Oh I see...

Well, the thing is that comparing to "Adult Swim" and "Bionix" is a mixed shuffle...
First off, I heard AS shows all GITS: SAC 1st GiG episodes (but with some edits?) comparing to "Bionix" showing episodes 1 through 9 (with edits) and skipping ep. 10 because it was somehow "inappropriate" to their "audience".

After what happen to that "missing episode", YTV lost half of their board members online.

Second (in my opinion), AS has a targeted audience of 18+ compare to YTV's Bionix targeted audience 17 and under...personally I think showing GITS: SAC on "Bionix" was a bad idea from the beginning, and I was somehow right from the other boards.

Hmmm, I don't think it was that reason why Family Guy was brought back to Fox. I think it was brought back after the major success of "Stewie Griffen: The Untold Story" movie.

Actually, it was a combination Adult Swim and the DVD sales

The FG movie was made in response to the resurgence in the fandom...and, actually, the return to Fox was lined up before the movie was ever released.

The ending to the second season in Big O WAS understandable o.0. At least to me...I didnt even know of a 3rd season lol, I guess its like if you see episode 51 of FMA it seems like the series ends but then there is the movie.

Adult swim...better not ever bring anymore live action old crap to it or I'll boycot it(except for Eureka and GITS:SAC 2nd gig of course >.>...and new family guy...and new futurama is supposed to be coming soon, or was that a movie? meh nvm..bring on the live action crap I'll deal iwth it..)

I actually think it was episode 9. on AS, they aired a disclaimer before that episode.

This shook me a little, which is pretty hard to do (I watch Med shows all the time)

You mean ep.9 (Chat, Chat, Chat)?...No, that can't be it.
It suppose to be episode 10 (Jungle Cruise) when that graphical story took place, not when there was a digital forum taking about the "Laughing Man" causes and effects. I'm pretty sure of it.

I say bring back Outlaw star! I loved it when they still showed it on saturday night, then they just suddenly cut it from the line-up.

Yeah, supposedly Mike Lazzo said if they went ahead with a third season he'd walk...

...after seeing some of what Williams Street has produced of late...well...

IT'S SHOWTIME!!! (...or at least I'd say it's called for.)
