List of programs broadcast by Adult Swim
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. If an episode carried a particular rating descriptor (D, L, S, V), that descriptor will be listed. Otherwise, a generic rating without descriptors (TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA) will be listed as the rating. Many shows regularly carry an TV-MA-V rating, though the only show to carry a TV-MA-L rating is The Office, and the only shows to carry a TV-MA-S rating are the Black Dynamite episode, "Black Dynamite: The Pilot", the Aqua Something You Know Whatever episode "Shirt Herpies", the Stroker & Hoop episode "Stroke Her and Boob", and the Neon Genesis Evangelion episode "Weaving a Story 2: The Oral Stage".
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" category, 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]
