Last night Big O "The Show Must Go On", a premiere and season finale scheduled to air as part of our Halloween stunt, failed to air. This was certainly not intentional, and it's still not quite clear how the mistake was made. We're very sorry that this happened, and we want to make it up to you. Here's the plan:
Big O, "The Show Must Go On" will air at 11pm next Sunday, November 2.
Family Guy, "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein," an episode that's making its television debut on Adult Swim, will move to 11pm on Sunday, November 9.
Thanks for making us aware of our mistake. We heard about it first on the boards. Please use this thread to voice any lingering complaints and opinions on the topic.
Apologetically yours,
Kim Manning
Adult Swim Programming

thank you for making some kind of official announcement. I only wish it had been done alot sooner as to not cause as much chaos as waiting until now did, such as saying something at the webcam party so that it might get translated here, or something so that we didnt turn into the pulsating angry mob that we are now and have given the mods so much work in deleting our, how shall we say, rude comments heh
uh oh Lois im losing my buzz!!.....i need more talent juice!!

Thanks for info Kim...I know alot of people will feel much better...espcially the "Big O is displeased" guy. I love that guy.
And the "Carrie" costume last night....SIMPLY SMASHING!

Methinks maybe the 'blunder' was actully a marketing tool to gage viewer responses.
I wonder how many negative posts came in after the wrong episode aired.....and if [as] were able to use those numbers to mark up sponsor rates for when they start airing Big O during the work week. Or maybe to WOW their mgmt.
I see the 'conspiracy' behind everything! Even when one does not exist!!!!!
Shee-it.....if it's gonna be THAT kinda' party...........!!!!

I thank you for clearing things up. It's a shame that this mishap had to occur on the finale/halloween bash night.
Why remove Family Guy entirely from nov. 2? I thought it was scheduled to air four times that night.

Thanks, Kimma. Looks like a bad conjunction of the planets--wrong tape, drunk webcam party, totally pissed off viewers.
I'm old, I understand mistakes. Just sorry it took so long for somebody there to realize and address the mob in a sane fashion. Thanks to you and Andy, we at least know what's going on now.
I actually skipped a visit to my aged parents' house (They're in their 70's) for the weekend because they don't have cable and I had to see the last Big O. See, we adjust our lives around you, so you really are important to us. If we didn't care, we wouldn't be so upset.

For closure, some of us would like to see the apology in a card or an ad.
Eureka 7- Don't watch it and maybe Adult Swim will hire programmers that don't get crappy anime. Adult Swim has every right to air Saved by the Bell. But we also have every right not to watch.

Not true. I haven't gotten to see the majority of season one. My cable is less than 14 weeks old. I'm looking forward to being able to see it from the beginning.
