Is it really necessary to have this as a separate article? All of this information is listed on the Adult Swim article and that one is certainly not large enough to warrant this to be needed. If or when that article becomes large enough, then the list should be moved here, but it is completely unnecessary to have a copy. --Kamasutra 21:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Inaccuracies
Adult Swim first aired on September 2, 2001 (date from Adult Swim main article). I double checked the date and it was a Saturday. I believe that I in fact viewed this first airing. The first show was aired on that date was Yu Yu Hakusho. Followed by Pilot Candidate. I can not remember the rest of the schedule. But because of this I believe the years are wrong for those two shows and so is the statement proclaiming Cowboy Bebop to be Adult Swim's first anime
- What? You should triple check because September 2, 2001 was a Sunday. That's not what happened at all. The schedule looked like this:
- 10 PM - Home Movies
- 10:30 PM - The Brak Show
- 10:45 PM - The Brak Show
- 11 PM - Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
- 11:15 PM - Sealab 2021
- 11:30 PM - Space Ghost Coast to Coast
- 11:45 PM - Space Ghost Coast to Coast
- 12 AM - Cowboy Bebop
- 12:30 AM - Cowboy Bebop

[edit] Samurai Champloo's TV rating
Just reassuring the fact that Samurai Champloo is rated TV-14 every single week it is on the air (sometimes with an L, S or V, or all three). Yes it's edited for content, which so far has only been language and nudity, but none of the violence has been edited. But this certainly is what the show is rated on Adult Swim. --68.51.166.23 18:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Actually, maybe if we can't settle this, we should just remove the ratings column. They're a chore to keep updated since they're changing often (like Evangelion this week), and if you want to see what an episode is rated you can go to AdultSwim.com, or turn it on. --68.51.166.23 19:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep the ratings column. This list shows the shows actual rating, which is TV-MA. It does not show the adult swim ratings. It is like this so it is not confused, but the shows itself uncut is TV-MA.
If someone does not stop changing the Samurai Champloo rating to TV-14 they WILL be expelled. I MEAN IT> STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
This can of worms never goes stale, it seems. Samurai Champloo's TV rating is probably the most edited part of this article. On that note, I would like to say the following: this is a list of programs broadcast by Adult Swim. It should reflect what was aired on Adult Swim, not what people see on other outlets or in other media. If you have a disagreement, feel free to air it. —TangentCube /c /t 06:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
If we keep it as TV-14, people might get confused and therefore may be inaccurate. For example, they might think the DVD is TV-14. In fact, why don't we just DELETE the ratings column to avoid frustration and confusion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.224.84.185 (talk • contribs).
- First, please sign your comments on talk pages with ~~~~.
- Secondly, why would someone think the DVD is TV-14 when the article isn't about the DVDs? Changing it to TV-MA may cause people to think that it actually airs with a TV-MA rating on Adult Swim, which is not the case. Remember, Wikipedia is about facts.
- Third, the ratings column is valuable information about the history of the shows on Adult Swim. It needs better sourcing, as do most things (unfortunately) on Wikipedia, but that does not mean it should disappear because of a single point of contention. —TangentCube /c /t 22:41, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Third opinion
I won't delete the plea posted on Wikipedia:Third opinion so that someone else might weigh in, because my opinion on this topic may not be worth much.
In my opinion, the ratings column has little value. It elicits a "so what?" response within me. And it seems to be a maintenance burden. I don't care much for Wikipedia articles consisting of lists anyway, but if you must make a list, the list should have a timeless quality (i.e. not subject to frequent changes).
Wouldn't it be sufficient to say in the article that programs shown when young children are likely to watch TV carry a TV-G or TV-PG rating, whereas the late shows are typically TV-14 or TV-MA? Every single program in this list appears to be linked to an article dedicated to that program; I say let those articles describe how mature the audiences are expected to be, and delete the ratings column from this article. -Amatulic 20:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Fourth opinion: I agree with Amatulic above. Although I doubt whether this article would make it through a deletion process (wherein lies its encyclopedic value, really?), it does exist now. However, lists should be of timeless value: avoid making lists that change all too frequently. But if it has to exist, just remove the ratings - they are redundant.
Or, if you really really really really really want to keep them... cite IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423731/. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 21:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Actual date/time when programming begins
I just want to mention the midnight technicality in regards to air times. For example, while Bleach may premiere technically on Sunday, September 10th, at 12:00AM EDT (or PDT) (0:00), for argument's sake, it's on Saturday midnight, due to the block starting at 11:00 AM. Just consider 6:00 AM the end of the block and the start of the next day. --Geopgeop 15:28, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] That Crook'd 'Sip
"mysterious third figure"? Is there any way to state that the third creator is unnamed in a more...encyclopedic manner? --71.194.243.237 04:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ratings removal
Finally, someone did what I wanted to do but was too lazy. Now when someone inevitably reverts it, I won't have to take the heat. --Tv's emory 20:56, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Lion King
I think the movie The Lion King deserves to be in this list, due to violence and mature themes.
Seeing how it's never aired on Adult Swim, no.-Lord Lonic
[edit] Lupin the 3rd
Shouldn't AS's license for Lupin have expired by now? I heard about it being expired from someone on Toonzone, but since it's a forum, it's not really a reliable source.-Lord Lonic
- A quick glance at the schedule on adultswim.com shows it's scheduled to air Saturdays after Paranoia Agent ends, so maybe they renewed it, if it was about to expire in the first place. —TangentCube /c /t 18:39, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Venture Bros Season 3 Inaccurate?
I just read this over at Jackson Publick's LiveJournal, posted on March 8th, and wanted to make sure I was in the right before changing the article: "you won't be seeing any new episodes until probably this time next year, since we won't start getting them back from Korea until around the first of the year or so."
If that's true, shouldn't it read that Season 3 of Venture Bros starts in Spring '08, or is this source already obsolete? --TruPhan 19:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
