Good? Disappointing? Is that all there is? Has AT&T finally killed Adult Swim?

It is. It was a 45 minute prank. Looped once. Family Guy will be back on in 15 minute as normal.

This is easily one of the more elaborate pranks, yet they put the most minimal amount of effort into it that they could.

They fully just don't care anymore. They just couldn't spare losing a single viewer from Family Guy reruns to do something cool for the diehard fans.

I can stomach them looping that Rick and Morty ep if in between each rerun is a new gag dub of a legacy show.
Just please... PLEASE be something more than that and the ATHF episode.

So it seems that besides R&M and ATHF, the only new content is new bumpers and fake "upcoming" baby versions of shows.

Couldve been the best AF since 2012, but shat the bed with only 2 re-dubbed shows.

It was a great concept, and what we saw was high effort.

Yet they just stopped after a little bit, so it sucks.

OR they couldve done the room again and it would still be better than this low effort thing. i thought they did adult swim junior a couple years ago, unless if that was some joke bumper unrelated to april fools since around the same time there was people who hated CN so much in 2019 they wanted AS junior to be a thing or something to replace it.

They could only afford to redub two shows, especially given that they made bumps with baby versions of half the Adult Swim roster of shows.

At least the Rick and Morty cutting off Samurai Jack pissed people off and it was kind of funny just spamming the episode over and over probably tanked their ratings.

This was a could-have-been-a-GOAT-prank that fell short because they, a) didn't want to put that much more effort into it, and b) didn't want to hurt the ratings too much so they ended it before it cut into their beloved FOX repeats. Basically, they didn't want to do anything too risky.

Absolute pussy move on AT&T Swim's part.

See, the cutting off of Samurai Jack was hilarious and there was no harm done since it popped up the following week/day. And at the very least that was new, original and hyped up animation.
Who the fuck is hyped up for RERUNS of former Fox (now Disney owned) shows? It's more believable there's contractual shit going on if the gag is over right now and it cuts back to that.

Are they that desperate for decent ratings that they can't even do 1 fucking night of dumb shit for the hardcore fans? Must we ALWAYS appeal to the NPC crowd? It's bad enough that 80% of AS has been just FOX reruns for the past several years.

That's what it feels like. The bumps were great and made it feel like they wanted to do an entire night of it but in reality they only had the budget to do Rick and Morty and one other show. Just a sad reminder that television is a dying medium and Adult Swim's days are numbered.

Adult Swim has been going downhill for a while (though it had its ups and downs, 2012 - 2016 was way better than 2008 - 2011), but this is a new low.

AT&T bought out Turner in 2018, finalized in 2019. Lazzo left the network later that year. Keith Crofford followed suit in early 2020. New execs were brought in shortly after. The streams were all killed in mid-2020, original series all started getting the axe. In late 2020, most of programming staff was laid off.

I get it, cable is dying. But you'd think AS could have survived in the streaming age. For fuck's sake, they were one of the earliest adopters of putting shows and other content online. Yet here we are. AT&T is gutting the network so they can move the back catalog over to HBO Max and pimp out the last few remaining shows (Rick & Morty, Boondocks revival, Tuca & Bertie, Venture Bros miniseries) as Max originals.

Being surprised by Smiling Friends at 3 AM last year was one of the highlights of the whole early lockdown for me. I was unemployed and stuck in my apartment but it was still kind of a great time anyway, like having a bunch of snow days in a row when you're a kid.

Now I'm employed again, wearing a mask at work for 8 hours a day, everything's pretty much back to normal but it all just sucks a little bit more than it did before and I just got tricked into watching an episode of Rick and Morty dubbed with baby voices twice in a row. I feel like a dumbass and I have work tomorrow.

This is the worst part. If this were a few years back, we would have gotten way more dubbed stuff. Sure it would have probably just been the usual shows they air on weeknights: Squidbillies, Aqua Teen, Robot Chicken, etc.

But it would have been actually cool to see the concept fully fleshed out. But this? This was weak.

They cut it short on purpose because they didn't want to spend the money and they didn't want to scare away viewers that tune into FOX crap.

