The network grew out of Cartoon Network's previous attempts at airing content appropriate for young adults who might be watching the channel after 11 p.m. (ET). The network began experimenting with its late night programming by airing anthology shows like ''[[ToonHeads]]'' and ''[[Late Night Black and White]]'', both of which presented uncensored classic cartoon shorts. ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'', one of Cartoon Network's first forays into original programming, was created in 1994 specifically for late night audiences. The series was created by [[Mike Lazzo]]'s Ghost Planet Industries, which eventually became [[Williams Street|Williams Street Studios]], the eventual producers and programmers of Adult Swim.

During early mornings in December 2000 (while ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' was on hiatus), several new Williams Street series made unannounced "stealth" premieres. ''[[Sealab 2021]]'', ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'', ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' and ''[[The Brak Show]]'' all premiered unannounced;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lustforlunch.com/dgp/oldnews.htm#stealth |title=The Daily Ghost Planet : The Past! |publisher=Lustforlunch.com |date= |accessdate=January 22, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://lustforlunch.com/dgp/oldnews.htm#morestealth |title=The Daily Ghost Planet : The Past! |publisher=Lustforlunch.com |date= |accessdate=January 22, 2011}}</ref> the official schedules listed the shows as "Special Programming".<ref>{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Cricket|title=[adult swim]: A (not so) Brief History|url=http://geeknation.com/adult-swim-a-brief-history/|work=[[Geek Nation]]|accessdate=21 April 2014}}</ref>

Adult Swim officially launched on September 2, 2001 with the debut airing of the ''[[Home Movies (TV series)|Home Movies]]'' episode "Director's Cut",<ref>[http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/1190 1st Show Aired], a bump broadcast on Adult Swim on November 23, 2008. Archived by bumpworthy.com. Retrieved August 10, 2011.</ref> which was shelved before airing on its original network, [[UPN]]. It would become increasingly common for Adult Swim to [[Burning off|burn off]] episodes of shows that never finished airing on its original network such as the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "[[When You Wish Upon a Weinstein]]" and the rest of the respective first seasons of [[The WB Television Network|The WB]] sitcoms ''[[Mission Hill]]'', ''[[Baby Blues (US TV series)|Baby Blues]]'', and ''[[The Oblongs]]'', all in 2002. The first [[anime]] broadcast on Adult Swim also aired on the night of its launch, ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2001-08-02/cowboy-bebop-confirmed-for-adult-swim Anime News Network.com] Cowboy Bebop Confirmed for Adult Swim</ref><ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2001-06-27 Anime News Network.com] Interview: CN re: Cowboy Bebop and Adult Swim</ref> The block initially aired on Sunday nights, with a repeat of the same block on Thursday nights. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults – "Adult Swim".

On March 28, 2005, [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]]-based [[Turner Broadcasting System]] split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network to allow [[Nielsen Media Research]] to treat it as a separate channel for ratings purposes.<ref name=as_split /> Adult Swim operates similarly to [[Nick at Nite]], as that channel also shares channel space with another cable channel (in their case, [[Nickelodeon]]) and is treated as a separate service by Nielsen due to differences in [[target demographic]]s. Promotions for Adult Swim are targeted towards the college age and those in their twenties and thirties, constituting the majority of their viewers. According to a September 1, 2004 article in ''Promo'' magazine, representatives travel to 30 universities across the U.S. to promote the Adult Swim lineup, including handing out posters for students' dorm rooms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://chiefmarketer.com/sampling/marketing_college_try|title=College Try|last=Parry|first=Tim|date=November 1, 2004|work=Promo|publisher=Penton Media Inc.|accessdate=March 17, 2009}}</ref>

Adult Swim had a direct and important role in the revival of three popular animated series, ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''[[Futurama]]'' and ''[[The Oblongs]]''. ''Family Guy'' premiered in reruns on Adult Swim on April 20, 2003, and immediately became the block's top-rated program, dominating late night viewing in its time period vs. cable and broadcast competition and boosting viewership by 239 percent.<ref name="history">{{cite news|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1049746,00.html|title=A Brief History of the ''Family Guy''|author=Tim Stack|date=April 18, 2005|publisher=''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''|accessdate=January 17, 2011}}</ref><ref name="herald">{{cite news|url=http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/033004/ent_20040330013.shtml|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080830015955/http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/033004/ent_20040330013.shtml|archivedate=August 30, 2008|title=Family Guy returns with 22 new episodes to premiere in early 2005|date=March 29, 2004|publisher=''[[Athens Banner-Herald]]''|accessdate=January 17, 2011}}</ref> On March 29, 2004, less than one year later, [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] announced it would be renewing ''Family Guy'' for a fourth season and reviving it from cancellation.<ref name="history"/> Shortly after the announcement, Jim Samples, executive vice president of Cartoon Network, commented, "Bringing ''Family Guy'' to the Adult Swim lineup last April really helped turn the block into a [[cultural phenomenon]] with young adults."<ref name="herald"/>

