Please renew China IL.  I joined the board just to say this.  It's the funniest show on AS in my opinion.  Please make more!  I love it, and at the risk of sounding like a douche, am an Age 29 white male making $100k/yr or more, meaning probably an important target demographic for your advertisers.  Thanks.

This is exactly what I made this thread for, to reach out and touch [AS] public presence directly. It's the only real way to respond to them.

I love Brad Neely.  His comic was awesome and his internet cartoons were some of the best ever made.  But I think this was an example of someone being forced into a format they weren't meant for.  He shouldn't need plotlines, he shouldn't need filler characters or conflict or any of the other nonsense that has to be included to turn his stuff into television.  He is what television is trying to turn itself into.  He is part of the internet entertainment revolution.  Having him televised was wonderful, as it showed how much the focus has shifted towards the internet.  But turning the internet into television is not what moves things forward.  If he's best in two minute segments, or whatever format he feels most comfortable in, that's what he should do!  Is anyone else who loved the professor brothers or baby cakes disappointed to see them in this new format?  Don't you think they were better off as they were?

Neely's origional internet works are short compressed works that took however long to make and this new tv format I would wager would definately force him to come up with new interesting things in new ways. I enjoyed the show so very much and pleas let there be more.. please?

I loved the internet shorts. They were brilliant for exactly what they were. They weren't really meant or seen as the precursor to this episodic format.

 

But the China, IL show is a completely new evolution. It just happens to have some of the same characters as the old shorts. It stands on its own merits. It's funny, it's original, and it's surprising.

 

There's no need to try to compare the two, they are totally different works of art. And I like this show for exactly what it is. I hope it continues. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

See how many people join when [AS] warns that something is in danger? That's called dynamic advertising.

If Brad enjoys making China, IL and he's free creatively to do what he wants to do, then I'm happy. I don't think he should make any compromises as I'm sure like many of his other fans, I've loved his work from the beginning (Washington video was my first exposure), and I'll love what he continues to put out.

That said, it would be foolhardy of adult swim to not pick up a second season. Also, Kaljinyu has a point, I hope we were just being mildly trolled by that bump. But hey, it was effective in getting me here...

I wouldn't be surprised. Adult Swim loves a little trolling now and then.

Because the ratings are bad?

 

Also that poll is fail.

oh, for those obessed about anime promotion - please stop, youre just wrong. we cant even debate it because ive made a decent living by looking at promo schedules and ratings grids probably for longer than youve been alive. i can assure you that if anime promotion was the answer to anime success then youd see more anime promotion. cos then id be making more mad cash and wouldnt have to write things on the internet about anime. -Adult Swim President Mike Lazzo

Vash's bump requesting more China, IL reached Adult Swim. Where exactly did he post that bump? That's where Adult Swim's eyes are. We need to go there and make all future statements there from now on.

Probably costs too much to make. They're hellbent on bringing more live action crap.

Well, it was taken from a post in this very folder. So, I think you're on the right path already.

I REALLY NEED THIS SHOW TO COME BACK WITH A SEASON 2 ON ADULT SWIM AND FOR IT TO BE ON THE "permanent" LINE UP. I MADE THIS ACCOUNT JUST TO REACH THE A.S. ADVISORS TO LET THE KNOW THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY THE BEST SHOW YOU GOT

I don't see why Adult swim would give up on this show so early. Great shows like Seinfeld and Cheers never started out with massive ratings and both took a season or too to find their voice and to start cranking out great things.

And so many shows that [as] put back into the mainstream were shows that only one season but were given up on by mainstream channels. Mission hills, Oblongs, Home Movies. And lets not forget what they've done with futurama and family guy.

Turner Broadcasting must have see something in Neely since he was the poster child for their site super deluxe. Even though that might have failed, he keep it afloat a lot long than it would have been. They need to just trust in the artist and let them keep going so they can do great things, and hopefully make them money.

Though if it is expensive to produce, just cut the animation budget. Neely was doing fine with the fewer panels with no fluid animation. Think of how much time and work you can save on cutting out all that lip syncing, and creepy pupils movement that every one has now. I still can't get over why they added them. o__o

All and all, to sum it up. Don't cancel the show ya jerks. Or i'll be sad. :smileysad:

Neely's too far ahead of his time. The Baby Boom episode reverses plot like four times in 15 minutes, plus a music number. 

I think the format suits him just fine.
