The following are [[Trivia Trope|Trivial]] facts relating to [[Adult Swim]].

** With the new [[Network Decay|Live Action lineup]], Adult Swim's latest favorite seems to be ''[[Childrens Hospital]]'', as they practically save at least one [[Ad Bumper]] each week for that show.

Also mirroring main CN's decision of ending [[Toonami]], the biggest victims of the decay has been the anime lineup, which has since been relegated exclusively to the Saturday Night-Sunday Morning timeslots.

Not to mention due to the same constant schedule switching that has [[Screwed
