Getting hit in the balls the way Lion-o did probably hurt everyone watching.

Naruto's going to get good this week, and Bleach returns the next week, I'm sure the ratings will be fine.
Hopefully TCats ratings force it to the ass end of the block like Tenchi, and SBT and E7 get moved up.

But TCats is going to finish strong with the ending of this two parter this we....pfffhahahahaha who am I kidding it only gets worse and worse from here. And by that I mean I look forward to riffing on its awfulness with you guys.
We are reaching a point where we are going to get a new rotation of shows so it would be nice to get a bunch of new blood in real fast. SOLD MY WIFE can't end soon enough, it will be sad to see SBT go but there are plenty of high quality American cartoons they can draw from. Hell, they can start showing Young Justice if CN is cool with it. More than likely it should be Samurai Jack or Justice League/Batman: TAS. As far as Bad Luck Brian they can replace that with anything and it will be an improvement. Frankly I would be up for deleting it completely in order to make room for OP.
Oh that's lame.

Samurai Jack is old enough to be on Boomerang. Well I'll be damned.

While looking at the ratings week to week is fine and all, you're going to have weeks like this when the numbers drop for no obvious reason.
The numbers have trended upward more than downward recently, so unless that changes, I'm not hitting the panic button.
Don't know how much I can play this week sadly, I have a very early start for my Sunday. DVR will be busy!
ETA: And if you're so inclined, here's this week's Twitter plans, including an attempt to show support for an earlier Toonami start time.

hopefully S7's replacement will pick up the slack if the drop is really due to Thundercats, which ends soon anyway.
the Tumblr said the promo is gonna be for Bleach

Yea, it makes you feel old doesn't it? I remember when Boomerang was mostly Flinstones repeats...

Whoah. Ceaell needs a chill pill and fast. Alright, come clean. Which one of you is Ceaell?
According to Wiki, there's a few other post-2000 shows airing on Boomeraing. Including Ben 10 (both the original and the current one "Omniverse"), Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, The Secret Saturdays, and something called Almost Naked Animals. That last one sounds terri-bad.
But yeah, new Twitter campaign involves extending Toonami an hour. Starting at 11 PM EST (10 CST). Giving room for an extra hour of programming.

well, that was more they don't WANT to because it's on Boomerang. they said a part of their acquisition of Thundercats and Titan was that they weren't airing anywhere.
I wish I knew how to use Twitter.
I wish I knew how to use Twitter.
It's easy.
Make an account, keep it open, type up little messages while watching.
To make things trend, use hashtags (#) in front of a word.
For example: #ExpandToonami is what we'll tweet before it starts.
Then #Bleach Toonami
#Naruto Toonami
Etc. etc.
Instructions are here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ko90kv
I know they said they can't move it to afternoons, but I think if they want an extra hour it will come down to if the ratings can justify it. If they can average say about a mil a show for the first three consistently then it'll make sense to give them more time. Ratings decide everything sadly.
I think this is an unoffical thing.

Almost Naked Animals isn't too bad.
If you look, almost every fight night, the ratings have dropped.

[as] ratings thread on their site analyzes w2w rating on their impact, I've been a member of that thread before they publicized their numbers weekly.
Trust me, a good number of the demo watches football, college football to be specific. DAT 18-34 DEMO.
Hockey's back!

Part 1 aired in November and the week after was going to be both parts of it, but instead they flashed back to Jupiter Jazz to cover what they had skipped over when they went out of order. So this is the first time RFB Part 2 is airing since August (and only the second time on Toonami).

If you people don't watch SBT tonight people just stop watching it altogether. We are already into a stretch where it all comes together, you have to watch tonight. Possibly the 2nd best episode in the series.
Damn straight. Watch it, then cry about how we were robbed of it's greatness.
Are the final episodes of SBT rushed, or in any way force an ending, due to a cancellation? Like they shoehorned in some sort of ending that wasn't originally planned, in a last minute attempt for closure?
Or does it conclude as season 1 was always meant to, just without a followup?

It's more of a Season 1 conclusion, it leaves room open for plot lines in the following seasons. The following seasons that didn't happen. *cries*
That's preferable I guess. I know some shows, upon knowledge of cancellation, force an ending where there was never intended to be one and it just makes a mess.
Well I'm glad it at least has some sort of conclusion. I was under the impression that it just abruptly ended.
I wish another season would be made. I never saw it before Toonami picked it up and I love it!
