Adult Swim (stylized as [adult swim] and [as]) is an American adult-oriented
television programming block that airs on Cartoon Network which broadcasts
during the evening, prime time, and late-night dayparts. The channel features
stylistically varied animated and live-action series targeting an adult
audience. The block's content includes original programming, which are
particularly comedies and action series, syndicated series, and short films with
generally minimal or no editing for content. Launched on September 2, 2001,
Adult Swim has frequently aired animated sitcoms, adult animation features,
parody, satire, mockumentaries, sketch comedy, and pilots, with many of its
programs being aesthetically experimental, transgressive, improvised, and
surrealist in nature. The block grew out of Cartoon Network's previous attempts
at airing content appropriate for adults who might be watching the channel after
11 pm (ET/PT). In addition to comedy, Adult Swim also broadcasts Japanese anime
and American action animation, and since May 2012 this type of programming has
generally been aired on its Saturday night "Toonami" block, which itself is a
relaunch of the original block of the same name that ran on Cartoon Network from
March 1997 to September 2008. It is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
