Adult Swimming (styled as [adult swimming] and often shortened to [as] ) is adult-oriented adult programming block from American children's Cartoon Network cable network. It is broadcast every night from 8 am-6am (Eastern and Pacific Time). It is programmed by Williams Street Productions, a subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting System, which also developed two other programming blocks for Cartoon Network: Toonami (which later became the block on Adult Swim in 2012) and Miguzi.
Debuting in 2001, Adult Swim serves as a Cartoon Network night identity, and was established as an alternative program during the late hours of the night when the main target audience of Cartoon Networks, children between the ages of 6-15, usually sleeps. Most of the common content of Adult Swim is known for its experimental, obscene, unorthodox, rough, dry, and improvisational humor, along with seemingly cheap animations, and often odd presentations. In 2005, the block was given Nielsen's own ranking report from Cartoon Network for targeting separate demographics. This block features a variety of animations and live-action performances including the original program, a syndicated series primarily composed of Fox animation programming (ie King of the Hill , The Cleveland Show , < American Dad! , Family Guy , and Bob's Burgers ), short films, original video animations and anime, generally with minimal edits for content.
In the United States, Adult Swim has often aired adult animation features, anime, mockumentaries, comedy sketches, live action, and pilots. Events may have sexual themes, honest sexual discussion, nudity, strong language, and graphic violence; in other words, programs that are deemed inappropriate if aired during the day on Cartoon Network, when children will watch. While the network features comedy and dramatic programs of all kinds, many of its programs are aesthetic, transgressive, improvisational, and surrealist. Thus, Adult Swim has been a source of conflict, with some saying that it is too controversial, while others note that its ability to question norms brings the level of surrealism and experimentalism received. Adult Swimming has been contracted with various studios known for their production in absurd and shock comedy.
Like Cartoon Network, Adult Swim reaches through various services totaling 94 million American households.

History
Creation and development
Cartoon Network's original head programmer, Mike Lazzo, contains (and continues to operate) Adult Swim. This block grew out of Cartoon Network's previous efforts to deliver content appropriate for teenagers and young adults who may be watching the channel after 11 pm (ET/PT). The network began experimenting with a late-night program by displaying anthology events such as ToonHeads , The Bob Clampett Show , The Tex Avery Show , Late Night Black and White , and O, Canada , all of which feature unclassified classic cartoon shorts, and blocks like Toonami Midnight Run. In various interviews, it has been stated that at the time, one-third of Cartoon Network audiences were adults.
During the 1990s, prime time animations aimed at adults became popular due to the success of Fox's
Space Ghost Coast to Coast , Cartoon Network's first deployment into the original program, was made in 1994 specifically for late-night adult audiences. The series was created by Mike Lazzo's Ghost Planet Industries, which eventually became Williams Street Studios, producer and adult Swim program.

In an interview in 1999, the indie pop rock band Calamine said they had recorded the theme song for Sealab 2021. While hosting pitches for various adult cartoons, Lazzo realized the potential to package them as adult-focused blocks.

In June 2001, TV Guide recorded an interview with former president of Cartoon Network, Betty Cohen. He stated there was a new programming block coming out in September aimed at mature audiences.
