[classic swim]

Really annoyed with how the word got out, but I also just have no idea what Adult Swim’s doing or what they’re turning into anymore. 7pm was at least somewhat tolerable enough, but now they’re wanting to start it right at the end of noon for some people. This is just messy for everyone. They so quickly and gracefully turned their back on Ouweleen’s whole sing and dance about “bringing CN back to the way it should be.”

We got a blatant bullshit misinformation article that everyone chose to just pedal, so there’s that. Edit: okay um, wow..... they’re actually dropping to 6pm. The one stray, weird source was right. Holy shit, CN...

Thanks, Elon. Thanks for your absolute horseshit ideas which companies will now follow suit. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/google-will-start-deleting-inactive-accounts-after-two-years/ Didn't care as much when this was just a way of saying “fuck you” to people who rightfully don’t wanna use Twitter. But now I gotta hear about spam, and cutting costs...from fucking GOOGLE. And of course, more ramifications as to everything that gets wiped out.

Saw the news and I can’t at all say I’m surprised by this. Feels like by the time they fucked off with the coma stuff and tried doing what everyone wanted, not many were paying attention. I’ve enjoyed the last few seasons, but it’s just not 2012 anymore. I had to ask myself a few times how good they were actually doing. For what it’s worth, they can end the show the way they wanted, the season we just had before was prepping for that. And the production company will have Aqua Teen. It’s kinda sad too because this is still one of the most uniquely animated things on TV. That Frisky Dingo look didn’t last for too long.

I favor Williams Street originals as well. The network not having much to go on is one of the many reasons why I’m no longer giving them as much time. They’ve been stagnate since well before the mark of the 2010s, so it’s not like this is a new issue. My thing is that if syndication’s a top priority, they do a shit job at that also. Even though I believe Family Guy belongs on [as], we’re arguably in a much better spot (just out of personal taste) than when we had a three hour MacFarlane block. A lot more bitching back then, but that also allowed some leverage, or the market then was just better. It’s not like I’m routinely watching their sped-up/squeezed KOTH episodes, but it’s not a bad show quality wise to marathon. As opposed to Cleveland Show. This is just the new vanilla world that they’re stuck in. They aired repeats of Lucy and Frankenhole months back. That’s about the only good thing I’ve had to say about their general programming in awhile.

Still just taking my time with it. But I watched the Stebe episode a couple days ago and that was fun.

HBO Max in fairness was already janky as fuck and had their own cartoons regularly leave and come back.

Tina.

Oh yeah they wrote him out of the show for a bit, didn’t they? Fuzzy Door Productions knows how to introduce the masses to great music.

Love that we’re still expected to endlessly walk with our tail between our legs while this happens a dozen more times every year. They want me to praise their Jesus though. Fucking reptiles.

I’m not sure what the exact amount of viewership was for them to just suck at airing it. It’s like what Toonamiguy mentioned. As bad as Comedy Central was, they could air each movie all in one go. They wouldn’t air half of it one night, half of it the other night, or just rapidly air it non consecutively when they had no business to. [as] used to be the one place where Futurama could thrive in numbers, but oh well. Guess they still have FXX. I think.

You never know. Beavis & Butt-Head’s second revival has a fair sprinkle of great episodes and utter shit ones. I’d hope Futurama would step it up, although it’s Exhibit #8675309 of TV revival that only exists out of desperation.

I doubt that would even matter. But now that you bring it up, it sucks they’re not gonna have syndication rights for those new episodes either.

Disappoints me how quickly they burned out Futurama upon joyfully reclaiming it and then just left it deserted on pointless slots.

I liked it. I’m not really into mystical wizard shit, but I could see this being one of those exceptions. A bit of the humor reminds me of pre-S5 Samurai Jack. Like the random cowboy from the first episode. Primal did have more liberties to go on, but I don’t consider this a demotion. They knew they couldn’t have Spear and Fang battling forever.

What the hell do you mean a “Peter Pan Peanut Butter Alert?”

I’ve thought about replaying both IV’s campaign and Episodes From Liberty City all in chronological order. I think I’m too lazy to fully commit to such a thing. I also tried getting into Chinatown Wars/Vice City Stories but my PSP has broken down.

From what I’ve heard since this anniversary at least on the Xbox (and maybe PC) side, lots of people apparently still play. I’d play last gen GTA Online, IV’s multiplayer, and SR2 with friends all the way through 2016 before I ditched my 360. Barely even touch the Xbone at all in comparison. There was a time on XBL where no matter what game I played, I could always count on my recent players tab being filled to the brim with GTA IV. Kind of miss when that was top of the charts. I couldn’t agree more about the Trilogy. I played old school Nintendo and did the arcades, but PS2 was the first console I had to myself. San Andreas was the best of them all, with Vice City being an inch close second. Much of my uncontrollable hype for GTA V was remembering how fucking sweet the launch of SA was. I still don’t envy the ones who tried finding a good copy of that game during the Hot Coffee nonsense.
