Look ****. Would it **** kill you to run your **** at the time its supposed to be run and not put in bullshit live action crap that sets back the single best show you have on nowadays 5 minutes? Is it that hard to keep to a goddamn schedule so when I set my goddamn tivo I don't get the last 5 minutes of the Venture Brothers cut off become some jackass is trying to sell me merchandise on some kind of fake QVC bumper crap? You don't need to introduce it, you don't need to be cute and funny about it. Just show the goddamn show at the time you're supposed to show it.

****. Just cause the rest of the crap you have on Adult swim sucks ***, doesn't mean you need to **** with the time you have **** on.

Also, you can apply this rant to Comedy Central and South Park. Stop **** timeshifting stuff by 5 goddamn minutes.

I don't have a problem with 5-minute time-shifts. It's a valid, though largely outdated in this post-channel-surfing era, marketting strategy, and has, in the past few years, been used to try some experimental stuff.

That said, time-shifting without publishing that you're time-shifting is retarded.

Amen. I also hate it when CN deviates from their programming and I end up Tivoing some weird random crap.

Money says it's done on purpose, based on pressure/incentives from the ad agencies because of Tivo.

This too. If you're gonna put in stupid crap that I'm pretty sure noone wants to see, then at least have the decency to begin and end the program inside your 30 minute programming window. But oh.. that'll cost you ad revenue... because the show runs for 22 mins, and you need that 8 minutes for a bunch of pointless ads that I'll just fast forward through anyway.

No wonder DVD sales are through the roof.

I shouldn't have to set every damn thing I want to record to start 5 minutes early and end 5 minutes late.

The scene from Dia De Los Muertos where "They hit me... With a Truck!"

That had me sold.

I gave up any hope of CN being anything good years ago. It was an early Saturday morning, like 11AM. I was messing around on the PC, Jake was 4 or 5 at the time watching what I don't remember. I do remember the E.D. ads that were running that morning though. Yes, that E.D.

My wife complained to the network, we were pretty much told to STFU.

I miss the days of Cowboy Beebop and other good shows like that. But I will settle for Metalocalypse.

I love the Venture Bros. But I agree with Mus(but I still hate his new name). Less Hatred, more Brock.

I only watch Venture, Metalocaylpse and Robot Chicken on Adult Swim these days. A lot of the other stuff they have on there is garbage(Squidbillies? Really? And the Mighty Boosh? Give me a **** break)
