Purgatory night was last night again.

With [adult swim] starting at 8:30pm this coming week, will purgatory continue?
 
I don't think the purgatory thing is an error, atleast not fully. According to Nielsen ratings and the internal schedule, the Sunday Bob's Burgers slots are part of CN. Even on the seperated CN and AS feeds used for Hulu and special providers, the slot is counted as part of CN and therefore Bob airs on CN before it closes for the night at 9pm and the AS channel signs on. The lack of branding may be an error (cn signing off but adult swim not signing on) or CN don't want to associate their branding with the show for some reason.

Yeah, I did a little more research. Apparently, [adult swim] is only allowed to air Bob's Burgers a certain number of times per week (that's why Pete Smith Day cuts down on its airings the rest of the week). This is just a way to sneak more airings in, calling it not technically a part of [adult swim].

However, due to the Back to the Future movies airing until 8:30pm, now Bob's Burgers begins with ACME Night bumpers, but the rest of the show is in purgatory.

I think that's no accident, so I'll probably stop reporting purgatory here.
 
Today after Lucas the Spider, the Cartoonito sign-off bumper said "We'll see you tomorrow", but Cartoonito has left weekends.

A few days ago on [adult swim], American Dad! aired without a screenbug, but it wasn't complete purgatory.
 
I vaguely remember one error I saw during summer 2012 is when they accidentally gave Regular Show a "TV-PG-LV" rating before Adult Swim came on.

I also remember when Bald Spot originally aired, they accidentally letterboxed it on the HD feed, and the HD and SD logos overlapped.
 
First off is there is a thread for Adult Swim Technical Glitches, also I found this error of American Dad! that has a duplicate tv rating on the 10:30pm American Dad! tonight:

That error has been there for a long time, even on TBS.

I think WBD just got a bad master tape of the episode.
 
There are a handful of shows where the rating bug was seemingly burnt into the masters. (E! shows Saved by the Bell with its big TV-PG rating blocking the TV-Y7 burnt into the master. I remember hearing some of the Digimon DVDs have Y7 bugs too.)

In this case, it seems accidental, but a small mistake that'll get overlooked by people who think the effort to fix it outweighs the reward. (I've seen that Saved by the Bell burn-in across multiple stations owned by different companies.)
 
A few weeks ago, when Cartoonito was first cut to 10am, the episodes of Craig of the Creek that aired from 10a-11a had the Cartoonito bug.

On Cartoonito itself, some airings of CoComelon and Lellobee City Farm go dark when the Coming Up Next bar is displayed.
 
So during the premiere of Men in Black II on ACME Night on CN, the screenbug is not the premiere screenbug just the normal one: View attachment 298314


Spiderman was the only other PG-13 movie that I know of that was on Cartoon Network. I know this one had to be heavily edited to be suitable for a TV-PG (DLV) rating at worst.
 
Today right after Clarence: Capture the Flag episode Cartoon Network used the wrong ECP.
 
It happened again with another ID show:



This time they fixed it mid-program about 7 minutes in; however, they played the same American Dad episode twice in a row. It aired as it should've on the west feed.

Hi, welcome to Toonzone


There's something about seeing kids cry after they mess up big time that really gets to me. One can definitely feel bad for Layla.
I don't know I gonna post it but i think I may had spread the disney abandoning blue sky studios like they did with fox kids/jetix propaganda onto awinger24 and now hes fears of paramount & warner bros
Europeans right now are experiencing the same Heatwave that africans face on a daily basis lol

honestly I like to think of this as some kind of "payback" too
1, 2, 3, vive l'Algérie!
