Yes, but only on Saturday nights. Their lineup is currently:

Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Durarara!
Kekkaishi
FLCL
Cowboy Bebop
Big O
Ghost in the Shell

Admittedly, they need some new shows. The only thing that's not currently on a rerun is Bleach.

The only other show I've enjoyed on Adult Swim is Mary Shelley's Frankenhole, and even then the episodes are kinda hit-and-miss :?

It's pretty much entirely reruns at this point. Cowboy Bebop and FLCL are great, but it's ridiculous how often Adult Swim airs them. Besides that, Bleach hasn't been good for a while and I've never really watched Kekkaishi.

Is Robot Chicken any good nowadays? I remember enjoying it a lot in its earlier seasons.

I agree. But in their defense, don't they have ownership or at least partial ownership of (the second season of) Big O? If I'd helped produce something I'd cling to the licensing rights too.

As far as I can tell, their lineup of shows hasn't changed much in the past 6 or so years. Part of the reason it stinks.

Wait, they're STILL showing FLCL? How many times can you air a six episode series?

Warhammer 40k looks fun but expensive.

I heard about that. If it happens, I'll be watching for sure.

Yeah, it's sad that Bleach is the only one showing new episodes. Durarara! is new, though its now on it's second airing. And Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is technically new since it follows a separate path than the original, but it's on it's second airing now to. But I agree that everything else hasn't changed much.

The only thing they've changed in, I'd say the last six months or so, is add in a couple of older shows into the roster, namely FLCL and Big O. Before that they were airing an hour of Bebop and Ghost in the Shell.
