List of Adult Swim programs

This is a list of programs broadcast by Adult Swim, whether they aired in the past, are currently aired, or are scheduled to air in the future. Adult Swim airs on Cartoon Network, but 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. So even if a show is listed under the "canceled" category, thanks to their low budgets and flexible schedules, there's a chance they 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 had episodes made for the internet.
