Yeah, Turner Broadcasting really started a good phenomena introducing anime to a mass audience: Toonami. I didn't appreciate anime right away. I remember channel surfing while stuck in a motel outwaiting a Midwest snowstorm back then lamenting that there just wasn't anything worth watching on the tube. I settled for a "cartoon" about some Japanese school kid and his celestial friends (Tenchi Muyo). This show was funny while some of the other series airing at the time were palatable. Pretty soon I found myself going out of my way to schedule time to watch TV: TBS at a certain time in the afternoon. This is when I discovered Cowboy Bebop...I've been hooked ever since.
