First Anime?
I know it was waaay back, but I remmeber their first anime being Cowboy Bebop, then they started showing other anime on saturdays. Could someone cite some sources?
- According to their respective wikipedia pages, Cowboy Bebop was introduced the same day Adult Swim first started broadcasting while Yu Yu Hakusho didn't come around until over a year later, so Cowboy Bebop was the first ever anime on Adult Swim.

Mountain Dew/Adult swim trivia
the recent product by mountain dew, Mountain Dew MDX, is doing it's Staysharp.tv promotion on this channel, but instead uses trivia from the episodes of the show that is currently on (Mostly Futurama, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Metalocalypse from what i see.) should this be noted?

Schedule
Is it really necessary to list all the schedule changes for Adult Swim on this page? I mean, what's the point? RadicalBender 05:57, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- It might be of interest to someone. It is rather silly though. - user:zanimum
- Agreed, there's nothing encylcopedic about it, except perhaps the count of words. RossPatterson 04:48, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps listing the Adult Swim schedule is not encyclopedic but many things on Wikipedia are not encyclopedic in the general sense/use of the word. I personally found the schedule very useful, as it allowed me to see which shows are currently airing so I could read
- Agreed, there's nothing encylcopedic about it, except perhaps the count of words. RossPatterson 04:48, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
up on them etc. --Nadsat 14:30, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
- I really don't see the point of including the complete schedule here. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be the one source of every conceivable bit of information, and finding TV listings online isn't difficult. tregoweth 03:24, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, we should put all the changes down. As long as we have the schedule on this wikipedia page, we need to keep it updated.
Tregoweth, you are very wrong.
Dposse 22:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, they're absolutely right. Wikipedia is not for schedules, it's not supposed to replace tv.com or any other website/periodical devoted to tracking episodes. It's a freaking encyclopedia. The mission of Wikipedia is not to monopolize the information on the internet, it's function is simple and defined: a free encyclopedia. This does not in anyway entail or suggest that it should function as a way to track what shows are being shown by a channel. If you have any doubts, compare this article with other such articles on Wikipedia. --mwazzap 08:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, they are still absolutely wrong. You wanna look at other articles? Ok, lets do that.
http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Toonami
Ohh, whats that? A schedule on the Toonami page. Hmmm...
Look, one of the biggest complants against Adult Swim is the changing schedule. Also, what the hell do you think that Wikipedia is if not a resource for infomation? As a free encyclopedia, Wikipedia goes well beyond the function of a normal encylopedia. One look at the type and depth of infomation here on this website can tell you that! As the schedule is a huge part of Adult Swim, it should be here on wikipedia and it needs to be kept up to date. If you don't want to do that, that's fine. I will take that responsibility. Dposse 17:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
From what I remember, AS didn't have shows on Saturdays until 2004, as when I began watching in 2003, they didn't E946 05:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Many major network pages on here included season schedules, so IMO if they get to keep schedules, then so does this one. However, it should only be updated for long term changes, not one time pilots or experiments.
Anyway, taking a page from the major network pages, I whipped up this:
Schedule | 10:00 PM | 10:15 | 10:30 | 10:45 | 11:00 | 11:15 | 11:30 | 11:45 | 12:00 | 12:15 | 12:30 | 12:45 | 1:00 | 1:15 | 1:30 | 1:45 | 5:00 | 5:15 | 5:30 | 5:45 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sunday | Futurama | The Venture Bros. | Family Guy | Robot Chicken | Metalocalypse | Squidbillies | Minoriteam | Tom Goes To The Mayor | 12 oz. Mouse | Aqua Teen Hunger Force | Moral Orel | Stroker and Hoop | ||||||||
Monday-Thursday | Futurama | Futurama | Family Guy | Pee-Wee's Playhouse | Inuyasha | Fullmetal Alchemist | Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GiG | Gigantor | ||||||||||||
Saturday | The Boondocks | Robot Chicken | Metalocalypse | Trinity Blood | Bleach | Eureka 7 | FLCL | Super Milk Chan | Cartoon Planet |
Still a work in progress. Mshake3 15:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Line Up
is this line-up current? didn't Paranoia Agent replace Cowboy Bebop for the 1:30 slot?
yes, this line up is current. cowboy Bebop replaced Paranoia Agent. Dposse 20:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
Past, Present, & Future
As long as you are going to title the listing of shows "Past, Present, and Future" you may as well have the year dates listed in parenthesis after the show link. This way persons browsing the article entry will know which slot the show listed falls under. I put a few of them into place already, mostly for the 2004-2005 shows.
I fixed up the shows listing with some missing shows/movies, and added the broadcast years to the best of my knowledge. Due to the often chaotic nature of their scheduling, I only included the premiere years for the canceled and ended series (i.e. most of the anime). --SwordfishII 03:13, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Why "anime" and "non-anime" headers? Doesn't Adult Swim itself divide them into Adult Swim Action and Adult Swim Comedy, with different department heads et al. Why not use the system they actually use? --Sketchee 07:07, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Would it be safe to say that Yu Yu Hakusho and Lupin now belong in the "expired series" part of this page? --Kazukun 23:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Weren't there other shows like .hack and knights of the zodiac that Adult Swim used to show? Why aren't they listed?
"Adult" Oriented
I challenge the notion that [adult swim] is actually aimed at adults. Nearly all of their programming is TV-14 (only recent re-grading has produced anything TV-MA). I think the primary audience is teens/college students. --feitclub July 5, 2005 22:46 (UTC)
- Adult Swim (which is rated seperately from CN by Neilson) is the #1 cable network with adults 18-34. "Adult Swim makes it into its tenth week straight as #1 in total day delivery in key young adult demos, according to Nielsen Media Research. The block ranked #1 among ad-supported cable networks for total day delivery of adults 18-34, adults 18-24, men 18-34 and men 18-24." http://www.animationinsider.net/article.php?articleID=771
- Those parental guidlines aren't for adults. Adults can watch a program of any rating. What makes a program geared toward an older audience isn't the level of violence or sex. --Sketchee July 6, 2005 04:08 (UTC)
Indeed TV-14 may interest adults, but the point is that Cartoon Network has deliberately and openly admitted that it will not cross the line to "TV-MA" out of concern that the image would cause concern among parents and thus have negative market consequences for its daytime programming. (Comedy Central has less of a concern and freely runs TV-MA cartoons at night). The fact that Cartoon Network/Adult Swim are now to separate "networks" or "stations" has changed nothing in this regard. Furthermore, although CN/AS themselves have said nothing to the press to indicate any such plan, it is a well-established marketing strategy to advertise openly for one age group with the full knowledge and hope that such advertisements also appeal to the immediately lower age group. For example, it is common knowledge that "R-rated" movies widely appeal to teens of all ages-- teens who find little difficulty in gaining access to these films despite being younger than seventeen. Advertising of a type for adults, but rating of a type for teens... I believe I see why AS does not want to offend parents. Traditionally, the 18-34 male demographic is highly valued for marketing. I do not doubt that Adult Swim aims its programming largely or even primarily at this group. However, based on available evidence (Ratings, advertising style, programming choice) I propose that Adult Swim does not aim exclusively at adults. And therefore agree to the above challenge in a way, and recommend a change. -anon business dude
