I can remember the first time i ever saw adult swim, 2002 was 6 years old in january, i turned off shrek on vhs and turned to cartoon network too see the promo at :14 then eventually watched baby blues be4 i went to sleep. Damn i love my memory
I miss old adult swim so much....I am an old time viewer, and im only 17. So when old adult swim was around I was a little kid, but i still remember all of it and miss all of my favorite shows. the brak show, sealab 2021, home movies, :( it wont ever be the same.
It upsets me so much that every night the top rated shows are Family Guy, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken, almost every night. Venture Brothers is the only thing that brings me back to that station. Once it's gone, I'm done. It's only Boomerang and Science Channel after that.
i found this website that streams anime, cartoons and adult swim classics in the spirit of old school adult swim. It's called Allkidsouttathepool, the link akotp(dot)com and its 24/7 stream and you can chat while you watch also. Not many people know of it yet.
This had a liquid television feel back in the day. Somethin u could smoke to and zone out on. Space ghost was perfect for this! Btw the little music in the bg is a song by tito puente mambo gallego.
I remember when I was like five and I saw all the old pool bumps and that meant it was my bedtime. As soon as I was old enough to stay up late I searched for that pool bump...and found the beauty that is [as]
@boobdude9 I remember seeing those old bumps, too, when I was like 7. Though in the summertime, I was able to stay up, so I remember the bumps vividly.
So I guess you could say I'm a long time viewer. :)
@THEpillows100 I hear ya. I have two friends right now that I am very close to, otherwise I dont really have any. But to be honest with you, I would rather have two really close friends that I know very well then 15 friends that I am more of just aquantiences with and am not that close. And yeah, I have been told, make more friends but honestly nobody seems worthy of being friends with me. Haha, that probably sounds really arrogant and narcassitic but its true.
I remember these as a kid. It was always the part of CN that I remember occiasonally watching and had a feeling that if anyone caught me watching it, I'd be in DEEP SHIT!
its breaks my heart to see cartoon network gone the way it has. cartoon network, I hope you're happy. I was a brand new freshman in high school, watching adult swim on one of the first holidays of the year, and it was so rare and precious back then, since it was on only twice a week. now its on every day and its full of mostly garbage. bring back the mature, serious anime, bring back the strong comedies. your whole network is watered down and its time to get back to your roots!
I used to stay up late when I was little and watch Adult Swim in hopes of seeing naked cartoons. I fucking love the little promos or commercial things for it; the background music just stuck with me... there's another I love more than this one, but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, AWESOME memories.
@THEpillows100 I feel the same way. Its like people are miserable as adults so they try to make everybody else miserable like them. I am fortunate to have a few friends who are like me and really laid back so it helps a bit. But yeah, its like once you become an a dult its as if its a license for everybody else to treat you like shit.
@THEpillows100 I think thats why alot of us love these old adult swim clips. Because it reminds us of a time when life was simple, yet we were all too stupid to realize how good we had it. I mean, I remember being 14 and sneaking around watching adult swim and getting caught by my parents every now and then. I had no responisbilities other than eating, sleeping, and school. No bills, loans, or other bullshit I have to deal with now. Life used to be so good, and I had no idea how good it was
I'm with you guys. The only good stuff they air now is The Venture Bros., The Boondocks, KOTH, and various animes like Bleach. Family Guy is alright in small doses. I think ATHF went downhill a while back, and I personally never cared for stuff like Squidbillies and Robot Chicken. They did end alot of their good shows like Space Ghost, Home Movies and Mission Hill for whatever reason. If they started making more clever shows like those again then I would become a regular viewer once more.
Haha, ya know what sucks? During the height of awesomeness for adult swim I would always have my parents tell me to go to bed at like 10 so I would have to sneak downstairs and watch it, resulting in me getting caught more than a few times. And now that I am 21 and can do whatever I please adult swim sucks now so I dont feel like watching it. I think alot of us commenting on here were kids whose parents kept telling them to go to bed during adult swims years of greatness.
I feel the same way as you guys, I used to look forward to turning [as] on at the end of the night with my girlfriend and watch it all the way through. Now I just tevo one or two shows off it (considering there are only one or two shows I can stand watching anymore).
