I stayed up late last night and saw an episode of the original 1960s black and white version of Astro Boy (with the NBC translation). But I saw this on Adult Swim, the late night Cartoon Network that frequently airs very mature shows. How did Astro Boy, a kids cartoon from the 60s, wind up on here? And why was it rated TV-PG, when there was not a hint of mature content in the entire 30-minute show?

If you didnt already know, Astro Boy was one of the very first animes ever made (even though the word anime wasnt used back then). If I didnt have so much respect for Osamu Tezuka and anime, I wouldnt have ever bothered watching Astro Boy. I dont think anyone else would watch it unless they were like me. The fans of gory and poorly animated (U.S. made) Adult Swim shows would not like it at all, and little kids (1. shouldnt be staying up that late, coulrophobia (2. would rather watch whatever Nickelodeon is crapping out for them at that time of the day. So really the only people that would sit down and watch Astro Boy would be anime lovers like me suffering from insomnia.

Maybe Adult Swim got the broadcasting rights to the show from NBC and show it so late so that they dont need to resort to infomercials to fill up time.
