What happened to adult swim's experimental shows?

>>154685629
The internet made all humor into that so it became redundant

Mike Cazzo left and took Mr. Pickles with him

You kinda posted it. Tim and Eric (mostly Tim) got their claws into the network heads and veered them away from actual animation. It's why they got a live action sketch show with their stupid live action faces all over it. They got Big O cancelled and who knows what other original programming they blocked so they could get a bigger cut

Huh?

AS hasn't been "just" the weird experimental nonsense late night block for a decade now
They're expected to make money thanks to Rick & Morty becoming so mainstream

Nonrenewed, whatever. Heidecker thought it was stupid so away it went without a conclusion

THey realized they actually needed to make money and have shows people wanted to watch.
>>
>>154686610
Heidecker was mad an animated show got a bigger budget than them and threatened to get talent to boycott working for adult swim.

I absolutely hate T&E but do you have a source for this? It's pretty scummy of them if true.

Do people still care about Adult Swim at this day and age anymore?
The only originals I'm familiar with are the memes from Aqua Teen and a few mentions of Miss Monarch, but that's it.
>>
>>154685629
Isn’t this show basically Angela Anaconda for adults?
>>
the best part of Timgate is that tim isn't even funny
>>
>>154685629
>What happened to adult swim's experimental shows?
Rick and Morty killed them.
>>
I personally think it was when AT&T killed Turner Broadcasting and made Williams Street report directly to Warner Bros
But the Reddit cartoon became broadly popular around the same time so it might have been multiple factors

>>154686103
I always liked the episodes where one of the characters dies
>that episode where Tim hangs himself in jail
>the Bass Fest episode where everyone in Jefferton drowns in a flood
>>
>>154685629
Looking back I kinda hated Adult Swim shows. They weren't experimental. They were shit. The characters would just stand around and prattle unfunny lines. Then they would get confused about what they were talking about and start talking over eachother trying to remember or to follow a new train of thought like morons. Frisky Dingo had this, Metalocalypse had this, Space Ghost had this, Lucy Daughter of Devil etc. It was not funny, it was stupid and a waste of damn time. The only shows that didn't have it and didn't suck were Robot Chicken and Venture Bros, which had actual fucking animation. Garbage channel.

Sealab 2021 was a genuinely experimental type of show and the first two seasons were gems
>>
>>154685629
Do you know why this show was made? Ill let you in one secret: its advertising filler.

Adtervtiser paid by blocks that covered more than 1 show. Time and Eric shows were about $8k an episode to make so they could bundle it wirh something else, charge advertisers a lot, then pocket the difference.

Most cartoon network shows with bad production exist for this reason. It was to rip off advertisers. It had nothing to do with being experimental
