Just to let everyone know the tweet of war even has started on twitter. Steve blum and us did not use the #BringBackToonami all week and now after 10PM we are supposed to use it and hit your tweet limit to get it to trend. So as Steve Blum/Tom would say. Let lose the tweets of war. This is your time to make a change, also of interest. http://boards.adultswim.com/t5/Toonami/ ... p/64762693

Oh well, I don't have cable anyhow.
CN seems to pretend taht the show doesn't exist, for some reason. There were episodes on itunes, but they got pulled, and their website makes no mention of the show's existence at all. Probably some kind of legal entanglement with it I'm betting, not sure what.

That show was awesome, btw.

I missed it back when it was on the air, and now I hear it's great. Makes me sad. I bet the it will at least be rerun on Boomerang someday, even if it doesn't get a DVD release.

It's basically non-stop puns, literal humor, and lots of other kinds of wordplay. And it's incredibly absurd.

If you have to torrent it or something, do so, it's worth watching. I'd buy up an official DVD release in a heartbeat.

If Nickelodeon can figure it out and bring back the old shows from the 90's-2000's in there 90's are all that block(12-2AM everyday none the less),why can't CN and adult swim relies that they need to bring Toonami back?

Unlike CN, Nickelodeon has been losing viewers over the past few years (dropping from no. 1 to no. 3) and so the '90's block is an attempt to stem the flow. CN has actually risen, so they aren't going to change their ways now. They don't "need" to bring back Toonami, they do just fine without.

Now the it's back, we can return to complaining about how it's always rerunning the same things over and over.
