Adult
Swim's demographic is much lower than mine. They're trying to court teenage
viewers obviously. No one over the age of 21. Adult Swim isn't Adult at all. If
Adult Swim actually wanted an actual REAL adult audience, they'd emulate CBS
primetime, Military, ION TV, VH1, History Channel, AMC, Boomerang, and Ovation, ( which are tailor made for old people, or so it's been said), NOT Nickelodeon, Cartoon
Network, G4, Comedy Central, and MTV, which are for immature teen viewers. A schlockfest.
Adult Swim is far from mature. Especially lately. Cowboy Bebop is probably the most mature show they've ever aired. I actually don't feel guilty watching DVR tapings of that show with my 62-year-old dad. He actually likes Cowboy Bebop quite a bit (and he's a Frasier and NBC fan, not at ALL an anime fan, but he does like Cowboy Bebop.) He HATES Family Guy and Aqua Teen.
There's a difference between audacious and shocking (but immature and crude) teenage rebelliousness, and it's older viewer polar opposite: Wisdom, Experience, and Maturity. Shows like Frasier and Cowboy Bebop have maturity. Family Guy and King of the Hill don't. They're just more White Trash. Garbage to throw away. No thank you.
