11:00 PM Sunday night in their Adult Swim slot. Looking at the commercials some of the more recent series they're airing are in the style of art popular in the 60's and 70's.

Recently they started a new season so I took a look. I found that besides using the episodic formula made so popular by 60's half hour TV shows, it had an added reminder of that era. Part of the theme music they're using is from Gary Anderson's UFO. Considering the writing normally present today, their theft of older plot elements isn't so bad.
