Adult Swim is running their old shows in the 1 a.m. slot, and they will air "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy." "I'M BAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!! And this time, I'm rollin' deep!!!!!!!" ETA to clarify: The episode airs Thursday night/Friday morning.

Hi again. We might be having a special after the episode thanks to a certain Brazilian bozo. Warning: this is from MTV.com's schedule, but it isn't on my program guide. Where was this last week? Or will Camila do something even stupider to warrant her dismissal? Mark my words: this is gonna be a 31-minute version of TJ briefly covering that during the Presidio nominations, which boiled down to, "Racism's bad, mmmkay?"

Athlete from CvP? Opponent in the follow-up season? Who is Jordan Anderson, and why would she be a liability? Is she AYTO Camila? Also, I looked up Tyranny. Totally expected that to be a guy's name

I believe Kacy is done with ANW. However, I don't think Brian Arnold is also retiring. Otherwise, we would've heard about that. I liked Brett and Kacy's dog. Yes, the show needs reasons to show her crying, but dogs should be exempt, especially if they are that cute. Fifteen years is a good run.

Reminder: four Challengers will be doing Fear Factor tonight at 9. This is a reminder for you, because I just remembered this myself, and I didn't know where else to post that. Also, here is the forum for that series.

Another year, another 100 percent failure. It was an interesting time, though. It's never dull, from the ninjas to the obstacles to Matt and Akbar high on adrenaline. Maybe Kristine needs to get high on crank to match their level. Question for the offseason: is Sean Bryan a fluke? I base this on Team Ninja Warrior. Seven episodes, four teams per episode, two guys per team. That equals 56 ninjas that can be considered that good. Sean only came on the show as a midseason substitute. I'm okay with him (and Daniel) because he's not "God bothering" about his faith. But Najee was expected to make The Leap, Joe is always a favorite for Stage Three. . . but who saw Papal Ninja coming?!? While I'm thinking about it . . . Yeah, Sean needs a new nickname. However, this is the show where the final stage means conquering "Mount Mount Midori." I won't hold my breath. Worse, Daniel Gil has already claimed "Kingdom Ninja," so that's out. It's the Kidz Bop version of "Hot For Teacher"!! "She's so fit, she's so fit, she's so fit. I like my teacher!!!" Was she at the very bottom in terms of overall progress on Stage Two? That sucks. While I still consider Jessie to be Lady Alpha, Alyssa is definitely in the upper tier. Four minutes is way too long for Stage Two. Stage One should require speed, Stage Three would be about endurance, so Two should be in the middle. I don't think you should rest on any Stage other than three. On the other hand, Wingnut Alley is a nightmare. The concept was created by a guy that made Stage One, right? The show took it to a more frightening direction in terms of potential failure. That might be the Metal Spin for years to come. ETA: One good thing about the popularity of ANW is that we won't have to wait long for a taste. After last year, we had two seasons of Team Ninja Warrior (three counting "College Madness"), a skills competition, a global showdown, and a charity event. Those that wiped out long before Vegas can work on redemption early.

@Geenee . . . I meant that TARC didn't measure to TARUS. On Facebook, the latest season wrapped up, and it didn't go down well.

Checking the article again. A few more names have been added. Is Katrina from Bad Blood? That explains why I don't recognize her name. The "Unlikely" and "Maybe" lists have also been expanded. My favorite line: "CT Tamburello- No evidence he’ll be on, but he was asked. He will always be asked."

Dang, and I heard that TARC doesn't measure up. Is the Canadian television scene that bleak? I've been to Toronto four times in the span of ten years, but I can't judge that. Funny bit: Andy Dehnart seems to be over The Voice winning again as many people thought TAR's wins were automatic years ago.

Heads up: Honest Trailers will be recapping Wonder Woman tomorrow. That shouldn't be a surprise, but I just saw it indicated on Facebook.

Man, either Morty's brain is unbelievably resilient, or he's basically a hollow shell going through the motions of his own life, being hapless as he was in life. His brain should be leaking out of his ears. Basically, we don't learn much new stuff. Rick is still an asshole that needs to be dominant. Morty is the whipping boy of the universe. While I'm thinking about it: I think he was about as planned by his parents as Summer. Beth wasted zero time picking Summer to live. And Morty is a fidgeting freak, mostly because even his most innocent mistakes lead to dire consequences. Which kid from Adult Swim has the more fucked-up life: Morty Smith or Oral Puppington? ETA for @Sandman87 . . . that was Contact. South Park ripped on it a few times in the old days. Gotta love the instructions to build a second seat for Morty, and some poor schmuck paid the price.

Caught the first episode from last week. Eyecatches? Gone. End credits? Shortened. Opening credits? Shortened. Is "blasphemy" too strong a word? You do not shorten "Tank!"! EVER!!! Still don't know if Cowboy Bebop is worth setting up a forum. It's old and limited, but I think it holds up. I'm thinking that's why we got Outlaw Star in the lineup . . . for an hour-long space western block.

"And we'll be doing this instead of Interdimensional Cable."

