last night I had a dream that Adult Swim took 6-8 AM
Their show of choice to air during those hours? The Dreamstone, a british abstract-furry-led kids cartoon from the 90s scored by the London Philharmonic that has a two-part pilot that's an epic fantasy like Lord of the Rings, then the remaining 50 episodes are Sylvester and Tweety style chase antics. I am not even kidding.
With the disaster that the Boston bomb scare caused for Cartoon Network, Williams Street (whose Aqua Teen movie was being promoted by the Lite Brites caused by the bomb scare) seemed to get off Scot free. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if that weren’t the case.
Spectrum should have never gotten rid of FXX. Maybe then Adult Swim would have faced actual competition, and maybe even faced consequences for their increasingly stupid decisions.
Remember when FXX was beating AS in 2022? Good times
I’ve come to a realization. With Superman, Unicorn, Checkered Past, and now Invincible Fight Girl, Adult Swim is straying away from their mission of being adult-only animation, one that’s even in their NAME, to get more advertisers.
Media Brand Positioning | Scribd thinking of making a brand positioning similar to fred seibert’s ones, but for CN, in an attempt to get it back on track and give it a consistent vision because let’s be honest, their current direction… ain’t it
been thinking about those moves and additions adult swim made recently (getting superman, unicorn, checkered past, an aqua teen revival, and 5-8 pm). The character limit will choke me but I have a whole theory that this was all a way to better compete with FXX when their existing major shows had either switched sides or were in jeopardy
I think given their perphiary demographic and the fact that kids aren't really watching cable anymore, I think CN should shift gears to the young adult market- but NOT by pandering to nostalgia and giving everything to Adult Swim.
hot take: since i’m hyperfixating on syfy’s early history at the moment, i should let you know that i don’t hate the syfy name and understand the reasoning behind it. you can’t simply trademark “sci fi”, but you can trademark “syfy” and keep the name recognition by having it pronounced the same.
