I agree with the Baby Blues backlash. While Mission Hill and the Oblongs aren't that bad, Baby Blues should have all of the episodes burned and the ash buried somewhere in the Ukraine. It's awful. And the reason why it's awful is because out of all the shows on Adult Swim, from ATHF and Sealab to even Home Movies and the Ripping Friends, it's just too fucking normal to be even remotely amusing. Adult Swim is about being racy and nasty and goofy and downright strange. Baby Blues is like the 45 year old child molester at a junior high talent show: it has no place there and the sooner it leaves, the better.

As for Futurama and Family Guy, they're too high profile to be on Adult Swim. Sure, they're funny and insightful and such but Adult Swim is an exclusive club. If you don't somehow fit into the Williams Street mold of being irreverent or goofy or somehow entertaining, then you're not allowed in. And while both Futurama and Family Guy do deserve a home at CN instead of the complete fuckwits at Fox, they won't really be a part of Adult Swim. They can't. Everybody knows who they are.

And as for anime.....shit, just put it on after Adult Swim. Keep the Williams Street hour safe. If they destroy that, it's all over. Enough said.
