[Adult Swim] 2007 Schedule Announced

[adult swim] has had a pretty darned good year, so far. They set a new basic cable record in January, released Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Movie Film For Theaters, which has so far netted around $5 million (and only cost $1 million to make), and have recently announced a slew of new and returning shows for the 2007 Fall season.

Notably, Lucy: Daughter of the Devil will finally hit the airwaves. If you missed the pilot episode, which has already aired, you didn't miss much. From creator Loren Bouchard (Home Movies), the animation was cute, but the story went absolutely nowhere. Hopefully it's been retooled a bit since the premiere. Tim & Eric's Awesome Show returns, along with Saul of the Mole Men - why, in either case, I just don't know.

Luckily, Venture Bros. returns with new episodes, along with Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Metalocalypse. Venture Bros. returns to the schedule with repeats tonight. Hopefully, ATHF won't suck as hard as it did this season, but I'm not holding my breath because I don't want to be disappointed (keep your expectations low, I say). In fact, ATHF has already been confirmed for the 2008 season, as well. Frisky Dingo returns and Harvey Birdman's last season will premiere.

Lastly, [as] is finally going to be on 7 days a week, taking over the Friday night time period from its parent station, Cartoon Network.