- Adult Swim is mostly directed at collage students, who are adults. So, they are aimed at adults. Dposse 20:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Template
I made a simple template to link to {{Adultswim}}, {{adultswim}}. What do you think? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 23:46, 2005 August 6 (UTC)
- Per MoS guidelines Adult Swim shouldn't be written as "[adult swim]", but always "Adult Swim". On a separate note, do you really need all those colours in your signature? It makes it a bit long... ed g2s • talk 17:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Adult Swim bumps?
The article says that "The current bumps feature black "cards" with white text on them, which discuss everything from news about the programming to personal staff opinions on unrelated subjects." But I find that's not always the case, at least with some of the shows I watch. I don't actually watch many different shows on Adult Swim, but I do know that at least the two shows Futurama and Inu Yasha have different bumps; Inu Yasha's bumps seem to just be kinda random signs (and a bit of Japanese) against kinda random backgrounds, except for the one to signal the start of the show, which is the words 'Inu Yasha' sliding onto a blue background and then a little white dog in a cart at the bottom barking. I don't quite remember Futurama's bumps, but they definitely aren't the black cards with white text. StarPrincessLita 15:22, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
- The Futurama bumps are the white-on-black cards, as well as ATHF bumps. —MESSEDROCKER (talk) 02:22, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Message Boards
It talks about the Adult Swim message boards in the article, yet they don't appear to work.. ? (Nor have they ever worked before) It might be my PC though.
- Adult Swim message boards DO work -- but thanks to their infamous "upgrade" late last year, you need to log in first, then click on the Message Board link under the 'Fans' section. --Creepy Crawley 03:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- They work just fine. You just need to register to them to gain access. It has always been that way, even before the upgrade. But don't worry, it's free and it doesn't take long to register. Interrupt_feed
Charles McCarthy
Let it be known by one and all...Chuck, you have been given your last warning. Squiggyfm 20:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Is this Charles McCarthy stuff vanity material or AS promotion???
- [as] wouldn't use wikipedia to promote. Squiggyfm 03:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
TheLateDentarthurdent 09:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
- Vanity material. The guy is a freakin' joke. He wants to be hired by Adult Swim without going through the turnerjobs.com website that 99.9% of people hired by the company have to/have had to/must go through. Actually, if you want to be technical, he'd be hired by Time Warner, then placed into their Cartoon Network division, then eventually filtered into a position for Adult Swim (like the Junior Writer position or Flash Animation position or whatever). But at any rate, it's just some dork with a beard trying to stand out in the crowd and hoping like Hell that it works enough to find him a job at Adult Swim as . . . well, I don't really know what he wants to do. If you look at his resume I'm guessing some sort of animator job.
- At any rate, I deleted the links -- and I don't doubt he put them up himself in the first place. What a dweeb, and a LAZY dweeb at that. I can admire his iniative, but as one who wants to work for Adult Swim myself, and who has no "connections" inside -- thus being forced to whore out through the turnerjobs.com site and go up against hundreds, if not thousands of applications -- I think he's a douchebag for even trying this. I've stated as such to him in e-mail, and he took it as a joke. Go figure. I don't see any reason to put the links back in, unless he gets hired by them, in which case perhaps put them back in to show "hey, here's some dumbass who made himself stand out and be noticed by Adult Swim by ACTING like a dumbass." For now, they're gone. --Creepy Crawley 03:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I think the best way to get rid of him is to kill him with kindness. If he gets the job at Adult Swim, he will probably stop posting and editing this article. Maybe we should just encourage him and email Adult Swim, and tell them to hire him. Yurdamannowdog 07:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Give it a rest, Charles. You make it so obvious that it's you under these accounts. Your lame attempt to be hired by Adult Swim without going through the Time Warner/turnerjobs.com website like the rest of the free world is pathetic, sad, and ignored by all. It has no place here on Wikipedia, and you have been continually warned about vandalism as a result. I suggest you quit while you're not ahead, or you will find yourself with some very non-flattering and unwanted remarks on your talk pages, as well as finding yourself blocked from editing on Wikipedia. Comcast also does not look happily upon vandals and idiots of your type. --Creepy Crawley 17:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Dear Alex C.,
Why are you so upset by Charles McCarthy? If you want a job at Adult Swim too, maybe you should be friends with him and work together with him to get hired. I checked out his website adultswimshouldhirecharlesmccarthy.blogspot.com and he seems like a funny guy. Maybe you are just a little jealous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.140.40.233 (talk • contribs) . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.56.16.192 (talk • contribs) .
- We need to get a Moderator in here and ban the IPs that are posting the McCarthy vandalism. Dposse 17:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- McCarthy posts have as much relevance as myself posting that I want a job at [as]...which I do. But will me using this as a message board get me job there? No. If anything, it would keep me from getting a job there. Squiggyfm 03:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I found this http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/02/06/43e689ed06a07 recently. Does this add any validity to his claims? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.140.40.233 (talk • contribs) .
- Answer- No. Its a student run paper. Anyone can write for a student paper (plus, its independant). Furthermore, 71.56.16.192...you're on notice. I've said it before and I'll say it again, PEOPLE WHO DON'T YET HAVE A JOB WITH [AS]REN'T PART OF [AS] AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT HAVE A MENTION ON SAID [AS]'S ENTRY. Squiggyfm 18:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Charles, read Wikipedia:Self-promotion. If you really need to put it on Wikipedia, put it on your own user page. That's the only place it could possibly be appropriate. - mako 20:33, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't see the problem with this young lad's additions to the Adult Swim article. He doesn't erase anyone elses entries. His additions are not obtrusive. As far as validity to an encyclopedia entry, I think that there are quite a few things in this article that could be removed. Plus, how do we know that this didn't happen? I for one found his website very interesting and I wouldn't have found it without Wikipedia. If Wikipedia is truely about the desemination of information in the advancement of learning, I can't see why so many people are so violently opposed to this young man's entries. It seems that this was all stirred up by Creepy Crawly over what I can only see as jealousy, and he himself has less than a spotless record. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.140.40.233 (talk • contribs) .
- "Vanity information can come in many forms. It can come in the form of an entire article, or it can come in more subtle, but equally unencyclopedic advertising links, personal page links in articles, personal or semi-personal photos, or any other information that appears to be intended to distract readers away from the main topic of any article towards the promotion of personal or commercial interests." - mako 23:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Mako, I think you have made my point for me with your quote. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.56.16.192 (talk • contribs) .

