Neilson box or not, its about the proving of his point.

Jeeze, don't you anime fans understand symbolism? I mean, what else could be going on in those silent 19 minutes of every episode of every series?

Shows that are crap: Pretty much everything live action.

Everything that's good: Family guy, American Dad, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Toonami, Venture Bros, The Boondocks (I hate this show, but I know it's good in general.) And Superjail!

But hey what does an 18 year old know? I never seen or heard of anyone who actually watches the live action crap on adult swim. I really don't understand why they keep the shows on unless they have high ratings. Which I highly doubt they don't.

[UnionSolicitor]

Live action has pretty good ratings, at least the weeknight live action. I'll let itsa wake up and show you (if he feels like it). I know age isn't always relevant, but in this case it (kind of is), because most people are "against" the MacFarlane shows these days (save for burnouts and teenagers - at least as far as the youth culture is concerned). Whereas you don't "know anyone watching live action" I don't "know anyone watching Family Guy"... except for this one guy, but he'll still be working at a sandwhich shop (lets call it Underground Transit System) until he's 45.

It's Memorial Day, man. I'm sitting in a lounge chair sipping hard lemonade. But I'll do it for you, out of the kindness of my heart.

Yes, Thursday night live action gets good ratings--Eagleheart, Childrens Hospital, and Delocated all do very well there. Loiter Squad on Sunday does very well. Some shows don't do as well.

Anyone can go to Son of the Bronx and look at how well the shows do with respect to one another.

[UnionSolicitor]

I feel you on the hard stuff, especially today. I just wasn't sure where you got your ratings info, but now that I know.

[Rammstien101]

The reason why they do the real life retarded shows is that comdey central won't take them reject actors so they leach off cartoon network for more change in the pocket for thier foriegn cars they own. Can't those retarted comidians go on youtube or something like Cohan O Brain did when he was jobless.  Now I really think Seth Green had something to do with this since most them actors that have been on adult swim atleast been in one or two movies the same as who? Yes Mr. Seth Green. I can name all them loser actors but everytime I've turn on adult swim on sunday I change my channel to FX or something.

Is it racist to point out anime fans don't understand how to properly utilize the English language? (I've given up on coherency and reasonable logic/discussion)

[swimizbad]

Right there....thats the point.  You'd probably pull a bigger audience on Thrusday with half assed amine than with the live action crap you show. From day 1 AS has put amine in bad viewing spots (ie Saturdays) ofc its gonna pul low ratings on a tradionallly bad viewship day. Thankfully amine fans have 3 networks (if they're lucky) and hulu to avoid this non-sense.

[UnionSolicitor]

Even with the smiley faces, I can't help but feel you're being a bit inflammatory. Though, I can tell you didn't take any real offense, so I'm not worried about it. To each his own, and so long as that "own" is rationally and reasonably obtained.

[UnionSolicitor]

Also, gotta love the irony of a Live Action hater having an avatar from a Live Action show (albeit a British show that had to be purchased).

[itsacoaster]

Just one thing about that: new users get a random icon. So it could be just happenstance.

[UnionSolicitor]

I know all about new users getting a random icon/avatar - look at what I'm using - but they still have the option to change it to something already existing. I haven't changed mine because I'm waiting on something to be approved.

[onshidesigns]

All their live action shows are terrible and made to look like public access.  AS should have some standards.

Robot ckicken is a creative idea for a show, but it needs better writters.  And why hasn't the producers of been sued yet?

Anime, Y7 and lower rated animes should never be on past  11:00pm est.  Their is plenty of animes just as good as Cowboy Bebop that can put on Toonami.  

[Rammstien101]

With all them actors in Adult Swim they should think about making a movie or something. I mean with Seth Green being the super gaint they should remake the movie called Spaceballs and use them terrible actors they have mix with youtube superstars. The superstars of course from youtube will be Ray Willain Johnson, Fred, Francis, Epic Meal Time, Epic Rap Battle, Smosh, and of  course FPS Russia

Not unless he has a Nielson box. Otherwise him leaving the TV on doesn't affect anything but his power bill.

[DomoKun114]

Loiter squad is the best live action show on adult swim. That tim and eric, delocated sht, and all them other 15 min bs shows #### balls. If it were my opinion Toonami should run throughout the whole week and Let the lame shows i just said the late night slot on sundays. I REMEMBER TOONAMI USE TO BE ON EVERYDAY IN THE OLD DAYS!!

[UnionSolicitor]

You remember wrong.

[SODMGBASEDBOYZ]

" (I hate this show, but I know it's good in general.)"

lol what does this even mean

"Which I highly doubt they don't."

nice way to uh, go against your whole point

"I never seen or heard of anyone who actually watches the live action crap on adult swim."

i'm sure the people in your weaboo anime club at high school are just as escapist/afraid of humans as you are
