I agree, especially with TeenNick: Ouran High School Host Club, Vampire Knight, Death Note, and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya would be a good line-up. I have been studying the Teen Nick audience and those shows could work well and with proper advertising you could get regular anime fans with the regular audience and easily get 2 million views >.< |

I more or less agree with what's already been posted. Unfortunately, I doubt most of these wishes will ever be fulfilled. The powers that be have decided mainstream Americans aren't interested in watching anime. We're lucky to get what little we do have.

Hell Girl ran on IFC.
I doubt that SyFy is going to pick up a show that already ran on Adult Swim. It would be nice if they picked up some new shows, though.
Yeah, I really miss Anime Unleashed. They showed some pretty good series.
Initial D ran on IATV, though I admit that's a really obscure channel (watched the Escaflowne movie on it the other night). That's where I saw Mai-HiMe, Scrapped Princess, Planates, and Kurokami as well.
Not enough, anyway. |

Bah. I don't even watch TV anymore. Streaming is the way to go, IMO. I'm beyond sick of watching commericals every 5-10 minutes, and now I don't have to.
More anime available via streaming = good. |

Beside Adult Swim, Sci-Fi, and ImaginAsian broadcasting anime. I would love to see Spike TV do more anime broadcast, also I think Lifetime channel could be perfect for some shojo anime.
Lifetime: Vampire Knight, Fruit Basket, Air, Kanon, Clannad, and maybe shonen-ai title (I think descendent of Darkness might have fit in that channel). Spike TV: Black Lagoon, Hellsing, Darker then Black, Sengoku Basara, Shikabane Hime, Claymore MTV: Negima, K-ON, Beck, Playboy TV: Queen's Blade, Master of Martial Hearts, any hentai licensed in US would work for that channel

Hmmmmm....in the age of the Internets, the purpose of airing stuff on TV is pretty much pointless across from documentaries like Life After People or news. You can watch your favorite shows of any kind online legally.
But anyways, my take: Comedy Central: Hayate the Combat Butler!, Toradora!, Lucky Star TNT: Clannad, Clannad: After Story, Toradora!, Ouran High School Host Club, Fruits Basket, Kobato. TeenNick: Same as TNT, but exlcluding Clannad and Clannad: After Story since Clannad is mostly PG rating. Also add Azumanga Daioh and Saki into the list. Disney X.D.: Hitman Reborn!, Heroman, Hidamari Sketch, Sketchbook ~full Color'S~, and pretty much any G-rated magical girl anime shows can fit. [adult swim]: School Days, Elfen Lied, Black Lagoon, Death Note, Highschool of the Dead, and pretty most fanservice and gory based shows can effectively fit into there. To Aru Majutsu no Index can also fit in as well. |

I think Hidamari might be a little too slice-of-life. Also, Reborn might not be the best show for X.D. I mean, most of its premise is about guns and the mafia. |

Well, in the case with Reborn, Adult Swim would be more appropriate. I put Hidamari Sketch in Disney X.D. because I fail to see anything inappropriate with the series after watching the first two episodes (despite The Anime Network's rating of this being TV-14). Maybe I didn't watch the later episodes that requires paid subscription in the Anime Network. I did watch Sketchbook ~full Color'S~ at Crunchyroll prior to the removal of most of the episodes except for the first one. Needlesss to say, Sketchbook is quite appropriate for everyone of all ages. ABC Family is another alternative to Sketchbook ~Full Color'S~ and Hidamari Sketch. |

lol@TNT running moe.
The only reasonable person on here was the person that said Heroman. The thing is, no one has the chops to spend some money on ads for that show. |