Irrelevant trivia
I have deleted the last item in the "trivia" section, reading as follows:
- Adult swim anime is also frequently referrenced in clan "Anime_Sekai" on Battle.Net games. It's tag resembles, some-what of Adult Swim's. Anime_Sekai's tag is A[S], and is often mistaked for "Adult Swim"
Besides being ungrammatical, this appears to be nothing more than a reference to and advertisement for a specific clan/guild on an online game. It seems to me that most of this article's audience will never have even heard of this clan, let alone be interested in its (very tenuous) relationship to Adult Swim. It is a comment on the clan, not on Adult Swim itself, and therefore does not belong in an article on Adult Swim. However, I would be more than happy to hear an explanation if anyone considers this item to be of more note than I do. --Logician 09:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Heh, you could've just deleted the reference without going to such lengths to justify yourself. It was obviously inserted as an inappropriate advertisement, or at best, non-notable fluff. --Cyde Weys 00:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

April Fool's
On April fools's day, I noticed they inserted farting noises in the cartoons. Can anyone tell me why and some other information about this? The Republican 00:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
what do you want to know? there's not much to tell. It was part of their April Fools prank. They put fart noises in the Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell episodes, while playing the Mr. T, Chuck Norris, and Boo Boo Runs Wild cartoons. dposse 03:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
That April fools thing was dumb.They still managed to do the fart sounds at the stroke of 12 o'clock when it was already April 2.justtext 10 April 2006
- I do not know about the rest of you, but I was PISSED about that. Us anime folks get one night to enjoy our programming and instead we get ****ed with. Thats messed up. TomStar81 09:46, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
"Saved by the Bell" revival
This seriously looks like a big joke, and [adult swim] has been known to mess with their viewers. Consider this: http://www.adultswim.com/williams/news/articles/news085.html. 68.14.76.151 05:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I realy liked it , the noises matched the facial expressions
I protected the page.
I protected the page because the Saved by the Bell episodes is a hot button topic and i think that the page should be protected because of that. dposse 15:47, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- The bit about the planned revival was an obvious joke and needed removal or at least a disclaimer, but I'm not sure about protecting the page without discussion. 68.14.76.151 07:23, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
You wouldn't believe how many people think it's true. dposse 14:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I was the one who put in the planned revival, since I didn't think it was a joke. But then again, most of the original cast members (particularry Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkeley, Tiffani Thessian, and Dustin Diamond) have other projects going on right now anyways. As for the recent vandalism, don't look at me. I only add useful info.
BTW, to dposse: are you the sane dposse from the ASMB's? This is jcgerard. Just letting you know. Jgera5 16:18, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see any protection in the history, just an additon of the protected template. You need an administrator or administrator privileges to protect pages, just adding a template won't protect anything. I could do it for you if you want, but looking at the history of the page, there doesn't seem to be enough vandalism to really call for a protection. You could always try Requests for Protection and have someone there check it out, though. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 19:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
WHY?
Tell Me Who's Bright Idea Was It to Replace Several Hours That Could Be Airing Funny Cartoons like Ed, Edd n Eddy Johnny Bravo and The Powerpuff Girls With These Dirty Filthy Shows? I'm Surprised No One Has Complained About This I Mean When It Came On On Sundays It Wasn't that bad but now it comes on every freaking night! Why do People Assume All the Kids in the world are in the bed at 10:00pm? why not just have a anime channel that showcases this kinda stuff —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blakebs (talk • contribs)
Right. Well, first off, sign your comments, kids. Three of these: "~". Pretty simple. Second, You don't have to capitalize the fist letter of every word. Or is that just the site censering your sadistic abuse of the caps lock? Whatever the case, if you don't understand proper use of capitalization, don't capitalize. When I was younger, I didn't. Third, Adult Swim is a proper block. The people behind it used to work on Toonami. Yeah. "Kids love it". I'll admit, the recent stuff isn't alwqays high quality, but it's not always "filthy" either. Grow up and get over it, Wikipedia isn't the place for your immature temper tantrums. Ace Class Shadow 23:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Plus, it's been a long while since Adult Swim moved into this timeslot, so complaining about it now on a Wikipedia discussion page seems kinda..... worthless. RPH 20:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
wow. um, this stuff is aimed at teenagers, buddy. most younger kids are in bed by then. if swear words make you cry, go to bed at the time mommy tells you. and why do you capitalize Every Single Word? What The Heck Is Up With That? Joeyramoney 07:06, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Forum - Incoherent Babbling
For some reason GIPUs "69.86.3.62" and "69.119.248.137" are consistly vandalizing the page in favor of what I would assume are their respective usernames. The obvious easy answer would be to allow both names, but that would only lead to more vandalism by other forumers. I have added a "dablink" template message and I am currently attempting to get the page protected. Any other ideas on how to stop these vandals are welcome. Ace Class Shadow 00:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
You should go to their talkpages and add vandalism warning templates. If they continue to vandalize despite warnings, and you have warned them more then three or four times, please report them to an administrator or the Admin Intervention against Vandalism page so they could be dealth with accordingly.

Pee Wee's Playhouse on Adult Swim
As a kid, I was a Pee Wee fan. And even now, I enjoy watching his show (despite the little incident in the movie theater.) But can someone please explain to me why they have decided to air it on Adult Swim? -- Sasuke-kun27 17:20, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's quite obvious why they have added it to their lineup. Adult Swim has a wacky sense of humor. Airing Pee Wees Playhouse is part of their wacky sense of humor, and part of who their target auidence is. Stoned/drunk collage kids. dposse 23:02, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hey Hey!!! Not all of its programs are for stoned/drunk people. Its got Family Guy, Futurama, and Robot Chicken are watched by kinda normal people. --69.67.231.77 04:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Dust Devil (musician) merge.
I strongly disagree with the merge of that article into this one. Even if it's true that he produced music for adult swim, which isn't very clear that he did, it has no place on this article. dposse 20:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Concur with dposse; after reviewing Dust Devil (musician), I believe the histories of Dust Devil and Adult Swim are not so inextricably linked as to warrant a merge into this article. Perhaps a merge into a more appropriate article would be warranted; as it stands, the only relevant tie between the two aforementioned subjects is already in this article (under Trivia), and the article 'to be merged' has more information than just that which I believe would be lost. That, and perhaps there should have been a notice put up on this talk page for that AfD so that those of us watching this article could have weigh in. —TangentCube -c -t 21:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

In the beginning
I got onto the Adult Swim bandwagon fairly early, so I remember the "prototype" version that was later eclipsed by the present version, with the bumps and the music and such. Could we get a complete history of the program, and a picture of the original adult swim logo? -Litefantastic 03:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

- *sniff* Yes. It's been so long. Where did you find it? -Litefantastic 16:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- I remember it was in the article at some point. Also, I agree; there should probably be a 'history of Adult Swim' section. Sourced, of course ;) —TangentCube /c /t 17:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

