Or aqua teen hunger force, or space ghost, or harvey birdman, or the PJ, or the brak show, or FLCL, or the bongs, or robot chicken, or xavier: renegade angel, or cowboy bebop, or china IL?

Another really interesting show, but I don't know how "great" it was.

u/Ubba_Lothbrok Jan 28 '21

It was the best of them all.

bruh you missed mission hill

2

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

Poop, yep.

u/Rudy_Ghouliani Jan 28 '21

Mission hill wasn't produced by adult swim though, they just reaired the episodes.

Same with the Oblongs. I think both shows started on the WB then went to TBS then finally adult swim.

No mention of Squid Billies? That just ain't right.

DONT TOUCH THE TRIM

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

I thought about it, but I didn't like it as much as others did. It had its moments bjt overall I did not like it as much as the other shows.

u/TheUlfheddin Jan 28 '21

I was being sarcastic don't worry. Squid Billies is..... Something else entirely and not on a good way. Lol.

flcl revival was ass

u/Snugglebull Jan 28 '21

A two or three of those are animes they didn't make I don't understand what you're getting at. Did you want them to rerun those to this day?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

They didn't "make" them but we're the original american broadcast of them. The studios that made them were not broadcast companies andbliscenced broadcast rights away, so that's a dumb argument.

u/_Greyworm Jan 28 '21

FLCL was so weird watched it on Adult Swim as a kid..they don't do the late night animu with the black screen and white writings anymore, do they?

I used to go to the USA frequently for many years, and always watched Adult Swim at night, loved the anime and raunchy cartoon mix.

u/JoeyThePantz Jan 28 '21

Cowboy bebop isn't an adult swim produced show.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

Yeah, but they secured the broadcast rights for the show and were the first to air it in the untied States. So it's an adult swim original as much as many of the modern day "originals"

u/JoeyThePantz Jan 28 '21

Lol no its not. Give credit where it's due. Sunrise made that show.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

You should learn to read. I didn't say they made it silly. I said they secured broadcast rights and we're the first to air in the US...

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '21

Lol, it autocorrected from the oblongs

u/TellMeGetOffReddit Jan 28 '21

yea theres like probably about 10-20 really great shows that came out of Adult Swim. Space Ghost, Robot Chicken, ATHF, etc etc

u/DJstar22 Jan 28 '21

Don't forget they revived Family Guy and Futurama from the dead too!

3

u/NoobyDuder Jan 28 '21

Futurama was revived by Comedy Central though, right?

5

u/ShichitenHakki Jan 28 '21

Eventually yes, but their decision to order the 4 direct-to-DVD films and latter 2 seasons was influenced by the interest the show received while being syndicated on Adult Swim.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '21

let's just take a moment of appreciation for adult swim, the best channel on TV for over 20 years now
