    The Disney Channel/XD disclaimer is so weird. "This is a general audience program"...well, it's evidently not, or you wouldn't be warning me of such! That's the definition of TV-G, and they're using it on anything TV-PG. Do they fear "parental guidance is suggested" will turn parents off?

    Oh wow that's strange. Perhaps because it's coming from Disney+ and they can get away with "edgier" content?

    For some odd reason, Disney+ programs and most movies use this

    Maybe they want to distinguish stuff specifically meant for young kids and more general audiences. Just a guess. I'm sure there are a lot of those parents that just let young kids browse the Disney+ app on their own.

    Heard about Justin Roiland. Adult Swim (and Toonami) just can't catch a break.

    I think it's time for AS to cease, as a brand and a block, considering CN is planning to go the "psychographic" route, which rather makes AS pointless. With that, CN could use the late-night hours for ex-AS shows, standard CN shows, and even uncut vintage cartoons from the WB, MGM, and Fleischer (Popeye/Superman) libraries.

    Wondering how this will affect Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites? Will the two end up being cancelled by both Adult Swim and Hulu or will someone recast the characters?

    What if the streaming wars were a setup to make us nostalgic for cable? I ask this as I'm watching the old Boomerang bumps that were on autopilot for years on YT.

    There is admittedly a convenience factor that streaming can always fall back on. On-Demand was a strong virtue with cable, but even that had inescapable ads. You choose between networks cramming in more ads than the actual show, vs an app that has *almost* anything you want, plus a hefty Skip Ad button you can use in an instant. On-Demand would need a makeover for it to be anywhere near appealing again.

    We can't miss cable TV because it hasn't gone away. My prediction is that cable and streaming TV will eventually merge. There will be little to no difference between the mediums and so your choice will be based solely on personal preference (and price, of course).

    I sorta agree with what the OP said, especially with all those zones with poor internet speeds.

    It is unusually smart for Nick to be airing classic SpongeBob during usual Nick@Nite time against Futurama on AS.

    Made sense since SpongeBob and Futurama are done by the same studio and released around the same year

    While Rough Draft Animation Studios did work for both shows, so did a lot of cartoons from different clients who had their own animation departments so I'm not sure I would say they were done by the same studio in that sense.

    Starz has added more anime to their On Demand; specifically, the first 50 episodes of Zatch Bell.

    Well, I'll be...the version of Yokai Watch that just popped up on Netflix is an international dub. The sleepover episode is also unedited.

    It was the US dub yesterday. I'm not sure why it changed today.

Today i learned that David Cronenberg (The Fly, Scanners) has a son who’s also a director and i saw a very psychedelic arthouse film made by him called Infinity Pool. I hope he becomes a more high profile director some day.


I wouldn’t recommend it to people who don’t watch arthouse movies though. It’s also very adult-oriented if you know what i mean

Was "Xiaolin Chronicles" dubbed in both European Spanish and Latin American Spanish, like "Xiaolin Showdown"?