"Criticism of Adult Swim"
I would love to see a "Criticism of Adult Swim" section, especially about how "Adult Swim screws over the anime fans." Heeroyuy135 05:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- about the only time adult swim "screwed over an anime fan" was by getting rid of CowboyBebop.... the rest of the time they screw over everyone else by adding anime... seriously... replace robot chicken with MORE CRAPIME? Great call.
- No. All that would be POV and original research. dposse 16:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Any fair and citeable criticism should be included into a relevant section of the article. Criticism sections encourage POV behavior and should be avoided, but there is always room for balance. Robovski 00:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
It's insulting the way they removed Cowboy Bebop. As long as they keep Blood+, Ghost in a Shell, and Fullmetal Alchemist, I'll continue to watch [adultswim]. -Yancyfry 02:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
S Gun 1 / Robot 21
On the schedule at the Adult Swim website, there is an entry for "S Gun", with a note saying "Smoking Gun", for the weeks of October 23 and 30 (M-Th). A post on the message boards claims it could be Smoking Gun TV, which is listed (and redlinked) on the Court TV article. Does anyone know more about this? —TangentCube /c /t 02:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Eureka Seven and Extra Disclaimer
If anything, Eureka Seven will become the first show to need the "American Cowboys" extra disclaimer back-to-back-to-back (3 in a row) assuming that they mark Ep. 28 with it. Heeroyuy135 04:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I also have a feeling that there was a glitch in airing the same disclaimer in Ep. 29, an episode that really doesn't contain any violence. Heeroyuy135 05:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps it's a permanent thing now. —TangentCube /c /t 06:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- It does not seem especially violent to me. Perhaps they feel that some children would be disturbed by the fact that established and sympathetic characters like Charles and Ray Beams are seen to be killed and as dead bodies. JRSpriggs 12:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Beyond Ep. 29, they only mention Charles and Ray Beams but they don't show anymore of them...Heeroyuy135 19:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- I cannot explain that. However, a similar problem exists with the "Death" episode of Fullmetal Alchemist (which logically should be the last episode). JRSpriggs 09:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- The last one that aired (the viloence free one) could have been a practical joke thing that AS is pulling on us. Remeber, us anime guys/girls always seem to get the short end of that stick. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Massive cleanup needed
I've added 2 tags to it recently: cleanup-laundry (list cleanup basically) and advert (for advertisement). The article has a few good starting paragraphs...then goes downhill. It has a current schedule and coming soon sections. Wikipedia isn't a TV guide, nor should it ever be. Plus there is a huge trivia section that needs to be cleaned as well. RobJ1981 06:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- For starters, I say the Message Board section has got to go. Mshake3 01:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like we got a lot of that stuff cleared out now. Although, the parts about Family Guy and Futurama might be worth keeping, but probably should be put in a better place than they were. For now I'll just paste those two parts here to help stage them for the article. -- Ned Scott 07:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- After Fox cancelled Family Guy, Adult Swim began airing reruns of the show on April 20, 2003. Being on a cable network, Adult Swim's edition of Family Guy was less censored. Unlike its days on Fox, Family Guy has had consistent time slots since, at either 11 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. Eastern time, with Futurama at the other slot (Fox moved Family Guy around to as many as 28 different time slots before officially canceling the show in 2002). That, along with the show being released on DVD at the same time, brought unexpected popularity to the series and eventually ended up convincing Fox to bring back the show[1][2], which began re-airing in May 2005. Under a special agreement with Fox, Adult Swim airs the new episodes at least two weeks after they debut on Fox, but Fox must have advertising for Adult Swim during the show's airing on its network. Included in the same deal was Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's new series, American Dad!
- Futurama has also found new life in syndication on Adult Swim, enjoying high ratings as a benefit of also receiving a steady time slot. When it aired on Fox, Futurama was put in the virtually dead-air time of 7:00 p.m. The biggest drawback was that many televised sports (especially football) ran late into this programming block, so Futurama was constantly being pre-empted by sports; more often than not, the episode was completely skipped while other programming would air in their entirety later that night. The high ratings has also helped the show to get four direct-to-DVD movies greenlit and possibly new episodes[3]. The show will move to Comedy Central once AS's rights to the show expire in 2008.
