Spike US once wanted to make an adult version of SpongeBob, that would have been horrible.

They made a more adult Ren and Stimpy, was awful.

I would've hardly called the original one "family friendly". I can't remember the person in question, but they were being interviewed for something to do with Ren and Stimpy, and they were shocked to learn that the BBC used to air it at 6pm.

That was half decent, Nick used to broadcast it during the day, and I remember some of the episodes

This channel does actually look quite interesting. The branding is very strong, and some of the programming is actually decent, a full run of Breaking Bad for example, although it's a) not on Virgin Media at launch and b) not in HD. But still, a solid launch line-up.

Freeview EPG is all over the place at the moment, hope it sorts quickly when the switch is made.

The rather nice website has gone and just redirects to a dull page on C5's website. Shame.

Saw loads of advertising for the launch tomorrow around London today.

How illogical. It's not 5USA2, it's a US channel brand. It should be treated the same as the other Viacom channels, and that means a unique web presence.

Slovenian public television infamously scheduled South Park in the afternoon kids' block back in the late '90s.

Why do they bother with TalkTalk and BT numbers when they're the same as Freeview? And is it not on VM yet?

Because not everyone at home will understand this. It's worth making certain that all of your potential viewers know they can watch.

They are trying to bring it under the "Channel 5 family". Perhaps in time, 5* and 5 USA will be completely rebranded to different names (dropping the 5 branding) and they too will be 'part of the family' which makes people think of Channel 5 differently, not just the tacky channel it was for the 90's and start of the 00's?

Live & Kicking used to show The Simpsons on a Saturday morning, rarely with any of the more adult scenes or references edited out.
