Originally posted by StingArmyI guess they're right, but I never really understood why Cartoon Network was going to such great lengths to try to establish [adult swim] as its own network. I always looked at Cartoon Network-[adult swim] the way I look at Nickelodeon-Nick at Nite. It's hard to call yourself your own network when you share the same channel.
Turner Broadcasting's announcement last month that it will split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network for ratings purposes as of the end of this month cements a strategy that began last year to cluster programming that appealed to kids on weekdays (e.g., the Miguzi block), to tweens in the Saturday afternoon Toonami block, and to adults in the overnight Adult Swim block. Ratings will now be reported for two separate ad-supported basic cable television networks -- Cartoon Network and Adult Swim -- which will be carried on the same channels in different dayparts. Adult Swim programming currently runs from 11 p.m to 6 a.m. six nights a week.
As a programming block with such "autonomy" from the main network, Adult Swim's numbers doesn't badly affect Cartoon Network's other programming blocks.
You know, just this past winter solstice I was confounded by thousands, dare I say millions of blinking multicolor lights, seemingly strung up all over my neighbor's houses. Little did I know they were all primed to blow up!
I hear the phenomenon happens almost nation, nay, worldwide! How many other arrests were made?

NBC offers full episodes on their website, yet, I can't seem to have any success playing the videos. The first six episodes of Andy Barker, P.I. are on that site.