- Some re-wording and more references might help too. -- Ned Scott 07:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- We've discussed this already(look up). The schedule stays for two reasons. One, it's the central thing about adult swim. that's basically all they are. Second, this article isn't the first to have a schedule. Go look at the article for Toonami. The schedule has been there for a very long time, and no one has ever touched it. The schedule on the adult swim article shouldn't be any different. dposse 01:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- Precedents are not always correct. The Toonami schedules and whatnot should go too, under WP:NOT#DIR, which is policy and therefore takes precedence over contributor's wishes. —TangentCube /c /t 02:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- The major networks' articles (which is more important than f'n toonami) all have a schedule, so I can see a reason for keeping it. But if it is kept, then it shouldn't be changed to include one time specials! Mshake3 21:59, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- I really hate to get into the whole "we can do it if that article does it" thing. People need to remember that we can't fix every problem at the same time. If something is a good idea, then it should be able to stand on it's own, not simply because we can find another article that does the same thing. It's a horrible loop, because you can't get it off article A because article B has it, but article B has it because article A has it. -- Ned Scott 06:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Is it so much to ask...
...that the one night of the week dedicated to anime remain intact? For pete's sake people, this sh*t is getting old. Just for once couldn't the comedy people get the short end of the April Fool's Day stick, or would that be too much to ask? I know that anime people don't have the largest following on [AS], but I as far as I am concerned this is still a form of discrimination against anime viewers. 75.6.216.157 07:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Separate from Cartoon Network?
People keep saying that it's just a network that shares space with Cartoon Network but when it originally aired it was a programming block. Now it's some network totally disconnected from Cartoon Network. What I want to see is some stone cold proof. When I do see such proof, I'll be fine but until then, it's all fake and it proves that it's just a block. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megagents (talk • contribs) 12:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- We already have a source. Did you read the article? —TangentCube, Dialogues 14:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I have a problem with this quote in the article
Adult Swim, then a "spinoff" of Cartoon Network, premiered on September 2, 2001. Originally, it only aired uncut anime. Among the first aired shows were Cowboy Bebop, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083, Big O, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Pilot Candidate.
What do you mean by "spinoff" it was block and what's with all of the stuff about them originally airing uncut Japanese cartoons? If you want to educate readers then you should mention that Adult Swim originally aired American cartoons with humor and only one Japanese cartoons with action, which was Cowboy Bebop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megagents (talk • contribs) 01:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- I remember the night of September 2, 2001 distinctly. They aired Home Movies, The Brak Show, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021, and I think Aqua Teen Hunger Force (the first few I'm certain of, but I did have a bedtime in those days and I missed much of the rest of the night, so it's possible I'm mixing it up with the second week, either or both of which was recorded on a VCR for me). When they began to air anime, they aired it on Saturday while the non-anime lineup was aired on Sunday and reaired on Thursday. Whether the anime lineup was the very next Saturday I'm not sure, but it definitely wasn't the day before the first Sunday airing. —Eclipsed Moon 10:37, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Writer's Guild Strike?
Does anyone know if the writer's guild strike is affecting adult swim shows? If show productions are being halted, would that be worth mentioning in the article?
JesseZinVT 22:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I can't speak for all of them, but it wouldn't have any affect on the anime series. I don't think it would be worth mentioning in this article though, as it isn't really specific to the block of shows per se. Any of the currently airing shows that are affected should, however, have it mentioned in their respective articles. AnmaFinotera 22:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Recent Troubles?
I was wondering if perhaps mention should be made of what seem to be a recent downturn in fan sentiment regarding the line-up? Several commentators have cited the lackluster response to premieres like Squidbillies and 12oz. mouse (several conversations have even centered on whether the latter is some sort of attempt at getting people to watch a show that is purposefully unfunny). There has also been an marked drop in viewers in the action/anime segment, with S-CRYED and to a lesser extent Samurai Champloo receiving less interest than, say, the spring 2005 lineup.
- The comedy part of the problem stems from all the 'good' shows being retired for the new ones, and the anime end of the problem is a result of adult swim consistantly screwing the anime fanbase to the point where most viewer who watch for the anime have given up on [as] becuase they simply do not care about the action. On top of all that they still had there old guy back in '05, but he stepped down after that ATHF bomb scare incident. To get more to the point: to you I say that this can go in the article if you can find citations, and to me I say that this is n;t a forum, so I need to take this someplace else.

