They've gotta be pulling our leg now. Why would Mark-Paul give up Commander in Chief for this?

I have no idea what's going on or who the joke is on, but that was one of the most entertaining train wrecks I've seen in a very long time.

I haven't cared about Adult Swim in YEARS [the last time I watched a whole session if you will was the New Years' they cancelled Brak - as they picked off the best shows one by one and replaced them with crap I lost interest. I'm still amazed that Aqua Teen is the one that lasted the longest as I always found it the weakest of the "classic" line up, but that's neither here or there.] However, this little stunt they're pulling - whatever it is - is by far the best thing they've done in a long, l-o-n-g time.

I still want my old Adult Swim back, but this'll have to do.

Thats better than the actual show.

The "Star Trek" fight music was a nice touch.

And since CN quit showing Batman: TAS, they should show both of those back-to-back in the 12-1 AM slot. I bet their ratings would go up.

The Fox X-Men cartoon is owned by Disney (from when Disney bought Saban/Power Rangers) and airs on ToonDisney.

They've been doing that since before they started airing the show.

One of thier commercial break "bumpers" had the origin of why they are calling themselves that.

Seems someone on thier forum was a big mad about the thought of them airing SbtB (join the club) and he went on to say "Why don't you just call yourselves crappy 80's sitcom network" and it seems they have.

Not necessary. The show was on for two weeks and is now gone.

That was pretty good.

Sadly, i had to relive the pool sex aka "uncontrollable seizure" scene again.
