RE: This week's numbers, I'd like to point out that the AS broadcast itself has been rife with technical issues lately. The worst of the issues has been the simulcast stream on as.com being down for several hours each night (with even Hulu's Live TV stream being completely off the air this weekend, and showing completely bizarre listings as well), so it's quite possible that's the real culprit here. Hopefully with Gill taking the helm with on air operations, things can stabilize on that front, because quite frankly it's been pretty embarrassing/mind-boggling as to how many screw-ups there's been of late. Also, we need to chill with the 11th-hour show additions resulting in grids not getting updated in time, week after week after week. We get all that settled and maybe we'll be back on a level playing field again.

Well, we're back in business gang! https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-14-2021.html So yeah, ouch for the Fena freefall... Should've stuck to one episode and maintained a normal schedule. Also Yasha is missing...but don't worry, already asked Mitch

Hey y'all. Just wanted to pop in and let you know the results of my survey. Took it over to r/Toonami and did a breakdown there (guess you can't see the images here so you have to click the link and view 'em there): Interesting stuff overall. Lots of primarily cable-watchers still around, a healthy spread of age groups tuning in, and many people candidly admitting to sailing the seas lol

Hey everyone. So while not completely on topic, I have a small favor to ask of y'all (if you have a few minutes to spare). I'm doing a short survey to see how current Toonami viewers watch anime, on and off-block, and what their viewing habits are in general. Until it was brought to my attention, I never really realized that there's only a handful of anime that I've seen every single episode of (for one reason or another), despite being a longtime super fan. I don't always watch the block week to week, and many shows that kind of drag for me I don't make a point to stay up and watch or get caught back up (if I jump back in). So I thought it would be interesting see if anyone else feels that same way about things as I do. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FVK6BCC The savior of ratings humbly requests your feedback.

They apparently don't post reruns #s anymore, so if someone would be ever so kind as to politely ask the gentlemen to include them each week (I'll probably forget) or see if they can do a special Toonami readout like Doug at PI did, much obliged.

What were they saying about reruns not doing well lol

Think we're just going to be living with this until summer when Final Space is over (though I would guess/hope the new episodes will give things a boost. And yes, while Super is a culprit as well, like Fam Guy and FS, it will probably be parked at the front of the lineup til it's done. Only another 20-odd weeks to go so...

Well, if it were up to me, the Ricks would be gone-zo and Toonami would start at 11 with Super moved to 8 like you mention, but I just can't see anything like that happening. Probably the most do-able realistic thing they could do right now is what you mention, with the exception of Super being swapped out for MHA (I don't see them going back to episode 15, it's too redundant) or stealing a Bob's airing or two from somewhere.

Just like the week before, Final Space probably ruined the momentum. But a curious thing did happen as well, where the second Family Guy rerun pre-Toonami did worse than the first. Wonder if that was the case again this week?? Nevertheless, it's high time for a primetime overhaul.

Burned out Rick and Morty reruns and Final Space at 10:30 probably did no favors as well.
