List of programs broadcast by Adult Swim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of television programs formerly or currently broadcast on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim in the United States. Although both networks share the same time space, Adult Swim is classified as a separate entity for the purposes of Nielsen ratings.

Unlike other networks, when it comes to canceled shows, Adult Swim usually leaves the door open for canceled shows to come back, be it on air or in another format. This is mostly because show creators of an Adult Swim series choose to move on to a new project, and like to leave the option open to return to their former project. Because of this, even if a show is listed under the "canceled" status, due of low budgets and flexible schedules, there is a chance it could return some day. For example, Space Ghost Coast to Coast has been brought back in short form on Gametap while The Brak Show, Perfect Hair Forever, and 12 Oz. Mouse all had webisodes released on Adult Swim Video following their conclusions.[1][2][3]

Cowboy Bebop2001–2013 Premiered Sunday, September 2, 2001 at Midnight/11c.[53] Adult Swim's first anime series, and the most frequently repeated full anime series on the network. It is aired edited for content, yet it was successful enough to be broadcast repeatedly for seven years in rotation with new anime series from 2002-2008. It stopped airing year-round, but was repeated during parts of the year in the first part of 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and now 2013. Several episodes were aired out of sequence during the show's first run due to content that was deemed not appropriate for a period immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City.

Eight episodes of the series were aired that night as a mini-marathon, consisting of the Toonami team's "favorite" episodes of the series. When asked on Toonami's official Tumblr account whether airing rights to the series were reacquired or not, they stated that rights had not been reacquired, and that FUNimation (The North American distributor of the series) had allowed Adult Swim to air the series that night "as a one time thing".

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters2008Film based on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the first film adaption of an Adult Swim series. Released in theaters on April 13, 2007. Originally aired on Adult Swim on April 1, 2007, before the theatrical release. It is notable that this airing was in fact an April Fools' Day prank. It did indeed air, but it took up only a fraction of the screen (the frame was Picture-in-Picture within the regular programming, only a couple inches big and the audio in reverse). The film aired in full on Adult Swim March 31, 2008.
There has been mention of producing a second film entitled Death Fighter. As of February 2014 the film has yet to be released. It was mentioned that there is a possibility that the film might be made in 3-D.[29]		TV-MA-V
