Eltingville probably belonged on MTV. It would slot in perfectly with Downtown or Daria, and the network had a history with indie comic adaptations. Although, that era was ending in the early 00s.

the main issue with how adult swim works is probably because they don't look enough into what they greenlit, they'll let something happen without thinking twice of it, which has its advantage but is very flawed cuz when they start to look into it more, its usually too late

About the Learning with Pibby teaser, while it’s scummy that Adult Swim got people’s hopes up for nothing, I genuinely am happy this show didn’t happen. It would have been a legal nightmare, and while I liked the Pilot as a dumb, one off short for April Fool’s Day, I doubt it would’ve been all that good or impressive. And the reactions people have had around this thing in general are just downright hilarious in how stupid and childish they are.

Pibby has gotten the best possible second life as a springboard for crossover fanfiction. It's better off as a toy for the writing community to toss around than a full fledged TV show.

The thing that really hurt with Metalocalypse’s initial cancellation wasn’t just the Fax Machine debacle, but was moreso the network’s full blown dismissal of the MetalocalypseNow campaign. The massive social media campaign and fundraiser was backed by fans, industry people, and some of metal music’s most prolific musicians (the members of Metallica to name a few). Supposedly the campaign amassed a few million dollars, and was pitched to the network to show how badly the fan base wanted a proper conclusion to the show, only for Adult Swim to reject it at the time (2016-2017). Anywho, glad we got an ending in the end, and I was pretty satisfied with it through and through.

My dream is to end up working at Adult Swim and developing my own show. However, like most TV networks tend to do, I fear that it will either get cut short if it's not that popular, or if it ends up becoming a massive deal like say Rick & Morty, it will keep running on without me being able to do anything about it.

I've found out about Eltingville just a few days and I really enjoyed the piolet, too bad Adult Swim never picked this one up. I know its based on a comic and I know said comic become more dark as it went one so my guess is Adult Swim was a little hesitant about it so dropped it, I'm sure if it came out today Adult Swim would have actually picked this show up

Here’s the thing about some of these: Back in 2001 when Welcome to Eltingville first premiered they were only offering relatively cheaply made shows under 22 minutes. It was way way too expensive to produce for the fledgling block for the time. The same definitely applies to Korgoth of Barbaria years later. I can’t confirm or deny it, but I’d have to say this is why Venture Bros was cancelled. It was just too expensive to keep making, especially since seasons could have a gap of anywhere between 2 to 3 years inbetween. And they just couldn’t deal with that sort of production schedule anymore. Especially given Rick and Morty was dealing out the same thing, and given what we know about WHY production took so long for that show? It’s likely Adult Swim didn’t want to take anymore risks on Venture Bros for that reason.

A couple of these have slightly more explanation, not much granted but a bit. Eltingville was too expensive to make into a full series which is a super common reason from them. Venture Bros is an interesting story though. The big reason behind Adult Swim's support for Venture Bros was because Mike Lazo absolutely loved the show. He was a huge supporter for it and gave the team levels of support that most creators could only dream of, which resulted in one of the best TV shows ever made imo. When Lazo stepped down however the new executives wasted no time shutting it down. The finale movie only happened because of the passionate fan base, but yeah corporate politics killed the Venture Bros

There is another Adult Swim I would like to talk about and that’s Minoriteam which is about a team of super heroes which based on a racial stereotype and fight villains based on discriminatory concepts. The art style is inspired by early comic book super heroes like Jack Kirby. This may sound like one of those fake cartoons you can find in GTA V but this show was real and aired on AS in 2005. Apparently the higher ups for Adult Swim really liked the idea of a team of super heroes each based on a racial stereotype and ordered 20 episodes to be made now at days due to political correctness Adult Swim have been trying to distance themselves from the show much as possible and even removed all traces of it in there official website. Can’t say I blame Adult Swim wanting to disassociate themselves from this show and I thought this was an interesting story to tell

AdultSwim execs liked Eltingville, Korgoth, and Pibby. Cartoon Network and Turner just dicided that they weren't going to allocate proper budgets for these. I think AdultSwim's management is one the best out there, they're quite respectful of their audiences and they encourage creative freedom (the Morel Orel debacle being the one exception). Stuff like Metapocalypse and Venture Bros couldn't gave been greenlit anywhere else in the first place, so I wouldn't say that AdultSwim treated them "unfairly." Both shows had fairly long runs even though they were not profitable for AdultSwim. They are not a financially independent network so I think it's unfair to compare them to behemoths like Warner.
