Adult Swim
Adult Swim is the name for the television programming block on Cartoon Network, which started in the 2001 TV season, that plays animated cartoon series and shorts geared towards adults. The lineup was originally packed full of comedy shows made in the United States, but has since expanded to include a wide variety of Japanese anime as well.
All times (and music, as they joke) are (E/P).

It is also worth noting that despite lukewarm success in Japan, the series Big O was given a second season due entirely to popularity in the U.S.A. and Cartoon Network funding (although its creation and direction were still left to the Japanese creators). Currently, head writer Konaka has shown interest in resolving the cliffhanger, but Cartoon Network has apparently opted out of more episodes in order to pursue new comedy shows.
