How the Adult Swim shows timeline works

This deck gathers original series from Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's late-night block, and asks you to line them up by the year each one premiered. Every card carries a deadpan one-line summary under the title. One show opens the timeline with its year in view, and the rest come to you one at a time. Slot each into the gap you believe is correct. If it's right the year is revealed, and if it's wrong the show is moved to its true position while one of your three lives disappears.

The block's earliest shows recycled old cartoon footage and leaned on limited animation, and its later slate moves into stop-motion, live-action sketch comedy and ambitious animated sci-fi. Many of the first shows launched almost together, so the opening stretch is crowded. Cult status is a poor clock here: a show that blew up through memes or streaming may have been on the air for years before you heard of it. Short-lived oddities with only a season or two are the hardest cards, since few people remember when they aired.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