The good old days ended when they aired tim and eric for the first time. Before that I loved everything they played.
Now adult swim is looking like there's a weathered floss between them and Cartoonnetwork. Seriously, that little chicken thing with the rocket is unnecessary.
GOD!!! I MISSED THAT SO MUCH!!! "All kids outta the pool!" ... God, thank you dude, that nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. I was 9-years of age when Adult Swim first came on so I had no idea of the programming back then. My brother use to ... Uh... Reinforced the point that I wasn't suppose to be watching Adult Swim by restating the quote I wrote earlier. Adult Swim went down the drain, in my opinion, when it moved to Saturdays. If only originality was immortal... >__>"
these were the days i was young like 4 years old but now they do these clown kids and live action characters and rainbow faced old ladys that scare the crap out of some young viewers
haha damn, I remember when I was like 7 and I saw the guy telling the kids to get out of the pool, I was so confused. Then Home movies started playing and I was like "oh shit, I'm going to start staying up late now".
i thought i was so hardcore... when i was like 8-10 staying up to watch adult swim... i remember these bumps... and i remeber that weird robot that read the mature context disclaimer aloud
I remember these commercials and thinking "Whutttt? I dont get it @.@." Then Id be like "Yess! :D" When Yuyu Hakusho or Cowboy Beebop would come on XD. Also at such a young age, I didnt really know what my parents would do since the content was violent and not rly age appropriate? So I would quickly change the channel when they would enter the room LOL. But thinking about it now....being the grownups they are, they prob. dont even know the slightest lick about anime XD.
Bring back memories...I remember I use to watch ATHF,Space Ghost, Cowboy Bebop, Sealab2021, and Gundam 0083 back in 2001-2002. Now they just show cartoons such as Family Guy, King of the Hill and American Dad. I could toon to FOX or anyother local channels to watch those shows what's the fun in that.
Yes, Adult Swim wasn't for Adults, the movers of Adult Swim were pre-teens and teens at the time. We were instrumental in reviving Family Guy, because of the success of the acquired reruns with Adult Swim. I miss it when it was like this, I remember watching it one night current times and they showed these old openings for like a minute, I was excited because I though they were back to that. But they weren't.
guys missing old skool AS? come visit us at allkidsouttathepool(dot)com, watch anime and adult swim classics 24/7 streamed for free, don't forget to register and chat it up with fellow viewers
i watched these as a kid, they were scary as fuck. i cant even remember the shows i watched that were equally scary as fuck, like home movies. all i do remember is watching dexter's lab or some shit and then these scary idents came and i was hooked forever :D
I grew up watching adlut swim. I watched it since I was like 7 or 6 and I'm 15 now. I still watch it but I miss this so much. They still show some of it now once in a while but still it isn't the same. =(
It's funny.. I was about 8 or 9 when AS first debuted and the first show that I actually remember watching was Home Movies, and that was only when my mom would be asleep and I could switch the tv on without getting caught. LOL Even though I'm 18 now (which is the age that I should've been back then in order to watch AS) I still watch it from time to time, mostly for the anime though. :)
no longer will cartoon network be like this, and that's sad. i remember being in my early twenties and watching these cartoons. "the brak show," "space ghost coast to coast," "sealab 2021," "home movies," "harvey birdman" and "aqua teen" were the shit back in the day. now it's all mostly live-action crap. miss the old school days
those were adult swims best shows and always will be
the live- action crap i feel is not what adult swim is about. even cartoon networks daytime shows are live action! i guess its "live-action network" now
@cjsdharma well i neva liked teh brak show it wasnt funny to me home movies i loved and harvey birdman idk y they ended it at least they still show Aqua Teen i don't mind the live action stuff on adult swim since its being promoted as a separate network but live action CN is crap the good thing is at least its down to 2 live action shows 2 bad they couldn't cancel those 2
OMG! I'm going to cry! I remember in my old aparment (I was 4) and I was in the cover with my sisters and I had a scraped knee and I was watching Sea Lab or The Brak Show. I remember thinking something but I forgot lol
You just took me back lol! I've been watching AS since it first aired in 2001(I was 14 years old then lol). I still love it now and I'm almost 24 years old lol! Thanks for the upload!
I was just a kid when they announce adult swim was going to come on cartoon network and i pissed. Because i thought the shows that were going to appear were going to be stupid. Some were but i like family guy then i started to like anime...that's when i apperciated adult swim.
