Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block has seen its ratings increase dramatically over the same period a year ago. Roughly a half million people between 18 and 34 watch the block, up 23% from a year ago. Adult Swim was #1 in its time period (on basic cable) among adults 18-24.
Family Guy and Futurama were in basic cable's top 50 programs for adults 18-34.
Other shows currently showing on Adult Swim include Inu Yasha, Case Closed, and Lupin III (see 'Inu Yasha, Lupin III return to Aduilt Swim'), with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex set to premiere in November, along with Full Metal Alchemist.