''Futurama'' was also revived in 2007 by [[Comedy Central]] for similar reasons: impressive viewership in syndication as well as high DVD sales.<ref name="futurama">{{cite news|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/06/19/what-revived-futurama-some-lessons-for-fans/54694|title=What Revived ‘Futurama’?: Some Lessons For Fans|author=Bill Gorman|date=June 19, 2010|publisher=TV By the Numbers|accessdate=January 17, 2011}}</ref> Adult Swim obtained ''Futurama'''s exclusive cable syndication rights in March 2002 for a reported $10 million,<ref name="DailyVariety">{{cite news| url = http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-92028223.html| title = Toon Net Gets 'Futurama'| work = [[Daily Variety]]| date = September 9, 2001| accessdate = May 28, 2008}}</ref> and the series first aired on the network in January 2002.<ref name="businesswire">{{cite news|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Twentieth+Television+Continues+Successful+Off-Network+Run+of+FUTURAMA...-a092809237|title=Twentieth Television Continues Successful Off-Network Run of FUTURAMA on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim|date=September 27, 2002|publisher=[[Business Wire]]|accessdate=January 17, 2011}}</ref> In 2006, [[Twentieth Television]] struck a deal to produce four [[direct-to-video]] animated features based on ''Futurama'', and, in 2009, the series was revived in normal half-hour installments beginning in 2010 on [[Comedy Central]].<ref name="futurama"/> In a 2006 interview, ''Futurama'' creator [[Matt Groening]] explained "There's a long, regal history of misunderstood TV shows, and to Fox's credit, the studio looked at the ratings on the Cartoon Network and how the show does overseas, and saw that there was more money to be made."<ref name="avclub">{{cite news|url=http://www.avclub.com/articles/matt-groening,13984/|title=Interview - Matt Groening|author=Nathan Rabin|date=April 26, 2006|publisher=''[[The A.V.

In 2007, Adult Swim announced it would expand to seven nights a week starting that July. Up until then, it was only on Saturdays-Thursdays, with Cartoon Network airing 24 hours on Friday. On July 6 of that year, Adult Swim had its first broadcast on a Friday with an all-night marathon of ''Family Guy'' with one episode, ''[[Peter's Two Dads]]'', rerunning the April Fools gag of that year, running the first half-hour of ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters'' in a small square on the bottom left hand corner.

[[Angus Oblong]], creator of ''The Oblongs'', said new episodes of the series will return to Adult Swim.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HkA4qqp9 Angus Oblong interview at an Owlism Art Show]{{dead link|date=October 2012}} (2009)</ref> Adult Swim stated on July 4, 2010 that they asked studios to produce new episodes and "some said yes, some said no".<ref name=statement>{{cite web|title=Oblongs Revival Question|url=http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/3228|publisher=bump worthy|date=July 4, 2010|accessdate=October 2010}}</ref>

Το Adult Swim (γράφεται και ως [adult swim] ή [as]) είναι αμερικανικό δίκτυο καλωδιακής τηλεόρασης το οποίο εκπέμπει στις συχνότητες του Cartoon Network από τις 20:00 μέχρι τις 06:00 ET/PT στις ΗΠΑ. Τόσο το Adult Swim όσο και το Cartoon Network είναι υπό την ιδιοκτησία του Turner Broadcasting System, το οποίο με τη σειρά του ανήκει στην Time Warner. Το πρόγραμμα του δικτύου και τα γυρίσματα διαφόρων εκπομπών πραγματοποιούνται από την Williams Street, η οποία ήταν στο παρελθόν υπεύθυνη και για τα δύο παλαιότερα προγράμματα του Cartoon Network, του Toonami (το οποίο στη συνέχεια έγινε ένθετο του Cartoon Network) και του Miguzi.

Το Adult Swim άρχισε να εκπέμπει το 2001 ως ένθετο του Cartoon Network. Το πρόγραμμά του είναι περισσότερο γνωστό για το τολμηρό, ανορθόδοξο και συχνά παράξενο ύφος του, το οποίο έρχεται σε πλήρη αντίθεση με τα σύνηθη προγράμματα άλλων Αμερικανικών καναλιών. Το δίκτυο έχει τις δικές του αξιολογήσεις Νίλσεν διότι τα προγράμματά του απευθύνονται σε διάφορες κατηγορίες τηλεθεατών, ενώ εκπέμπει και σε χώρες όπως η Αυστραλία και η Νέα Ζηλανδία.[1] Στο πρόγραμμά του περιλαμβάνονται εκπομπές τόσο κινουμένων σχεδίων όσο και ζωντανής δράσης οι οποίες μπορεί να είναι παραγώγές του δικτύου, αναμεταδόσεις σειρών άλλων δικτύων, ταινίες μικρού μήκους, πρωτότυπα βίντεο κινουμένων σχεδίων και ιαπωνικά άνιμε, το περιεχόμενο των οποίων υφίσταται ελάχιστη έως και μηδαμινή επεξεργασία.

