TV Shows That Should Have Aired On Adult Swim Instead of Nickelodeon

The Top Ten
1 Sanjay and Craig Sanjay and Craig is an American animated comedy television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013, to July 29, 2016, for three seasons and 60 episodes. The series is about a 12-year-old boy named Sanjay Patel who owns a talking pet snake named Craig.

Sanjay & Craig has the perfect combination of art, plot and humor for an Adult Swim show, and it aired on Nickelodeon, That's horrible, the butt jokes and gross stuff.

2 Ren and Stimpy The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.

Ren & Stimpy had one of the best plots ever, but it's content made it perfect for Adult Swim, it's full of adult content.

Adult Swim or Cartoon Network didn't exist at the time

3 Breadwinners Breadwinners is an American animated television series created by Gary "Doodles" DiRaffaele and Steve Borst for Nickelodeon. ...read more.

Breadwinners has the type of humor for a channel like Adult Swim, the butt humor.

It Would Be So Much Better On Adult Swim

4 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

Rocko had adult content and it wasn't anything appropriate for Nickelodeon, good thing John Kricfalusi got fired from this and Ren and Stimpy because of that.

5 Harvey Beaks Harvey Beaks is an American animated television series created by C.H. Greenblatt for Nickelodeon. Originally announced to premiere on March 29, 2015, the series instead premiered on March 28, 2015 following the 2015 Kids' Choice Awards.

I don't think the show is cancelled, because by samurai jack was cancelled by 2004 but it's come back in 2017 in Adult swim and I think this show come back in Adult swim but in year between 2018 - 2023 but I don't know when

I know the show is cancelled, but when season 3 comes, trust me the show will comes to adult swim but without Greenblatt.

Are you just saying that because of the time when foo peed in front of the 4th wall

Harvey beaks is a Worst show ever!

6 Oggy and the Cockroaches Oggy and the Cockroaches is a French animated comedy series produced by Xilam and Gaumont Film Company.

They showed boobs in the background in one scene.

7 Fanboy and Chum Chum Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American 3D CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on Fanboy, an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast August 14, 2009 to July 12, 2014 on Random! Cartoons. The series was first broadcast October 12, 2009 on Nickelodeon as a preview, then officially premiered November 6, 2009 after SpongeBob's Truth or Square.

The worst CGI ever made, two kids running around drunk with underwear on their heads, not appropriate.

Not to mention references to adult movies like A Clockwork Orange, Silence of the Lambs, etc.

8 Robot and Monster Robot and Monster is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon from 2012 to 2015. Created by Dave Pressler, Joshua Sternin, and J.R.

Robot and Monster has been praised for its clever writing and appealing character design.

Good thing it was cancelled after a few episodes, it would've ran longer if it aired on Adult Swim because of that kind of humor.

9 Mr. Meaty Mr. Meaty is a Canadian-American television series created by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley. The show centers on two lazy teenage boys named Josh Redgrove and Parker Dinkleman, who work at a fast food restaurant.

11 Invader Zim Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR.

Not really, it didn't have that much adult humor and it wasn't violent enough to be on Adult Swim, it was fine where it was, it's more for either Nickelodeon or TeenNick, Sanjay & Craig, Breadwinners, Rocko's Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy were hands down more adultish and violent than Invader Zim, including Dark Harvest.

Take this off the list, it's not disturbing enough to be on Adult Swim, some of the other shows on this list are, even Dark Harvest is tame compared to an episode of Rocko's Modern Life or Sanjay and Craig.

12 Victorious Victorious is an American sitcom created by Dan Schneider that originally aired on Nickelodeon from March 27, 2010 through February 2, 2013 . The series revolves around aspiring singer Tori Vega, a teenager who attends a performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts High School, after taking her older sister Trina's place in a showcase while getting into screwball situations on a daily and more and more adventures.
