Adult Swim has released all kinds of shows over the years, ranging from classic shows like Rick and Morty and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, to questionable projects that were better as concepts. While critics’ ratings can tell a lot about how a project is going to be received by mainstream viewers, they aren’t always the sole determinant of whether a show is good or not
At the same time, some shows just go over well with all audiences. Adult Swim has had several shows like this, being poorly rated by critics but still having impressive storylines. Considering this, here are five shows from the network that deserve more love, even if their ratings are low.

In Panos Cosmatos' psychedelic 2018 heavy-metal horror cult/revenge epic "Mandy," the laconic lumberjack Red (Nicolas Cage) lives in connubial bliss with his beloved girlfriend Mandy (Andrea Riseborough) in a remote cabin way out in the middle of the Oregonian woods. They spend their days listening to music and staring lovingly at one another. Rather suddenly, though, their idyll is interrupted by a local religious cult, led by the drugged-out, sex-crazed Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roach). Jeremiah is convinced that he is an actual messiah after years of taking hallucinogens and seems to have access to legitimately supernatural demonic bikers (who look like trashier versions of the cenobites from "Hellraiser"). Jeremiah kidnaps Mandy and tries to convince her to be one of his concubines. When she laughs at his naked body, Jeremiah gets mad and burns her alive while Red watches. Everything is bleak and bloody and terrible.

Adult Swim has been gradually taking up more airtime on Cartoon Network, with recent events suggesting that it may eventually dominate the entire day's schedule. Adult Swim's success with older demographics and its recent increase in ratings have positioned it as a key player for Warner Bros. Discovery, which is looking to target the older generation to combat the decline of cable TV. Cartoon Network's relevance is at risk, as linear ratings continue to decline and original series migrate to streaming platforms. With Adult Swim dominating 13 hours of the day, Cartoon Network's future is uncertain.
Those of us who grew up in the 2000s hold Cartoon Network in a special place in our hearts. Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, The Powerpuff Girls, and Ed Edd n Eddy were just some of the titles that defined the decade for the network. When the day was over,...

The earthbending wrestler known as The Boulder is among the most memorable minor characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender, due in part to the striking, energetic performance of his voice actor. The Boulder was heavily inspired by the wrestling persona of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. This is reflected in the name, the character's look, the inflections of the voice performance, and his penchant for referring to himself in the third person. However, The Boulder is also a character in his own right, with a proclivity for earth puns and an arc that sees him denounce wrestling in favor of fighting for the Earth Kingdom on The Day of Black Sun.
The Boulder is not voiced by Dwayne Johnson but by a fellow professional wrestler and sometimes friend. With creators Mike Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko unable to secure Johnson for the part, they turned to another star of the ring. While...

Take a look at where you can watch Ballmastrz: 9009 seasons 1 and 2 and what potential streaming service to find it on.
If dystopian, post-apocalyptic, dark-colored anime is up your street then you should really check out Ballmastrz: 9009. Developed by the animation studio, Titmouse, Inc. — which was partly responsible for Nick Kroll’s Big Mouth — and first aired on Adult Swim in 2018, the futuristic animation is the brainchild of Christy Karacas. Karacas has already worked with Adult Swim on the black comedy animation, Superjail!, and other well-received shows like Robotomy that were aired on Cartoon Network.

The removal of Justin Roiland from Rick and Morty may seem to be a major blow to the series, but Rick and Morty has several ways it can explain and integrate new voice actors. Adult Swim announced that it would part ways with Roiland, the series's co-creator and voice of both title characters, after reports of criminal charges for domestic violence surfaced and were followed by additional allegations of sexual misconduct. Given the seriousness of the allegations, Roiland's removal was undoubtedly justified, but it raises the question of whether there's any point doing Rick and Morty without the voice of Rick and Morty.
Voice recasting is rarer in adult-oriented animation than children's shows, but there are undoubtedly recent examples of it, from series such as Family Guy and The Simpsons recasting Black roles for racial sensitivity to fellow Adult Swim show Squidbillies firing and replacing one of its regulars.

Exclusive: Mather Zickel (Better Things) will star alongside Olivia Applegate, Clé Bennett, Zoé De Grand Maison, Nicholas Logan Sam Trammell and Jessica Frances Dukes in Michael Patrick Jann’s Western horror film Organ Trail for Paramount Pictures, which has wrapped production.
The film written by Meg Turner finds a young Abigale Archer friendless and alone in a brutal Montana winter during the 1870s—fighting for survival and to retrieve her one earthly possession, her family’s horse, from a gang of bloodthirsty bandits. Zickel is playing Pa Archer, a gaunt but imposing figurehead that has a commanding energy balanced by an instinctive compassion. In the throes of a brutal Montana winter, Pa’s steadfastness and sense of purpose—along with the skills he learned as a soldier in the Civil War—are the foundation on which his family’s survival rests.

After a competitive search (watch the video below), Tracy Morgan landed the role of the balding hillbilly squid from Georgia over several Adult Swim favorites including George Lowe (the voice of Space Ghost), Spencer Grammer (Rick and Morty‘s Summer), Steve Blum (aka T.O.M. of Toonami) and Squidbillies co-creator Dave Willis.
Morgan replaces actor Stuart D. Baker who was fired from the long-running animated series in August 2020 over “extremely offensive and derogatory social media posts” disparaging entertainer Dolly Parton and Black Lives Matter.
Morgan can currently be seen starring as Tray Barker on TBS’ The Last O.G., now in its fourth season. Morgan also is an executive producer on the show. He’s probably best known for his role as Tracy Jordan in the sitcom 30 Rock (2006–2013), and for his...

