No - I don't watch it. I have no idea what it is - I assume it's not broadcast in the UK, at least on free to view.

My favourite show - the one I watch most regularly is the Simpsons, but there are some others that I enjoy more, but are only on rarely.

"So many people have come and gone, their faces fade as the years go by. Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun in the summer sky" - More than a feeling, Boston

@ joannaardway: Adult swim is basically a category for shows that contain inappropriate content, and it's probably a term only used in the United States even if you have such shows.

@ the topic: I don't watch it.

Adult Swim is a late night block show broadcasting (as far as I know) in the USA and Canada late at night, usually from 11:00AM-4:00AM EST. Shows include comedy shows like:
___________________________
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
The Venture Bros. (favorite)
Family Guy (favorite)
American Dad
Robot Chicken (favorite)
Harvey and Bird man
The Gary Coleman show (boo)
Space Ghost Coast to Coast

But what makes Adult Swim popular is it's late night anime block. Anime is Japanese Animation, "cartoons" you could say for an older audience. In Japan, whats considered appropriate for 7-10 year olds is appropriate for later teenagers here. Shows include:


Cowboy Bebop (classic)
Samurai Champloo
Super Milk Chan (currently not airing)
FullMetal Alchemist (favorite)
Inuyasha (getting boring fast)
Dragonball GT (currently not airing)

and a ton of other titles. Sometimes Adult Swim runs movies all night, such as Anime OVAs like Spirited Away, or some other movie, for example I have seen them air Kiki's Delivery Service (classic). Check it out, but be warned that this program is aired LATE because it is not suitable for kids under the age of 17. Enjoy
