Bizarre shows with 12-minute runtimes that could never air in primetime are no longer unusual. After two decades we’re used to the network’s offbeat humor and witty bumpers between episodes. The people responsible for bringing it to air just didn’t care to tell me about it.Īdult Swim’s calling cards are instantly recognizable now.
And I started watching Late Night With Conan O’Brien religiously in high school. The Simpsons and The Critic are two of my favorite shows ever. I grew up obsessed with The Adventures of Pete and Pete. My first favorite show was You Can’t Do That On Television. A college freshman who never slept and loved-for lack of a better term-both alternative comedy and adult cartoons. I do know I was the exact target audience when it did. If not for the world wide web I’d have no idea exactly when Adult Swim premiered. In a way no other station can ever replicate again.

One Sunday night it just showed up, seemingly without explanation or hype, to change TV forever. Because Adult Swim’s beginning was as strange as the network itself. Which is a big reason why I remember its origins so vividly. And because I remember its early days as though it only launched last month. (Everything makes me feel old.) It’s because the network still feels fresh and original. It’s hard to believe Adult Swim debuted 20 years ago, on September 2, 2001.