Man, fuck off. Anyone with a brain can tell monopoly ass big purchases like the one AT&T did lead to normiefying the smaller brands underneath. You don't need to samefag to make that point apparent, just look at the "prank" this year as proof.

Yes but they had a lot more free reign. Basically as long as they did better than Popeye reruns had in the ratings, they could do what ever (except blaspheme; Ted Turner wouldn't allow it, or not in the early days anyway).

They specifically only chose episodes where a male "kid" voice said sexual things and then copped out right when they teased a show where female characters do sexual things all the time and would have had to either have a kid female say those things or an adult woman in place of one with a pitched up tone implying a kid was saying them

I guess we're only allowed to have little boys talking about jerking off in the sink.

It was initially owned by Turner who had access to a lot of the cartoon libraries at the time (mainly HB) that let early adult swim be a thing (as well as Mike Lazzo being the reason CN is even a thing, despite my complicated feelings on the guy nowadays.) Turner let them mess around, and the Warner Media merger mainly let AS and CN off the hook to do their own thing mostly.
I can recognize streaming is definitely a factor here, but if they're going to bother to keep the TV channel still running at this point, it's very apparent they're getting leashed while doing so, especially since the AT&T merger also affected CN itself with the stuff IJQ said about OK KO getting offed.
So yeah, you're technically right, but there was still an understanding that appealing to niches could work. Now that these massive mergers put these companies in the red, they stupidly cut all the niche shit out and limit it hard as you're seeing here.

For christ's sakes, they could have just done a whole block of old shows with pool bumpers and gone "muh nostalgia xD" and people would have ate it up. They could have just run tv shows with DVD commentary playing over the audio. They could have aired Astro Boy for 6 hours straight.

Literally anything would have been better than cutting off the prank (any prank) early just so they could keep airing crappy FOX reruns and get a slightly higher viewership.

There was a two part prank that year.

And at least spamming Rick and Morty over and over (instead of a new episode of Samurai Jack) was a ballsy move that triggered people. This is just lazy and aggravating in a whole different way.

There's nothing edgy about cutting off special programming for normie sitcom reruns.

Unironically Lazzo and Crofford were the only thing keeping TVB on the air. Turner execs got pissy that the show cost so much to make, took years in between seasons, and didn't even draw that many viewers. To the bigwigs, it was just a waste of time. As soon as Lazzo left, all goodwill the show had went out the window. They cancelled it. And if the outcry from fans was big enough, they would "resurrect" it on the exclusive HBO Max™ platform for a nice little movie to wrap everything up.

Like I don't understand this. I don't think I've ever seen a prank get pulled so that they could air a rerun of a show they had just aired 90 minutes previously.

Does Adult Swim run on a skeleton crew now? I heard rumors most of their staff got the axe last year.

It just screams of retarded suits who want ad money and keep the TV divisions alive, but also need to keep it as normie appealing as possible even though now more than ever appealing to niches like a night long prank would drive up viewers more. It's just stupid.

I think so, they cut their digital division (the streams and their games department) and a lot of the people they laid off have sworn to never work with adult swim again. All of the shows they greenlit looked like trash and cable is dying. And almost everybody who works for AS has said that AT&T is actively making the network worse.

I mean you’re correct that the NPC family guy audience still watches all those shows just on steaming now.

However the ones that are left watching cable are still NPCs, there’s just way fewer of them these days. But they are there. That’s why most cable networks strategies are to run their most popular show 12 hours a day in a desperate bid for viewers.

It’s sad but that’s what it’s come to.

Not that the AS audience isn’t there, but they are mostly online now and I don’t know why AS has seemingly given up on that realm.

That's damage control. The real reason is because most of the people who work at adult swim got laid off in November. So they slapped together anything they could with the limited staff. It's less to do with the pandemic and more to do with the new AT&T ownership wanting to drastically downsize the network which was going to happen even without the pandemic.

Apparently Max Simonet (The Gemusetto guy) was in charge of this, he wrote most of the animated bumps, directed the kids and edited the audio. Seems it was very last minute.

Yeah, they did a Space Ghost marathon in 2014 and an Aqua Teen marathon in 2015 and people enjoyed them because they had a bit of extra content to chew on (BTS stories and the coin game respectively). This day has become a ritual for Adult Swim fans, anything is better than nothing.