This was back when AS was only on Sundays. A year later they added a Saturday block just for anime then AS aired on Thursdays for people who missed the Sunday premiers. Finally around 2007 they did it all week. Now it's on every week starting at 9:00PM. It used to come on at 11:00PM then 10:00 and now 9:00
@mudkiprules4 hmmm i might be wrong but i thought thursdays came before saturdays did. i remember when saturdays first came on. either way im glad its everynight now
@OlAdam7 I know for a fact that Adult Swim didn't do Fridays until Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was canceled in late 2006 because I remember Cartoon Cartoons were on from 12am - 6am (like all the old shows plus Dragonball Z) I mostly remember stuff from 2004 and onward :D.
@mudkiprules4 that i remember for sure too. i also remember the promos it showed saying it would be on 7 days a week. but i sure do miss cartoon fridays =/ i remember most from 2005 and onward. i think back in in 03 and 04 i was getting caught staying up later than what i was suppose to and was watched more for those years to make sure i was in bed =p oh and sorry oladam7 is my other account forgot i was signed on it
@PooButt3 I remember all the bumpers from 3:08 and onward. Remember when Futurama was still on AS? I was like 6 when I first watched Adult Swim in 2002. I miss Fridays too but to be fair at that point it was going down the shitter with Fried Dynamite. That lasted what? 2 months not even. I was more of a Nicktoons kid all the way up till 2002. Adult Swim used the first bumper as the intro to Adult swim after the Parental warning from 2001 - 2003 when the logo changed and the bumpers got weirder.
This really brings back memories, i used to watch it back in the day all the time, then i kinda stopped, then i started smoking pot and began watching it again.
Im 18 nd i remember watchin this shit every fuckin saturday for anime and sunday for the funny shit. AS has a serious lack in good anime now.. Case closed lupin the 3rd outlaw star FLCL Inuyasha were the best ones they had.
I remember one day i was expecting 2 stoopid dogs and gumby and i brak and space ghost came on...I was highly upset but can i cry now or now..i miss the past
as much as i miss these original bumpers you have to admit adult swim has done a great job at keeping themselves fresh. they're by far the best network and have been since the early 00's. i don't like some of the shows on it today (especially hour long blocks of family guy or american dad) but as a whole they've given themselves a great personality with lots of depth, and they're just a tv broadcaster.
hahahaha man, old adult swim was sooooo funny and legit! i miss these bumps! but then again im not saying the bumps now adays aren't any good tho. gotta love [Adult Swim] no matter tho xD
most of these long time viewer comments are from people between like 14 and 20 years old, who back in 2001 were little kids. I think its funny because we were their first audience :-P An adult-oriented block aired at 10:00pm september 2nd, 2001 to millions of children expecting their regular sunday night cartoons. 9 years later, we're happy that we caught Home Movies instead of Scooby-Doo :-D
@themonopolyman91 I first watched adult swim way back in 2002/2003. Now I teach kids who were 10 years old when I saw these promos. BTW home movies was great.
@themonopolyman91 LMAO I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING! I remember my first experience...I was told you turn off my t.v. at 8, but being the rebel I was (and still am) I faked it and turned it back on when everyone went to sleep..I was laying in bed, watching courage the cowardly dog. Then advertisements for Cowboy Bebop started playing, I figured I would go to sleep then. I ended up watching it, falling in LOVE and popped my late night tv viewing cherry :) CHEERS TO [AS] for the memories!!!
@themonopolyman91 so true man. I first saw AS in 2002 and I was just a little kid. Now I still watch it. It isn't as good but theirs still some pretty good shows.
lol I remember these bumps. I was only about 8 or 9 years old when AS first debuted and aired at 11 PM. I use to pretend that I was asleep so my mom wouldn't say anything and then when she went to bed I'd turn on the tv and watch AS. xD I guess I was introduced too early? lol I'm 17 now, but I still watch AS on Saturdays just to get my anime fix.
I remember randomly turning on the tv to cartoon network and finding this back in Sept 2001.... I remember I used to record shows on VHS back in those years to watch home movies and futurama, such good times.
Man, I remember these. I was too young to watch AS back then, but I remember staying up late to watch all of Toonami, and then these would show up, and I'd change the channel as fast as possible.
I remember this :') though I was but a kid, I use to think Adult Swim was adults did other activities such as swimming, while the kids watched "late night Cartoon Network" xD
But I still watch this today
I ALSO remember it use to say 14+ in the beginning, and I was about 12, then when I reached 14, it changed to 17+ now I'm 17 :)
Daaaamm memories. This is when I first started watching AD. So many nights of incomplete homework lolz