- All GAs and FAs that I have ever seen, have focused on English-speaking countries for the international broadcast, and have not mentioned the other countries. And that makes sense. The non-English-speaking countries that broadcast Adult Swim likely have their own wiki article on the respective other-language wikipedia, and a list of interwikis to these wikipedias is below the toolbox. Chances are, if an English speaker really wants to know when and how the show is broadcast in Spain, he will certainly know what language they speak in Spain (duh!), find the correct interwiki link, and be able to speak the language. – sgeureka t•c 12:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
I don't agree with you. I'm from Spain and i only read the english Wikipedia. It shouldn't be needed to read several sources to find what you're looking for. The section of the article is called "International", not "English-Speaking countries". Also, most spanish tv channels broadcast with dual audio (original and dubbed), so i don't need to know spanish to be interested in watching spanish Adult Swim. What you are proposing is splitting Wikipedia in several "regional" Wikipedias? I don't agree with this. More and more, if there were regional Wikipedias, there should be at least one global Wikipedia, and it should be the english one, don't you think? So i ask you to revert changes and include again references to non english-speaking countries. May be, if you found this article too long, it could be splitted in to articles, one about Adult Swim, and one about Adult Sim - International Broadcasting. (Regodon Talk) 09:15, 07 April 2009 (UTC)
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 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)

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.
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
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?
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? <:(

Adult Swim Logo (2001-2003)
There is no reason as to why the original Adult Swim logo can not be put on the article. A "Non-Blurry" image of it doesn't exist as the logo is old. The Pinwheel logo (from article Nickelodeon) is an example of an old logo that is in the form of a blurred image. This logo happens to be blurred as well, though not enough to not be readable at all, but just a little bit. It is fine the way it is and there is no reason as to why it shouldn't be on the Adult Swim article. Notshane (Talk | Contributions) 3:17, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think so, it is not fine with it and it is too blurry. I think the image is unnecessary for the article. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 08:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
How about i make it a smaller size? When a big blurry image is decreased in size the blur usually goes away. Notshane (Talk | Contributions) 3:22, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
No? So your saying its bad for an article to have logo history on it? That, HISTORY DOESN'T MATTER?! Or is it that you despise the logo and your trying to figure out excuses to not have it shown on the article. Or better yet, even if the image was in better quality you would still remove it. I guess if Jj98 can't get his precious 1080p image quality then its the end of the world. This is just one little thing i want on the article. If you can't let that image be on the article, I'm gonna keep this up. I'll find better quality images until it stays on there because people need to know that this logo existed. Notshane (Talk | Contributions) 3:26, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Please be civil, it is not necessary to have an image of an old logo on the article. The image is to blurry. One last move, I will take you WP:ANI. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 08:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
How is it not necessary? Just give me a good explanation as to why its not necessary to have an old logo on an article. Nickelodeon, TeenNick and Nick Jr. do it. Notshane (Talk | Contributions) 3:35, July 30, 2011 (UTC)
- It fails WP:NFCC#8. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 08:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed on this not belonging in the article - interesting that another editor has now taken up edit-warring over this - I wonder if a WP:SPI is on order? MikeWazowski (talk) 18:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Why not?. It's the old logo. No reason to delete it just because you don't like it. Leave it alone. Mjpresson (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Also acceptable per Wikipedia:Logos. Mjpresson (talk) 21:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Keep image: User:MikeWazowski seems to be engaging in an edit war over an image and has now removed it a fourth time, which appears to be edit warring. I am not connected with this article or its editors and have never edited it. That image is acceptable per Wikipedia:Logos and is informative and contextual.

