Why did they cancel toonami midnight run? If only they still had it and have it on weekdays like the old days.

It was so we could have Adult Swim on during the weekdays. I don't know the exact details about the loss of midnight run, but i'm sure someone else here does. _________________ There is limited intelligence in the galaxy, but the stupidity of the universe is infinite.

CN replaced the Midnight Run with Adult Swim for reasons that were mostly acquisitions-related.
When CN picked up the rights to Futurama and Family Guy, they wanted to give those shows more respect than Fox did (who didn't give them much). So they planned out a schedule to have them air 5 nights a week.
Also, they picked up a whole bunch of new acquisitions for their Action block that would last pretty much throughout the year, and they didn't want the new shows to drag on forever. Look at all the stuff ASA aired in that year:
-Lupin III (26 episodes)
-Reign: The Conqueror (13 episodes)
-Trigun (26 episodes)
-Kikaider (12 episodes + 4-part OAV)
-Big O (original 13 episodes [uncut] + 13 new episodes)
-FLCL (6 episodes)
-Blue Gender (26 episodes)
-Inuyasha (32 episodes; continued from the original Saturday block's run [it got as far as episode 20 in 2002])
If ASA still aired as a Saturday-only block in 2003, it would've taken too long and it would've been too much of a burden, so they gave it a healthy 4 nights a week to keep up with the pace.
