Like when I was younger I'd watch cartoon network as much as I could then [AS] came on then my parents would kick me off the TV as it was Inappropriate I'd watch some of it anyways but still. It seems odd that such adult content was on a kids network why not have adult swim as it's own channel

It was to give teenage and above ages something to watch while they are stoned eating Funyuns.

They only had like 5 shows when it launched. It would have flopped as its own channel.

They had already dipped their toes in late night PG-rated content for a few years before that anyway

Shhh, it was a good idea

I always loved staying up till like 3 watching adult swim on school days

(Also they probably didn't have the money for their own channel? Or a network thing)

Harvey Birdman and Space Ghost coast to Coast are some of the OGs.

Harvey Birdman had very heavy allusions to adult material it was great.
