Ratings tracking firm Nielson will begin classifying Adult Swim as a separate network on Monday, March 28th.

The move will improve Adult Swim's appearance in ratings comparisons, the new network will be #1 in its time period on basic cable among adults 18-34, with 11 of the top 50 ad-supported cable programs among adults 18-34.

Adult Swim..

Is that like, Cartoons for Adults (EG: South Park, Futurama, etc..)?

It's a shame that Adult Swim and Cartoon Network are splitting up!! Adult Swim made Cartoon Network more like a TV Channel for General Animation. In the UK it's seen more like a crappy kids channel.

I've just been to the American Cartoon Network Website and saw the TV Schedule and I was like so jealous because they had like more variety, whereas the UK Cartoon Network played like the same crap repeatedly.

Oh, and Dexters Laboratory was awesome!! It's a shame they're not doing any new episodes!! I think they should put Dexters Lab on a Full Season DVD Boxset!! (along with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 1).

In the UK we already have Toonami as a 24 Hour TV Channel. It's very boring if you ask me!!! :laugh:

Originally we had the very short lived CNX but later that got replaced by Toonami.

I think this is actually a good idea.
