"Adult Swim" is a block of programming on the Cartoon Network, which is a cable television station created by the Turner Brodcasting Company in late 1992. The cable network often showcases television shows geared towards the younger TV audience. However in September of 2001 the network launched a new block of programming known as adult swim, the purpose of which was to air TV cartoons geared more towards the teenage/adult audiance After being cancelled in 2002 Family Guy was thought by many to be dead, even sydication of the show could not be seen on any Fox network. However after much deliberation between Turner Brodcasting and Fox, Family Guy finaly found its way back on the air, although in syndication on April 20th 2003, a decision that would one day save Family Guy, bringing it back to the primetime show it is today.
