Just how bad are they? (I thought it was a really strange deal.)

From what I've read, the ratings have been very, very good - especially
recently. As in historically good for some episodes for CN.

I concur, from what mArc has been saying, the ratings have been some of the
best CN has ever had, especially for one ep in particular....I think it was
WMIBACIL, which is weird but it's because there was some big ad for it that
day.

OK, things may have changed, but this is odd: Why do I never see Futurama
on CN over here? I live in England, but when I last went to America, the CN
schedule was exactly identical. Why do you guys get Futurama on CN, while
we don't?
Unless...
It's because we get it on both Sky One and Channel 4, neither of which you
have. Does anyone know? Anyone at all?

Ah, forget it.

rumoured that "Albert the Mildly Deranged" <napal...@hotmail.com>
spake thus on the subject of "Re: CN Futurama ratings?" in
alt.tv.futurama:

Futurama tripled CN's 11:00 to 11:30 PM ratings when first introduced in
February. Family Guy has had a similar effect on the 11:30 PM timeslot
since starting it's run last month. I haven't heard anything to suggest
these new ratings heights have fallen much, if at all.

BTW, I miss the old Adult Swim theme song. Bring back "Kids, outta the
pool"!
