** ''Rick And Morty'' became this after its second season; the third and fourth seasons eached premired after a two year hiatus. This is the result of [[Creator/DanHarmon its]] [[Creator/JustinRoiland creators]] being perfectionists and simultaneously working on other projects in-between the production of the show. When the show became Adult Swim's first breakout hit in years, they order '''70'''-additional episodes just to prevent this trope from happening.

For example, due to the local version of Cartoon Network in the United Kingdom being [[AnimationAgeGhetto classified as a kids' channel]] under British broadcasting regulations, the network is forbidden from showing any adult content, even after the UK's 9PM watershed. As a result, Adult Swim blocks would end up on networks such as the U.K Bravo, [=TCM2=][[note]]Occupying a much shorter 2 and a half hour slot only on Friday nights/Saturday mornings to go along with small selection of episodes that went on the website each week (although [=DVDs=] of the shows finally started being released in the UK in late 2008)[[/note]], Creator/{{Fox}} UK[[note]]aired a 90 minute Adult Swim block on Thursday, with the shows repeated Saturday[[/note]], and truTV UK[[note]]on Monday and Friday nights in late 2016, marking the first time the block has been seen on a free-to-air channel in the UK[[/note]]. Some original show shows are currently available on Creator/{{Netflix}}, while the block itself would end up on Creator/Channel4 sibling E4 (as well as E4's ''own'' sibling, E4 Extra, once the channel launched in 2022), with select programming available on-demand via Channel 4's online streaming service.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: One fan suggested that they pit [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Brock Samson]] vs. WesternAnimation/BlackDynamite and see who wins. Adult Swim ran with it, telling fans to vote on Twitter, and the results would be posted the following week. There was no decisive winner. The final tally was 50/50, and a massive flame-war erupted from both fandoms. Adult Swim followed up with the next match-up: [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Stewie Griffin]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}} Early Cuyler]]. They also said that what they really want to see is the Brock Samson and Black Dynamite fandoms to fight each other.