I don't understand... It was all last minute? They know April Fool's is coming every year and always do something for it. It's not like it somehow snuck up on them this year.

And if they were able to only do 90 minutes of new content, why not just run a Sealab 2021 marathon or something after with a few bonus features (a la Space Ghost in 2013/14?).

It seems like they just wanted to purposely make the special programming as short as possible and not interfere with Family Guy reruns.

I keep hearing this, always "next year." I remember hearing the rights expired in January, which obviously wasn't true.
Is there an actual public announcement that Disney won't renew the contract? Or is it all speculation? It does seem like a major dick move when [as] is literally the only reason Family Guy has more than 3 seasons.

Well yeah anon. The average FOX rerun still gets better viewership ratings than most original AS programming. A Sealab 2021 marathon would be the most appropriate but you'd be missing out on normies who watch Family Guy every night and the zoomers who only care about Rick and Morty and then leave. In fact most of the time when they air their older shows the ratings are bad, because only long time fans care enough to watch it.

Streaming killed stuff really hard.

First, the ratings on the late night AS stuff started to drop. But of course, it was like 4 AM so who cared...

But then even the more "normie" originals like Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen were pulling bad numbers in the 12 and 1 AM hours.

And then the ratings for the FOX shows from 10 PM - 12 PM started to sink. Averaged 2 million in 2018, 1.5 million in 2019, 800,000 in 2020...

And in 2021? Here's the most recent ratings report from last saturday...

Rick & Morty (repeat) (Adult Swim, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.397 million viewers

Final Space S2:E07 (repeat) (Adult Swim, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.300 million viewers

Family Guy (repeat) (Adult Swim, 11:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.367 million viewers

Family Guy (repeat) (Adult Swim, 11:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.433 million viewers

Family Guy reruns are down nearly 1000% from where they were a few years ago. And that's supposed to be the sure thing, the big breadwinner for AS, the normie bait that tricks people into staying tuned into whatever comes on next.

Also, let's be real. The way Adult Swim is run these days, they're not going to give up 3 months of prime Sundays @ 12 timeslot usage to a show like OzMo, which will have absolutely no appeal to most of the people that watch the direct lead in (Family Guy) or tend to watch new Adult Swim shows like R&M or Lazer Wulf. If anything, it would probably eventually recoup costs in streaming, or maybe it was just a passion project for certain people at Williams Street. But obviously the execs saw it as ratings poison (on a network that's already in a race to the bottom). I mean, they're not wrong, but still... It sucks.

Old Adult Swim is dead.

They COULD do simulcasting if you have a HBO Max account instead of the live tv/cable provider they're stuck doing right now. Streaming is popular, yes, but I've been noticing a lot of my normie friends have been getting exhausted by it and start to miss the days of curation and the little things like the theme establishing bumps.
I don't know, I see shit like Youtube and Twitter eating most streaming service's lunch just because there's a personality behind those channels that can connect with the audience. AS used to have that too as removed as it was, and like if they're stuck having to keep the cable channel alive, it'd be making lemonade out of lemons. But I suppose that's assuming there's more freedom involved in being part of AS these days than the actual reality.

The problem is that the suits who own the networks don't want to adapt, they want to wring every penny they can while simultaneously making the viewing experience so awful that people are pushed to streaming services.
They could easily make cable worth watching by bringing in personalities to host the network and introduce each show.

That's true and I don't really blame them it is a good idea to just let live cable tv die. What actually might be worth rescuing is parallel viewership/shared experience, which I think some kind of distribution conventions will eventually emerge from OTT and online video mediums that will replace that kind of experience. You already see that with YT videos "premiering" with a countdown clock.

There is still something sad about the medium of live television programming. AS we're the only ones who experimented with it's limits and explored the concept of channel identity and the way the audience interacts with it parasocially.

But that's exactly what I'm talking about. Strong channel identities and/or a charismatic host, together with curated content (as opposed to binging single shows), can let these networks compete with streaming. Think 1980's horror hosts, or radio DJs, or even YouTube channels like gamegrumps and ralphthemoviemaker where you're tuning in more for the host's personality than the content they're discussing.
But since the suits aren't interested in adapting, we're probably going to see this kind of content innovated through streaming and youtube, while cable withers and dies solely because it doesn't want to come into the 21st century.

