[edit] Adult Swim's article title not wrong due to technical difficulties

Despite an edit someone made (which has since been reverted by me), [adult swim] is not the proper spelling. It is their logo (note that I'm using the word "logo" very losely here), whilst "Adult Swim" is the way even they write it. Just a future note. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 02:28, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Adult Swim bumps have changed

last night I was surfing the channels and saw an adult swim warning bumper, but instead of saying "Adult Swim may contain material that parents might not find suitable for viewers under 14" It sayed "Adult Swim may contain material that parents might not find suitable for viewers under 17" Is this how it's going to be from now on?

  • Well, ever hour, except the 10:30 and 11:00 gap, it shows that bump. It only shows the "viewers under 17" bump if the procedeing hour airs a show that is rated "TV-MA." Otherwise, it still shows the "viewers under 14" bump.

[edit] mlb.tv

mlb.tv used to show a blue screen that said MLB blogs/MLB Shop during pitching changes and middle innings, as they couldnt show the commercials. I noticed from yesterday they are playing the adult swim bump music, same font and exact same style of comedic writing as on adult swim

[edit] Spanish Broadcasting?

As of right now, on Adult Swim, the Episode of Inuyasha currently playing is being aired in Spanish. Is this something they've been doing for a while or is this new?

[edit] Incorrect Origin

As I recall, Adult Swim began as a vehicle to show episodes of Dragon Ball Z as uncut as possible late at night. I am almost 100% sure that this is the case, as I remember watching it fairly religiously. This would also make the claim that Cowboy Bebop was the first anime to air on it untrue, as DBZ is obviously an anime show originating in Japan. Bebop was the first NEW anime to run; that is 100% true, but definitely not the first. I don't, however, have the dates available or the time to research them at the moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.129.217.130 (talk) 17:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I think you are thinking of Toonami and not [a s]. Regardless, you would need to find a reliable source discussing this before changing it. DP76764 (Talk) 17:50, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
I think that the IP contributor is thinking of the Toonami Midnight Run, which did indeed show Dragon Ball Z and other anime (such as Outlaw Star) in the late hours on weeknights. However, it's arguable whether or not this was a bonafide precursor to Adult Swim. -- Pennyforth (talk) 15:08, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Even though the SVG of the logo is still used in Wikipedia as supported by the task force...

...why is it replaced by a JPG of the logo in the article? <:(