Στις ΗΠΑ, στο Adult Swim έχουν παρουσιαστεί δείγματα κινουμένων σχεδίων ενηλίκων, άνιμε, mockumentaries και κωμωδίας, μεταξύ άλλων, καθώς και εκπομπές οι οποίες περιέχουν σεξουαλική θεματολογία, ανοιχτή συζήτηση για το σεξ, γυμνές σκηνές, σκληρή γλώσσα και βία. Παρόλο που οι εκπομπές του Adult Swim καλύπτουν όλο το εύρος των κωμωδιών και των δραμάτων, πολλές από αυτές θεωρούνται ως αισθητικά πειραματικές, υπερβατικές, αυτοσχέδιες και σουρεαλιστικές. Το Adult Swim συνεργάζεται με στούντιο όπως τα Williams Street, Augenblick Studios, και PFFR, τα οποία είναι γνωστά για την παραγωγή παράλογων και σοκαριστικών κωμωδιών. Η μακροβιότερη σειρά του δικτύου είναι το Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία του Αυγούστου του 2013, το Adult Swim είναι διαθέσιμο σε περίπου 98.671.000 νοικοκυριά στις ΗΠΑ, το οποίο αντιστοιχεί στο 86,4% των νοικοκυριών με τηλεόραση επί πληρωμή.[2]

History

Several creators and writers of Adult Swim shows at the San Diego Comic Con 2006 Adult Swim panel. From left to right: Keith Crofford, Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, Scott Adsit, Dino Stamatopoulos, Tommy Blacha, Brendon Small, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.

Cartoon Network's original head programmer Mike Lazzo conceived[3] (and continues to operate) Adult Swim. The network grew out of Cartoon Network's previous attempts at airing content appropriate for young adults who might be watching the channel after 11 p.m. (ET). The network began experimenting with its late night programming by airing anthology shows like ToonHeads and Late Night Black and White, both of which presented uncensored classic cartoon shorts. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, one of Cartoon Network's first forays into original programming, was created in 1994 specifically for late night audiences. The series was created by Mike Lazzo's Ghost Planet Industries, which eventually became Williams Street Studios, the eventual producers and programmers of Adult Swim.

During early mornings in December 2000 (while Space Ghost Coast to Coast was on hiatus), several new Williams Street series made unannounced "stealth" premieres. Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and The Brak Show all premiered unannounced;[4][5] the official schedules listed the shows as "Special Programming".[6]

Adult Swim officially launched on September 2, 2001 with the debut airing of the Home Movies episode "Director's Cut",[7] which was shelved before airing on its original network, UPN. It would become increasingly common for Adult Swim to burn off episodes of shows that never finished airing on its original network such as the Family Guy episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" and the rest of the respective first seasons of The WB sitcoms Mission Hill, Baby Blues, and The Oblongs, all in 2002. The first anime broadcast on Adult Swim also aired on the night of its launch, Cowboy Bebop.[8][9] The block initially aired on Sunday nights, with a repeat of the same block on Thursday nights. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults – "Adult Swim".

On March 28, 2005, Atlanta-based Turner Broadcasting System split Adult Swim from Cartoon Network to allow Nielsen Media Research to treat it as a separate channel for ratings purposes.[1] Adult Swim operates similarly to Nick at Nite, as that channel also shares channel space with another cable channel (in their case, Nickelodeon) and is treated as a separate service by Nielsen due to differences in target demographics.

Futurama was also revived in 2007 by Comedy Central for similar reasons: impressive viewership in syndication as well as high DVD sales.[13] Adult Swim obtained Futurama's exclusive cable syndication rights in March 2002 for a reported $10 million,[14] and the series first aired on the network in January 2002.[15] In 2006, Twentieth Television struck a deal to produce four direct-to-video animated features based on Futurama, and, in 2009, the series was revived in normal half-hour installments beginning in 2010 on Comedy Central.[13] In a 2006 interview, Futurama creator Matt Groening explained "There's a long, regal history of misunderstood TV shows, and to Fox's credit, the studio looked at the ratings on the Cartoon Network and how the show does overseas, and saw that there was more money to be made."[16] In 2006, in a stunt to promote its airings of Saved by the Bell, Adult Swim temporarily renamed itself to "crappy 1980s live action tv show network".

Angus Oblong, creator of The Oblongs, said new episodes of the series will return to Adult Swim.[17] Adult Swim stated on July 4, 2010 that they asked studios to produce new episodes and "some said yes, some said no".[18]

On December 27, 2010, Adult Swim's sign-on time was moved one hour earlier, from its longtime start time of 10:00 p.m. ET to 9:00 p.m. ET, extending the network's daily schedule to nine hours.[19] Furthermore on March 31, 2014 Adult Swim's sign-on time was moved to 8:00 p.m. ET, further extending the network's daily schedule to ten hours and effectively matching the airtime of most nights that Nick at Nite has.[20]