One of the few advantages of every member of the media oligopoly getting their own streaming service is that they can have their whole selection of should-be-public-domain-but-isn't content all in one place, instead of rotating in and out of Netflix's library as contracts expire like it used to.
What this means is they could put a live program up where a host introduces a curated selection of programs from their catalog, no licensing fees required.

The thing that ticks me off the most about this is that cable could act in mutual benefit with streaming, but it's like they desperately want it to die, and hard. Why couldn't they, say, set up schedules to be a showcase of the things you can watch on streaming? Like "you can see this and more!"? But no, instead yet more business worst-case-scenario that too many people are too happy to defend.

I've been tempted to do something like this as well. Get a good hoarde of old shows, commercial bumpers, enjoyable commercials, and make a dead simple script to run through them in a TV-Schedule-like order. Maybe even save position so that when one episode finishes, the next script startup plays the next episode. Maybe even make "channels" one could go between. The only issues for me now are sourcing and HDD space.

It’s less the actual prank itself and it getting sidelined and done with much sooner than expected, even considering that some years before they just reaired legacy AS shows for the whole night and that was considered more than enough. It just feels like obvious suit meddling

Abysmally. And it’s only going to get worse when Family Guy isn’t propping it up anymore. Here’s last week. It’s a genuine miracle AS is still allowing this block to license new shows

12:30a Attack on Titan 271 0.15

It’s probably the only smart thing they did. Rick and Morty premier episodes still pull 1.5-2mil viewers.

That’s a genuinely good prank. It actually fits the definition of “prank” and is fondly remembered. That was also year 4 of the pranks, so the bar wasn’t very high at that point.

Tonight was what a corporate suit thinks a prank is. An annoying obligation that doesn’t make them money, so they did whatever as briefly as possible and went back to normal programming. But not before whoring it out to Wendy’s BAG ALERT first

God, fuck me, that was genuinely my first time watching a simulcast for a while and it reminded me why I despised cable. The ads were all insufferable and brightly colored generic normie shit. I would have thought the “sponsored by Wendy’s” bit would have helped mitigate it, but I should have known better.

Honestly, do we not expect Cartoon Network as a whole to die at this point? They announced that they're gonna try making live-action shows again and shifting their targeted demographic towards children and young girls.

And the bar will now go in reverse and get lower as long as AS is still around. Which is exactly what they want because they don't like this tradition. Next year you tune in again just to see and and the prank will be even less elaborate and imaginative and then the year after you won't even check to see if there are threads and there probably won't even be any even if you did.

Post when you've got 'em all compiled! What's the general atmosphere you're going for? Pool, 2003's "white sihoulette of a character against a black background with a fan letter or some other text to the left of it", [as]/quick snippet of background of real world location with funky beats playing?

I guess I'll just be Bumpanon or something. Idk, too lazy to create a trip so you'll probably see it when I post about it. I'm mostly doing text bumps just because they're the easiest to do.

Speaking of which, today is the 9th anniversary of "The Night No 90s Kid Slept" stunt. Anyone here up for a groupwatch of that recorded broadcast next year to commemorate a decade of AS Toonami, assuming it's still around by 2022?

They only took me like an hour to write so they're probably not great but whatever, I'm tired. I also can't wait to actually put them into my AS rotation on VLC.

The zero effort is appreciated, Bumpanon. This reminds me of the timeyears ago I tried making custom bumps myself, one in particular being an OG Adult Swim Action promo for Berserk 1997. I never completed it but the general idea is still there in my brain. Funny thing is years later I learned AS actually considered Berserk in 2003 but shot down the idea after realizing it would be a nightmare for S&P to edit for a TV-14 rating, likely the heavy bloodsplatter and Eclipse. Apparently Sci-Fi was also interested but Media Blasters had a disagreement with them.

They'll probably just throw all their new programming on a subscription streaming service like everyone else and AS will follow suit as some branch of the CN subscription
