>>114088554OK, look I don't really like Lazzo, but the circle jerk against him is ridiculous. In some senses, AS had moved on from what it was in 2001. And the show ran for 15 years, it's not like it was cut short before it hit it's prime. On the contrary, many of the later seasons really dragged.
People like to hate Lazzo, but there were also a lot of other people higher up at AS who made these decisions, not just him. Plus influence coming down from Turner/Warner higher ups. Adult Swim in 2015 was very different from Adult Swim in 2001. It was a cash cow, a business first and foremost, and one that stressed itself on being on the cutting edge of programming in certain regards.
It bummed me out too, but it does make sense that AS would finally want to move on.
