Cartoon Network’s popular [adult swim] late-night programming block is set to debut on Cartoon Network Latin America on October 7, bringing shows such as Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 to a whole new audience. The block will air Friday through Sunday from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., with repeats continuing until 5 a.m.
The [adult swim] rotating line up will premiere with shows created at Cartoon Network’s Williams Street studios in Atlanta. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law centers on a third-rate superhero who is now a third-rate lawyer trying hard to get by in a fancy law firm. While everyone else gets real cases, Harvey is stuck with the cartoon litigation, allowing the show to exploit Turner Broadcasting’s Hanna-Barbara library and other classic properties.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force follows the misadventures of Frylock, Meatwad and Master Shake, three human-sized food products who share a rental home in New Jersey and hatch all kinds of wacky schemes, much like the crew of Sealab 2021. In this underwater comedy series, the crew of the classic 1972 series, Sealab 2020, has been replaced by a gang of misfits unfit for public service.
Also from Williams Street is The Brak Show, a Space Ghost Coast to Coast spin-off set somewhere in outer space on a planet that looks a lot like a typical American suburb, circa 1965. Here, Brak and his best pal Zorak, a menacing, ill-tempered six-foot-tall preying mantis, attend Learnmore High and get into a heap of trouble.
The Williams Street productions are joined by the newly acquired series Clone High, Mission Hill, Bob & Margaret and Home Movies. Clone High tackles challenging teen issues from the perspective of clones of famous historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, Cleopatra, John F. Kennedy and others. Mission Hill turns Andy French’s sexually deprived, 24-year-old life upside-down when his nerdy teenage brother moves inyp hos trendy loft, and Bob & Margaret expands on the Academy Award-winning short with the serial exploits of a dentist and his foot doctor wife. Meanwhile, Home Movies tells the story of Brendon Small, a socially awkward 8-year old who directs and acts in short films with neighborhood friends as a way of overcoming his shyness and dealing with the recent divorce of his parents.
Cartoon Network Latin America launched in April of 1993 and is available in approximately 16.5 million households in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Latin American viewers can find programming information, games, show clips and other resources at AdultSwimLA.com, which will also launch on Oct. 7.