Toonami April Fools' Day stunt
The Toonami Event on March 30th, 2012 is unconfirmed as an April Fool's Day joke. It may not be considered a joke as it is unverifiable which is not allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcmaehl (talk • contribs) 22:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- That is your opinion on the matter that is not supported by the evidence, such as the "host" denoting it as April Fools' Day and reliable sources stating it happened.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm not saying it DIDN'T happen, I'm just saying that it might not of been a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcmaehl (talk • contribs) 00:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
I gave this discussion a proper section heading, since I'm adding to it. Apparently a lot of other people are hoping this is more than just a one-time teaser; there's significant talk about it on Twitter, apparently including even Steve Blum (voice of Toonami's host T.O.M and a number of other characters from shows seen on both Toonami and Adult Swim). T.O.M. even seems to have his own Twitter account linking to Cartoon Network's site, so maybe the stunt was actually a clever way to gauge interest in a revival of the franchise.

Rehashed broadcast schedule in the Live Stream section
This actually appears to be redundant, as the first sentence of the article succinctly specifies the broadcast hours as 9 PM - 6 AM Eastern/ Pacific time. Since the section discusses the "Live Stream", it is clear that the hours match those of the television broadcast. Therefore, I will be bold and remove the table per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Roberticus (talk) 21:04, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Designated pool time
Shouldn't there also be an article on the designated pool time for adults known as Adult Swim? I wasn't expecting to be directed to a tv programming block when I was searching for information on the cultural aspects of pool practice. 144.32.60.216 (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Predecessors
Haven't there been even more audacious, more chaotic predecessors to Adult Swim since the early 80s? I'm not talking about pirate channels, but similar official night-time slots on established channels. I think they should be mentioned either in the History section, or at the very least under See also. --2003:56:6D1B:C671:7928:CB0F:76DB:E444 (talk) 00:11, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

A network, not a programming block?
A flippant answer in the archives purports to answer an editor asking for RS citing that Adult Swim is a network and not simply a programming block on Cartoon Network. But it gives no link to a cite, and I am not seeing anything in this article that concretely cites this. Perhaps a cite was there and removed during subsequent editing. Could someone please indicate why programming that first-runs only on Cartoon Network during certain hours is a "network"? --Tenebrae (talk) 20:46, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- OK, it's been two weeks without comment. I'm removing that uncited claim that Adult Swim is a network. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- This turns out to be a WP:FRINGE claim by a single redlink editor. No TV listing, not TV Guide, not Zap2it, not any onscreen cable guide considers Adult Swim a separate network. If this redlink editor wants to pursue a fringe claim based on his unique reading of using different Nielsen ratings for different dayparts, he's welcome to call an RfC. But there is no consensus for this one editor's extraordinary claim. --Tenebrae (talk) 03:49, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
Question about April Fools Prank?
Do they do the pranks the night before April Fools like on March 31st? Or do they air the pranks after midnight on April 1st, or do they wait to the next Adult Swim airing at 7 or 8 PM on April 1st? --Squidwardfan (talk) 14:52, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Satellite TV Running Time
Adult Swim airs from 5:00 PM to 3:00 AM on satellite TV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.67.109.78 (talk) 02:34, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Do you have any valid references that can be included to back up this claim? YborCityJohn (talk) 03:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- I remember reading in the TV Guide that satellite TV hours may be three hours back than listed. I sometimes watch Adult Swim on DISH Network, and that's the time it airs.68.67.109.78 (talk) 23:41, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Page Semi-Protection Notification
Just so everyone is aware, this afternoon on the Wikipedia:Requests for page protection page I asked that the Adult Swim Wikipedia article be Semi-Protected due to "Persistent disruptive editing", this request was shortly thereafter approved and will remain so until 16 July 2019. What this means if you are an anonymous IP address user? In no short terms it means that you will not be able to make any edits on this or any other Wikipedia article that is considered protected until the Semi-Protection expires 1 year from now. If you really need to make a change to the article you should consider registering for a Wikipedia account. Please see Wikipedia:Why create an account? for further information. Remember that signing up for an Wikipedia account is a privilege NOT A RIGHT, if you become disruptive or commit vandalism you may be subject to disciplinary action by a Wikipedia Administrator. Be respectful to other Wikipedians. Thank you. YborCityJohn (talk) 04:25, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

- Request Denied: As was previously discussed inclusion of every subsidiary and parent company is unnecessary and makes the InfoBox clunky.

Joke-fer
@Fayenatic london recently tagged this page for using the phrase "two joke-fer" in describing occassions when the network would run two April Fools jokes in one year. I'm pretty sure the phrase is meant to imply "two jokes for the price of one" and could be rephrased as "...in another rare two-fer joke," however I wonder if it would make more sense to just remove the gimmicky phrase or replace it with a "two-part joke", or "second joke". Any preferences? Hoof Hearted (talk) 20:25, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
@BookDen: did you have any preference? Hoof Hearted (talk) 17:42, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Adult Swim is still owned by Turner Broadcasting System
I changed Owner Turner Broadcasting System with Warner Media in small letters. LOOK at the AdultSwim.com website it CLEARLY states "TM & © 2019 Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. A WarnerMedia Company.

