    My Spanish final grade is being calculated RN. Keep in mind, most of my tests I didn't do good on. One test I got a 49, and on the latest test the score hasn't come in yet so it's in the placeholder grade of a 0, and right now that zero currently counts towards the calculations.

    All that said, my current grade- zero test included- is a 90.41%. An A.

    @kanc Disney pulled and tried to make exclusive on Disney owned platforms, so it was backfired and ultimately, they resorted to sell out to any third party companies to air or stream. Disney almost pulled all animated Fox shows rerun from Adult Swim to air exclusively on Freeform/FXX.

    @kanc Full House is owned by WBD so not sure if they will come back to Nick@Nite, so that is between WBD who own show and Paramount who own network.

    Family Guy is between Disney and WBD.

    Sony should cool it with acquisitions in the anime/manga sector. I mean I do propose Paramount Global/Skydance buy Sentai Filmworks if Sony buys AMC Networks.

    Cartoon Network only created Adult Swim as a bid to get more adult viewers- and advertisers.

    Now its expansion is because those adults are the only one watching, at which point I have to ask- what's the point of Adult Swim anymore?

    I just realized something. Toonami is currently in the middle of the Dressrosa arc of One Piece (episode 63 of 118), which aired in Japan a decade ago.

    The rotation of PlutoTV's One Piece channel currently goes all the way to the END of Dressrosa.

    Toonami's run on One Piece has fallen so behind that it's being outpaced by FAST streamers.

    Adult Swim was made so that more adults could watch CN (and especially for adult ADVERTISERS to advertise)

    But if adults are the primary viewer base for CN as a whole, and also younger skewing shows are being moved to adult swim, then what’s the point of adult swim

    I think that the folks in charge of Cartoon Network created this problem when they tried to compete with Nickelodeon directly. This cemented CN as a kid's channel in everyone's minds when before, CN was for cartoon lovers of all ages.

    Hot take, putting all the adult programs under a specific adult label in the first place created the stigma that the rest of CN was for kids, especially given how it didn't even have the CN name attached.

    Splitting it off into a seperate network for ad purposes just made it worse.

    @Tacomaster Then technically the Adult Swim issue would've been going on since 2001.

    And what about Nick at Nite, isn't that also an adult oriented late-night block for Nickelodeon?

    Then do you think Disney Channel's any better about this since they don't have any late-night adult block?

    Episode 2 of Uzumaki dropped. From what I heard, the Toonami Originals curse is NOT broken after all

    Just sell Cartoon Network to Disney at this point

    The decline in kids watching primetime was also likely why they switched all premieres to Saturday mornings by the end of 2019 so the decline in primetime was set in stone before Oulween came in. Oulween was kinda just trying to adapt with the primetime hours getting better numbers with adults.

    I do believe that WBD executives and their investors pressured on Michael Ouweleen to do something is new to audience that allow WBD to make most of money as possible before cable TV decline further, basically band aid on cable network.
    Tacomaster
    I don’t know about you, but if the only good Toonami original can produce less than one episode per year on average, that is not a good sign.

    I wonder why basic cable channels didn't multiplex their feeds like premium channels (such as HBO and Showtime) did once digital cable became popular
    Moe

    Biggest reason is bandwidth limitation with cable infrastructure, and of course, cost is other reason. Most cable companies rejected the major investment to expand the bandwidth that enable them to add more new channels.

    It was reason about why Boomerang didn't receive the widespread launch, 24/7 Disney Playhouse didn't came to fruition until 2012 and Disney's hijacking into Toon Disney to add Jetix after launch of 24/7 Jetix didn't make it.

    When cable TV decline and evolution of streaming, digital tier channels become useless and obsolete.

    Hot take: making it so all your preschool shows premiere under the main CN brand while moving all your shows aimed for anyone above the age of 8 to Adult Swim is not going to help CN’s image

I find it ridiculous that Batman: The Animated Series is on Amazon Prime Video internationally (including in Denmark), but not on Max in most European countries (including Denmark of course).

Another heartbreaking news. Mircea Diaconu, one of most iconic actors in the film industry, has passed away at age of 74.
