Toonami would do okay on its own, but every show on AS is going to benefit with FG as the lead-in because it's the strongest show they have. If they took FG off the night, DBS would get the highest ratings of the night, but overall the Saturday ratings would be lower. What's important to note is that of all the shows that follow FG (Robot Chicken on weekdays, Rick and Morty/now Venture Bros on Sunday, and DBZ Kai/now DBS on Saturday), the Saturday line-up drops off the least from it consistently. That shows both that more people are sticking around after FG for Toonami and that Toonami is bringing in its own audience as well.

Hi While the ratings were pretty low this week, there's nothing to panic about yet. The 2017 line-up had a solid first week, and the second week it out-averaged the rest of the Adult Swim line-up in the 18-49 demo. Nothing is going to change after one night of low ratings, where even Family Guy couldn't break 1.4 million and a 0.6 in the key demo. With the news that Samurai Jack is coming back in March at 11:30, it looks like they've got plans to expand Toonami. The expected move is to move DBS to 11:00, put Jack at 11:30, and leave the rest of the line-up. They may also be airing Jack at 8:30 because they're planning to put encores there. Now, if the low ratings continue and Toonami consistently does worse than the rest of Adult Swim, then I could see plans changing with DBS and everything else getting bumped back, but this one week of bad ratings all around isn't going to cause that change.
