None of what we didn't?

Because your usual rant about Adult Swim airing kid's shows implies heavily to Star Wars:The Clone Wars.

So I don't see how you can say it was none of the stuff you didn't want.

And now answer an honest question. Did you watch it? All of it? Some of it? Any of it?

[Jeebus201]

DVR'd all the comedy and watched it the next day.

Didn't touch Clone Wars, which was a black mark on an otherwise flawless block.

[Sketchor]

You didn't even watch the so called best Saturday comedy line-up live.

This is why you shouldn't complain about what is and what isn't on Saturday. Because you're still not even watching it live and why would it be any different any other week if it's just the same comedy airing on other days?

This is why Saturday anime works, because it's not the same stuff as the rest of the week.

And if you're not going to watch it live one way or the other why should you care what's airing and feel the need to take away what other people are dedicated to watching live?

I rest my case.

Just DVR Family Guy and American Dad every day on TBS. Then when Saturday rolls around, watch those. There, problem solved. And if like 15 hours of Family Guy and maybe 8 hours of American Dad a week isn't enough for you, then that's a bit sad.

It's actually coming on the 10th apparently, so that's this Friday. So they could have done it this coming Friday and capitalized off all the hype. Though I bet they are being paid to do this as a sort of advertisement for the movie (I wasn't watching but I imagine the movie was heavily advertised during he block), so doing it the night of probably wasn't an option. Still could have done it last Friday, though.

Yeah, saw the ad for it today and actually paid attention to the date this time.

So I'll rephrase my idea of why this particular Saturday, they did it this Saturday to be the official 'first' ones to start the kick-off for a week of over hyping. Someone already said there's going to be FG SW episodes playing on Monday somewhere. CN might run extra episodes of the Clone Wars. The same Star Wars specials may re-run during the week on [as] but they were offiicially the first ones to run something within the 7 days of hype.

Didn't watch it either. Rocked it old school with Link and then sat around reading until I fell asleep.

Ok Trollface I'll bite. It was the worst Saturday ever.

[SODMGBASEDBOYZ]

so many weaboos. so much mad.

[Jeebus201]

Worse than the premiere night of Kekkaishi? 

Worse than when Pilot Candidate was airing?

Worse than Non #### Saturdays with 100% original comedies?

I worked nights, and watched Scryed, ShinChan, paranoia, Caseclosed, Trigun, Lupin.....ETCETC all while at work through the week.

You're just talking out of your ass now.

Anime still had premiers on Saturday nights during the "post-SVES" period. I recall, that anime was simultaneously on weeknights (excluding Friday) and Saturdays, from 04' to around 06''. However, I don't remember that much about AS' schedule in that time period, because, the block wasn't really memorable, there were too many shows for me to keep track of, and I have a relatively bad memory.

But, I do know that for a fact that 07' was the year when anime went back to Saturdays due to the fact that AS kept whining about the ratings.

And get that shit out of here son, don't make me pin the play hation on your tampon-eating-ass

Actually, the year Anime went Saturdays-only was 2008.  First it disappeared from Monday-Thursday in early March, then from Fridays in late March or early April.  And even then InuYasha stuck around at 5:30 AM until the end of the year.  I kept speculating that weeknight anime would return in the summer of 2008, but it never happened; in fact they scaled InuYasha back from 5 & 5:30 AM to just 5:30 AM.

Nope, strictly speaking, it was not until 2009 that Sunday through Friday was anime-free on [as].  And even then, one episode of Bleach came back during a Friday Night "have it your way" special in 2010.