Yes, Adult Swim wasn't for Adults, the movers of Adult Swim were pre-teens and teens at the time. We were instrumental in reviving Family Guy, because of the success of the acquired reruns with Adult Swim. I miss it when it was like this, I remember watching it one night current times and they showed these old openings for like a minute, I was excited because I though they were back to that. But they weren't.

It's funny.. I was about 8 or 9 when AS first debuted and the first show that I actually remember watching was Home Movies, and that was only when my mom would be asleep and I could switch the tv on without getting caught. LOL Even though I'm 18 now (which is the age that I should've been back then in order to watch AS) I still watch it from time to time, mostly for the anime though. :)

no longer will cartoon network be like this, and that's sad. i remember being in my early twenties and watching these cartoons. "the brak show," "space ghost coast to coast," "sealab 2021," "home movies," "harvey birdman" and "aqua teen" were the shit back in the day. now it's all mostly live-action crap. miss the old school days

@cjsdharma
those were adult swims best shows and always will be
the live- action crap i feel is not what adult swim is about. even cartoon networks daytime shows are live action! i guess its "live-action network" now

This was back when AS was only on Sundays. A year later they added a Saturday block just for anime then AS aired on Thursdays for people who missed the Sunday premiers. Finally around 2007 they did it all week. Now it's on every week starting at 9:00PM. It used to come on at 11:00PM then 10:00 and now 9:00

@OlAdam7 I think they might have both came out at the same time. I remember Adult Swim starting Saturdays for anime back in 2002
mudkiprules4 1 year ago
@OlAdam7 I know for a fact that Adult Swim didn't do Fridays until Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was canceled in late 2006 because I remember Cartoon Cartoons were on from 12am - 6am (like all the old shows plus Dragonball Z) I mostly remember stuff from 2004 and onward :D.
mudkiprules4 1 year ago
@mudkiprules4 that i remember for sure too. i also remember the promos it showed saying it would be on 7 days a week. but i sure do miss cartoon fridays =/ i remember most from 2005 and onward. i think back in in 03 and 04 i was getting caught staying up later than what i was suppose to and was watched more for those years to make sure i was in bed =p oh and sorry oladam7 is my other account forgot i was signed on it
PooButt3 1 year ago
@PooButt3 I remember all the bumpers from 3:08 and onward. Remember when Futurama was still on AS? I was like 6 when I first watched Adult Swim in 2002. I miss Fridays too but to be fair at that point it was going down the shitter with Fried Dynamite. That lasted what? 2 months not even. I was more of a Nicktoons kid all the way up till 2002. Adult Swim used the first bumper as the intro to Adult swim after the Parental warning from 2001 - 2003 when the logo changed and the bumpers got weirder.

Sunny4434 1 year ago
as much as i miss these original bumpers you have to admit adult swim has done a great job at keeping themselves fresh. they're by far the best network and have been since the early 00's. i don't like some of the shows on it today (especially hour long blocks of family guy or american dad) but as a whole they've given themselves a great personality with lots of depth, and they're just a tv broadcaster.

most of these long time viewer comments are from people between like 14 and 20 years old, who back in 2001 were little kids. I think its funny because we were their first audience :-P An adult-oriented block aired at 10:00pm september 2nd, 2001 to millions of children expecting their regular sunday night cartoons. 9 years later, we're happy that we caught Home Movies instead of Scooby-Doo :-D

@themonopolyman91 LMAO I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING! I remember my first experience...I was told you turn off my t.v. at 8, but being the rebel I was (and still am) I faked it and turned it back on when everyone went to sleep..I was laying in bed, watching courage the cowardly dog. Then advertisements for Cowboy Bebop started playing, I figured I would go to sleep then. I ended up watching it, falling in LOVE and popped my late night tv viewing cherry :) CHEERS TO [AS] for the memories!!!

lol I remember these bumps. I was only about 8 or 9 years old when AS first debuted and aired at 11 PM. I use to pretend that I was asleep so my mom wouldn't say anything and then when she went to bed I'd turn on the tv and watch AS. xD I guess I was introduced too early? lol I'm 17 now, but I still watch AS on Saturdays just to get my anime fix.
