Sorry for the random comeback. I didn't really plan anything ahead of time and sort of just threw this together last minute. I don't really have any planned posts right now but will try to start this back up. Thanks to everyone that follows me on here.

@CNschedules Adult Swim is in a weird limbo right now. Mike Lazzo
and now Keith are both gone with a bunch of other talent being cut. I hope that the quality and new direction that the channel goes works out for the best.

RIP to the man behind the mask, MF DOOM. His work with Adult Swim left a lasting impression that can't be understated. His collab with Danger Mouse, DANGER DOOM is something I personally enjoyed and still find "The Mask" showing up in my Spotify feed every now and then.

@MouseFitzgeral Yeah it was pretty hard finding some examples for this. I posted everything I could find on my Youtube.

Starting on Oct. 6th, 2008, Adult Swim premiered the marathon "44 Nights of Orel." It featured Dino Stamatopoulos, Scott Adsit, and others giving their general thoughts and commentary about episodes before they aired. It ran Mon-Thurs each week until the show ended on Dec. 18th.

Happy 19th Birthday to Adult Swim! It officially launched on Sept. 2, 2001, hoping to get adults back into watching cartoons. In its first year, it boosted Cartoon Networks adult viewership by 84%. Adult Swim helped normalize cartoon watching for adults and continues this today.

Starting in January 2009, Adult Swim created the “King of the Hill ad bumps.” These bumps featured various adverts for fictional businesses from the show. These had many variations and expanded later on to include real-life businesses. They ended in March 2014.

@NflmaddenG I could go either way really. Having a 24/7 channel would allow them to air more obscure shows that they own. On the opposite side it also could put too much of a financial burden on AS and lead them to failing completely. If I had to choose I would pick only nights for balance.

In November of 2009 Adult Swim ran a set of bumps under the branding of "Stoner Series." These bumps were a parody of the HBO Original Series Intro, an Internal nod at Turner towards their sister network. Shows like ATHF, Harvey Birdman, Robot Chicken, and more used this style.

Instead of trying to watch fireworks from the safety of your window, why not celebrate the 4th by watching tonight's Dragon Ball Super Marathon? Only Toonami. Video by @CabooseJr.

On January 22, 2010, Adult Swim premiered the Brit Block. A block dedicated to the channels British TV programming. It included The Office (UK), Look Around You, The Mighty Boosh, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It ended on April 2, 2010.

On May 13, 2007, Adult Swim hosted A Night of 1,000 Pilots. Five pilots were aired and viewers were given the option to vote for which ones they wanted as full shows. Out of the five shows, four were picked and three made it to tv. Superjail! stands out as one of these shows.

I asked @JPReckless2444 for their help putting together a banner in support of the nationwide protests for racial and social equality in America. I feel like using the platform I have to promote a good message in denouncing systematic racism in our country.

Quick correction, Adventure Time started airing on February 4th and the Boondocks started back up in 2019 on the 16th. This is not a day before but is still within two weeks of each other so it doesn't change much.

[[adult swim] History @SwimHistory]

In February of 2019 Adult Swim experimented with airing the Cartoon Network Show Adventure Time on the block. This lasted roughly one month before being pulled off the air. Little is known but one could speculate that this was failed marketing towards the future HBO Max Specials.

[[adult swim] History @SwimHistory]

So maybe the original plan was to start airing Adventure Time and show more of the Boondocks leading up to the announcement of the reboot and the specials. Most likely the viewership wasn't there for Adventure time so they pulled that and kept the Boondocks with better funding.

@_Seyrammm It was originally planned to air fall of 2020, but with the passing of John Witherspoon and the Coronavirus making delays across the animation industry who knows.
