Adult Swim (Quantumverse)

Adult Swim (AS; stylized as [adult swim] and often abbreviated as [as]) is an American adult-oriented nighttime cable television channel that shares 
channel space with the basic cable network Cartoon Network and is programmed by its in-house production studio, Williams Street. It is part of the American media conglomerate Warner Bros. Discovery. Adult Swim runs nightly from 9 p.m. – 6 a.m. ET/PT.
Debuting in 2001, Adult Swim served as the nighttime identity of Cartoon Network, and it was established as alternative programming during late night hours when Cartoon Network's primary target audience would normally be sleeping. By 2005, Adult Swim would be granted its own separate Nielsen ratings report from Cartoon Network due to its targeting a different audience. The block features stylistically varied animated and live-action shows, including original programming, syndicated series, anime, and short films with generally minimal or no editing for content.
Adult Swim has frequently aired adult animation features, mockumentaries, sketch comedy, and pilots. The block's shows are known for their sexual themes, frank sexual discussion, nudity, strong language, and graphic violence. Many of its programs are aesthetically experimental, transgressive, improvised, and surrealist. Adult Swim has contracted with various studios known for their absurd and shock comedy productions.
Along with Cartoon Network, Adult Swim offers an alternate Spanish-language audio feed, either via a separate channel with the English audio track removed as part of a package of Spanish-language television networks sold by subscription providers, or a separate audio track accessible through the SAP option, depending on the provider.
As with Cartoon Network, Adult Swim's reach through various services totals 95 million American adults as of March 2021.

Original shows currently in-production and seen on Adult Swim include The Eric Andre Show, Rick and Morty, Tuca & Bertie, and Smiling Friends. Adult Swim is best known for its inaugural slate of programming, which were mainly parodies and remakes based on Hanna-Barbera cartoons (including Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and Sealab 2021).
Adult Swim also airs syndicated programs from 20th Century Fox Television (American Dad!, Bob's Burgers, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill), original series from Tuca & Bertie (Netflix), The Midnight Gospel (Netflix), and Dick Figures (Mondo) and have acquired and co-produced various anime series. Adult Swim is currently one of the only networks in the United States that broadcast anime (besides CNX) and the only network that airs such programming aimed at young adults, adults, and teens rather than children.
Currently, most anime and action-genre programming air on Saturday nights as part of Toonami, a former Cartoon Network programming block that was relaunched by Adult Swim on May 26, 2012, as a "block-within-a-block". Cartoon Network shows that have gained a following among older viewers have also aired on Toonami; in particular, Samurai Jack proved popular enough in reruns to warrant a revival in 2017.
