August 28. Looks like all that extra time won’t just be a hub for KOTH syndication. deadline.com/2023/06/adult-swim-expansion-nostalgia-block-checkered-past-cartoon-network-1235398446/Dexter’s Lab, Grim Adventures, Courage, and Ed Edd n’ Eddy are what’s listed for now. It used to be a fanboy’s wet dream for Adult Swim to air these old cartoons somewhere, and it appears they got their wish from the sounds of it. I guess this is what they should’ve done in the first place? Only still have it on Cartoon Network proper and not Adult Swim? Guess it’s the same with the decisions made for UWE/Adventures With Superman. They’re finally convinced this would all do best with the older audience, and I suppose there’s a bit of truth there. Not the type of news I was expecting. |

Holy crap! I wasn't expecting AS to do something like this with its new expansion!
This is a much better use of its new time slot.

I’m not even sure at this point anymore. It’s been confusing everyone. I’d say they would announce a big change in development more clearly than just dropping a bumper without elaborating. |

Yes, because we all know kids go to bed at 5.

At least the entire purpose of the block partially will be to combat this type of problem. Until I get a decent source from a official claiming this to be true, I’ll gladly just assume the social media intern was sleeping behind the wheel.

Checkered Past should still have a screening over at AS Fest, one of the very few things not to be scrapped. I could see that adding some clarification, though I fear it’s only gonna be AS event planners at that spot and not credible people. Plus it’s only gonna be a trivia show, but I’ve been to the Fest more than once and they package everything a certain way for the event.

Pure insanity. I don't care if it's classic kid-oriented stuff. This is nuts.

What was even the point of saying months back that it would be 6PM? That day especially was a wild goose chase because it took an unverified source no one ever heard of to actually be right. Now this.

New promo. Possibly one they’ll repeatedly air every single night going forward.
Just reminds me how depressing it is still that they’ve succumbed to split-screen credits. I was wondering how far the [as] ident animation team would go for these cartoons and I guess the ad spot answers that question. Prior to this, they also had the typical bump giving the whole rundown mostly straight and that was even more weird. |

Adult Swim does split screen credits now? The credits for the Superman show were intact.

It’s something they’ve practiced since mid to late October 2021 except it doesn’t *usually* impact all of their programming. Still pretty bad. To my knowledge, they’ve even sped up shows and removed credits outright even past midnight schedule just for the ad crunch.

Launch day!
5:00PM - [Dexter’s Lab] Dexter’s Rival, Simion, Old Man Dexter
5:30PM - [Ed, Edd n Eddy] The Ed Touchables, Nagged to Ed
6:00PM - [Grim Adventures] Toadblatt’s School of Sorcery, Educating Grim, Its Hokey-mon!
6:30PM - [Courage] The Shadow of Courage, Le Quack
Should be what’s on the agenda today. I still see no track of the block on Adult Swim’s site or app as of yet, it’s not even in their scheduling. I’m just hoping for the best the simulcast will work fine.
EDIT: They’ve added to their schedule just now, but still no tabs.
