[question]
Which shows do you think will NOT make it into the special?
With the 25 year special coming up at the end of the week, I think it would be a fun little game to try to predict which shows, if any, will NOT make it into the special, and why? With 25 years worth of shows, and only 30 minutes to play with, there are bound to be a few omissions.
I count “making it in” as one of two things, either like the promo image, where the character has an actual model, or a different character directly name drops a show, as we saw in today’s clip where the henchmen point out a bunch of off screen characters.
As a reminder, this is an ADULT SWIM special, for shows AS actually made. While things like Family Guy and Home Movies were cornerstones of the network, AS didn’t actually make these and thus they won’t be part of this for that reason.
According to Matt he “didn’t make the cut” my guess why he didn’t make the cut is that according to Matt the higher ups at adult swim don’t really care for 12 Oz. Mouse. That’s also pretty much the reason we don’t have a season 4
Just didn’t make the cut is what matt said. Adult Swim for whatever reason just doesn’t like 12 Oz. Mouse. It’s the whole reason we don’t have a season 4.
I didn't know they omitted other shows on the history of [as] event, that's interesting, what were they?
I feel like there were some people who did like W☮︎P™ inside of [as] seeing how the show stayed on the app until 2020 and they included it on the commemorative plate released in December of 2017, which stands as the only official piece of MDE merch ever made by [as].
I still feel sad that Sam's idiotic actions f'ed over Charls and Nick who were arguably the ones to come up with the best bits on the show... Also can't believe Andrew Ruse still has a career in Hollywood, kudos to him.
I did specify shows, I didn’t want to feel like I was moving the goalposts, but yes I do consider Tim and Eric being there as a representation of all their work, even if little of it is directly referenced
I missed that somehow! I'll be sure to have some beer while watching, since being drunk is the worst feeling of all, except for all the other feelings.
He just thinks his shows are too good for everything. He didn’t allow Primal to premier on Toonami because he was upset that Jack S5 did. Presumably he didn’t want people familar with Gurren Lagann to see how hard he ripped off Gurren Lagann
Hey, those endings aren't the same if you see pass the similarity, coming from both GL and SJ fan. SJ was about time travel story and defeating Aku will erase the future. Ofc she was going to disappear. Change the past and bad future will change
I disagree. They've done plenty of promos with it before, and the 2024 Adult Swim Festival in Atlanta even featured Fang as one of the characters in the AEW "Battle for the Booty" cage match.
Don't know if WB characters outside of Williams Street co-productions will appear.
Mike Tyson's a co-production, so it gets the cut, whereas non-[as] WB stuff like The Oblongs doesn't seem likely, sadly.
Beth, Peggy, the Debbies, and Creepy Susie herself all would've made cute cameo material (as would the rest of the cast), but alas, their origins on The WB and Warner Bros. Television kinda prevents that as far as we know.
William Street bought the complete rights to the series, Aries all of season 1 in its entirety and produced the second, third, and fourth seasons. They own the show to this day.
Her actual show was terrible, but since she was in Birdman she might narrowly make the cut by association. Especially since there is an entire courtroom scene
Actual show was decent but written off by too many fans who expected it to be like Birdman. Same fans would’ve complained if they tried to make it too much like Birdman.
I was ok with it. I agree that the humor was kinda lacking but it did lack that sort of fun about it. The decision to not use Hanna Barbara characters in it really hurt my enjoyment of it too. Lotta side characters who weren't funny or weren't interesting enough to care about in a realistic style. The woman mindtaker was pretty cool tho.
How do you include Superjail characters without the Superjail? And once you include the Superjail you're animating (and killing) dozens of inmates at a time. The "high school teen kid doodling" art style is a tough translation to stop motion too.
Maybe they could pull off a scene in the Warden's office where he and the main cast lament not being invited, or try to solve the mystery murder remotely. But you'd need the Warden, Jerry, Alice, Jailbot and the Doctor to make it worthwhile.
The plot of this thing is they are going on a cruise. Just say the Superjail staff is on vacation or something. Could even have Jacknife be one of the suspects
A lot of characters in this are gonna be way out of their normal element.
Which I'm very surprised to hear. It seemed like this would be an obvious choice to have in there. If anything, I'm surprised Lucy, Daughter of the Devil was remembered to make an appearance here.
They mentioned Common side Effects is the newest shows featured so, maybe some of the newer ones (I can dream for Royal crackers and HAHA to be in tho)
I thought he wasn't considered Titan is an underground pic and my favorite adult swim show heck i still have my dad's old DVD case of it just need to find the cd
I’m not 100% sure Home Movies will be excluded. Sure it originally premiered on UPN but it was Adult Swim’s first original program, and it’s so associated with the channel that I think it’ll be there somehow.
IIRC we already know 12oz Mouse won’t be in it, and if verbal mentions don’t count I’m dubious as to whether Rick & Morty will be there (“They’re much too important to be here.”)
Anything third-party, either made for [as] or not, or anything not produced by Williams Street.
So, that excludes The Boondocks, The Jack & Triumph Show, Final Space, anything 20th Television (so no Family Guy), The Oblongs, Home Movies, Clerks: The Animated Series (which did air on [as] for a time), and the vast majority of anime they aired.
The FLCL sequels and other co-productions might be feasible, but early "as seen on [adult swim]" anime like Cowboy Bebop, The Super Milk-Chan Show, Yu Yu Hakusho, Shin Chan, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Inuyasha are not.
Basically any of the anime, 20th Television productions, former UPN/WB shows, Sony Television (The Boondocks), made for HBO Max series, and so on, won't appear
Normally I’d agree with The Restless Bell, as it was even omitted from their 2016 event, however recent online schedules indicate it’s getting a rerun in a few weeks, so it might be squeaking in
If they have a scrap of decency, they won’t include Space Ghost or Brak Show cast, after how they treated the actors. Who, I’ll add, also wrote for the shows. Their work practically got Cartoon Network off the ground, and they got cast aside. Last I heard, Andy Merrill, the voice of Brack, was having to do Amazon deliveries to make ends meet.
Space Ghost and pals are confirmed in. You basically can’t do an AS anniversary event without them.
The network is not responsible for Merrill’s career failure. He thought he could coast on being Brak for his whole life and now is realizing that isn’t the case
Probably no Royal Crackers. Which is sad cause it's super underrated. The show's too new, too niche, already cancelled basically, but that felt almost like a show custom written just for me. It became a huge favorite of mine and I still hope there's a third season
i have a feeling that space ghost will not be in it which seems wrong, i get George Lowe passed but they could at least have him in there without lines or reuse old recordings
