Now they can fit in more episodes of treasures such as Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job and Squidbillies.

Hey now, Squidbillies owns.

Fact, 80% of [AS] original content emphatically owns.

Everything they do Live Action is garbage though.

Shocked Squidbillies is a good show!

Anyways, I hope this extra hour means newly acquired shows as well. maybe add The Simpsons or something.

Its not like Cartoon Network is using that 9 o'clock spot for anything worthwhile anyways.

Wow! It looks like Adult Swim will be airing in 9 hours from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM (Eastern / Pacific) starting in 2011, and that will be great.

(shakes head), another sign that Cartoon Network is going downhill.

I'm surprised they're waiting that long. Let's be honest, I'd rather watch Squidbillies over lame shows hosted by Andrew W.K. I'm wondering how long it will take until they go into their vault and start putting in old cartoons. I really want to see Johnny Quest reruns.

Well, hopefully that'll mean another hour of anime on Saturdays. Sure, we got a whole another year to go before this goes into effect, but meh, at least we know it's coming (although about 95% of will forget it by then, I'm sure).

You have to ask?

That said, it's good to see the Adult Swim Empire expanding by yet another hour.

You said it. Just thinking about the shows [adult swim] loves to air makes me wonder if it's possible to cringe, throw up and lose brain cells all at once. Mentally anyway, that's generally the effect [as] has had on me whenever I've had the misfortune of catching a few minutes of their home-brewed &*@#%&(^*&!)@@"?.

(No offense to those of you who like said ^&*(&^)%$%, of course.)

Hopefully, with the advent of this extra hour, we'll see the addition of 2 new anime Wink

BTW... EVERYTHING on AS that isn't anime sucks(except for The Boondocks).

To me, CN died as soon as they stopped airing Naruto. I used to love it in the late 1990s-early 2000s with the Cartoon Cartoons, Toonami, and sometimes Miguzi. Then movies every Friday was excellent, since most of them I enjoyed watching (until they kept repeating the same ten movies or so all the time). But somehow or another they started to die out to showing more live-action stuff and things that really weren't entertaining.

Now CN's channel is only recorded during AS' hours and I'm sticking to watching Boomerang. =P

Actually, that's an opinion. A fact is I can see some parents complaining about it airing so early..especially in midwest since that will be 8:00

Guess those reruns of King of the Hill and Family Guy, coupled with great original shows like Tim and Eric have really paid off for them. Rolling Eyes
