54/ I can't believe Bob's Burgers gets 1.3 million viewers at 10:30 PM. That's what we need leading-in to Toonami. But Adult Swim is about to lose the Cleveland Show (to Comedy Central) next, so it will be interesting to see how they deal with this upcoming change. A 2nd Toonami show at 8:30 and an hour of American Dad at 9 just MIGHT be in the cards after all! And of course, since Cleveland leads-in to Family Guy on Saturday nights, what about that?
-
Well I'll be damned! If they're also losing the Cleveland Show (of all things, the worst show in the Fuzzy Door franchise), then that just might be an open door for other former Toonami shows to end up on weeknights! I'd say Attack on Titan, Black Clover, JoJo, and Shippuden are at least under consideration, as well eventually as maybe MHA and maybe even a Gundam Show! WELCOME TO THE NEW ERA! And farewell, Cleveland Show! Don't let the door hit ya in Tim's fuzzy ass on the way out!

A thought about Redemption arcs (DBZ related)
OwlChemist81 replied to mochi's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
In order to understand Piccolo, you have to understand Samurai mercenary culture. Piccolo was an assassin who was created to kill Goku, but after actually fulfilling that mission, he was free of that duty and was able to grow and develop his character to the point of being able to re-absorb his better nature in Kami, which he cast off. -
I believe they will be better. Nowhere near the first season, but perhaps most of the 2nd? MHA has pretty much failed at replacing DBZ Kai at this point--or has it? Is 400,000 the new million? Adult Swim's Fox comedies are STILL getting over a million at 10 PM on weeknights, as this proves: http://programminginsider.com/tuesday-final-ratings-mlb-all-star-game-on-fox-falls-to-record-lows/. So we really might be just in a down cycle. If ONLY Toonami could get those numbers at 10 (assuming expansion for FLCL3) and 10:30. It might take Family Guy x2 before it in the 9 PM hour, but that might not even do the trick. We've seen that Rick & Morty x2 on Saturday nights at 9 grows the audience from Family Guy at 8:30, but it grows it much too slowly. Hopefully if Toonami claimed its ultimate prize of 10 PM, that's what would precede it. The question would remain as to whether FG x2 at 9 PM is as effective as FG x2 at 11 PM was in 2015, but I believe it couldn't hurt. Rick & Morty doesn't need to be on Saturday evenings; it's at Midnight on weeknights and 11 on Sundays, after all. Plus it would probably still air after Toonami at 4 AM unless Toonami took over those slots too. Also, Dragon Ball Super's Friday the 13th performance has FINALLY been revealed, as well as Monday and Tuesday of this week. Oddly enough, thus far NOTHING on weeknights beats Episode 5! The better part of the Beerus battle is doing almost as badly as the beginning which happened over 4th of July weekend: Dragon Ball Super Weeknight Ratings Wk Ep Viewers HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 7/2/2018 1 #1 455,000 0.28 0.16 0.18 0.15 7/3/2018 1 #2 461,000 0.29 0.14 0.14 0.12 7/4/2018 1 #3 378,000 0.25 0.12 0.13 0.11 7/5/2018 1 #4 399,000 0.12 7/6/2018 1 #5 576,000 0.31 0.21 0.24 0.19 7/9/2018 2 #6 449,000 0.28 0.15 0.19 0.13 7/10/2018 2 #7 469,000 0.29 0.19 0.23 0.17 7/11/2018 2 #8 448,000 0.28 0.17 0.22 0.13 7/12/2018 2 #9 465,000 0.30 0.19 0.26 0.16 7/13/2018 2 #10 449,000 0.29 0.17 0.18 0.15 7/16/2018 3 #11 396,000 0.23 0.14 0.17 0.11 7/17/2018 3 #12 384,000 0.24 0.15 0.20 0.11 Rank (Across ALL Daily Cable Prime-Time) Ep P2+ HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 7/2/2018 1 #75 #77 #62 #39 #90 7/3/2018 2 #70 #69 #67 #37 #94 7/4/2018 3 #74 #63 #72 #37 #95 7/5/2018 4 >100 7/6/2018 5 #58 #69 #29 #7 #52 7/9/2018 6 #74 #76 #63 #35 #90 7/10/2018 7 #76 #79 #50 #20 #70 7/11/2018 8 #81 #82 #61 #23 #90 7/12/2018 9 #73 #74 #54 #11 #74 7/13/2018 10 #67 #68 #46 #20 #68 7/16/2018 11 #87 #89 #86 #40 #100 7/17/2018 12 #83 #85 #74 #35 #99 Dragon Ball Super M-F Weekly Avgs Wk P2+ HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 #1 453,800 0.283 0.150 0.173 0.143 #2 456,000 0.288 0.174 0.216 0.148 #3* 390,000 0.235 0.145 0.185 0.110 *Monday and Tuesday only So, as you can see, it might be a bit premature to say that DBS is effectively growing its audience at 8 PM, though there have been some impressive bright spots, such as that #7 and #11 in 18-34 on 7/6 and 7/12, respectively. Also, Monday and Tuesday probably fell victim to the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game, and not even Beerus can beat that!

This is interesting: http://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-live-pd-gives-ae-prime-time-leadership-among-adults-18-49-and-adults-25-54/ Family Guy (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.)• 0.779 million viewers (#32)• 0.49 HH (#31)• 0.35 A18-49 (#9)• 0.43 A18-34 (#1)• 0.29 A25-54 (#24) Dragon Ball Super (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.)• 0.750 million viewers (#38)• 0.48 HH (#33)• 0.34 A18-49 (#10)• 0.39 A18-34 (#5)• 0.32 A25-54 (#17) Must say I didn't expect that. DBS grew quite markedly (+0.03) in adults 25-54, but declined slightly in everything else, and quite significantly (-0.04) in adults 18-34! Also... 7/14/18 - Adults 18-49 Show Total Viewers Adults 18-49 Family Guy 449,000 DBS 439,000 97.77% MHA 261,000 59.45% FLCL2 237,000 90.80% PTE 219,000 92.41% JoJo 219,000 100.00% HxH 208,000 94.98% B.

I'd expect AOT S3 to take that slot and send it back to 11:30--or even later. Playing it in front of a dub premiere from 2018 is absurd unless there are content restrictions (as may have been the case with FLCL2), and we've gotten by with AOT at 11 PM before (first episode of the marathon last year). Pretty good job JoJo, Black Clover, Shippuden, and Lupin. Doubt you'll be rewarded for it though...