Here's this week's classic schedule for the 1 a.m. block: Monday: Robot Chicken ("Gold Dust Gasoline" and "Plastic Buffet") (I'm too lazy to look up what got spoofed in those episodes) Tuesday: Squidbillies ("The Fine Ol' Solution" and "The Big E") (two episodes that would have been perfect and trite for 2017, except those were made years ago) Wednesday: 12 Oz Mouse ("Rememorized") and Minoriteam ("Tax Day") (the former was a series that out-weirded Perfect Hair Forever. At least the credits were awesome. The latter deserved one more season for the Jack Kirby influence alone, but I'm thinking the lawyers wouldn't let it happen. Oh, and I think this ep focused on White Shadow and his minions, which is a bit of a shame) Thursday: The Boondocks ("Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy") (the third in the Stinkmeaner saga, where his friends come to Woodcrest to avenge him. Lots of fighting, lots of humor, and Uncle Ruckus gets his ass beat in the first act) Friday: Moral Orel ("Nature") (the bleakest fucking story in the brief history of Moral Orel. And that is saying something)

We have a date for the start of S7. Maybe. Checking the New York Comic Con site . . . searching . . . nope, nothing comes up on the panel schedule when I enter "Venture." ETA: One Google search involving later, I got a date: November 11, 2018. So I'm thinking January 2019.

Theory: Maybe Forever could affect reality in a limited way, as well as projecting it? The girl was so focused on getting washed, she didn't notice the spurt. And Forever was there, all, "Ya like?" Whoa . . . I didn't read "rape." Wouldn't be surprised, but I was not thinking that.

Okay. So. Team Jojo, the girl (more like Poco III than Smokey II) and the rando sailors find a freighter. Bizarre shit happens. A guy gets killed by a crane. There's an orangutan in a cage, because why wouldn't there be a fucking orangutan adrift on a freighter in the South China Sea? The orangutan smokes a cigarette and checks out a pinup. More bizarre shit happens. The rest of the sailors are killed. The girl gets cornered by the orangutan in the shower. She was trying to get clean, and Psycho was never released in Singapore. And what is the big reveal? *deep breath* The freighter is a Stand . . . Strength, to be precise. It's controlled by the orangutan. Apparently, it's so damn powerful, non-Stand users can see it. And it gets to a point where everything is bizarre and funny, but you half-expect the world to rip apart from the sheer lunacy of it all. So. Fucked. Up. Yadda yadda yadda, the gang lands in Singapore, but Dio and his henchwench have someone waiting for them. Looks like a ventriloquist dummy from the looks of it. After this episode, that will be a relief. Oh, and they show an eyecatch. The orangutan's name is Forever. According to the Wikia, he's named for the album "Wu-Tang Forever." Sure. Why not?!? ETA: I also found the girl's name. Did it come up at all tonight? Also, I'm still thinking women might have hated this anime, because we get the girl in the shower. And Forever was looking at her in that way. Fuck this, I'm going to bed soon.

I wasn't keeping track. Too busy not interacting with people. I don't remember thinking, "Shit, that's Camila. With my luck, I'd activate Camilator by accident." More like "Don't look directly at Jordan's stub hand" and "Holy shit, that's Veronica. I still don't like her."

I thought Old Guy was One-Eyed Owl's father. I'm probably making a mistake on that. ETA because I forgot one word, and that was critical to my entire post. Sorry about that.

Got around to seeing last week's episode. Earlier in the day, I was on the hunt for low-cost 5 Hour Energy . . . .and guess what I saw on a peg in the toy aisle for $19.99? I had to share. The episode? Right. War breaks out. Keneki snaps out of his badass brooding to discover that the Doves are attacking Anteiku. Before that, most of the Doves write letters to their loved ones in case they get killed. I'm hoping the front line guys had time to do that, because they are wiped out in seconds. Turns out that the lady and the big goofy guy from Anteiku were leaders of rival Ghoul factions, and they team their teams up to combat the Doves. Oh, and Keneki has words with the four-eyed Ghoul. And Tsukiyama. And Tsukiyama attacks because he still wants that sweet, sweet Kaneki flavor. Nice flashback with Mado. Looks like he wasn't born with the bulging eye.

Anybody see the last episode? Kinda fitting . . . the Phantom Troupe arrive on Greed Island, then get dismissed almost immediately. Meanwhile, the Bombers get all that they want, and they reward their victims by blowing them up. Because they're assholes, you see, and it will be awesome when they cross Gon and he humiliates them. Also, the one dude from the doomed group saves himself, but creates a bizarre creature. Okay, then. Oh, and Killua bails to take the Hunter Exam. You know what are missing? "So long, Killua! Good luck! Try not to get angry and murder anybody during testing!!!"

I don't know. The show is toxic enough as it is, yet I can't pry myself away. If Camila wins and comes back in 2018? That would be a problem and a potential break-up cause for me. I'd compare her to Kendra from The Amazing Race 6, but Kendra never got racist with any of the other contestants. Also, I didn't think she belonged in a straitjacket.

From the Department of I've Watched Way Too Much Of This Show: I was poking through Adult Swim's YouTube, saw the picture from this video, and immediately thought of Tonya.

Just wanted to share this video I found on an AMV kick.
