Adult Swim Announces New Series/Pilots

Today Adult Swim announced there new shows and returning shows for the upcoming season. I'am happy to see that Robot Chicken DC Special is getting a sequel and Boondocks is getting season 4. Mike Tyson Mysteries sounds interesting, check out the official slate below. 

New original series and specials:

·         RICK AND MORTY – Rick and Morty is about a genius inventor grandfather and his less than genius grandson, and the journeys in life they share. From Dan Harmon (Community, Channel 101) and Justin Roiland. Animated half-hour.

Armed with a magical tattoo on his face and a trusty associate by his side — a talking pigeon — if you have a problem that needs solving, Iron Mike is in your corner. The series incorporates live-action appearances featuring Mighty Mike himself, and the gloves come off as the former heavyweight champ and his fowl-mouthed partner gear up for weekly adventures as they put unsolved mysteries — like how to defeat a super computer at chess or why a famous author/werewolf can’t finish his novel — down for the count.

Meanwhile, Gary’s intern Claude is more talented, more devious and will do whatever it takes to impress Satan. A Williams Street production, the show is created and directed by Dave Willis (Squidbillies, Aqua Teen Hunger Force) and Casper Kelly (Squidbillies, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, Stroker & Hoop).  The series is currently presenting premiere episodes on Thursday nights at Midnight ET/PT on Adult Swim.

They Return? New Season Of Powerpuff Girls [RUMOR]

I am not sure what is going on but I know this, it would fit with all the things that has been going on with Cartoon Network lately. From the revival of the classic "Courage The Cowardly Dog" (which are reruns being shown with reruns of the Powerpuff Girls) to turning Saturday Adult Swim into Toonami. I wouldn't find it shocking that the Big C.N. are looking to bring new life into old classics, maybe they are testing out the market right now to see if anyone would watch the reruns on something other then their classic channel Boomerang. 

All I can say right now, is that this is a rumor and any die hard fan may have made this sweet looking poster but with all the sudden shots of life given to old school classic programs, I have to think other wise till that day comes. I will say this, would love a new season of Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, K.N.D.(Kids Next Door) and Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy. but for now would love just Power Puff Girls... would put my little pony in their place, that's for sure.
