From the article:
Williams Street has nothing to do with this. Just alums. |

this is probably me being way to optimistic but does anyone think that maybe some new dubs that people have been highly anticipating (cough inuyasha final act cough cough tiger and bunny cough) or FMA might make it into the block.

Unfortunately, it's Fox. It's a horrible station all around. It would be nice though if this is a result of Bandai's issues and it was going to be a Bandai block of shows, but I'm not hopeful.

he might put anime at the end of the block that AS should have gotten just to spite them. depending on how he left I could see it happen plus, he knows some anime is actually popular, and the rights to put it on the air are generally cheap so. |

Seeing that this news is own ANIME News Network and they are currently airing Bleach, which is an ANIME, I leave open the idea that they actually might run some anime in this new slot.
This time slot wouldn't have been made if all that they were going to show was Family Guy or American Dad... shows that Fox already runs in abundance. |

Okay, here's a question: Does FOX even care about anime without backing from Saban or 4Kids to even let one show have a half-hour slot? Seriously? At all?

"Fox is reaffirming its already sizable commitment to animated comedy. " "The slate of animated shorts and series will run online and on-air, with four new animated series planned per season with the 2013 launch. " Don't get your hopes up. This looks more like a proving ground for the FOX's next animated prime time shows. |

Maybe I misread it, but where does it say Fox is running anime like everyone is saying? I could maybe kinda sorta get the idea if Adult Swim was this anime only block but it's not.
It's where they show old Fox cartoons and goofball cartoons that fit in line with Fox cartoons. Don't be shocked when this is a zero % anime block. The only thing they MIGHT show is Panty & Stocking (and I think there is a 1% chance of that so don't hold your breath) solely because it's 1) crass and foul enough to tonally fit in with TV-MA US cartoons and 2) it would fool the average person into thinking it wasn't anime and the only parts that look like anime could be taken as parodying or mocking anime.
Everyone thinks Saturday morning toons are dead and Fox isn't making a Saturday morning cartoon block. Where is the irony? |

My guess is the same as a few others'.
It will be comedy shows to have a place to go for the people who don't like anime on saturdays. Even if william's street isn't directly involved, I'm sure they pushed the idea with the alumnis. |

I can see it as another place to air their shows when their primetime animated block is too full on Sundays. Since they want to air new shows but always have a problem of bumping a show off to air it. This block gives them a chance to expand.

I seriously doubt P&S could even muster a showing on Network TV past watershed hours. The transformation scenes alone would make the average CEO squick. |

Aren't we talking about FOX CEOs?
I am sure they have a higher squick tolerance level than most users on this forum. Well that is assuming their higher tolerance level isn't limited to just shows like Family Guy and American Dad. |