Morgan can currently be seen starring as Tray Barker on TBS’ The Last O.G., now in its fourth season. Morgan also is an executive producer on the show. He’s probably best known for his role as Tracy Jordan in the sitcom 30 Rock (2006–2013), and for his...

“Tuca & Bertie” has been renewed for Season 3 at Adult Swim.
The show debuted its second season on Adult Swim on June 13. The first season had aired on Netflix, but the streamer canceled the show in 2019. The final two episodes of Season 2 will air on Aug. 8 and Aug. 15 respectively. Adult Swim has also secured the international rights for Seasons 2 and and 3, now making the show available globally via the brand.
Tuca (Tiffany Haddish) and Bertie (Ali Wong) are best friends, and they’re both full of ghosts. Bertie is busy excavating her inner ghouls with the help of a therapist, while Tuca prefers to stuff hers behind the toilet. She’ll deal with them later, right now she’s just too busy trying not to be single anymore. Meanwhile, Speckle (Steven Yeun) is building a new house but soon finds he’s driven to the brink of insanity.

Adult Swim is one of the longest-running purveyors of adult animation and President Michael Ouweleen talked up the medium’s ability to produce new content during Covid.
But the Turner veteran also warned that broadcasters and platforms may face a drop in viewing once the pandemic is over as a result of increased social activity.
“Coming out of this [pandemic], I think it’s going to be the 1920s again and people are going to go off and be out in the world in a very serious way. I think it will be gradual rather than sudden. But we will see a time where we’ve gotten really good at producing animation in all these flexible ways, but we might see a dip in content consumption in the future, once everyone’s safe and we have to be ready for that,” he said during an animation panel session at SXSW.

Mike Tyson Mysteries was one of the most insane, nonsensical series Adult Swim had ever produced. And that's saying a lot for the programming block/network that gave fans Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, and The Eric Andre Show.

In the now canceled eponymous animated series, the former heavyweight champion of the world solved mysteries with his team. That included a ghost, a pigeon with the mind of a human, and his adopted Chinese daughter. Saying they solved mysteries really wasn't true. They mostly just made things worse. A lot worse. But at least they were funny while they did it!

Billy Joe Shaver, the outlaw-country original who wrote classic songs for the likes of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings and whose “Live Forever” was performed by Robert Duvall in the 2009 Best Picture Oscar nominee Crazy Heart, died today after a stroke in Waco, TX. He was 81. A friend confirmed his death to our sister publication Rolling Stone.
Although Shaver never had much commercial success as a recording artist, he is widely considered among country’s greatest songwriters. All but one of the tracks on Jennings’ 1973 album Honky Tonk Heroes — an early benchmark of the “outlaw country” genre — were written or co-written by Shaver, including its famous title cut. His best-known songs also include “Ain’t No God in Mexico” “I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be a Diamond Some Day),” “Georgia on a Fast Train,” “Tramp on Your Street” and “Try and Try Again.

Marvel Television’s remaining slate continues to dwindle.
Variety has confirmed that the animated shows “Howard the Duck” and “Tigra & Dazzler” — two of four animated Marvel projects set up at Hulu — are no longer in the works at the streamer. The other two shows, “M.O.D.O.K” and “Hit Monkey,” are currently still on track to be completed. The four shows were to crossover in an event series called “The Offenders,” though that is now off the table given that half the team will not be featured on Hulu as planned.
According to an individual with knowledge of the decision, Marvel ultimately made the call not to move forward with the two shows.
It was reported in December that “Tigra & Dazzler” showrunner Erica Rivinoja and the show’s writing staff had exited over creative differences with Marvel, which led to the show being put on hold. In September,...

It was reported in December that “Tigra & Dazzler” showrunner Erica Rivinoja and the show’s writing staff had exited over creative differences with Marvel, which led to the show being put on hold. In September,...

Lazor Wulf is all set to premiere on Adult Swim with back-to-back quarter-hour episodes this Sunday, April 7th at Midnight Et/Pt. The series, pitched as being about "finding the inner strength to buy your own cereal, not dying, and the art of the scam," is colorful and full of unique characters but rather aimless and ultimately kind of pointless. I'm all for Adult Swim series experimenting with animation styles (see Tigtone and The Shivering Truth), anthropomorphic animal absurdities (see Squidbillies and their inky ilk), and late-night, bizarro takes like Too Many Cooks, but Lazor …...

Last week Marvel and Hulu announced that they were producing a number of animated series for Howard the Duck, M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, and Tigra & Dazzler Show. Those shows would build to a standalone team-up special called The Offenders.
One of the projects that a lot of fans are excited about is Howard The Duck which is being developed Kevin Smith and Dave Willis. Smith recently talked to Marvel.com about the series and you can tell that he’s excited about it:
“The times we’re living in deserve an orator who can identify all the quacks in the system – a straight-shooter who won’t leave us holding the bill. Thanks to Marvel & Hulu, I get to do fowl things to one of my all-time favorite comic book characters in animation! Let’s be honest: I’m not talented enough to handle any of the Avengers, but...

Hulu and Marvel Television have partnered to produce four adult animated series, Variety has learned.
The shows will be based on the following Marvel characters: Howard the Duck, M.O.D.O.K, Hit-Monkey, and Tigra and Dazzler. Like the Marvel-Netflix “Defenders” shows before them, the four characters will then team up in the animated special “The Offenders.” Marvel’s head of TV, Jeph Loeb, will executive produce each project. Disney–which owns Marvel–will become a majority shareholder in Hulu once the Fox-Disney merger is completed.
“Howard the Duck” will be written and executive produced by Kevin Smith and Dave Willis. Smith is known for his Askewniverse films, including “Clerks,” “Mallrats,” and “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.” Smith has also written for Marvel Comics in the past, writing for popular characters like Daredevil and Spider-Man. Willis previously co-created popular animated shows like “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and...
