I think it's awesome that you're taking a lineup already filled with one-rape-joke-per-epiosde-whether-its-needed-or-not* Family Guy reruns and adding a show about and starring Mike Tyson. That's just all kinds of special, especially since I'd already given up on Robot Chicken (a genuinely inventive show until Seth Green decided to go down the same path more often than not a couple of years back). Maybe you could up the ante and add Urotsukidōji to your anime lineup. That would make you oh-so-extra-special.
Of course, in all seriousness, I'll be back for Venture Brothers, but decisions like this do nothing to instill any confidence or inclination to bother with any of the 85 other new shows you've announced.
*Spoiler: it's never actually needed.**
**If you're about to comment with an exception, see the last spoiler***.
***And yes, that includes George Carlin's famous routine. Being brilliant is not the same as being perfect, folks.

ETA: I don't think I ever shared with you that Eduardo is my very favorite Foster's Home character. I just wanted to throw that out there. :D
