Looks like January 2nd's Adult Swim schedule blends a little of the new with a little of the old - and throws in some of the incredibly old for good measure. the 11pm to midnight block is your predictable helping of Family Guy and Futurama, though they've gone ahead and flipped the two shows again. (Why do they keep mucking with this? Do the shows get muscle cramps if they aren't allowed to move around every few months?) 12am, however, sees Home Movies enter the rotation. 12:30am gives us a dose of FLCL, a.k.a. "Fooly Cooly" ("furi kuri", for those looking for a more phonetic rendition). If you haven't seen FLCL before in its previous short-lived, 1:30am reincarnations on [as], this is the time to behold...um...well, it's fairly indescribable. Let's just say that if you thought Aqua Teen Hunger Force was whacked out, you ain't seen nothing yet. Wrapping up the schedule are s-CRY-ed, a good show that I can't get into no matter how hard I try, and Lupin the 3rd, a.k.a. Lupin Sansei, Hayao Miyazaki's adaptation of the story of a goofball thief who gets by as much on luck as he does on skill.

Thanks, [as]. This nearly makes up for the 12 oz. Mouse Marathon on New Year's Eve that sent my wife and I running to watch the Law and Order: Criminal Intent marathon on USA.
