 USATODAY.com - Adult Swim goes against the flow
The two-hour block of adult animation has become my favorite thing on TV in years; to be honest, it's usually far more entertaining than time spent with the Fisher family or those sour Sex and the City crumpets.

The consensus belief seems to be that Adult Swim is foolish to broadcast any anime title in Japanese language because anime is already secondary to the popularity of Adult Swim's original programming, and subtitles are likely to further marginalize anime on Adult Swim by driving away even more viewers.
I won't attempt to speculate which title Adult Swim may broadcast subtitled because, in one respect, the choice of title is irrelevant.
I have a new increased respect for Adult Swim because of this potential risky move to expose Americans to authentic, unaltered Japanese anime in opposition to the current trend of popularizing dubbed anime.

 Adult Swim Reopens 'Pee-wee's Playhouse' - Show will join AS lineup in July - Zap2it
Adult Swim is bringing another show populated by flesh-and-blood actors to its late-night world, but this one fits a little better into the cartoon landscape.
Paul Reubens, who created Pee-wee as a member of the L.A. comedy troupe the Groundlings in the late 1970s, pronounces himself delighted to be part of Adult Swim: I'd say this was a dream come true, but I never dared to dream the 'Playhouse' would join Adult Swim's amazing lineup of cool shows!" he says.
The show ended after Reubens' 1991 arrest for indecent exposure at an adult theater in Sarasota, Fla. Since then, Reubens has appeared in such movies as "Blow" and "Mystery Men," made a number of TV guest appearances (notably "Murphy Brown") and has done extensive voiceover work.
