Adult Swim should air this series on CN


In a perfect world, the so called "big wigs" at the WB, Dreamworks SKG, and CN would consider re-airing this on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network right alongside other animated classics like Inuyasha, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and the Big O. However, considering that it has been almost seven years since this american animated marvel has last aired, one must consider the fact that the human prick factor and the inexorable legal hurdles will most likely (if it hasn't already) obliterate such a common sensical notion. Hopefully my inner cynic (notice how I don't say 'inner child') is dead wrong about this concern, but for those of you who doubt the notion that an A.S. airing of this show would probably generate enough viewer support for a continuation of the series, I ask you to take two factors into consideration before bombarding me with hisses, boos, and the occasional mean spirited snicker:

1.) Consider the notion that only a fraction of viewer support is needed to keep a show running on cable versus network television.

2.) Consider the historical feat that was accomplished jointly by Adult Swim and the company responsible for having initially brought the first 13 episodes of the Big O to the U.S. in that, only in the U.S. were 13 more episodes possible, bringing the series to a close with 26 episodes that had never previously been watched before on Japanese televison.

You got my vote boss.... Now to find that bastard with the copy right and introduce him to my best friend Mr.Hammer :D... Seriously tho adult swim should pick it up.... would be a hell of an accomplishment...

Inuyasha is a classic? How dare you mention it in the same league as Cowboy Bebop and Invasion America.

But you've got my vote.

P.S. I totally agree with introducing the guy with the copyright to Inspector Hammer. Hehehe.

Didn't this show only run as a 5 episode mini-series? Maybe they can do it on Adult Swim as a week-long special.

It was a 13 episode series on WB in 1998. I would love to see Invasion America on Cartoon Network. But there is a loyal fan on Youtube who has all 13 episodes.

Adult Swim should leave and NEVER COME BACK! At least give it it's own channel....oh wait it's not good enough to have an channel of its own! >.>