Please DO NOT change this unless you can provide proof positive proof that Turner changed hands to a new division. Thank you. YborCityJohn (talk) 02:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Owner confirmation
As you all know, there's been talk on this wiki whether or not we should list Warner Bros. or Turner Broadcasting System as the owners of both Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, including their subsidiaries. Well, last month, WarnerMedia held their investor's conference which was intended to promote HBO Max, and around the 1:09:23 minute mark in a live-streamed version hosted on their website, it actually listed CN and Adult Swim (and Turner Classic Movies, for some reason) as WB subsidiaries. Since this confirmation is pretty much official at this point, are we clear to list WB as the owner of Adult Swim now? IceWalrus236 (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Do we really need to have Death Tributes
Having a Death Tributes seems trivial and in my opinion clunks up the article because every time someone famous or of important dies and it is acknowledged on Adult Swim invariably it will be included in the Adult Swim Wikipedia article to the point where you'll be seeing over half a page of just death tributes. I would like to ultimately see this go but before anything is done I would like to hear the opinions of other Wikipedians and Adult Swim fans first. YborCityJohn (talk) 08:23, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

This person needs to be stopped. YborCityJohn (talk) 07:52, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- hi @YborCityJohn:. thabk you for your consern. i reverted his edit, and warned him. however, you need to attempt to resolve the issue on his talk page before a report. note that revertting his canges does no constitute edit warring. I would also reccomnd trying twinkle for offishial warningss. if you have any questions leave them on my talk page. hope thst helps Scaledish! Talkish? Statish. 01:58, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
ps. sorry about the typos, looked up the wikipedia entery on adult swim from my kindle, and duty called. the kindle is not the besg wriing experience. :( ;(
Hi, User:Scaledish first thank you for making the revert I appreciate it, second I did leave a message on his talk page, in fact I did that before I posted a message here, third they did violate the 3RR rule so it is considered edit warring technically, fourth and finally I didn't see your message on their talk page are you sure you put in on the right talk page? Again thank you for your assistance I appreciate it. YborCityJohn (talk) 07:38, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Damn @YborCityJohn: your right. looking at that page from my computer, I now see your message. (I guess my kindle is not the best wikipedia reader :). same thing for the talk page, dident go through. my apology, I will file a 3RR.
- Hi Scaledish looks like someone deleted your 3RR report and archived it without an admin review, any idea what happened? YborCityJohn (talk) 04:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- @YborCityJohn: No clue. I am on a bit of a wikibreak right now, so I will not be investigating. might be worth looking into it if you are passionate about it. I recommend looking through the edit history of that page, finding my edit, and going through each change up until you find its gone. alternatively you can let it go to rest until Adult Swim is changed by that user again. really sorry, just worn out from covid-19 Scaledish!

Adult Swim's headquarters in Atlanta
Just for everyone's information, Adult Swim's physical address is 1065 Williams Street NW, Atlanta, GA not 1066, there is no 1066 Williams Street NW. If the information is taken from Google Maps there is currently an error there and I submitted a edit to change it. If you look at Adult Swim's website (https://www.adultswim.com/footer/submissions/index.html) they show 1065 Williams Street although they omit NW from address. Please be courtesy and don't change this information again. Thank you. YborCityJohn (talk) 14:15, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Made a mistake
Sorry about the revert. I made a mistake and didn’t check what was changed.CycoMa (talk) 21:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Consensus on streaming media.
If you look on literally every single other page for an American cable network, these are streaming services directly providing feed to the network's linear programming. Going by this logic, adding Roku and Amazon Fire TV would also open the door to argue for the addition of iOS, Android, Google Play, Apple TV, etc. You know what they all have in common? They only provide access to Adult Swim's website or app with limited availability for content watching. This is no better than adding the website on that section as well.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 05:10, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- You are completely wrong, Amazon Fire TV and Roku does provide access to Adult Swim's live nightly broadcast and they have thousands of programs and episodes which is far from limited in their app catalog which is in addition to their marathon stream, I use to Amazon Fire TV on a regular basis at home and when I travel to watch the live broadcast. You really need to do research before you change an article. YborCityJohn (talk) 05:53, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Ok? And was a login needed to access the live feed of Adult Swim? Do not say no, because that's impossible and you know it. You need to login with a pay TV subscription of some sort and I know this first hand.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 05:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- For the live broadcast on the apps yes for the marathons no but that doesn't mean it should be excluded, you need to log in on other webstreams. YborCityJohn (talk) 05:59, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- So, in effect you just validated my exact point above John. The availability section is for services that are capable of giving you access to live TV, not the streaming media devices themselves.--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 06:00, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- I valided nothing, I am getting tired of arguging with you. Have a nice rest of the night. YborCityJohn (talk) 06:04, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Bro I literally just thoroughly explained to you why they shouldn't be listed on that section, why can't you be mature and accept what I just explained to you?--GalaxyFighter55 (talk) 06:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Death Tributes
I feel like the list of dead celebrities Adult Swim has apparently paid tribute to is far too long. Some of these I can definitely believe and recall seeing (Steve Jobs, MF DOOM, basically anyone who was an Adult Swim alumni), but the length and the complete lack of sources makes me think that some of these are false and that no one's gonna check because, again, the list is extremely long (57 celebrities!). Billy Kametz, the last one in the sentence, only got a memorial tweet, no bumper.
I also question why the bump about Sherman Hensley gets its own paragraph (again, unsourced). The Croker and Norm paragraphs are fine, I just think that the first paragraph needs a major slimming down. kianworld (talk) 05:17, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
